Venture for sure
But seriously, though, University started just two weeks ago for me as well, so there's plenty to see to these days. I'll be on Venture whenever I can, though - just because I know the server is going to be amazing!
Well i know wich guild your going to join already and no you don't get to pick! we pick you! lmao.
BigKrallHunters, I chose YOU!!! *throws pokeball*
Full krall int spear nuker or full krall str archer is the question, though.
The only concern I have now is grains being added to Magic Pop. That would basically be P2W for warriors, killing them with HP grains + vigor grains = fucking impossible.
The only question I have now is what's the status on snow? I remember it was unlimited for a little while or something.

I'm quite certain snow shield has a longer cooldown now. Would need for Qynch to clarify this, though!

Only vigor grains are added, and regarding someone spamming them, dont worry, Bobby has his price.
Snow isnt unlimited, it has its old cooldown back.

Anyway Attibu, in all seriousness, I do have a couple questions about this server.
First, It seems like you really took care of balancing the classes a lot. Have you tested all of these balances in depth in differing situations? (fw type pvp, jobbing type pvp, 1v1 type, etc. . .)
Would I be able to just make a trader character and Job all day in a hunter/trading guild instead of grinding? I plan to do that. . .just get a character to the minimum required level to trade and join a trading guild and. . .trade (Joymax made a long terribly written article back at the End of the Beta about how you can do this, and why you don't need to worry about leveling up too much etc etc. . .)
I saw you elaborate more on the Golden mob spawns, and how they are there not just for exp, but for some good drops. . .How do classes who really can't kill uniques well (i.e. bards) fare?
Will bards have Mana Orbit? (Lazy Battle Barding ftw!) Will some of the tried and tested builds work on this server? or could I try just about anything? (I was thinking of going str blader)
Will you have some of the higher level uniques spawn around the map randomly. . .simply scaled down to manageable levels?
For Jobbing, will you be able to add a lot of cool new transports? Customizations? Like different recolors, flags, decorations to put on our transports(maybe they'll last 30 days and you can reapply them to the transports etc etc) Maybe you could make Behemoths Available as well? (not just to the winning FW guild. . .they could be purchasable for a lot of special currency or even item mall money etc etc) Will you be able to have different types of those too?
You say "long term" server. What does that really mean? How long do you plan to have this server not just up, but alive and thriving? What are you planning to do to ensure that you can not only keep people playing, but grow the player base?
And Lastly (ties in to the above question) How will you prevent newer players who may have joined months to even a year after the server opens from feeling that they have to spend "years" playing + tons of money to "catch up" to the players that were here at the start and have full gear etc etc. . .?
In my opinion, not giving new players a chance to catch up kills games off, yeah some for the older player may whine and moan, but eventually without new players coming in, and being able to close the gap in a reasonable time period to "compete" with everyone else, the server will eventually die out. no one wants this to happen and most players would gladly give new players a few more headstarts to add to their own, or have someone to fight against in the various aspects of the game

late players will catch-up when they had default alchemy rates cuz you could burn all your hard earn gold through trading in alchemy trying +5 and perfect stats, assuming the alchemy was just like the v1 cuz all will be bought with gold. Late players may catch-up easily cuz trying above +5 is close to impossible.

I don't really understand what you're saying.
I mean I kinda do . .but. . .not really. . .

let's put it this way. You're gonna waste most of your hard earned gold just trying to fix fix the stats of your set. whereas new players will probably +3 set with a little blue, and your's are +5 with good blues and better stats, its not that much of a difference in set, and it will take few days or a week or 2 to catch-up.. Cuz all alchemy materials are sold in NPC including elixirs at very high price, so you can have limited tries in trying to fix or plus your set.
Let' say I have +5 set FB, now I will concentrate all my gold trying perfect my weapon's stats to 60-80%, now it will cost me a lot of gold and time. It is way enough time to new players to catch-up, there won't be a huge gap in items, probably only the stats.
last time I fixed crit for my glaive to go 80% it cost me 1.4bil which I gained by trading almost daily during specialty trade hour for like more than 1 week.

OH I see, that's an intersting way to think about it I guess. . .
I must have been looking at it from a perspective of a new player trying to catch up to a botter union who is full krall egy +12 fb gear.
I'm assuming since there are no bots, there won't be +7 full nova sets runnign around after three months. . .right? because that is pretty much like damn, How am I going to compete against these guys in the events/jobbing to get the gear in the first place? to be able to at least not die in one hit when I want to try to make my character's gear better etc etc. . .
I mean people are going to item mall for higher than +7 or +9 gear right? or is Attibu going to have a +ing limit on gear?

if they make alchemy like it was in venture 1, having +6 makes you very awesome, even after they announced that they were closing and people blew all their resources away, the highest was +8 most people only max +6 only 1 guy made it to +8 with his weapon.

That's awesome news to me. I loved how +5 was "good enough" in iSRO 60-80 cap, +7 was krall, and there were only a few +9 items on a server.
I'd go glaive force here but they suck for PvE. I guess I'll wait for the server and decide for force bow or spear.
Thanks to my job and timezone Euro isn't an option besides wiz or rogue [zzZzZ].

I'll let qynchou answer these questions

Virustotal Scan 14/46 on your sro_client.exe. What code do you guys use to make it pop out like that?
It's our new security system, as you can see those results are "heuristic" which means that it's not a "known virus" but since our client is protected the antivirus does not really like it. It's not a problem though, but you might want to add the folder to your antivirus' exception list in case it tries to delete the client.

Previously it was mostly int spear and rogues above anything else. I don't remember seeing any bladers last time, so hard to tell if they can do well.
and no you don't get to pick! we pick you! lmao.
I don't really understand what you're saying.
