The sheer volume of AP that Beginners receive

  If you average 100 levels a rebirth, 52 weeks a year, you can be level 10k+ in two years.
  
  Anyone who was playing before had to either pay for cards, or wait for weeks to rebirth, which took twice as long. So overall the bar for newbies is technicaly above level 6k now for casual players in that sense.'
  
  500 ap isn't that much either, it's barely enough to cap combat mastery, and perhaps smash or windmill.

  
  
  Well if like I said the 500 AP potions or the newbie box containing them are bank tradeable, and you start off with 6 character cards, you would only need to make 6 more paid characters to get 6000 AP. Obviiously it doesn't account for Explore levels or AP events, so then just toss in a few more characters and mission accomplished.
  
  Now if they aren't bank tradeable I care much less, but if they are it's fucked up.

  I believe only one character on the account gets the newbie box. The first one you log in as iirc, so it can't be abused at all.

  Edit: And its not limited to just the first character either. New character, Same account as the previous pictured.

  Apparently all characters on the account get it.

  Then I don't think it would be transferable via bank or even allowed to go in bank at least. If it is, then it is most likely unintended and needs to be brought to their attention.

  I'm pretty happy about this, it encourages players to stay. One of the things that pissed me off of mabinogi when I first joined was the difficulty it was to earn AP. I'd buy weekly rebirths just so I felt like I was making progress. The most disappointing thing for me is veterans don't get anything unique of special since the change.

  AP pots have never been bank tradeable, so I doubt the box they come in will be.

  wait so can I make a new char on the same account and still get the box? I'd hate to have to create another accounted to switch all my gear because I plan to make a new char with 500ap points. I played with an accumulative lvl of 500 and only just have that many ap points lol.

  Turns out the free AP and training pots were from an event... >.>

  I personally feel all the bonuses and now this 500 AP new players get makes all the work those of us who played form the beginning did seem like a waste.
  Things that would take us weeks of grinding to achieve several years ago can now be done in half a day by someone who creates an account right now.
  As a person who values their time I find the whole thing pretty insulting.

  
  
  I agree, veterans had to go through the pain of waiting for free rebirth or spending Nx for rebirth Cards (if desperate) to get those AP. Now all you have to do is make a new character and bam before you know it you are 1K+ within a month. I recall veterans had it pretty rough in comparison to now to even get to 1k total.

  I believe it's a whole new account. Not just a new character on the same account. It wouldn't make sense if it was the same account.

  i created a character to test it, and it appears that every character you make on the account will get it if its before the end of the event
