Lets say a person who has never before heard of Ragnarok stumbles upon the IRO website. For each of the versions that you might have played before, what would you briefly have to say about it? Maybe include some pro's and con's of each version if you please? And finally if there were any good tips & tricks that may be helpful for a newbie to know.

 

 

IRO Classic

 

 

IRO Restart

 

 

IRO Journey

 

 

IRO Renewal

 

 

Ragnarok 2

Seriously tho, during the migration im just like (as many others as well) oh god thanks we are free from levelup! No more bias! An actual service! And such even treating WP as a holy land for us who's been opressed by LU for years (pure p2w)

Chaos players hated us right from the start (nah just the idea of keeping us mostly) so it kinda discouraged a number which was kind of disappointing

But well just as we thought WP is better than Levepup ph, there is an actual customer service! Scams? The GM's got your back! Stuck in instance? There's medivac! You can even talk to em through the CM's

Sad thing everything became p2w at one point, dont get me wrong i know paying users have a lot of perks but well it got out of hand, and everything went downhill

The playragnarok site needs more eye catching materials btw, ragnarok is a great game, the younger generation just need to discover it somehow

Nothing wrong with more players coming, but the creation of a new server and splitting their already dwindling attention in the game was bad for everyone.

Hello cinnamod!

 

Personally, I don't hate Thor players. I hate Thor. The server. There were active problems with your service before transferring. Literally just giving Thor a chance to thrive in Chaos with a brand new account, maybe a starter back and some level 150 characters would have been great.

 

No corruption, no bad data, nothing but a fresh new populace to enter into an existing server. But no, they took the other path, the one that literally -_-blocked our ticket system for half a year, with just mega tonnes of people in the end wanting a server merge to Chaos when there were many issues that came with the data that was transferred.

 

It's not your fault or the pRO players fault that your previous service was corrupt as -_-, and it is MOSTLY down to WarpPortal for handling that whole issue terribly.

 

It would have been nice to have a server with a bunch of new faces, but that time has passed, there are still ways for things to move forward but the fact is, there is still terrible corruption that came with your data and I would like to have seen a service offered for a basic transfer to our server with any OCP items in tow (seeing as they were added POST Thor), but that's it. No costumes, no in game items, nothing that could have come from your original server.

 

It was similar when my old server (oRO) came to iRO, and plenty of bad -_- came through. NOT AGAIN DAMNIT :U

Warpportal is making iRO great again by concentrating resources on Chaos and making sure Thor is Thor and two servers wont merge  :rice:  :rice:  :rice:

Warpportal should of never opened Thor. It would make much more sense if Warpportal offered starter packs and free 150 characters as Nirv suggested.

iRO Classic - slow RO
Pros: ...
Cons: It's a dead horse that people refuse to stop beating.

iRO Restart - RO with an identity crisis
Pros: ...
Cons: It exists.

iRO Journey - RO from the perspective of botters
Pros: ...
Cons: It exists.

iRO Renewal - fast RO
Pros: ...
Cons: Every version outside of Asia is outdated as crap and developers don't care.

iRO2 - RO cosplaying as WoW
Pros: Attracts theme park MMO fans.
Cons: Attracts theme park MMO fans. Also, beta version was best.

private servers got bot protections for 10 years while officials lost restart to their own incompetence, starting new on servers managed by warpportal is something I wouldnt recommend.

why would people bother to bot in private servers anyway? :heh:

 

The protections got no to zero meaning, besides rathena/eathena (pservers) and aegis engine (official servers) have completely different way of work.

wapportal should've take over idRO renewal publishing right, not only make that crappy publisher can focus on their recrap - classic, but also allow Indo player get much more decent experience

 

not to mention indo whale is far more easy to milk when they got salted.

 

it will make wp got more money, increase RO population, and save indo player from their misery 

 

 

for illegal server case, did u know ppl who work on those emulator is the one that work for the bot, illegal server ppl are hypocrite -_-, they just pirating RO, complain to gravity while at the same time stole gravity work and never pay any money to gravity for their fun.

 

seriously WP should ask Microsoft to take down those project from GitHub, Microsoft own github now :(

https://www.divine-p...94/rainbow-star

 

i currently have accounts with this gear. if i remember correctly i have 3-6 lol. all given by friends because they think ill possibly move to thor. it was worth 1k pesos before in cash shop, that's like 20usd i think? each.

 

merge and i sell them at 10b each. you are able to reach up to 100% demi reductions with it in TE. ill tell you how

"bot protections" that dont do crap. The simple reason why pservers are not infested with them is because who the f will bother doing it when the server might shutdown maybe tomorrow.

If it was half a year it felt more than that (perhaps a full year and then some).

 

Can't forget the times the servers went down just so a tool that was made by and sent from the developers to "fix" corrupt characters after levelup didn't bother to send a second copy of character data. 

 

It took more than 3 tools being made and sent (closing off chaos server at or extend maintenance as well as putting other things on hold) to try and get some results, it wasn't good enough. When it was announced that the possibility of not everything was going to be returned or function properly through the tool, goodness, let the indignation and accusations ensue.

 

Items not working on that server was and still are due to not having data for those items and then there are items that have similar functions to what chaos does have and keeps their stat or function. One example is the Foxtail, it has its magic attack 10 because chaos server does have lower head gear that does have magic attack (as well as other stats), but none of them has fixed casting reduced.

why not, there are low rate server more active than iRO renewal, if they can be botfree why is WP unable to do so. They threw restart under the bus right from the start, banning of EU because of even more incompetence was just the killing blow.

 

 

 

"bot protections" that dont do crap. The simple reason why pservers are not infested with them is because who the f will bother doing it when the server might shutdown maybe tomorrow.

 

They actually do, but I guess if you get told from iRO staff for 15 years "that theres nothing we can do about it", while some hippies in their basement can, maybe Id tell myself that too. 

 

Aside from the fact that there are servers up for over 10 years, what exactly does botting cost you there, even if they did shut down. Another point would be that people on iRO cant be too sure to not get told that their work will be lost in a month as well, unless you are american of course.
