Anyone else miss 2009-era Metin2? Been playing a small classic server that could use more people

Hey everyone. Just to get this out of the way first: I'm a player, not staff and I'm not affiliated with the server.

I've been playing Yeogsa since January and it's probably the closest I've found to the Metin2 I remember playing back around 2009–2010.

The server is pretty small, which is actually why I'm posting this. I genuinely enjoy playing there and I think it would be a lot more fun with a few more active people around.

A bit about the server:

• Classic progression with a level 99 cap
• No pile of flashy custom systems that completely change the game
• Everything important from the Item Shop can be earned by playing
• You get Mpoints from Metins, bosses, quests, events and by recycling bonus items at the blacksmith
• Real money is mostly for cosmetics
• Regular events like fishing contests, PvP events and seasonal stuff like the Christmas dungeon
• Some useful QoL features like offline shop pages and an in-game wiki
• It's also not one of those servers that launches, gets hyped for two weeks and disappears. It's been around for quite a while and originally started as Mt2Classic.

The honest part:

It's definitely a grind.

Most of us use a couple of alts for farming and you're not going to hit max level in a weekend. If that's what you're looking for, this probably isn't the server for you.

But if you miss the slower progression of old Metin2, where upgrading your gear and building your character actually took time, that's exactly why I like it.

The main downside right now is simply the population.

The people who are there are friendly, the events are fun and I've actually made some friends playing there, but having more players would make the economy, trading and events much better for everyone.

If anyone decides to try it, come say hi in-game, my name is JEFE or goshow

And if you have questions about the server, I'll answer what I can.
