Hugest gold sink, like actual gold sink, as in giving money to the game not the players, is weapon regrading.

[Tennenoth]

Yeah, biggest gold sink is 100% equipment in all forms - spent nigh on 500 gold just trying to get a couple of pieces of armour to a reasonable standard.

Also, that final farming quest is a bitch. I did all of them in a day quite happily (stockpile of resources the clan had collected alongside some of the short term ones) but those rares... Wow... It took me at least 100 attempts to get a rare rice and that only takes 2 hours, not 24. lol

I guess I shan't be gaining that straw hat any time soon, that or I need to go into my "rainy day" savings

If you farm poop a farmcart is worth it because you can do 3 tradepacks at a time.

And the poop makes it go 50% faster.

Things have become increasingly bad with PvP on Shatigon, particularly within the Halcyona war. The Nuian side is dominated by Spanish players, which is fine in and of itself, but they are abused heavily by many of the other language speaking players because they refuse to speak English. In turn they refuse to help in the Halcyona wars and suchlike.

On the other side, there is a huge clan named "RED", made up completely of Russian players who have moved from their own servers. I don't care too much about this, until it comes to the Halcyona war. They just dominate us within 5 minutes because every single time it comes to the Halcyona war there's probably 300 REDs show up, take the flag and just instantly wipe out our force. Individually, or in small groups they are no stronger than us, but the sheer number that they muster is ridiculous.

There are very few names that I recognise each time we fight, I could probably ring off five names as they are either downright useless and use underhand tactics to obtain honour or rather good players.

The Nuian side's biggest issue is the fact that we physically cannot gather and control that number of players to fight against the RED horde, and that's not to mention the rest of the enemy running about.

Early on there wasn't much of an issue since the server numbers were limited, it was fairly equal and we had good fights, but now that the servers are being freed up, more and more Russians have jumped to the server and are basically ruling the world, not to mention the number of teleporting bots has increased significantly. (Not saying they're Russian, just that they have increased too.)

The Nuian side has no cohesion and I'm afraid to say that I've not seen a single Nuian fighter with more than 3000 honour points, and I have 2600 at the time of writing.

Ah well, I needed to at least write my aggravations somewhere before I explode on teamspeak, text is so much more civil.

Sounds pretty bad. It's not as bad on Melisara, but on Freedich we're often outnumbered and there's not much you can do about that.

Armour looks terrible, finding something that fits is quite challenging as I mentioned before, however, I finally got the hat. Not as stylish as the lighter coloured Warband one, but it's not terrible either.

This game makes me sad. Both fishing and treasure hunting are fun features yet you earn zero money with it. In fact with fishing you actually lose money :/

I've started to play 3 days ago. First thing i've notice was ''Restriction'' system. You can't create character in old servers while there are new ones. It may look reasonable but i want to play with my friend! So i had to wait 1-2days to create a character. Second thing was you can't create more than one character in one server. What is it? Do i have to buy something with real money/ingame money? I want to see other classes a bit.  So i logged in and started to level up.  Choosing 3 spec looks really good. I'm playing as a ''Daggerspell'' But since i can't create a second char i can't test all of it and see how it plays. Quests are boring. I mean i would like to see more fighting quests instead of farming/building/talking. I'm level 15 at the moment so it may be the reason. Learning things quests etc etc... I like the fighting part, based on combo. To be honest i hate the cloth armors, i saw a lot of shiny plate armors on my level but i'm a mage and wearing ugly stuff. Does it make a difference if i wear plate as a Daggerspell while leveling?

Use cloth as a daggerspell, since you're a mage. There's gonna be almost exclusively fighting quests after 15 (still boring though). Afaik you can make 2 characters per server, at least I could (but I'm a subscriber).

[Tennenoth]

Besides apparently only being able to create one character, you can switch your classes at literally any time you want, so to test new classes, there is no reason to create a new character, simply talk to a trainer or even a Priestess of Nui and she'll allow you to change your classes.

So i have to pay to create a 2nd character. That worries me a little, i hope game wont turn to a pay2win thing later cause i like it so far.

I didn't know that. Do i lose anything if i do that? Like skill ranks or something? I might try it in future

Besides money, which isn't a huge outgoing if you're a lower level, you don't lose anything. If you get a class to a certain level, you'll keep it. For example, I switched out from archery at level 46, it's still 46. Then I switched out from songcraft at level 36, that's still 36 and now I have auramancy at 38. I can switch back to any of the ones I originally leveled at any time and still keep their levels.

In short: Just a small financial loss of no more than 1g 50s (at level 50).

Nah, but you'll start from 0 if you switch to unleveled specs.

[Tennenoth]

I think you start at 10, but I could be wrong, I never bothered checking.

Sorry, I only played a bit of the russian beta, so I don't know the correct level either.
