RE: Reset Cost Question?
The "update of the resetter" means when we switched to the old pricing toward the new one. It means the counter started when we added this new cost and did not take into account any previous resets before that. We have not decided if we will purge that counter eventually or just let it go up for as long as your character exists, for now assume the second option.
As for the cost, of course many don't like forking zeny, but you'll have to live with it. As others said resetter is meant to fix mistake, not reset all the time back and forth between 2 builds. If I could go back in time to the start of the server, I think I'd make a resetter with a max number of use, would make people very careful about resetting xD
There are various ways to save on the reset cost btw, which I'll just list a few that come on the top of my head but I'm sure you can find more. First, reset less often, gather materials for longer, storage can hold an almost infinite number of an item that stacks, so no problem there. You can also split the cost with the people you brew for, you make items for them not just for yourself so have them give a little. Since reset is costy you can take advantage of that and could vend brewed items to other players, you said there was not such a market like on large server but have you tried? There's a shop in Lighthalzen vending speed potion for more than the npc asks for, yet it sells because people are lazy, so chances are you could vend acid bottles and such at a nice price, thus profit pays for part of the reset cost.
Anyhow, reset cost have been discussed before, but we feel our choices were justified for what we want to achieve, sorry it's not a popular choice.
