About alchemy: It's nice, stop crying if you can't get 5, this is a long-term server, not a "get +12 on first try" sht that makes people quit after the first week
About magic stones: Personally, I'd be nice if you either increase the drop rate a little or you add tables to allow us to craft our stones.
About "p2w": Stop crying, nobody cares if you're poor, you could simply sell your stones/elixir for silk and be happy -.-, Also, SRO has been p2w since... Always. Just like 98% of online games. Specially MMORPGs.
About the server: Sometimes I don't know if you should increase slots or just keep updating an useless HWID Limit system. Either options will be good since increasing slots will allow us to join easier as long as you're banning abusers, while updating that shitty system will make people quit as you keep restarting the server almost every fucking day so you're eventually reducing server capacity since it won't reach 3k ppl again. Hence, we will be able to join.
