Is it woth for an European to play on the Reboot server on NA?
I have only played this game for a short while a long time ago and I don't remember anything really,and the single difference that I feel is the fact that meso drops in larger numbers(Played for 3 hours on a character in the European server).Is it really worth going through the latency issues?I have heard dozens of people saying that I shouldn't play anything but reboot but I really want someone to extend on that,I want actual reasons for that.If anyone could enlighten me I'd be grateful.

GMS has always been famed for the over exploitation of NX stuff from the cash shop, giving players advantages over people that don't spend money on the game, or just general "scamming" by allowing people to buy temporary NX armor skins. The Reboot world takes care of that, for the most part, by getting rid of almost all of the NX cash parts of the cash shop. You can still buy things from the cash shop, but instead of with real money, the items cost mesos.

For this reason, and for the fact that monsters in Reboot are supposed to have "greater HP, but also more EXP," people tend to main Reboot over all other servers. If I were you and really wanted to play NA Reboot, I'd only do it if my character had a pet. I can handle the skill lag, but I don't want to spend ages trying to pick up everything. Pets now automatically pick up mesos and items; you don't need to buy mesos magnet and item pouch since a pet comes with it now.

Is it hard to get a pet though?

pets are in the cash shop for 5$ each,at least in USD but they last 90 days so 20$ a year pretty much.

Do I need to buy them by adding money to nexon or will it take money from my steam wallet?

It'll take money from your steam wallet, just open the cash shop next time you're ingame and click charge, the overlay will pop up and you can make a purchase via there, if you don't have the $$$ needed it will redirect you to adding funds to your steam wallet, everything about the steam version is done over steam.

Also the reason why monsters drop more meso is because global meso droprate is multiplied by 5x on reboot. Since the game is run off of meso there needs to be more of it, and the fact that trading is disabled you'd need some way to fund yourself.

That's nice to hear,I'll probably buy a pet if I will still have enough money after buying some games from the winter sale

Will trading ever get enabled though?

No, Trading will never be enabled, it was disabled the same time the server went live, trading has NEVER been a feature in Reboot, and never will be. Everything you do in reboot you do yourself. You can go bossing and do pqs, but gear and whatnot is all obtained yourself.
That's nice to hear.Is there any way that you can give items to one of your characters to another?If there isn't i'm just going to start playing it more often and more seriously.I have never been good at mmo's and I just hate to see high level people giving god tier items/a lot of money to their other characters from the get go.That just makes me feel even more horrible at the game than I already am.

No, It won't ever get re-enabled, Reboot is all about self-progression. It's to stop people buying nx codes, selling for meso and gearing their characters up. That's not what Reboot was intended to be, so it won't get re-enabled. You can't even trade between characters. I can't stress this point enough that Reboot is for selfprogression, do it your self kind of thing.

I deleted that message ._. t-that's not what I meant to say

I'm settled then thanks for answering my questions.
