if u are a free player u will become a slave for donators. Free need create a buff, create a spoil/craft to 'TRY' make some adena selling shots who another free players cant buy because adena rate is so low if u just do grind u cant buy shots.
But if u have money, u just can buy starter pack, won 10k shots, buy 1/2jobs and go ahead w/o stop.
but if u a free player u will lose big ammount of time trying get a better gear/stufs D.
But no dude, '5 years of exp for a best economy balance'.
edit: And farm AA for dyes? nooo just buy some coins and get better dyes who free players will able to buy only after 2 weeks.
Dude no kids play l2 anymore. This server never will be a retail like, just another grab money, will fail in 1 or 2 months like shockworld because of same problem.
