Sorry for double posting; I don't know how to delete the other post in Game Discussions :s

So which is worse?

A freshly new server which will probably have more people, but more bots and thus affecting badly the economy (yggdrasil)...

Or

A server which is pretty much old and may already have a bad economy because of past decisions or glitches/bugs (ymir)??

Any help appreciated! Also, I'd like to know how it is on Ymir the prices of items etc...

Flip a coin. Heads for Ymir, tails for Yggdrasil. The server you are leaning towards the most will become apparent if you like the results or if your mind tells you best 2 out of 3.

ygg = fail. ymir = real server. valk = bots

The economy on Ymir though it may seem strange kind of balances out because although prices are higher you can also sell things at higher prices to help afford things. A bit like the economy of the 1930s vs economy of 2011. Someone from 1930s would go "OMG 50p for a chocolate bar!?" but by todays economy 50p is more easy to obtain. Not to say Ymir is normal, but its not so bad.

However in a botted economy the bots basically run the market because its not worth it much to sell things. As bots don't factor in time in their price. A real player will mark a card at a higher price because it takes a lot of time to obtain it and somewhat rare so its fair they can get more money for it. But bots reduce the rarity so if a real player get that card its basically junk, they'll just be vending 1 of 1000, instead of 1 of 10. It can be tougher for new players to enter the market too as low-level items sell for 10x less than on a non-botted economy.

You can check Ragial for comparing prices more if you like (just use the drop down on right to change servers).

At the end of the day its your decision and Ygg or Valk will have its plusses and minuses just liek Ymir will have. Just speaking from perspective of a Ymir (and previously Chaos & Loki) player. Whatever your decision, have fun.

Thxs a lot; that convinced me

[Rutana]

I have to agree with Soudou, again... (that starts to get creepy... XD)
As additional note:
It's not funny to level up alongside with bots, exspecialy when they're killstealing. So that's another point for Ymir.

Also if you didn't notice, the GMs are trying to get people to leave Ygg.
