It also depends on what you want to do. If you want to be competitive in PVP it is expensive. But if you just want to play Stardew Valley Online for some reason, you can probably get by with just one or two payments of $15 and then pay your sub with farming/foraging/mining profits.

I was terrible at PVP and really not very good in dungeons either, but I had fun just farting around. When I got bored of the game I cashed out for a few hundred dollars.

All I like is growing stuff, and making cute houses while interacting with a world of adventurers. Its pretty dang fun, both this and last fresh start I've been able to pay the monthly fee once, and I always make enough gold in 2-3 days to buy and 2nd month "free." Slowly I've been buying more and bigger plots all while only spending my time laboring and doing deliveries on my cart :) (I don't even multi-box, I just do my favorite route whenever the zones are at peace).

To give people an idea, to buy a month is $15.00 or two APEX (in game item that you can buy right now for about $100 gold.) I make around 150-250 gold a day just planting on my small and (new) medium farm, and doing all my public herb/tree routes and one or two (safe and easy) trade back runs. This game is really unique in being able to play in this way, and reminds me a lot of when I played Ultima Online, but with even less combat if you want to be a trader/farmer/whatever.

But for all I loving know pvp is a p2w shitfest but MMORPG 1v1 doesn't really do it for me anyways.

Apparently event he NPC's said gently caress it and left. Fromt he (almost non) reading of the forums they are waiting on XL to rewrite the game or something before any servers even come back up (from a 1 hour maintance) (over 15 hours ago)

scamming isn't required, but we did oust our old guild leader for being a scamless virgin.

baka is fun but i think we're all going to quit because of a lot of reasons:
1) there has been a dupe bug in the game since fresh start launched, and it only got patched today
2) the APEX dupe was available for two weeks before getting fixed
3) Trade pack infinite-turning in caused a massive inflation of gold in the hundreds of thousands (probably)
4) Trion said they banned people doing these things, but none of the people I know who did it (to excess) including myself got banned
5) Server has a 50% uptime even a month after release
6) Infinite gilda spawning exploit
7) 75% of the people we funnel gilda toward get too big for their pants and either get thrown out of the guild, create drama and quit, or afk indefinitely.
8) vanilla wow actually works

baka is rough around the edges and there are a couple of edgelords that think calling warborn "friend of the family"born is hilarious, but 99% of the time people are chill.

Well the land is full now, so there's that. But it's great. I'm having as much fun as I had at launch, maybe more. It's even better now that fishing isn't as great an income source, so you don't have to do that poo poo anymore and no fishing pacts.

Unscheduled maintenance every day (that lasts 1-15 hours or there abouts)

Im back in for a bit.

Difference between launch and 2nd launch-

labour is actually meaningless. (where as it was the one resource at first launch). You have the euro's trying to sell 5k labour at 10g for 1k. (and this is with out being able to buy lp pots in the store ---- well you can pay for a package that gives you 1 a day)

Trade runs are ..... im going to say a waste of time.

Fishing can still be op, there is family fishing where 1 person fishes (others join in) and every family member gets a fish when one is caught. (also means you can catch fish way out of your level as 4 or 5 people helping makes it easier)

There are already pavillions up, people with cars and people with 230k lp in proficiencies. So its endgame less than a month after start.

Unless you like the farming or the game play there is nothing you are missing out on. If you had stuff on another server, you'd probably be better off going back there?

As a contrasting opinion...

The servers were the worst. But they're much better now. The game is playable.

I think labor still has value as long as you're willing to do tedious tasks.

Trade runs are worth it with guild merch ships. You can do speed runs with clippers that are worth your time. But carts/wagons are likely not worth running too much.

Fishing is still boring and I won't do it unless it becomes the best game in town.

Farming is fun, especially in calmlands/marcala where there are hourly pvp fights over logs. There is also a clear non-p2w progression for gear now that makes you relevant for for the time being (note: rng does still matter here).
