Impressive performance by Aran as well (almost a deathless run). I wonder how long it will take for our Maplers to kill Lotus in Reboot as well.

@piana: Indeed, loners can still play Reboot just fine. However, it is much harder since you can't simply solo CRA bosses in one character and use it to equip your whole account. Sure, I suppose you can have guildies carry you to Hard Hilla for the pet and Empress for a head start, but either way there is a lot more incentive to join a Guild and do thing in a party than outside of Reboot.

Besides, Reboot incentivizing party play is a side effect, not really the purpose of the server nor the only reason play the server.

@imwanda: Well noticed. Does GMS Reboot still has nebulites? Either way, it should make GMS's Reboot significantly harder than KMS's (which I'd say is very nice). The Lotus kill is still rather impressive nevertheless.

@miauri: Normal Hilla has a VERY small drop rate for her box, which can give you a pet or the pet equip, so the odds of actually getting a pet is pretty bad, unless Reboot super-buffed the drop rate (either way, it could take weeks before someone finally gets a pet from Hilla). So Hilla is hardly a solution for Reboot's (and Maplestory, overall) pet problem.

@thallforms: if u had that much money assuming you are making them all by urself, then u would realize the opportunity cost of time is so damn high, unless ur work rate is merely minimum wage.

@kiritosao Except I don't use nx ever to buy upgrades, only perm nx and pets/ salon stuff.

KMS has flames of reincarnation, GMS does not.

@minchuzuk3: The point of Reboot is you play and earn your own OP things to beat stuff up. You don't pay (like you do) to buy OP things to beat stuff up.

@thatallforms Did you not just read when I said "without money".

@minchuzuk3: I have money. I can just create a new account right now and level up normally up to 160 which is going to take me a day. Throw money at my screen to get overpowered gear and be done with it in under a week.

In reboot, I HAVE MONEY. I create a new account and level up normally to 160 which is going to take me a day. I then need to have overpowered gear. I try to throw money at my screen but only a pet came from it. I wonder to myself, how can I get these godly gear quickly? I need to work for my own stuff. I am lazy since I've always done it the "throw money at screen while screaming" way. Now I need 12 million mesos per cubes and I need like 40-200 cubes per items to make them perfect!!!

Please tell me how hard that is compared to the "throw money at screen while screaming" way.

Reboot is easier in the sense of not paying nx ever compared to the main servers. You can achieve everything in the main servers without paying and with the majority of Reboot's bonus' its a lot easier for reboot players.

I'm really impressed that it only took them 6 months to reach that level. The fact that the Dawn Warrior even had a Ryude's is even more impressive. Must've done loads of ToZ for that.

@minchuzuk3: It probably took them thousands of hours of farming and grinding to reach that point, they didn't just play for like 2 hours a day and clear lotus in 6 months.

@syncrinity I'm comparing how easy it is for people to get to kill lotus without even using money in reboot to normal.

@minchuzuk3: I don't think it's harder by any means. There are plenty of ways that normal players can get mesos in the normal servers. It's damn easy if you know what to look for.

@thallforms Except this just shows that normal servers are actually harder than reboot servers for people that don't spend money lol, and yet a lot of players wanted a more challenging experience.

Honestly I wanted to move to reboot so I could actually respect people when they do well/ have good equips. Even something as simple as meso sacks and I would have just assumed "Well they probably just bought their way there" now I respect them.

@piana: I don't think people wanted to play reboot to get away from the "soloers", the main appeal of reboot is that you have to work hard for everything, and EVERYONE has to as well.

@masterobert: It's actually better to only have to spend 6-7$ per 3 months and having a bunch of stuff that isn't so hard to obtain instead of needing to pay literally 1000s of dollars on cubes to reach the same point.,

It's funny, and I can see this coming. Those who complain that the normal servers are pay to win will complain that those who grind it out (just like in the normal servers) somehow paid to win to get there, and it will all start with the pets.
