Hello,

Just curious to current state of iRO, are bots out of control? Is there any new dungeons that someone can solo? Are prices inflated? Average server size? or even your personal opinions of the server you're on.

I am on ymir, and the prices are indeed up up up. (Check ragial.com )
I have a chaser and I have always solo'd and it is indeed viable! :Emo_22: I am currently soloing a wee aco.. and its do-able. Someone actually told me yesterday that i was hitting fast <_<

Bots on ymir are ignorable, no spammers, its easy to make zeny and there is always someone there..

I cant comment on the other servers as i havent played there...

I'm on Valk and mostly only solo because the party system is screwy and doesn't promote partying. Also it's hard to find a party without being in a guild.

Valk has a lot of bots, but the GMs have been banning more since they hired more people and tickets are generally answered in 6hrs or less (on a business day). Right now the population is 3,000, I estimate 1,000 or less are bots, but they aren't awful kill stealing ones like pre-renewal. If you're on a good map, chances are you'll see 0-3. The spam bots in town are a pain, but they are usually silenced by a GM.

I can't say much about the market on Valk because I don't really pay close attention to it.

It's really encouraging to see topics enquiring about going solo on the party request board.

Soloing is really the only way to get decent EXP. @@

Agreed.

Single /noctrl-ing PvM is a grindy sucky exp unless you have a nice dmg AOE to solo mobs...

Party exp is sucky too unless you do turn-in events...

Put the blame on Gravity as much as you want for their poor system, as I clearly haven't noticed the auto-bots and multi-login accounts damaging the warrant to party more than the impatience for exp. (And how about the majority of private servers putting on absurd rates?)
