I played one for a short while. It was fun.. ish. It got boring, though. But, a few good points about it:
-I was able to try out classes that I haven't tried in GMS, got them to 4th job, and realize that I really didn't enjoy them all THAT much. As much as I had hoped for, which thankfully stopped me from leveling up another character up there only to find out that I didn't care for it as much as another class, or more.
-Mass scrolling. Being a poor S.O.B. in GMS, I was able to buy any scroll, and just get all that scrolling frustration and curiosity out of my system. It was like a virtual stress ball. I could blow up anything I wanted, white scroll anything I wanted, and scroll my warrior items with int, just to get it out of my system.
-Bossing with no worries. Even before I got to the "ridiculous" point in that server, I would take on bosses that I normally would be scared to (to lose exp) or just for the hell of it because I could finally do so (Showa bosses, zak, etc.). And even when it got to the ridiculous part, it was fun to say to myself "Man, I just killed _____ in 5 hits, when it would take me 5 hours in GMS" just to, ya know?
As for negative points... I can't really think of any. The only ones I could see would be:
-Downloading an extra full version of Maple, which takes like, 8 hours on my connection. >_<
-The one I played had a few glitched skills, the one that irked me the most was that divine charge showed damage, but didn't deal the shown damage to a mob. As well as me contacting GMs about it on a number of occasions, and them being apathetic about the whole situation.
I mean, other than that, it was a great experience. I was able to walk away from it with the realization that the class that I stuck with for so long, was the only job that I liked the most. =x
