The server used to be really great for casual players, but I can’t recommend it anymore if you have a family, limited free time, or simply don’t want to invest so much time into one server.
I used to enjoy playing WoM because I never felt forced to spend countless hours to make progress — even with little time, I could still move forward slowly but steadily. Examples of that were things like the Battle Pass or mining.
Most people would probably say “just farm Metins,” but on this server you need Double Drop, which you can only get through voting or the item shop. Since I only play about 5 hours of Metin2 per week, I don’t see the point in buying 7 days of Double Drop. So you basically have to vote. But even if you vote very actively, you still need to vote for 10 days to get 7 days of Double Drop — and that’s assuming you never miss a day. So if Metin2 isn’t your #1 priority like it isn’t for me, you might have Double Drop maybe 50% of the time at best. Without it, farming isn’t even worth starting.
For low-level runs you also need very strong gear — like for the Snake run, for example — so that’s not really an option either. Because of that, I used to just check which Battle Pass missions were worth doing and spent most of my time mining, which was actually very relaxing after a long day.
However, these two systems for casual players have now been completely ruined. Someone “smart” decided that with a normal pickaxe you can only mine Copper and Fossil Trunks, and you need to refine 100 of each just to upgrade your pickaxe — only to unlock two more ores, where you have to repeat the same thing again. On top of that, it’s level-restricted. So you want to mine Heaven’s Tear? No problem — just invest 1.5kkk or spend hundreds of hours farming (without making any profit during that time).
The Battle Pass has also been ruined for casuals. The quests are uninspired and completely unrealistic if you don’t play a lot — like “Kill the Desert Fox,” which only appears during an event that, according to the event calendar, happens once a month. If you can’t play that day, you simply miss the quest. The dailies are things like “gather 9kk yang from selling items” or “gather 40 specific herbs,” so definitely not something you can finish if you just want to play for an hour in the evening.
I would honestly be willing to support the server with a premium pass, but as an ultra-casual player, there’s just no way to complete it anymore.
So unless you plan to invest a lot of time — or at least spend money regularly — I really can’t recommend this server anymore, which is a shame.
