Hi, I'm planning to play on iRO, so i was wondering about a few things

1. I'm from South East Asia, how good/bad would the ping be?
2. Which server has the most population?
3. And is the 'actual' player population greater than 'bot' population? or the majority of players are bots?


Thanks in advance for anyone who responds.

1. Depends on your ISP and the route it takes. Lowerping may help if it ends up being bad.

2. There are only two servers, one for classic mechanics (no third jobs, max level 99, pre-renewal game mechanics) and one for renewal mechanics (third jobs, all the new content, renewal game mechanics). The renewal server has the higher population.

3. There are bots, and in low level maps, the bots outnumber players. But botting as a percent of playerbase seems smaller than it used to be.

1. Not sure.
2. Chaos
3. I think they're about the same.

Thank you for the replies, the only concern left is the ping issue then.

Guess i'll have to find that out myself.

Good luck with that and welcome to iRO.

I took a 4 month break and there are a lot less bots than there used to be, particularly at low levels
