Is this intentionally gone or just a bug? I don't see the NPC anymore with the expansion. I know some people raged about this and say it messes things up - we know your opinions, not seeking them here, please. This is an issue of a significant (for some people) change in the game that is unannounced and unexpected and, somehow no surprise, not included in the patch notes that I can tell.
Would appreciate knowing if this was intentional or not. Thanks.

Personally I would take other actions but since I'm no employee idgaf about this 'too easy' solution.
Basically though, the CN version of the game hasn't had the Jolly Old Jones NPC for quite some time and I guess they wanted to remove it from our version too. Kalyst did talk about wanting to replace him with a better option but it seems that it couldn't be accomplished before her departure.
Of course, it could still be just a bug until a staff member can confirm for us.

This. If this is permanent and intentional, i'm afraid it's the last straw for me. Hate to say that because i've really enjoyed and still enjoy this game, but I can't justify continuing when there's no way to get toons started and geared without CS'g. Hoping it's just a glitch, but not holding my breath.
In the past I do charge, but right now I am still observing the game and thinking if it's still "WORTH" to charge. And this could be the last straw. Why? Well, admit it or not, for us newbies or starting over again, the non-cash shoppers are the players who are willing to help. Try asking those end game r999 or G17 ones, Good luck. Anecdotal experience, but, I solidified it with the experience of others whom I chatted with.
So it's pure real cash now? My pocket says NO WAY! I would rather use the cash to some games (offline/steam) where I could enjoy permanently. I know running the servers needs money that's why as I said before, I do charge depending on how much I played in it. I do know my math, and I somewhat can extrapolate how much is needed to run the servers (I do work in the same field, btw, though not game servers).
I just want to enjoy and reminisce the past of doing PVE, so I (we) may look stupid leveling up little by little needing using coins from Jolly Jones and was thinking to CS for the first fashion (lol) could prematurely end the adventure again. Yeah, thanks to all those coming from other closed PW servers out there who helped me.

Kindness should be like a water balloon, go throw it at someone!!!!
> Honestly, you all need to shut it about JoJ, he ain't the only way to make coin, and if he was removed it isn't going to drive me off.
Like what? I am all ears. If it's doable then all hats goes to you. I'm level 63 by the way.

I'm sorry, but I gotta share my 2 cents on this one
In nine years, I've touched JoJ only once, then deemed it boring and tedious. So I dropped it and I've never had problems of money until I hit level 100, where BH money started to come in. Yes, even with a recent toon I had no money issues.
As for repairs fees during lower levels, I did fine on quest coins and from stuff I sold (either to catshops or to NPCs) alone. Even on melee classes, where the damage gained from battle is generally more extensive than arcane classes.
I would understand the problem with skills, if they hadn't took the coin cost away in one of the previous updates/expansions. (you still pay for the sage/demon versions, but hey, that's advanced stuff if you are below level 89/99 depending on the skill and culti level)
Pots? Lived off the stuff dropped by mobs/boss/codes/login rewards.
Refines? Never refined gear/weapon that was below g16. Even the g15 was left without refines. And lived ok through the instances.
Shards? slapped on stuff from the rewards gotten by hitting certain levels. Again, lived fine with them.
And once you hit level 100? do bh daily and let the better geared people tank the boss while you do damage and try to survive. You will occasionally get money reward to improve your toon. Which will take time, like everything else in the world.
I'm sure that any other problem you think you have can be solved if only you stop focusing solely on what you think was the only way to gain ingame money.
Thanks, good new for me, at least.
As I noted, this was just a question to see if we knew if this was intentional or not. Not intended as yet another debate over the merits of jolly old jones. thanks to those who tried to help.
@heero200 you can close this, thx.
