Okay, thank you for clearing that up. Been a long while since I last ventured in DBO, spare me if I ask rather foolish questions.

I'm not new to DBO, but I know that I may just go with TW, for the simple fact that I know how it feels to be around all (mostly) foreign players who cannot speak your language and cannot help you on any circumstances. It's not so much that i'm a noob, it's just I'd rather have people to talk to in the meantime, as well as not be so lonely (KR is the place to go if you want loneliness)

i dont think kr have a bad community
lot koreans i ever talked to can speak english
if not they try it to talk
and about english community
not all of guild taskforce are from america
so actually they more europeans then english ~

Im gonna try be less biased as possible about the pros of each game.

As Tempest and other people said, if you want to play with other english speakers you should give priority to TW version. As the account making didnt had the KNSS trouble KR has, alot of people gone there and it became for quite a time the main version for us players. The problem with this is that in a sence, KNSS was a way to filter the huge amount of rotten apples that emerged in the game. The AH in TW is bad for newplayers, what I mean is that its very hard for new players in TW to have a presence in the game. HK is a newer version with a even simplier account making but its seen as the "rare bird" of the three versions. Some people didnt even knew about that version so to say. I created account to check the foreigns and AH of that game and what I can say i that there is less foreigns, the AH is cheap if you compare to TW but has also a really small amount of items to offer, what im trying to say is that from AH of HK it seems that alot of players still didnt get to end level, so they could farm end gears to put in AH. I think hat version is still not matured in terms of numbers of end players. For last you have KR that is like HK in terms of AH prizes and number of active english speakers, this version has the advantage of getting the updates first of course :V

But like you said, try every version as you have already a KR account and the other 2 will be done without trouble.

I love bumping old dead threads.

Kr for pro hipsters
HK for those whole want the kr experience but cant be bothered to make a kr account.
Tw for everyone else.


Serious pros cons

Kr
HK

TW

Jaxill, your post needs to be a guide or something. Seriously. I think that if I do end up getting back into the game (after I get a new computer -.-) I'll probably go for the HK version.

Also, have a rep cookie.

Jaxill, you touch very important components of each server, though It seems that you're more a KR player. If so, I must ask, what is there to do at end game?, with such a low population (comparing to TW) of english players, I'd think it'll become way too much of a drag to play. Back when I played KR (2010) we were stranded in the english players department (thank god for Zlegends guild), I would imagine after the release of two other versions, the game be lacking in players even further. KR may virtually be the best, but in the end there's no motivation once you meet max level. Little to no one to talk to but roll the dice hoping a foreign knows a lick of english. Same goes for HK.

Which brings me to the conclusion (MY OPINION) TW is the best. There's more people to socialize with as well as actually play the game with in full swing. The economy may be trash, but I guess that means you have to work twice as hard in order to get what you want -- which in some ways is a good thing. And as for the balance, not too sure on that..

Just want to put out my questions and beliefs for everyone to read/analyze.
Discuss.

kr doesnt lack people
when hitting max lvl we do many many fun things
besides lot koreans talk english to me (also in talkon sort of teamspeak/raidcall but korean version)

and i know what im talking about
i also play kr dbo since middle 2010
and i never missed something

everyday new people are joining kr version (korean local players)
there lot people
and also do lot things
actually in tw back when i was there for 1 week or so
people stay in korin town at platform and thats it
so in kr we do more stuff
a lot more
and why do i have to do stuff only with foreigners?
koreans are more fun ^_^

TW is balanced,the thing is that all goes for PvP.

korea server is more balanced then any other version

Everyone here just gives the opinion of their own server so it's never gonna be neutral, but the true is, kr players do try to pull players (so there is really a small foreign community), HK even smaller and lest end game play, TW more people, more noob, scammers, hackers and whatever, but also more people to play with (and more fun if you know how to deal with it xD), TW economy worse why?, everything is at hight price YEAH! but hey do sell at hight price too ^^! more players, highers prices, more people whiling to spend money as it will be worth it, more end game party, yeah kr has it, hk too (less tought), but not compared to the amount like in TW, so if you want to explore the end game more sooner TW, if you want to go the hard way KR (if you like challenge), HK solo play focused, that's the thing that I deduced from all comments, just my opinion like all, in resume, just play your game and have fun :)

And yes I'm TW player :D
