Hmm... I'm also playing this game. It's quite enjoyable in certain ways though. Of course what captures me is always the cute characters that these online games have. I was playing RO private server in the past, but ever since that server had problems, I never went back.

Making money is never easy in the game, unless you have guidance from high level players who are willing to help you. I personally have spent about RM100 in this game, and I'd say it's worth it when I managed to get hold of some good heroes and met several nice people worth befriending.

I agree that sometimes pay 2 play games do take away the mood to play, but that is for those who really wanna be top notch players in a very short period of time. If you take time to enjoy the game, especially the quests, you'll find the game pretty interesting, rather than a boring hack n slash games like most MMORPG. Give the game a try before giving up on it.... your personal view of the game makes a lot of difference than just listening to ppl who din do well in the game. And oh... there are hardly bots for this game, which also ticks of many players who tend to use bots to level their characters... heheheh....
