Are There Differences Between: Granado Espada & Sword of the New World..?!

[mlauzon]

Which one is the better, more up-to-date version...and what is the difference between the two?!

[Mxerdude]

GE is the SEA version SoTNW is the U.S. version.

I believe GE is more updated too. I don't know that as a fact.

GE used to allow you to run ingame bot longer then SOTNW but not sure if they changed that.

Granado Espada is ahead of Sword of the New World.

Noticeable differences:
-The market is much steeper in Granado Espada with items with high demand going for over 100,000,000vis VS Sword of the New World where they may go for about 20,000,000 to 50,000,000.
-Community would be different, too, but that's up to you to decide which community you would like to play in. You can get a good idea of the communities by reading the forums.
-Event times happen during different times depending on their own respective regions.
-Granado Espada has more players.
-Bots will be bots. Can't stop them. They exist in both versions and are most likely proportionate, meaning you will see more bots in Granado Espada than Sword of the New World.
-Management from the game's owners. Here's one recent example:
Sword of the New World - Took down the servers without notice to patch up a duping exploit, and caused a rollback. They compensated for that by turning on 50% exp for 3 full days for all players.
Granado Espada - They had an ad-hoc maintenance, which is a maintenance out of nowhere. I'm not sure if they had a rollback or not, but they compensated by giving all players a 100% exp-increase cash shop item that they can activate when they want, including a 1-day Forgotten Territory cash shop pass which allows players to enter an exclusive dungeon with very high spawn rate.
-Granado Espada seems more involved with their community than Sword, most likely due to Singapore being a fairly small place, so everyone is more communal compared to United States. GE hosts many get-togethers for Singapore players, and they even had a recent contest or something for players to get 2 free trips to Singapore.
-Base EXP is different between both versions. Sword of the New World has an increased base EXP rate.
-Cash shop costs are different. Granado Espada's shop is cheaper than Sword of the New World.

Nope, played on Orpesia. Guess I should also say the markets are compared between Orpesia server of Sword of the New World VS Rembrandht server of Granado Espada, both of which are non-PvP servers.
