Hey guys. I've gone under a lot of names before but my 2 mains I'll mention here.
First name: **Indeceseant** in NosUK. Played the beta in 2006 all the way to release of NosGlobal. Then played that with the same name until it shutdown.
Went back to UK. Played for another year. Then quit.
Came back 2 years later to UK as: **Cursewords**.
Played to 88 with Mage.
Then played to 50 with an Archer before I got bored and quit again.
Now I'm starting fresh again. From scratch. No drop trading items or anything. I'm going to play with my girlfriend. 2 Archers straight to the top as quickly as we can. Guess I can't quit this game for good yet, especially because after showing it to my girlfriend she wanted to jump on it immediately.
I doubt anyone from the first years of NostaleUK or NostaleGlobal is around in VGN. Most of the people I knew had kids or just quit to play newer games or just never logged in again.
Actually got the idea to play when I saw people uploading a pretty steady stream of Youtube videos for the game. Then remembered I had my own vids. Showed my gf and she was like "How fast you think we can roll through it?"
I was the owner of all of the English "Meet the 'x' Specialist" guides on Youtube until I deleted my Google account and removed all the videos with them. I could have saved them I guess but I figured now I'll actually make them again and do them even better. Inspired a lot of copycats though that did videos in their own language.
I'll be making English guide videos again on Youtube and trying to bring more English content to this game when I get a higher level with my girlfriend. We're going through the content now and having a blast.
The thing is, we started on NostaleUK via steam (on the US server). But then I met someone that said that this server exists.
In the official version I was really happy to see the 100% EXP buff which is freaking amazing. I always said that was the only thing this game was missing, it was a bit *too* much of a grind. Both of us got to level 35 in a day, it's great. Also love the minor quality of life improvements. Movable UI, faster passive health and mana regen and whilst sitting/resting. Also slightly more logical translations/dialogue (still pretty bad though).
So cool to see this game still going. Looks like it might be the best time ever to play. Still lots of players, hopefully farming spots aren't overcrowded. Can't wait to get Wildkeeper and go for LoD Runs again

Some questions though:
* What's the EXP rate exactly on VGN?
* How many players are online at any one time?
* What's the latest version of the game you guys have? How far behind the original servers are you guys?
* What about cash shop items? How do you get those in VGN Nostale?
* Could someone explain to me this (99+50) level system now? We never had this years ago.
* Also would like to know about this Martial Artist thing. How does that tie into the game?
* How are bots in VGN Nostale? I saw you guys are doing a lot to try and remove them but I know how hard it can be...
Thanks folks!
