There are some things that Kevin HASNT mentioned about HT, making it infinitely less attractive than the way he puts it.
1. Think of how many HT groups there are in your server. Then think of how many people go on them. The number of people able to HT are drastically higher than the people who actually go HT. Supposing there are two groups, who go with max people, that's only 60 HTers per server. Also, this is assuming they go at a time you're available to go with them at.
2. Horntail isnt as cheap as Kevin makes it. If you make a bowmaster or night lord, you almost certainly have to HP wash, which will cost you hundreds of dollars worth in nx. Servers are filled with bishops as it is, so good luck with that. This leaves melee characters, mostly heroes and drks (with no insult to paladins). Just remember that whatever class you make, you'll have to spend a decent amount on skills to be truly useful at HT.
Sure, horntail is good money...but there are tonnes of variables to consider. While you dont need a shop, you need to spend at least <some> funding into your char (skillbooks, hp washing, etc) to be able to do it for the most part. Personally, in terms of advice to make money, I'd say hunting for chaos scrolls is worth a try (zombie mushrooms, then drum bunnies). Area bosses are good money too, especially if you can get multiple tracks. In one day that I held tracks of 80 tracks at once, I made I think 300ish mill in a day or so. Of course, finding scrolls requires some degree of luck, but its definitely worth it till you're within range to HT.
Ps. Sucking up definitely gets you into communities. I've seen it happen all too much. All you gotta do is be nice to people, care about how they're doing and keep complimenting them about how pro they are. That certainly seems to work in Scania anyways.
