Uhm. I don't believe in anything is impossible. It's possible, but will just required a lot of effort to be put in, mainly on hosting the events to keep the players interest. I believe EoD (Emperor of Dragons), and 9DKing or whatever by that annoying Thai101 something guy was release as an attempt to compete with Play9D at the time, and fail miserably due to piss poor management. EoD was basically a KP (KamikazePenguins) server, and idk what the man was thinking when he made XP low as fuck even at RC. The other server die within the first week or something due to greed.
Being the first doesn't mean anything in my opinion if you can't do things right. I played through all four revision of Play9D, and I honestly like the fourth/last to be the best. The most balance PvP server I have play, follow by the first two version of Deebys' server.

I grind to IM10 or so on GC without premium, and XP cards were bought from stand or from events. Even so, it's still tedious as hell. At least on GC you can trade Item Mall products, so I don't see how complaining about their pricing even do anything since you can always buy it in-game. Back on G1, you can't even buy any of those since they aren't even tradable, and you could easily get scammed because you have to give your weapon to another person to scale it for you.

You are not force to play GamesCampus' version of 9Dragons at all, so I really don't know what you mean by "fk off from GC at last". They ain't forcing you to play you know...

That's your opinion, and I respect that. Thank you for not trolling around like others. That wasn't sarcasm by the way, I'm being serious. However I have to disagree. I believe that most players actually come to 9D Pserver for the PvP, considering the fuckery that you need on official just to be on the same ground as the top spender. I just can't see how people would spend money on something they can do themselves by setting up an offline server. I don't think contents has anything to do with why those server fail, just piss poor management. I can give you example at request, since I don't want to turn this into some unnecessary flame war.

I'm down for all the above except clothes refine. It's heavily pay2win in my opinion. I mean PvE wise it's fine, but it just completely break the PvP aspect lol. Some of the top PvPer on GamesCampus only become good thanks to it. I duel some of them before, and most of them only win against me by a small margin (10-20%) due to them having advantage over me with h4 pieces, weapon and premium. There are players that are great before it came out, but i feel like their name only get recognition because of how much they spend rather than how well they understand the game.

This explain why SF's mastery buff is OP as fuck. The presentation of how deadly Sacred Flower is despite the weak, and fragile look.
