Why didn't you come to Hera?

I've seen plenty of people regreting not coming to Hera when it first opened because they thought it'd be a complete failure but as you can see everyone is doing pretty good, we have people at 7x already and a bunch of 4x-5x.
So you had in mind coming to Hera but you didn't do it for X reason eh? Well don't be so upset about it. I'll try to arrange a new group!
Remember that we don't know for sure when cap 90 is coming, and people from the union hitting cap won't be able to go to higher mobs at 80, am I right?
Well, I want people looking for a rather new good server to sign up here, with a bunch of you you could start new low lvl parties and hit high lvls soon, it took only a month to do this, so you're not so late yet.
I'm trying to do this because a lot of people "missed the train", I know I did in Venus and before Hera opened I was upset about it, and I bet you are as well.
We have plenty of room in several of our union guilds and some people might be willing to help you lvl up when there are no tickets to burn down, that includes me.
I'm pretty sure out of the 15.000 members SRF has, 16 are willing to come, because that's all you need to keep one steady party when others are offline.Now, I know server traffic is pretty bad so you'll most likely need premium.
Here's a little something we all have been through in Hera, build-wise, and what a party should be like at all times:
2 warriors
1 cleric
5 wizards
You won't really need a second tank at lower levels, but having two is a must imo.
One cleric is more than enough.
Even though one cleric is enough, at least 2 wizards should have cleric sub, another one bard and well the other 2 can do whatever they please.
Now multiply that x2 and you have 2 parties.
Just think about it for a moment, why didn't you come at first and what's keeping you from coming now? The answer is "because of the lack of parties at lower levels", as far as I know that's a pretty messed up problem but by gathering active, cool people here that won't be a pain in the butt anymore now, will it?
I encourage you to sign up in this thread and add a build, a sub and a name. Once we have at least 16 people we can get started.
Any support will be greatly appreciated

2 words :
SERVER TRAFFIC (sorry for the caps but tried Hera when it openened, got in once but now never, ever seem to get in anymore)
I know you told us to buy premium but not everyone is willing to spend money on a game not well serviced (understatement).

Believe me, the silk is well worth it when you have people to grind with and have fun with at all times. Imagine going from lvl 1 to lvl 64-69 with only one premium.
Hera, just like Venus is actually fun.
Seriously guys, you complain about server traffic and goldbots but that's happening in every single server. Only difference here in Hera is that you cn actually have fun in-game, lots of fun

1) Server traffic
2) Bots (All the bots from Venus + shitload of 0x33)
3) No fortress war....
4) Venus
I tried to log onto Hera when the server opened up, it was full even then.

Traffic and bots are on every server, but the no fortress war thing really sux, Joymax screwed up on that one.

I don't know how you can justify calling my guild a 'botters guild', and then using botters to advertise Hera as a server trying to get people to join. With the exception of 1 or 2 crazy people, everyone over level 70 on Hera got there by botting. So don't get angry and acuse my guild of botting and then use botters to try and get people to join the server. Fool.

I loved Hera enough to level a Bard to 27. Server traffic was the only thing that stopped me. I had a really great legit guild and there were loads of legit parties. It's a very good server, but the constant disconnections made me stop. I tried logging on three times yesterday but I dced within three minutes of each login so I gave up and went back to Xian.

Yeah the server traffic and the DC's are annoying, however hopefully that'll change once they up the server limit..

No buddy, you're the fool. We don't bot, we're all legit and those who are caught botting are kicked out of the guild and union.
SRF is against botters, therefore you don't really belong here.
What's your in-game name?

I'm the fool?
You say I don't belong here as botters aren't accepted yet you don't even know my IGN?
Therefore you have no possible way of knowing anything about it, so how about you just button it pumpkin and go play with your stupid friends in that ridiculous union.

I would have moved to a new server ages ago, but I have invested silk into my archer, and I have a guild to run. If I could afford to buy silk for hera (must have a pickup pet and at least 1 four week sp ticket,) id gladly move there. I can always entrust my guild to one of my members. But if there are in fact parties there, I may stop in for a visit. What Euro build would you guess is the most sparse? Im making a rogue/ bard on zeus, but I know most people don’t like rogues in there parties.

The least played Euro class is Bard. It's pretty strange because they are wonderful to have in parties. And there are tons of legit parties on Hera, even more so than Venus because of the low level population.

Silkroad.
The repeating cycle of the same shit on every new and old server.
My reason for never leaving athens.

I'll make a cleric for kicks and giggles

We're talking about doing this on Hera, right? Not Gaia?

I guess having 20b Gold also helps in staying there.
And 1 warrior + 2 bards + 1 cleric + 4 wiz would be my guess at best euro party. 2 bards for the lovely mag dmg dance, the moving speed, the dmg absorption buff and fill wiz MP.

the fact that a large group from 0x33 decided to go there made me realize its a terrible choice if you want to handgrind.
for each real player there will be couple clients making the server dead as soon as they hit 80.
