I think it's high time something was said about this.
FlyFF is beyond a joke now. It used to be a cool game that was friendly and fun to play.
I've been a player for as long as it's been on Gpotato, and since Chris left and feeLz become the big cheese GM, FlyFF has turned to shit.
The servers are CONSTANTLY down, the game is FULL of server related glitches, and after two 24+ hour emergency maintenances this week, nothing is fixed. Not ONE goddamn thing!! Most glitches STILL present months ago are STILL at large, and causing many players a lot of problems and grief....
BUT, the problems do not end here, no siree!
feeLz, the supposed GM left in charge of everything, is a complete, total ASS! He's an asshole.
I've seen many newbies harassed or ignored by him when they contact him for innocent help requests, such as where to find public offices and stuff like that. Even I, a lvl 62 elementer, get quite a handful from this guy, and to make it worse, he's the only active GM, so whatever he says goes. Chris was kind and helpful, although occasionally annoying. He needs to return to see what kind of ass he's left us with. I forgot to mention that feeLz also helps elite players and guilds cheat by giving them premium items for free and adjusting their guild status manually, not to mention he also invites people not officially employed by Gpotato to be GMs. How the hell Gpotato and Aeonsoft cannot see all this, I have no clue. Probably because Aeonsoft are Korean and Gpotato don't care.
To top it all off, I complained about this same thing on the official FlyFF site, but the thread lasted a mere 10 minutes before it got deleted, despite that I never broke any rules and even refrained from swearing. FlyFF staff are asses who suck up to the GM's unacceptable behaviour and incompetance, and cannot handle the truth.
Gpotato also clearly barely ever report problems to Aeonsoft, or I'm confident most of them would've been fixed somewhere in the entire year FlyFF has been running.
To put it short, unless you have a LOT of patience and love for FlyFF, don't frustrate yourself by continuing FlyFF. That is my advice.
In closing, I'm looking for an alternative MMORPG. Can anyone suggest anything? And feel free to comment on anything said here!

feeLz and Chris seemed to know each other personally, but while Chris was nice, feeLz was an ass!
I failed to mention in the first post that since the game's opening a year ago, the experience rate for monsters you slay has been dropped drastically. I've been lvl 62 for a while now, so I know it has nothing to do with my level. You can level up at a fair rate for the first 25-30 levels, but after that you'll find a monster of your level gives you only between 0.01% - 0.08% experience. I and many others have concluded that Gpotato seem to have done this on purpose to coerce people into buying premium items, because while the game appeals to many, not many bought premium items at all in the past. Now they've entirely rigged the game so that only premium shop customers can thrive.
If you think this corruption ends at the GMs, think again. Elite Players used to charge 60M or sometimes even lower, to sell their pet to you. Price gouging is now everywhere in the world of FlyFF and pets now fetch prices of 150M penya or more each. Think you can trade your perfectly good spy set for another set that is SUPPOSED to be equal value? No! People will now ask for an extra 10M on top of your set, for their set. The greed doesn't end on FlyFF.
If you're looking for a good "FREE-TO-PLAY" game, this is NOT for you. It's hardly free at all.

The site itself is badly written and managed. Constant cookie conflicts cause some accounts not to remember the login, the top 10 levels board has NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR 11 MONTHS!!! Eouen has not played for 8 months now, and it still says he's lvl 101, but I've seen higher lvl people in game, such as Zeus and ShortYellowBus (both players had GM help with cheating of course).
The forums give you an error and EVEN a link to debug mode (which ONLY forum admins should be able to access) when you try to post something sometimes.
These problems have been around FOREVER and noone has bothered to do a thing about them.
As I stated in my beginning post, say one slack thing or complain on those forums and your post gets deleted immediately, you're expected to put up with their incompetence and their crap, and kiss their ass and call it a triple whip banana split.
FlyFF itself, which is made by Aeonsoft, isn't at fault at all. Everything wrong with the game is the sheer product of the corrupt and highly incompetant bastards at Gpotato.
Everybody take your Gpotatoes and make GFries, 'cause that's ALL they're good for!!
HA HA HA HA that's funny!! but that's the truth if you say anything about loseing your gpot. the delete your post if you pretty much say anything besides "flyff is cool" or "the servers are down what do i do" they delete your post. this game has the most poor customer service of any game of MMORPG BAR NONE! Until this game gets its crap together i refuse to play it (not that i can anyways)

Agreed
I have stoped playing this game for a long time, not only because I couldn't log in the game, but because they didin't care for updates at the game to make it better (they made it worse anyway) but every week or so a pet or cash shop item is made so they'll become richer. And... I have reported SO many hackers but they just didn't notice all my emails that I have been sending every day and I lost like every my penya and my time of course playing this game (that was a bit better at first before the 7version).

lol guyz i was trying to find a mmo to play, searching forums brought me here. i didnt even play this game but i m sure at this game is exactly same as Knight Online after reading a few threads.. i (yes stupid me) played addictively ko for a year and i m glad i gave it up. it was a great game for pvp i can guess flyff is also great.i m telling u stop playing games like this if u can because things wont be better as u hope. u will be dissapointed.while u work for ur lvl and gear, ppl will get them easy way by glitches or gm help or bugs or hacks whatever which is not fair.. and they say free for life, dont be tricked. ko has a status info as it is free, no its not, it has a different status actually free2play-pay2connect lol. they make u start playing free then force u to pay to go on playing.so i think this game is using the same path what ko did and u wont be happy seeing all these
hooah!
Why even bother playing a game where the game master them selves acts like ignorant asses!
Im only staying cues of my guild i made from nothing to realy bigg..!
If it wasent for them i would have left long time ago..

I agree with this thread, entirely. This game lacks the most important aspect that makes a game "fun and friendly".... CUSTOMER SERVICE. There is no such thing as "Customer Service" in Flyff. The game is entirely based on greed and the GMs only care about money. GMs do not care about the new players who are crying for help, they only help the elites.
GMs ban for everything. Including stuff you say in the forums. So I would advise you, if you do plan on continuing to play Flyff... don't post in the forums. Don't mention anything about selling characters for penya, or even the thought of wanting to sell your characters. You are allowed to mention scamming people, because GMs won't do anything about scams.
For everyone that has played Flyff and was able to afford a pet either it be with penya or gpots... you all know that pets are the most time consuming MUST when trying to level your characters. For every time you stop to pick up penya or items on the ground -- you lose time to gain experience. I played a lvl 69 ranger, and recieved only 0.04% per mobs that were my level. To get better experience, you must kill mobs that are atleast 5 lvls above you... better experience = 0.7-.09%, but I haven't mentioned the crit rates of the mobs at higher lvls and how you easily end up having to fight low level mobs for fear of losing 3% when a mob crits you to death.
Flyff is NOT a friendly environment. Everyone is out to scam each other and greed prevails. Players not only want to scam you for your penya or rare items... but also for your experience. There is a lack of respect between players in the game. Therefore, KS-ing mobs is frequent. I've noticed that "noob" has become the most overused word in Flyff. In some cases, even lower lvls call higher lvls noobs in ways to insult them. Everyone is apparently a noob.
On top of that... feelZ is an a$$hole... the so-called higher up GM. While it is alright for the mod GMs to be inadequate, I find it ridiculously amusing how the most inadequate GM is the one who hovers over the rest.
They tell you if you have a problem, email your problem. Once you email them your problem, only expect them to restate the obvious.
Your Email: My account was banned, and I would like to know why? I haven't done anything illegal (mind you they even ban if someone reports you for so-called "scamming that is hacking related", which they later find out that it was a game bug or glitch.) The problem is that they don't inform you why you were ban... they make you go and ask them, and respond with a short little email: "You are temporarily/permanently banned."Gee, what a great way to state the obvious.

can i have your accout? lol
im kidding, but if your looking for a game, trickerstar
look almost like secret of mana even tho the combo sucks
did i post here before? hmm
The things I hate about Flyff is that pets cost like fking 90m. Everthing is item based. Bots out the fucking wazoo. One time I made an acrobat and that part you have to do whe nu have to kill 40 aiaibats in 7 minutes? Well, the game lags so bad that when i left darkon to go back to flaris i got d/c from server had to log back in and that took up 2 minutes right there becuz it kept right on truckin' with the lags. Then when I finally got back in the game i actually killed all the aiaibats. With one minute to spare, so I teleport to darkon it takes up that one minute right there. and I got disconnected from server again. So I had to repeat the quest like 8 times becuz the same lagging and disconnecting routine kept occuring. Plus, It takes FOREVER to lvl up!!! When u are like lvl 15 and below u gettin really good and acceptable experience. Then once you get like to lvl 25 u start getting like . 20 xp i have a lvl 37 mage and gave up becuz it takes too long to lvl up and he only gets like .7 xp and im fighting something 5 times higher than I am!!! So dont play Flyff play something else thats worth playing and doesnt waste your teenage or childhood years.
My experince playing this game completely Contradicts his experince. EXP wise i believe there quite generous with it, don't get me wrong you'll defintely grind in this game. I still liked it though(lvl 89 Elementer)
