I wish two things would happen in MMO development.

1. Ditch the concept of being locked into a specific server
2. Ditch the concept of being locked into a specific region.

This would let guilds be worldwide. If someone doesn't mind the extra latency why shouldn't an EU person be able to decide one night "I want to play with those cool US Gaf kids" or vice versa.

They should treat servers more like they treat the concept of channels. Same with regions.

Nothing is preventing EU players from playing on the NA servers full time and dealing with bad latency throughout their experience, and vice-versa for NA players on EU servers.

If your idea means being able to use your EU server character on NA server for one night and then going back to EU servers, then that would be a terrible investment for developers on data replication and bandwidth for maintaining data consistency between servers across the world. I would also guess that a majority of players would mind the extra latency and not make exhaustive use of such a feature, so there is very little benefit on the developers' part.

So, short story, I managed to breed a Tier 7 horse named God, and am going to sell one of the horses I got her with.

The horse in question is a T6 Female with no breeds or breed resets available, but is only lvl 21 with Sprint, Drift, and Start Accel.

I'm giving you guys first dibs, I will choose a stable with low traffic and sell it when you're ready, going for 11 mil at market value, if nobody wants it by tomorrow, I'll probably either exchange it or sell it in calpheon or something.

So I've got 3 gift letter of repayments I've never used (1, 2, and 3) and I want my inventory space back. Do I just randomly send these to people or something?

Send them to someone who will send the same one (Letter of 1 for Letter of 1) back to you. They have a chance at obtaining rare accessories.

All of the horse markets are connected by the way, it works the same way as the item marketplace. My high level tier 6 horse sold literally within seconds so whoever you're trying to sell to would need to be lightning fast.

Yea I know some guildies that refresh that market nonstop for hours to snipe those, I'm sure there are others too.

Even if you coordinate with someone, it can be sniped by others.

Hey, any chance I could get reinvited to the guild?

I was removed because I wasn't on for a week or so, maybe longer, and I believe it was during the time when the guild had very limited slots. Is there still very limited or no?

So today I went on a journey...

I was on the coast, trying to complete my knowledge of Western Balenos when I came across Epheria Port. I hung around for a while and took in the sights.


However, then I happened upon a ship. It hadn't been in port when I arrived and came in a bit after. I got onto the ship and suddenly it became to sail without a captain.


It was a very long journey, and my mind even told me that the ship may go to places that are unexplored and that I would die... Yet it never happened, and after a long journey. I reached land, the city of Altinova in Mediah, far away from the Port.


After having seen the desert and rock filled land, I saught to return to Heidal. It was a long journey back, but along the way I saw more of Mediah and stumbled upon the Kamasilve Temple. Eventually, however, I reached familiar greener lands.


:)
 
Been seeing a lot of GAF guild quest completions on Orwen Server but haven't seen any players in game yet!

If you guys ever get bullied or have people PKing you let anyone from Immortal Vanguard know and we will come mop em up!

One single world, spanning all regions. It would be hella cool, but the logistics to make it work I imagine would be hell. With really good connection speeds, low latency or some synced data-center magic...
 
BTW, i'm also under the name Aadrianseth now since my Maehwa might take over my main for now

God, this game really needs to let people contact others though family name.

I'm really interested in playing this game, but not ready to invest before I try it. Are there trials or guest passes available?

Really not seeing how they classify her as "single target"

Even her unique ability, "Decapitate" is an AOE.

You can only use most skills once and have to wait for the cooldown. Musa can spam them because he can use it on cooldown. The classification is more for PvP anyways.

Not sure if there is another thread for asking for guest codes, but I couldn't find one. Anyone have one they could spare? Would love to try this out before dropping money on it.

I don't have any left (sorry bud), if you don't have any luck here you can try Reddit maybe?

Formed a scroll party for the first time last night. Takes awhile, but it sure is lucrative. Everyone was suspicious of each other at first, but surprisingly good group considering we were all randoms.

I wonder if armor or weapon stones are better, and if they should all be sold off at this point for repair tokens and shards? Is everyone else just using them?

I am holding on to mine for the moment. I have 11 armor stones and 3 weapon stones.
I am pretty much using them to pick up more so I don't miss out due to inventory space.

What is your gear like? Repair tokens (memory fragments) should be saved for upgrading boss weapons/armor imo. Otherwise it depends on if you want to level your weapon or armor first. Weapon stones are worth more, but you need less of them overall. I do have an easier time farming armorstones, so you may want to use the hunter's seal for them.

I personally went ahead and upgraded my armor first since I can share that with my alts, and I am still waiting for ninja/kunoichi release to have a "main".

Holding on to them then may be best. I was a bit worried since their market price is gradually dropping, but maybe it doesn't matter in the long run.
Using maxed yuria as a tamer, but haven't upgraded my armor much...its just so expensive to repair things in this game, scared to death of switching to liverto.

Also interested in Kunoichi, but hear it's super hard :O
