The sad thing is, I just got my merchant to Vendor level. 
I've turned 4.4k into 40k so far though... Too bad it's all a waste.
Last night was pure love. Only 6k people in game.. areas that normally were choked to all hell were actually usable once again.
I'm sure it will be a bit more fun in the P2P mode, but it's not worth $12 to beta test a buggy, engrish based game.
Pulled this gem from their "BBS"...

Hello, this is the iRO team.
We kindly ask for your cooperation in maintaining the community of iROs free BBS. Please be aware that any users posting profanity or racial slurs will be dealt with according to the posted rules and punishments. Remember, that by using the free BBS, you are agreeing to the Rules of Conduct posted on the welcome page to each board. Also, in order to settle any confusion related to check/debit card payments, we will state that only automatic recurring Direct Debit subscriptions will be charged additional fees. These additional fees are due to the higher cost of receiving payments via this method. Conventional check/debit/credit card transactions will not be charged this extra fee. Once Ragnarok Online goes live on June 1, 2003, the beta testing period will officially end and Ragnarok Online will be a commercial product. Thank you for your concern and we hope that you will continue to enjoy Ragnarok Online.
