I never had a problem making my names so i guess i was unique. So i doubt even with the server merge I backlashed with any other Phantoms. My little sister also never had any problems. I think i know what you mean by overflow if my account page is anything to go by. I saw an extra account on mine and my little sisters page which had an extra "_i" at the end.
Cool. Looks like they already hooked up your overflow then. If you still can't find any characters you could have further hidden accounts (e.g. with _l _c etc.). But if you just played on Chaos and Sakray (which then merged into Iris I think, hence the _i on your overflow I guess) you'll probably just have your main and the Iris overflow.
I'm sure you'll have trans fairly quickly if you do your research for Renewal. With the introduction of being able to go up to level 150 the EXP curve was changed so non-trans is still considered 'early' on the EXP curve. I'll look you up sometime maybe. Also if you remember their names, your old friends might be on ROPD website, you can hover over their name and see when they were last seen in the game (on the old servers or on the new Ymir).
Although I do admit, i still dont like the existance of Kafra shop.
Microtransactions is pretty much the model for a lot of MMO games (I don't play it but the pay2play WoW also introduced a shop eventually to sell things like in-game mounts etc. which will also be a cash shop thing for RO in future, mounts for all classes), especially free2play which RO will soon follow f2p model even more. You'll be able to login to any accounts for free, though with some limitations unless you subscribe (and subscribing will come with bonuses like extra dungeon maps). Also brand new accounts will have to pay a initial opening fee. But after that free to login. It should hopefully increase population across all servers (but as with all changes no doubt it will come with some drawbacks, I am hoping we don't see a influx of bots on Ymir etc. But at least i can have an alt account without having to pay much if anything now).
My take on Kafra Shop is its OK (inevitable even?) so long as people can still do things in the game without it e.g. Dungeon Teleport Scrolls for shortcutting to a dungeon is fine so long as players (like me, I can't really afford it much) can get to those dungeons without a scroll. No doubt the game changed a lot with it in. But it was always coming I guess someday and has its pros/cons.
Also i have to ask. Do people still AFK at Orc dungeon? It was honestly the only way my little sister could substain a stable income. I made her a Greeder Blacksmith just for orc dungeon back in the day. Her blacksmith is like all agi/vit/INT lol.
No idea on that one sorry. For awhile Orc Dungeon went dead because there were much faster maps to level at. Its possible its seen a revival now with the new EXP penalty so that it became fast EXP at a certain level for players again.
AGI/VIT/INT...
You can get a free reset as a returning player. The reset NPC *might* still be there if you want to just pop on briefly to go to the middle of Prontera and find the Mesmeriser below the fountain. Just need to be 0 Weight. If he's still there I reccomend resetting all characters right now as he's being taken out soon if he hasn't already (due to non-returning players using it). If he's been taken out you have to ask the support staff for a free reset and wait.There's various ways of making zeny now. But the market is still settling in I think (not that the market ever was steady
). But there are a few threads around about zeny making or could ask. Also cataloguing your storage and price-checking on Ragial (also double-checking on newer RO databases that it isn't some item you might actually want to use in Renewal).
