Grand Crusade Hype — No-Wipe Server
Grand Crusade Hype is Melcosoft Test's server on the Grand Crusade chronicles, launched on April 2, 2021 and running without wipes ever since. On May 18, 2021 it was merged with High Five Bartz x1, a server that had been live since 2010 — so many characters here carry more than a decade of history. The rate system is dynamic: EXP/SP runs from x1 to x3 up to level 100, then a true x1 from 100 to 110. The economy is fully hardcore: adena, drop, spoil and quest rates are x1, raid bosses x2. This server suits players who want to settle into modern chronicles for the long haul — no progress resets, no top-gear handouts, a strict anti-bot policy and regular events. Melcosoft Test is a compact but stable platform where servers run for years, and Hype is no exception.

Questions & answers
What are the rates on Grand Crusade Hype?
EXP/SP is dynamic, from x1 to x3 up to level 100; from 100 to 110 it is x1. Adena, drop, spoil and quest rates are x1, raid bosses x2. Economy-wise this is a classic hardcore server.
Are there wipes on Hype?
No. The server has been running since April 2, 2021 without a single wipe, and on May 18, 2021 the High Five Bartz x1 server (live since 2010) was merged into it. Melcosoft Test occasionally opens separate seasonal servers, but the main Hype server is never reset.
How do I start playing?
Register a master account on the website, then download the game via the launcher — the primary and recommended method. If the launcher is unavailable, a client mirror on Google Drive is provided. After installing, create a character and enter the world.
Is the server pay-to-play?
No, it is free to play. Optionally there is a premium account (offline leveling, PA points, fishing) and an in-game shop with cosmetics, leveling items and supplies. Real-money trading between players is permitted on this server.
Is there a buffer or a GM shop?
There is no classic GM shop stocked with gear — items are earned by players, and the x1 economy keeps them genuinely valuable. The buffer role is handled by the Traveler's Helper, an NPC that provides support magic to characters up to level 94.
