Greetings, I am new and should this game prove to be as good as it seems it might be, I may bring about 30 people (my guild) over from another game to play it. I have a few questions, however, about the over-all quality of the administration, game masters, and community.

On average, what is the response time from administration and/or game masters to in game problems support or otherwise?

Do you consider that the administration and game masters for this game are both effective in communicating (adequate English speaking ability), and behave in a polite and mature manner at all times?

How effective are administrators and game masters at enforcing the rules of the game? I have played one too many games with plenty of rules, but little to no enforcement of them.

This next question is mainly for a personal preference- I am an adult who still enjoys gaming, as are all of the members of the guild I would possibly be bringing over. No member is any less then 20 years of age, and all are polite, helpful, and mature if a bit quirky on occasion. I would like to find them a nice gaming home where there are other polite, mature, and helpful players.

Is there any server with more English speakers, people who follow the rules, and are generally more helpful mature and polite then any other server? It is not likely, but I thought I might still ask. I have found one game where there was such a server. I really hate world chats littered with arguments, conversations in a language I don't understand, or blatant community rule violations.

Thank you for taking to time to read this, and also many thanks in advance to anyone who replies earnestly.

This is your first F2P game? Short, don't expect anything from GMs, except maybe getting banned for something you didn't even know was wrong (there's some discussion about an age old trap set by the GMs --- Venomancers have a feature that allows them to pull individual monsters out of a group, but apparently there is one monster where they defined that you're not allowed to do that, but they didn't put a warning into the game or anywhere else for people to find. So you might end up playing the game as usual, fall into the trap, and that's it. Next game. Hasn't happened to me...yet... but I can't check every monster name against some forum threads or I would never get anywhere ).

I don't have experience with other servers, just the one I'm on. Since the world chat is a cash shop feature, there isn't too many annoyances going on. GMs sometimes post garbage that you can't block, like this other guy doing a "trivia" game that was cluttering the chat window, but other than that, once you're out of town there isn't a lot of chat going on anyway. And you can put individual chats into separate windows (although I don't think you can window the party chat... but that one isn't particulary comfortable anyway, so I usually end up using normal char features instead).

No

I have played about 5 or 6 other free to play games, and am currently working on building a Private server of a certain game. There is one F2P game I have found so far that is fairly good, though I am still in the process of testing it out. Even with that one there are some small issues for me (no ip bans and some tedious facets to game play).

The kind of problems you are mentioning are the kinds of reasons I ask up front about the administration and GMs. All free to play games will have some of these problems, but some are much worse then others, have seen GMs cursing out players and using their abilities to PK just because they could on some games. I just need a gradient to determine where this game falls in relation to the others. If service is terrible, or illiterate and rude I will just refrain from playing.

Thanks for the quick response.
