Overtime

Low level you can use staffs. There's some good blue ones, like the one from WC quest. Even with higher lvl if going 2h fury.

Watch lag.

I'm not gonna read all this. Don't forget that Elysium had fresh server already going on, those people can't play until it's reopened under Nostalrius core. Coming here and demanding fresh is just silly when it's not only Nostalrius players gaining from it. They can't just close their old server and wipe it just like that.

Plenty of people will play old servers, me included. They are just not vocal about it. Hype has tendency to appear this way.

Honor system was there. Only thing that got delayed was first calculations being worth 2 weeks.

Survival is overrated. Go troll if it's pve only.

I think 30 rap is safe average.

Respec, repairs, arrows/drinks/food, auction fees and riding are the only things taking gold away from the game - enough said. I do like 5g respec since healers and tanks can do their farming more properly but it's not authentic experience. I suggest lvling a farming alt.

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro + ModMic with EHP-O2D. But I suggest starting with Kingston HyperX Cloud II.
