dear gms,
when i first heard about this server, i was pretty hyped. ragnarok online - the game ive played since 2004, more or less 13 years of my life ive spent in that game (with a lot of breaks tho). euRO (european ragnarok online published by bura:ic), fRO (french ragnarok online, piublished by gravity eu) and some crowded pservers as well.
playing a pserver is never the same feeling as playing an official one. playing on officials makes you feel better, because you know that its legal and that all the time youre playing it isnt wasted - most of the official servers are gonna stay for long so all of your reached goals arent for nothing and youre gonna benefit from it even if you take a break for some months.
to get you a better understanding of my point of view i have to admit that ive never played renewal and refused to do so. gravity decided to make renewal standard globally and except for iRO classic there wasnt any other officlal server catching my interests. iRO classic wasnt an option either, because a lot of people told me its full of bots and too laggy to play it on a decent level from EU so its not worth trying. another problem for me was, that its open since a couple of years and the people who are playing it are miles ahead - no chance to get on their level (equip, money etc. pp.).
i think now you can maybe imagine how it makes me feel when this server opens its doors. i was very happy about it, so i did some investigation how i can handle the lag-problem first. after getting some information about it, i started to fix it with some tools (leatrix, wtfast. pingzapper and so on) and it WORKED WELL.
the first 2 weeks on this server were incredible for me - no bots, no lags, a decent market, a lot of players (3-4k) and the most attractive part: NOSTALGIA. it didnt even bother me, that it wasnt classic and there were a lot of renewal-mechanics i had to deal with. i invested a lot of money into it, because i liked it.
from time to time more "players" (bots) infested this server, market was flooded by low-tier-drops, maps were crowded, lags made it impossible to play and server got ddosed for more than a week.
nope, i didnt enjoy it to play at this time, but im a ragnarok-online-player, so ofc im patient ... im used to get over those things, because i love this game and ive never played on a server where everything went well from start until end.
so ... what did i do? i can tell you what. investing more money into this server, because i was trusting you guys. ive read the forum here a lot and i was sure, you are doing all you can do, to stop the bots, stop the ddos and to make this server great again. at least ive talked to some old friends of me and make them gonna play this server too. i never felt that it was risky or something because i was 100% sure this server would be "our home" for a huge amount of time.
and i was right. you have stopped the ddos-attacks, you have solved the bot-problem and you have lowered the ping/lags drastically, thanks.
you made this server playable for 2 days. TWO DAYS.
AND NOW?
its worse than before. bots are back, perma disconnects, market is broken, zeny-inflation is real ... and BY FAR THE WORST THING IS:
THERE IS NO END-GAME-CONTENT BECAUSE ITS USELESS TO MVP. ARE YOU KIDDING ME TO SHOW ME THAT KIND OF LOOTTABLE AFTER PLAYING 2 MONTHS ON THIS SERVER? WHY ARENT MVP CARDS INGAME? ARE YOU INCOMPETENT OR WHAT. AND YES IM RAGING HERE, BECAUSE YOU ARE DESTROYING THIS SERVER WITH YOUR -_-TY DECISION. I WANT MY MONEY BACK, BECAUSE I INVESTED MY MONEY TO PLAY OFFICIAL RAGNAROK ONLINE - A GAME CREATED BY GRAVITY. MVP CARDS ARE A PART OF THIS GAME IVE BEEN PAYING FOR, SO GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO GET THEM.
thanks.
