Please, only comment if you have TRIED BOTH.

So, I have been playing RO Valkyrie lately and it's driving me insane. Reaching Job Level 9 as a Mage is WTFGRINDTASTIC, not sure if it stays that way after that. I'm lagging like crazy too since the server seems to be overpopulated. So far the community seems friendly/alright. The fact that Kafra Warps are limited is kinda annoying, but it's bearable.

So yeah, comparing the free RO versus SoS (Secret of Solstice) which one would you say is the least laggy, has the best community and/or is the least grindy?

Thanks.
