Shortly after I joined CCO, the charms got bugged and that led to a beatdown of PvE and it totally threw off PvP, but it definitely made it more fun. Being able to log in on my archer at level 85 and level to 90 in an hour is alot of fun. It allows the casual gamer to play and keep up with guildies. As far as them breaking PvP, perhaps entering Bera (where Guild Wars tend to take place) or a battle zone would remove them.
Currently, the economy is nonexistant. Because of how much money the materials for production skills cost it tends not to be worth training them (bear in mind I have max Stones and Scrolls) and even when you do the price a profit requires kinda pushes people away from wanting to buy them. I had originally read that the economy here was to be based off of helgaits, with them only NPCing for 500s a piece and being in such high demand adding a Gem bar will raise the price of helgaits to max money, 999gem as getting it will be easy. It will also allow all 10xs to have near infinte money and access to all of the Costumes they could ever want.
I like the current selection of costumes, but I feel as though 7 days is not long enough to have to cough up 15g. I would prefer them either 30 days or permanent. The addition of an Iron Case would be excellent, at 10x your inventory fills at LEAST 2~3 times per level, and all of the running gets annoying. More mounts would also be a great addition, raccoons are nice but having more, faster options would be nice.
Last time I heard, the server currently goes up to level 135. Nobody has ever reached that level, and for a great reason; it takes WAY too long. 200 billion EXP is alot, even at 12x. I'm not saying before that is slow, I think it's just about perfect, but maybe increasing the EXP per mob could be raised for higher level mobs. Right now, from what I see, the level cap is unofficially 120. That's right where hellgaits get outdamaged by Blue VDay weapons as well.
As far as enhancing goes I think T1~3 should be increased to 100% from 97. I have broken at LEAST 10 items going for +9. And with the poor economy, that runs up a bill. T4 and 5 don't have to be 100%, but they need to be higher than 80. I would love to +9 my HG bow, but I don't think 80 is enough of a safety net. Perhaps adding in Perfect Red eyes or 15% Gold Miles for in-game gold from Pey could happen. A stack of those could go 25g+ because of the high level requirement and the fact that you are pretty much guaranteed a +9 level 9x+ weapon. Recipes for T5 production skills should also be introduced. Lastly, there is no T2 Speed Scroll Production Learn Scroll.
During the two week maintainance I may decide to check out Koushin, but I will probably be back as this was my first pserver. I would also love to try for a CL position. Remember its all about having fun, it should be a challenge (mainly PvP imo) but it should be possible to a casual gamer.
