Thinking of Changing Servers

[Hafheim]

I have played on a different server on and off for about 3 years, always on a 5/5/3 server.  While I love playing, The population has dropped to between 10 and 50 players at non-woe times.  I'm looking for a new server.  I did however have a few questions:

In my other server, to be a top player, you must have "donates" which are 3 equips that fill your headgear slots.  I am not able to donate, however, there is a way to sell the points you get for donating to other players in exchange for zeny.  Does ArimusRO have a similar system of moving donate points from one account to another? Also, with donating, you can get cards?  Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of a low-rate server?

How active is this server for non-woe times?  I've never been much of a PvP or WoE-er, prefering MvPs and partying for PvM.  Is there anyone on this server that does that?  Or is it mainly a PvP server?

Thanks for your time!

300 players during non-WoE times?  But like a good number of those are vendors and duals, so maybe 1/2 real players?

This server has a similar system where you can buy/sell the "donation points" or Ads, but the only way to sell/buy them is via the main site, so have to be carefull who you trade with.

Also can't mention other server names in this server.

Not sure about other servers though, but to be the "top player" of the server, you just need skills.
However, to be "top geared", we do have super quest items (sqis) which are obtained via the quest or sellers only.
Also, every item in our Ad shop can be obtained ingame (with the exception of Kaho horns/Pussy Cat Bells/some lower headgears as far as I'm aware).
Although mvp cards can also be bought from Ad shop, there are a few that is currently drop-only.

In terms of pvm/pvp, I've noticed that it's about 70% of the active players are pvm, and 30% in pvp when I'm online.

Yeah, hardly anyone pvps, as it is just full of ego heads who assume pvp status = real life success. Ive donated a grand total of 49 dollars, and that bought aphree card for a friend, and a few other things. You don't need to donate to become good. Hard work and dedication do that just fine.

Agreed. Party with other ppl to MVP, Quests and share the spoils ( if you get a good drop ) and sell them.
