Spent, more or less 20 hours on server and here's my feedback so far
- early game is made well, you can but don't have to do quests. I personally started questing on lvl 70, will get to why later
- making money is made well, especially when you don't need ress nor buff potion till 70-80. You can make bunch of kk if you decide to exp on your own, your only struggle will be potions - i suggest doing timespaces all the way to 48 so you get all possible huge potions (250 if i remember right) for free
- as i got to 70 through mobbing (from lvl 40 in a2, from 60 in a3) i had around 10kk to start with, just from drop! i collect everything, like literally. You can also save a lot of gold by crafting food instead of buying pots
- why i started questing on 70? it's simple.. duo sword+mage both with 60 eq (now we are on 85 and it's not much better) couldn't beat LoD. We got to 87 just from completing act1, altho it took much longer then exp itself, it was much cheaper. Some quests were obviously harder, due to lower drop-rate, but doable
- is the server p2w? Definitely not. You will see players selling even limited items (wings, mounts, pets) for only 30-35kk! This is what lvl 85 with 85 equip can earn in, more or less, 10-15 hours of farming. Higher players said it takes 2-3 hours in volcano/a6 to make 30kk
Edit for the money: i'm sword and i solo with sp2 in act3, i make around 2kk/hr. Believe archers and mages are capable of earning a bit more, as their aoe is way better and so is damage in this phase of game.
So far best official-like server. Only missing bunch of players to beat crap out of raid bosses. But be honest, if server started with 200 players, economy would be ruined by now and instead of 10-15 hours of farming i would have to say 100-150.
