Hello, I'm new here. I don't understand why the translation process has to involve labor in any kind of way. Like someone already pointed out, you could copy and paste the NPC dialogues from the Aura project. I see no good reason for why not, as it would be more convenient for exactly everyone.
If for some reason you still don't want to do that, you could take screenshots from NPC dialogues in the official version. There are programs that allow you to copy and paste text directly from an image. Even my phone camera has this function.
Why would you want to make it harder for yourself?

Do you realize how many dialogues there is in this game?
For one, Aura doesn't have nearly as many (and they are post-genesis dialogues too) completed.
Next, there's literally 50,000+ lines that need translated.
It would take years to do it by ripping them from Nexon's server.

Yes, I do realise that, but wouldn't it take much longer time to translate it by hand? As it is now, a lot of the dialogues that already are translated are gramatically incorrect or misspelled, and there are a lot of dialogues missing from very early game, basic characters. Dialogues that would very easily be implemented by proposed method.
Then of course for MabiPro you would have to find where that script fits into the npc script file. I'd imagine that just translating the lines from Japanese would actually be much easier than trying to deal with all of that.
But, if you know japanese you know what dialogue to replace it with. In the long run, I think it would take much shorter time than translating it by hand.
I'm only trying to help.

A lot of our translations are machine-assisisted, but either way our method is a thousand times faster.
Your "proposed method" would take me 10 minutes just to put 1 line in, but our method you can just copy a line, translate it, and then you're done. No need to use a packet logger to grab the text, figure out where it's located in the game files, then end up doing the same translations we do anyways because we have to make sure locale specific stuff stays in for Japan server, etc, etc.

I see, that makes sense. But since you were searching for people who know japanese I assumed everything was translated by hand, which seems to be a whole lot of labor for something that could be more automated. But very well then, good luck and good job with this server!

How about opening an art shop for in-game gold/paypal? Would that be okay with the GMs?

As for getting scammed in an art shop, that is easily guaranteed not to happen by a mutual understanding between buyer & seller: Buyer places order. Seller creates the art. Seller shows the buyer a watermarked version of the artwork, to make sure order has been fulfilled as per buyers requirements. Buyer approves art, pays through paypal (which also has several systems in place against scamming and theft).
After seller has recieved the payment the complete piece is sent to the buyer.
For gold sure, I don't see a problem with that.
For actual money, you should consider handling that outside of here offsite, because that is a bit risky.
May I ask, what exactly do you mean by risky?

I have seen people with different colored griffins/snow tigers. How is that possible?

Started as far back as EU closed beta, then played on the Macha server in EU. In truth, I never actually got that far, but I damn well had fun. My excitement was shared by my younger cousin as well. Then eventually the EU servers died, and we migrated to NA. Had some fun in the very beginning, but I had to take a longer break from the game, and when I came back, it was nothing like it had been before. Since then I've tried to have fun on the official servers again, but I just can't get into it. All that free stuff sucks the fun out of the game, and it's pretty much just a dress-up game now. So this server is like a godsend to me.
Indeed it is!! There is no way out. Mabi has a firm grip on our souls now forever and always.
This game is like writing a contract in blood, you always return no matter how far you go.
