Reporter:" Have you stolen any capes or wings , recently, from people who might me guild master?" 
Snook :" Oh yes, when i learned the acc and pass of BeBe , my *** instincts kicked it, and i couldn't resist playing some dirty gypsy tricks during castle siege, and i decided to "borrow" the set and cape from OneStepy former guild master, just so my fellow gypsys at HardcockCore could have a victory "

Regarding this Database on Phoenix, i'd like to bring to the table what i've seen and what my thoughts are:
1.I think there is a slim problem that you might want to take into consideration regarding PVP pace/ early/mid/late game. I think the ups and downs of the characters come too abbruptly.
2. I think you missthought the fast pace ability of some "really into it" players to gear up characters. They really gear themselves pretty fast, and in terms of items they are pretty much End-Game or close to being End-Game but regarding the LVL/RR/MLVL ratio, RANK1 is barely past 50% (6rr 100mlvl) and 98% of the server isn't even at 50% in terms of lvl/rr/mlvl ratio.
I think we really skipped the entire mid-game aspect because taking so long to lvlup/mlvl and goldens/bosses being doable at 2-3-5 rrs with some minimum mlvl and decent items made this gap where most of us have very good items, but nothing really worth doing besides pushing RRs and MLVLs. (Maybe if the Goldens were really hard to do? Even +3/+4 to be good with this kind of really low xp? Then people wouldn't be stuck to only lvling, or just make xp Higher)
3. I feel like some characters have been a little bit too underpowered and took quite a long time for them to be buffed like AE(which i still think it's trash, nowhere near Rank1 PVM that she should be given the fact that she's absolutelly outrageous in pvp) or SM. At least SM's manashield with the lacks of EE was necessary for a party, but the AE was really just a downside, so a faster response could've helped there.
4. I think you should also reconsider the "don't make changes during an edition" mentality, it's fine if u test it, and think that they need a bit of a buff/nerf (like ARF last edition nerf, like AE buff this edition).
I think the server overall is pretty interesting and well made so congratulations. It is just that i feel we achieved a PEAK in this moment, that is not worth doing anything just rr to easier MLVL cause in NonRR server usually MLVL has a huge impact in both PVM or PVP.
I don't know if u ever plan on releasing a new NON RR version, but i hope these things will help you in your future endeavours. Good luck!
 
P.S. I Also think that in this moment is also a problem that most people are under 50% in terms of exp (under 5rr 100 mlvl) and pretty amazingly geared, cause it's destabilizing the PVP,  hard to kill people 1v1, sometimes impossible if you are not using scrolls+demon.
P.S.2. From my experience with nonRR server we used to use Demons in pvp, but here, they die in 3 hits so that is out of the question.
 
EDIT: I think naming it NON-RR when you are kinda forced to RR (having 0rr 25mlvl would of gotten you competitive for maybe 1month) it's also not really a god idea. Name it 10RR xD

1. The currency is based on jwls and or Credits (which you can get from donations or from other players via market)
2. BK/RF/Summ looks like the strongest in PVP in this stage of the game.
3. Elf is not good, at least not PVP, is decent in PVM but not great.
 

Yeah, but that's exactly what I was alluding to. You can't really do much about people having real life issues and leaving the game(granted, I think mu might be the single easiest game to play while having a busy RL). But you can introduce some fresh new events to keep people actually interested in playing.

I didn't want to say that it's unballanced, this is how mu is, it's unballanced in some aspects, most games are. (that's what i was trying to say about vrf/bk)
The point i want to make is that it's not 100% percent related to the server that people chose to leave, some did, but not all, and definetely not most did because of the server, it's because of 3rd party related things, like work, lack of time, simple too worked up (because some people really played 10 hours a day for 3 months and that's hard)
Though looking through archives, on the forum, i've seen some really entertaining events for example:
-Pvp arena tournament
-There was a boss, that spawn and people could use a command to instant become lv 400 when they reseted, and everyone could participate in that boss fight, and after it ended everything came to normal.
Those are 2 interesting things, that i wish i see here, but dunno.
They said they'll bring pvp arena and it's been 90 days and i haven't seen it yet xD
 
So, in my opinion, it s 50/50 why people leave.
 
P.S. PVP ballancing in mu will never exist to 100% extent, it s how the game it's designed.
Out of all the private servers i think this is one of the most ballanced in terms in pvp/pve (look at Webzen, they have utterly unbalanced pvp)

Agreed with @batanete, Season6 is the best. Mark my words, if you introduce Elemental dmg you will brake the game, that shit is unbalanced and broke GMO since it's release, not even mentioning rng and insanely expensive Pentagram socketing. I would say just add new zones and events without Elemental dmg mechanic and without Bloodangel ancient sets (as they require 1-2 year grind to complete and make all other ancient sets useless). Overall progression and balance on this server is better than any other server and my only wish is offatack for 24h.

Right tree attack rate - PVP
Middle attack rate - PVM

AE beat the DL in Golden?
I guess it says "ADMIN" and i have to buy that... cause i've tested it myself, exactly dl vs elf, items and everything. 2 Persons, 5 rows of goldens, he beat me every time, on the golden. Around same items/sets and he beat me 5 out of 5. Nvm, the pvm buff it s well received, thank you sir.
 
Elves have 300 useless energy points, and have to potentially waste 20 MLVLs due to maybe one day, having to play EEbuff at CS. I don't get it, you removed EE buf from live, but someone still needs to either "create an alt elf" or just waste 20MLVL on buffs if it's main like i am. I do not understand this at all.
P.S. Sorry, but i really wanted to play AE but there elves number is so low
