    1) Is the game active and worth playing? active in pvp and pve? yes is active can get both pve and pvp but not alot open world pvp

    2) how much time will it take to copup with current player this depends on you really what goals are and if want frm or cash

    3) which class should i start as my main character to be honest i want a class which dont need much to spend on or suggest me a class :p (gamestyle dont matter)agin depends your style Cleric nd support been what ive enjoyed and times hted.sins seem be a cheap clss squishy at first but powerhouses end game
    plus minuses everyclass

    4) where can i download manual update patch (it take more time in patcher :S) think with arc this option was eliminated let others answer

    1) Others will say no, but i think we do have a pretty active community, on our server PVP comes and goes, my roomate is more active in that field then i am i sometimes watch her. Plenty of quests based on chinese lore and mythology to do PVE wise, i enjoy reading them anyway XD at lvl 40 you get a dayly bounty hunt as well as faction base quests most things are at lvl 100+ however.

    2) honestly it will take a LONG time for a new player to catch up. at least for pvp. certain classes (like veno) are more leniant, as they have a primary roll of a debuffer, gear is less important as they are more a hit and run class.

    3)hmmm low cost class i think the lowest is probably a venomancer, they rarely need mp/hp pots with several skills they have to heal each by 60%, as well as a skill that swaps hp/mp percentages. pretty easy to maintain. however every class is unique and each has a different purpose in squads. assasins make good farming toons if you'd like to farm drops for coin.

    4)I don't think they have a manual patch for the game anymore unfortunately.

    5)Have fun, and remember this is a GAME. some people tend to take it way to seriously. i suggest tryng it, if you like it, stick to it.

    6)There is no 6 >.>

    7) depends on the server, they vary between west, east and europe.

    Being cheap and wanting to PvP you'll probably want a support class such as cleric, venomancer, or maybe even stormbringer or mystic.
    Pick the server where you have the lowest ping or/and where your timezone match best. The different timezones are: PST, EST, CET.​​

    1) Is the game active and worth playing? active in pvp and pve?
    • I'd say it's pretty active and can be worth playing. PVE-wise, at lower levels, it can be a pain as there aren't as many new players but there's a lot of support you can get from other people with guilds. PVP, you have a lot to catch up on, so it will take a few months before you can achieve to get the bare minimum for it (gear-wise).
    2) how much time will it take to copup with current player
    • I'd say playing around 3-6 hours daily can get you from lv. 1-100 within a month or two. But then you'd have to rebirth so that will be another few months. Overall, the game offers a lot of dailies (which you can get sick of) that gives away EXP and coins.
    3) which class should i start as my main character to be honest i want a class which dont need much to spend on or suggest me a class :p (gamestyle dont matter)
    • I'd go with either Nightshade classes. Stormbringers can solo instances most other classes can't at lower levels, while Duskblades have a unique play style to their advantage. But I'd also suggest Mystics, Venomancers and Clerics.
    4) where can i download manual update patch (it take more time in patcher :S)
    • Unfortunately doesn't exist anymore. Stupid idea with Arc.
    6) what timezone is this game on?
    • Twilight Temple is PST, not sure about others.
    7)does it have different servers? if yes which is most active tho i prefer international
    • It as a specific European server and mostly International servers.
    8)any tip/advice/anything u want to tell somone new to this game hehe :P
    • Don't be afraid to ask questions and be a "noob", plenty of people will help you out. There are guilds that support lower levels as long as they're active.

    Etherblade and Twilight Temple are on PST. Tideswell is EST. And Dawnglory is the designated EU server.​​

    I would disagree, the amount of coin/gold/money required to outfit an aps toon to farm tt/lunar solo used to be in the 500m~800m range, probably closer to 1b now due to gold prices required for r8.

    You could get a herc for 100~300m, get the skills for it and buff it up and solo the above instances yourself. A sin might take 40~60 minutes to solo 3-3, a veno might take 30~100 minutes. Depending on how well refined your gear and herc is.

    Full warsong - just need enough gear to solo your pav, rest is farming with a squad so don't need OP gear there.

    If going the aps route to farm things, str-aps barb, bm give more survivability for similar costs.

    To OP: All classes once they reach endgame gear can solo any instance, some just have a lower cost, others have a faster time, at the end of the day if you are going to be stuck playing one character for 1~5 hours a day, might as well pick one that you like. Cost to making them endgame differs slightly and the road leading to it is painful, but can be done.

    There are quite a few things now in pwi that you can get for free if you do daily quests and spend time on them. If you are unsure about classes, read up on them using the pwi wiki, and http://ecatomb.gdevtalk.net/pwi.ecatomb.net/skill.html. Try out each class until lvl 20~50. See which one you like and stick with that one. You can create 8 classes on one account, and it takes 3 days i believe to delete an account (you can stop the delete process at any time during those 3 days).

    Best advice i get for games, try it out, read up on it, ask questions, play more. If you like it, stick with it, if not ditch it.​​

    Where are you getting a herc for 300m, let alone 100m? They've stopped putting tickets in packs and even if they are 50% off you'd need a gold price of only 2.66m to get one for 300m. Even if you get one for 500m it's not really going to be any cheaper than an aps bm/barb by the time you equip the veno. Might still be cheaper than a farming sin/db but I suspect not by much.
