I tried logging in last night and couldn't, but it works fine now.
It turns out I already had a character made, with some newbie gear. I got a mid weapon and some enchants...but the normal farm mobs drop way too few silver coins, it takes hours to farm full mid gear. And the high farm mobs deal tons of dmg, I died in like 5 hits. Also after killing a "crappyboss" there's this annoying captcha that pops up....nobody would need to use a bot to kill them anyway.
The instant noblesse is in vote shop...kinda questionable decision.
There are other ways to extend the players commitment time to the server, other than ridiculously low drops in low tier areas (considering shop prices), and impossible to kill mobs in high tier farm areas.
My advice: increase drop rate in low tier farm areas (the most important one). If high tier farm mobs are killable with mid gear, that should solve it (if not, you might want to decrease their stats a bit). Also for the love of baby jesus, remove that captcha...at least on "crappybosses"!
