Rate Tiers Explained
Low Rate (x1 - x3)
Close to the official experience. Best for hardcore players who enjoy the grind and want an authentic, immersive journey. Progression is slow and rewarding, and the economy tends to be more stable and meaningful.
Mid Rate (x5 - x50)
Balanced gameplay that speeds up progression without skipping the core experience. This is the most popular choice for most players, offering a good mix of leveling, gearing, and endgame content in a reasonable timeframe.
High Rate (x100+)
Fast-paced progression that lets you reach endgame almost immediately. Great for PvP-focused servers, testing builds, or players with limited time. The emphasis shifts from leveling to competitive gameplay and endgame activities.
How to Choose the Right Rate
- 1Consider your available time. If you can only play a few hours a week, higher rates will let you experience more of the game. If you play daily, lower rates provide a longer-lasting experience.
- 2Think about your goals. Want to PvP at endgame? High rates get you there fast. Want to experience the full story and progression? Low rates are the way to go.
- 3Check the server community. Higher rate servers tend to have faster turnover. Lower rate servers often build stronger, more dedicated communities.
- 4Try different rates. There is no single "best" rate. Many players try servers at different rates before settling on their preference.
