How big of a difference is pre-renewal to renewal?

[anjasoleil1]

Hi, I'm planning to create a 99\70 server that would maybe someday expand to 175 3rd job. How big of a difference is it with stats, equipment and other stuff if I use renewal stats but only cap the level to 99/70 (2nd advance job)?

renewal changed a lot, some good some bad. 

But the difference is quite big, to name a few,.
Pre-

• Armor caps at 99 and the formula is pretty strong and easy to tank
• Refine limit is 10
• Gaining stats slowly increases in cost
• No 3rd classes (duh)
• A poring always give same exp
• Stronger monsters are more rewarding
• Skills only have variable cast time, Instant Cast is possible
• 10 level exp share

Renewal

• Armor isn't Capped (i think that's a good thing), and is calculated much differently
• Refine limit is 20
• post 100 gaining stats requires much more stat points
• 3rd class skills which completely out preform most trans skills
• larger level difference to a mob means less exp and drops up to 10 levels
• stronger monsters are not as rewarding,on reason to kill them is to not get exp or drop penalties
• cant get instant cast
• 15 level exp share

 

 

Edit:
II' sure i missed a few core things but think this covers most

10 years of difference. (not kidding)

Hmm I think later updating might actually work if you don't add any customization to the code. You could compile the server pre-renewal and after a while switch to renewal and recompile. I mean I did that all the time when testing stuff.

If you do not know the difference it is better to start as a player to learn and then move on to the administrative side. Research, lots of research, that's what you need.
