+1 to the above. Very well said.
imho if you work together you can get the basic ED marc thara hydra cards and reach 9x quite easily in HeRO. Sure the incumbents would still hold some advantage, but i'm quite sure with proper team work you can overcome any obstacle.
@PBJ>> well....
1. timezone. If the sunday time was moved to saturday i believe HeRO's woe will have a higher chance of capturing even more of the Asian-Australian population though it might alienate some of the NA pop. Personally i still believe that the logic behind the latter is flawed because people still prefer to slack off be it saturday or sunday and that family time can occur throughout the weekend be it saturday or sunday as well as the fact that if the hardcore NA woe-ers can dedicate their sundays for woes, the same can be said for saturdays. Nothing much can be said about he wednesday WOE because no matter how you skew it you will alienate some parts of the population because of it being the middle of the week.
2. RO itself provides enough "possible goals" other than WOE - /alchemist, /blacksmith, /taekwon, chatting, etc
3. and on top of that, HeRO provides even more "goals" to achieve
