    Welcome to the adventure! Regarding the Pay-to-Win topic, it’s the big question in every classic MMORPG. The key here is that spending money speeds up the process (Pay-to-Fast), but it’s not required to enjoy the content.

    Many players reach the maximum level and complete dungeons by trading diamonds with other players and taking advantage of free events. If your goal is to reach ‘Top 1’ in the rankings in record time, spending helps , but if your goal is to enjoy the story, dual classes, and the social environment, you can absolutely do it for free. Give it a try and join a guild, they’ll give you the best tips to progress without spending if you don’t want to!

    Elo, I'd say it depends on what u wanna do in the game. If u wanna start from scratch and invade the endgame asap, there is no way around of spending money in order to skyrocket you up... but if you wanna slowly progress, there definitely are ways to do so free to play (I guess a lot of minigames, dailies and farming). I saw many ppl do this and succeed...


    But u can't deny that u can buy diamonds for PNC that u can buy for real money and spend these in auction house for better gear, that's basically kinda pay to win, but u can achieve the same completely free to play... especially in the endgame, depending on your activity and guild, u can quite easily sustain your spendings by your income. I know many endgamers who haven't spent anything for a long time. Some of us still do, because those have no time to do the farming instead, but that's not as many I'd say.


    From an endgame mdps perspective, if u wanna play all classes and be max flexible in your class choices for each ini and raid setup, u have to spend some money to properly (corruption-)roll different weapons with different rolls (that sometimes change within the meta), but it's just like 5€ per roll in average (if u know what u are doing ofc), I'd guess... but if u wanna play your 3-4 classes of choice (instead of 25+), it's muuuch less cost for sure..


    So compared with other servers or even the OG rom, it's waaaay less p2w, probably the very least one, but can't tell much about current midgame bcz I'm endgame-only for years..
