I personally found that I didn ' t need that much space side to side . As long as your arms swinging around doesn ' t hit anything . However , I also found that it works best about 7 ft back away from the camera . It ' s easier to capture your entire body this way . For $ 10 it might be worth a shot . This game is hella fun . <| sep |> where do I go to see server populations <| sep |> Am Californian , can confirm . I would probably protest the idea of children slaughtering each other . <| sep |> Random question , but as a design choice , why have the white outline around the kingdom key only ? It looks great but that little thing is throwing me off haha . <| sep |> I was in a pretty similar situation except I was one of the friend invited by someone else to play this game . However I ended up playing this more than they did on top of that I graduated so all I had to do was work then I can play this while they had to studyhomework . The compatibility isn ' t too bad but depending how far you want to go . A level 60 over hundreds of hours can grind with a level 55 12 weeks and still make efficient silverhour Sausans but not so much exp . If you join a guild with them that ' s more friendly towards lower gears then you can also do Node Wars with them which might actually be really fun since you ' ll most likely contest t 1 and t 2 nodes , depending on how far your progression is , you may feel really strong being able to 1 versus multiple enemies at once . If you do lifeskills then levels and gear don ' t matter too much , you can go out exploring , sailing the seas , fishing , hunting whalesKhalk , . etc . There are a lot of activities you can do with your friends , but your urge to be efficient will eat you . I personally joined a guild on my own that matches my strength and made new friends to enjoy this game with . While my other friends still play , and I occasionally interact with them , I ' m mostly just someone on voice chat with them to bounce questions off of every now and then . Overall , I still suggest getting this game if you ' re into MMORPGs , even if it ' s just something you play by yourself . The game is truly amazing Except the lags that servers are experiencing lately , kind of makes me want to pull my hair out !
