So I used to play this alot, a struggle it was with the DC's and bots and trying to log in.
I now have a better laptop and am thinking about coming back, with the use of premium ticket ect (its a must now right)?
Questions
1) has the economy now got out of control? give me the average price of a wep elix now. Used to be 250k when I quit. If its sky high how best to start again without not being able to buy anything at all?
Prices are crazy, yes, 750k-1 mill per weap elixir on Iris, can't speak to other servers2) bots still as common as b4?
Yes, just as common, Joymax does some bans but if anything the goldbots are everywhere, there are gbots at seirenes, huns, golems, bunwangs, etc, etc3) Is it worth me levelling up myself as I have no gold when everyone else is being Plvld to lvl 50,60,70,80+?
Get in a good server with friends or people willing to plvl you or party with you, and it's probably a little easier. Getting lucky with an SoS drop that can provide you with some starting cash helps too, after that, buy low sell high, sell tabs and stones, and you'll make some money.4) Is it worth coming back?
That really depends on you, if you have friends on the server and really enjoy the game despite its flaws, then maybe 
thanks
