I appreciate the feedback guys. From what I'm seeing I am going to enjoy being on EE Vendetta for a while :3

[So a few things..... (New Player Kinda)]

I dropped the game on Aeria Games around like 2017? I've always loved the game.
I've always seen people talk about this private server version and I've always wanted to try it, but never got the chance.
So just a few things:
- How user friendly is the grind?
- Is it somewhat active or is it like "everyone is moreso at the end-game" type active?
- Is cash shop more "pay to progress faster" or "strictly cosmetic"? (Cause I assume private servers remove p2w aspects)
- If I did tend to stay around and reach end-game (which I never really did lets be real lol), how tedious is it or is it mainly just a time thing?
- Also any pros and cons I should be knowledgable about?
