Review of Electus after playing for approximately 1 week;
PROS:
Jobbing – server has the nostalgic feeling that reminds me of iSRO 80 cap when jobbing was popular. Some of the trade caravans in Electus have 100+ traders at one time. The gold you receive from the job roles is fantastic, yesterday I completed a small number of trades are received close to 900mil. With 900mil you can easily buy an SOS weapon clean.
EXP / Drop rate – I can successfully level a character from 1 – 100 within a few hours with SBOT. No requirement to gap with the large amount of SP you receive on creation.
Events – Server had a wide range of events that are on-going throughout the day, these attract a lot of people and give you the opportunity to get free silk. I myself have received a decent amount from the Trivia questions asked randomly within the server.
Change the appearance of your items, I love that I am able to run around with my 8D set on. This brings back the memories of Greece, iSRO 2006. Everything is customisable within the server and added a lot of fun to the players.
Server community – this server has a fantastic community, majority of people are friendly and will help you out if required.
CONS/REQUESTS:
Drop rate on certain items can be lower, it took me 3-4 days to find SOS protector boots to complete my set, I would love to see a low drop rate being added for SOX drops on monsters, I remember back in the ISRO days waking up to check your characters, it was like Christmas finding SOX randomly. I understand this could lead to a botting culture however, if the rate is that of the Diamond boxes on 95+ mobs then there shouldn’t be a major issue.
Old player’s vs new players – there is quite an extensive gap between sets, being a new player myself I find it difficult to PVP and job vs people in full SOM/GE sets. I would like to see an easier way to close the gap between the sets, should this be a pay to win option where I could upgrade SOX through silk or an easier way to obtain the items. I also feel due to the servers age the GS quest rewards could be increased, it takes quite a while to get them, majority of players are maxed or close to maxed with the skills already. Waiting two days for 1 skill takes a lot of time when all I want to do is PVP or Job.
HWID limit – 2 at the moment however, I would like to have a character as a staller in town to sell goods, there is nothing worse than having to stall while seeing a job caravan passing through. Again, I understand the reasoning for this, I guess I just need to buy another computer!
Higher rewards on FWG, it is hard to find a party for FWG as no one likes to PVE. Increasing the rewards would increase the amount of people completing this dungeon. Yes, there are 1 star FWG but who wants to solo? This game is more exciting when playing with friends.
Overview: I love the server and will continue to play, I hope the server continues like this for many months to come. With the GM input I have no doubt this will be the case.
Many thanks
