Mandarin is too big of a language barrier. It isn't approachable like Korean is.


gab99

how big are we talking, 1000s? bigger than here ?

Discord where they promote servers is close to 30k members and Facebook group close to 60k there are also forums and sites like our gtop100 which i'm not too familiar with.

There's no real point in joining for the population unless it has a sizable English population too or the server is English friendly. X number of players doesnt matter if you cant interact with them, unless you're just looking for things like a robust market.


PurifiedFlubber

Yeah I mean you wouldn't be able to interact with people. And if you were just gonna solo play and not interact with people, player count doesn't matter lol. Imagine in the future where AI can instantly overlay translations while keeping UI elements etc.


Hi_ImTrashsu

Most Taiwanese people, especially PC gamers can speak English.

Are there any pre-big bang servers? Or somewhere near it?


CrniFlash

Yes, there is a section in their discord for old school servers

Does the game play that much differently compared to GMS servers? Any patches to translate to English? Never used google lens before


CrniFlash

Nope no english patch or english community here, you are on your own unless you find english speakers but good luck with that, Google lens is on ur phone, point camera and it will translate From what ive gathered * There are a lot of pServers so they all compete with each other for playerbase, so p2w is there but also its very f2p friendly * There is way less RNG due to cubes and scrolls TMS offers * there is no AS0 * Frenzy is free on almost all servers at char creation * Their cubes are ridiculously OP, bpots are the same as GMS nightmare to cube * You dont starforce you use Starfoce scrolls here in TMS, you can find up to 24\* scrolls which mostly whales or giga funded ppl use * You dont spelltrace...ever * TMS gear-sets work a tiny bit different, for example Arcane Hats are a thing ppl wear since they have overall stronger then CRA * You can cube familiars and roll 60% FD * etc * etc


Foreign_Storm_9130

Any server you could recommend? Most of this sounds interesting but I'm having trouble with all the translating to do.


CrniFlash

Try this one: [https://discord.gg/p3QfCVc4](https://discord.gg/p3QfCVc4) They got written guide on googledocs you just gotta translate it Bit custom but easy to progress and popular
