So, unfortunately, the server is, once again, down today. Well, the point is, how often does the server come down, and how long are the downtimes? But (And get ready for a long post, that was really just unintended!) in a way, this actually makes me like the game even more, as I am a new player! For a game with no need to purchase a game CD, and I do realise you use to have to, to add so much content, and a new server, to the game so quickly is very cool, 'uber' in fact! I know that one of the things was the Ring, and the other, todays patch, was the new server. I saw many players who thought this would affect Aripostle (Did I get that right?) although I think it shouldn't really do much to it, maybe lose a few players or even gain a couple. I say it won't affect it because, neither I nor any of the fellow homins I have met, have ANY intention of leaving, I say it might lose for obvious reasons, I say it might attract a couple new players because players that were excited, players who have never played the game before, that go to Cho might drift to Aripostle (I know, I know, I'm horrorible), although unlikely!
I really have to say that the community is by far the best, and without a doubt, the nicest, most considerate one I have ever seen! Remember, I am still on the starter island and I suppose I really haven't seen the real community, and I also have heard, there are a lack of players on the mainland and although that is quite scary, I won't stop playing because I already have a spot guild open for me. (Shout out to the Mercenaries of Atys

) I think this will make the game even greater then I already think it is, although from the looks of it, there are some who find this game a grind. I'm definately not in much of a position to talk, but I think thats foolish! Do you not see the freedom? The fact that I don't have to be confined to the title of one class, Dalleren the Warrior, but I can mix and match how ever I want, Dalleren the Warrior Mage Crafter Harvester (Does that not sound much more interesting?). I know, I know, there aren't titles like that and I'm just talking about the obvious things, but what I'm saying is that all I see are bustling players that won't just sit down and enjoy themselves! Now maybe that won't be fun to many, but what I'm saying is the joy of this game is the community! Its just not fun alone, I know, I'm big on soloing. Try grouping to explore, and when your getting chased by mobs, sacrifice your buddy so you can go that extra 10m. Sorry, sorry! I really intended to just whine about the server downtimes (There so long... :'() because I simply can't wait to log back on to that other world! Sorry about that long post.
Edit: Oh and btw, just because I have light blue arms, a purple chestplate, and light green leggings does NOT make me a freak in any way. (You know who said it you *******)
Second Edit: One more thing! Thanks for all the new content that was recently added! The Ring is really fun to mess around with!
