Although I'd like to say it's just poor timing (that's probably some of the blame since there's probably at least some people still working there) it's most likely that Shinoda's slowly dying due to a lack of new influx grinders/leechers in that area as they have all moved to kaga probably and there are few to no players that will replace them since CyberStep chased off basically most of the newer playerbase.

Edit: oup, there goes CyberStep's forum time traveling magic again.

Alright so after I made my first user and he reached lvl 79 I thought I'd make a new one C: So as I said I made a new one and eventually reached Shinoda Forest in Kyoto.. It isn't what it used to be.. Now those in their 40's/50's is leeching at Secluded Forest and I feel like Shinoda is dead (Or is it just me?) In my opinion it is like really hard to get a team there. My new man went supportive to support those who could carry, but I kind of got stuck in Kyoto. So I was wondering if this is just me or? Am I playing at the wrong times? Or is Shinoda slowly dying?
Sincerely the sad supporter QQ

i believe so, before, it usually take 5-10 mins to find a party........and now it takes like 20-40 mins.
why....

Thanks for the replies C: I'll try to stay up late today and see how it'll go C: Though it would still suck if it's the wrong time I am there because of irl stuff. :,C ...

The way the game and XP mechanics go, this game has unhealthy system.

The way the skills work right now and skills are acquired are meh.

And nothing is in the game besides grinding, grinding, grinding, and leveling up and again dungeon. For hardcore and grinders this game is a total heaven.

1st rate spearman, swordman and bowman/archer will stand on the top of the food chain.

2nd rate citizen would be magician and support. Lower level mage and support would just be disappear.

When PVP will be available, staff and wand users would be the lowest class IF on the same footing, without any intrics (I can guarantee that).

The highest level will help lower level only to gain money to enhance their equipments more (get all main and support weapons to+100), crafting/finding the best magatamas, clearing dungeons, and collecting dropboxes.

When all the higher levels are already bored with the game, they will leave and only log in once in a while

Most support would be VIT/MIND or POW/MIND or DEX/MIND. The true support (MIND) will disappear along with the resurrection.

The rest that come to this game will be the occasional highest/higher level player, and some/few casual player that has gained some levels, and very few lower levels.

Notes : Kinshiden and Byakkou will still flourish since higher level needs the drops (magatama ingredients and some rare ingredients).

Once all the community dies out, the server will close down along with community. Or becomes ghost towns.

To be completely honest, I feel like solo hell Yakumo is a much better grind spot for all non-supports, and is about the same difficulty for the average level 35.


@ Lynneth

True support does and cannot exist at higher levels. You will max out your mind in your 70's, forcing you to spec into a secondary stat. By Level 10x, you should be able to max out the second stat completely, then forcing you to spec into a third..

No matter what you do, you will always have the capacity to be something other than just a "true support"
