Yea even without advertisement this game lives off word of mouth even now in mmorpg forums people still occasionally bring up this game and of course on thoseserversthatcantbenamed plenty of people aware of IRO. 

 

Remaster could be interesting but they seemed to give up on PC maybe the next interesting thing could be a official ragnarok VRMMO.

full 3d update... like the cellphone RO it's than even possible? i mean change the skin of the game or idon't know, i believe is the dream of all players

[afiqz]

if the new server is 
 

- new game coding (not buggy and cant fix like current chaos)

- new client (SPACEBAR SKIP DIALOG PLEASE EVEN NEW GGH SEA SERVER NOT INCLUDE THIS WHAT A TURN OFF)

- rich with new content until 2045

- new server hardware with better ping for ppl outside of US and CAN

- new features in game like modern current MMO (SMARTCAST FEATURE LETSGOOO)

- and many more thing that kRO can surprise us

 

why not to start over with 10$ a month, rather than login on chaos and get depress everytime

If the server is well updated I would pay the fee, well updated I mean like having 4th jobs something like that, if not why bother?

[zyndri]

Disable MVPs in WoE. That would probably help that frontier. (It still sucks, but whatever.) 

 

I ain't got the time to play Classic with Classic EXP tables - some of ya'll are straight up crazy asking for that, since you know how much time it takes to grind to 99. I don't think that would be a wise move on WP's part since it's suuuuuuuuuuuuuch an incredible time sink, and will encourage botting overnight for people to make up the time/keep up with dedicated players.

 

On the other hand......... they could just add the EXP manuals for a good price.................. 

 

 

FIX CHAOS FIRST YA GOOFS, GOSH.

[Essmikayl]

Zynd talking about WoE? this is it, this is the time.

[pogiakopramis]

Roggh is better? Not! No eac = bot infestation. I saw comments recommending iRO instead. Laughable. Migrate us to kRO please. I dont want to start over again.

To all those people willing to pay subscription model on a new server, you'd seriously give your money after seeing how buggy Chaos server is??

No.  Nobody is going to pay a subscription for this buggy -_-.

 

I am not going to spend 90 minutes writing a forum essay that will go unread and unacknowledged.  Assume that among all things the bugs are fixed.

 

This is an MMORPG.  The players who want this game are invested in developing singular avatars in a consistent game environment.  The kind of people that they want to associate with are the people who want a long term investment in an avatar.  Altogether the game benefits from having a core playerbase over the long term, and these type of people are willing to pay a subscription for a curated experience.  In fact they will be happy to pay a subscription if it means there are no lootboxes or other paid shortcuts, so that everyone in the game is actually having the same experience.

 

@MODS:  You haven't PMed me.  You clearly give no DUX about actually running a successful server.

Some people seem to be interested in JRO billing, so I will explain it.

 

・It's about $ 13 a month.【1500JPY】

 

・The price of OPC is around $ 4.3【500JPY】

 

・Maximum equipment upgrade is +10

 

・Japanese pay about $87 when upgrading equipment beyond the safe area.

　The success rate from +9 to +10 is 10%.

　In other words, the Japanese pay about $ 87 each time until they are 10% successful.

【The amount of one upgrade is 10000YEN】

 ()

 

・Status reset is $ 17.4 once【2000YEN】

・Skill reset is $ 13 once 【1500YEN】

・The price of 10 Siegfried is $ 6.5 【750YEN】

・It cost me about $ 3484 for my acquaintance to change one weapon from +9 to +10.【400000YEN】

(But this is when out of luck)

Kin of expected that it would be expensive to whale there. Most of iRO players wouldn't survive there lol

Thank you for enlightening and providing information.

WP have been unable to fix a sprite bug on mado mech for two year now. A visual remaster will be a ww3 level disaster in the hands of WP staff.

Classic server, and $10/mo might not be enough for a good experience. Try to do a bit more, like $20/mo and make it a better experience. The kind of experience where, when someone asks for a bee fix, it will get done promptly. Also, cash shop is fine but mainly for costumes and stuff that doesn't give in-game advantages. Just my opinion!

 

 $20 a month might not be much to you, but even $10 a month is a substantial amount of money for third world country players, and consider that other extremely popular modern MMOs are $15 a month currently; $20 would be an insanely bad idea. I know that personally I wouldn't be playing it for that price.

i'm more of the idea to increase vip price, maybe return old system to buy in wp website not from box.
Increase price, and give more benefits: more exp, drop, good consumables, some bm account bound, some scrolls account bound, increase weight limit meanwhile your a vip a free reset once a month, because seriously, no one buy magical stone from kafra.
and no more ocp box, try to stay tight to kro content, but lot of friends have right saying it's too late from iro... Maybe some reviews to jro items, because some of them are too powerful, no sense to bring new content if the interesting items are from boxes and not ingame.
Remove some old gears from cash shop, and put some basic costumes enchantables or even some stones to enchant it, that will be way better than "Robo Eye" for 500 kp and ton of useless content that it's there from almost i start to play, like 11 years ago.
focus earning money not from jro boxes, instead sell some quick level up, sell more scrolls, sell more resets, sell more costumes, sell a basic starter pack to new players. I know boxes give lot of money, but that will end the server soon.

Nor should they mate, no one should be paying half a day or a day salary to refine on a 20 year old game LOL.

Their money, their decision. Different people have different priorities, so ...

I would even pay that or more if I could get a quality server.

FAS bug too, even we are still missing some content like YSF and rockridge weaponf or rebel.

[havocstopper]

One would hope with such an ambitious idea of charging for server access that the studio would send them a proper, clean server build. Remember, WP doesn't make anything, and RO is essentially a franchise. While I haven't agreed with a number of WP's decisions in the past, it's the studio's responsibility to send a build that works, and give WP the authorization to make needed tweaks/hotfixes in a timely manner.

[Senretsu]

There are a few things that I want to bring back to iRO that would help improve the current situation but there is one that is the best among them and that is to...

BRING BACK THE VIP+KP combo

~this will help bring the players back
 

[CMMayari]

Has it been determined what kind of server it would be if there is a new one?

 

There have been no further discussions or decisions made past just simply putting up a survey to see what the community has to say. So I don't really have any answers to any questions at the moment. Thanks!

In case GM's don't notice, we lost other 300 players last month, average players during february was 1k, now drop to 700. Too worrying, if it was me, i should take inmidatly measures.

And that's gonna be even worse when WP opens up a new server. 3 closures and still hasn't learned its lesson.
When was it ever that Chaos had the sole priority of WP's already limited staff??
Why is that whenever the server gets to have the full attention, WP instantly finds a way to shoot themselves in the foot and spread their resources once again?
 

 

People have warned you about RT just being a novelty and will have a guaranteed quick death and look what happened.
If you open this new P2P server, it will either:
 

1) Open like RT, with thousands new players for a few months, but will also die like RT in the end

2) New P2P server flourishes and maintains its thousands of new players, but Chaos becomes the new Thor and will be a zombie server.

Should've been worried since the beginning of 2020. If you'er quick at all, you would already predict the massive quitting. Then we went from 3.5k to 700. What are major events?

Gioia event

New server event

MA event

 

Anyway, Chaos has no hope left. Better open a new server, have it active and alive for few years ... make some money ... close and repeat. Keep Chaos alive is meaningless. It probably doesnt even generate lots of money anymore anyway.

It has nothing to do with gioia crap you talkin about. It’s all about region block.

[ChakriGuard]

I guess the population drop has nothing to do with RoT either lol

What's with your obsession of opening then closing servers? Opening a new P2P server might do some good, but closing it shortly after? Why? So that more people will feel cheated? If they close Chaos, WP will cease any RO servers (except the "clickers" or whatever else they have for phones) by the end of 2022.

 

Yeah, new servers are good every now and then. But some people would like to be able to have something to show for the years' worth of time and money invested in something. If WP promises that they're going to open a new server, AND that they're going to shut it down in a year, do you actually think anyone's going to spend any money on it? Honestly?

 

Mayari, is there going to be an announcement any time soon as to what the GM team has decided? Kinda interested in the outcome, ya know?

well, there are other games (mmorpg) where they open a "temporal server" with drop and exp increment. You have 2 or 3 months to compete to be the best, so admins make cool statistics about players, and once the time is over, they close the server, deleting everything and giving you a unique price in your main server depending on your develop.

So you want iRO to turn into like those private servers cause that's exactly how they are.

Classic died a natural death. RT was forced and was a private server in the making.. it died like one too.

 

 

I mean, if WP has enough people and have not been struggling managing Chaos, then by all means.

The problem is that the company can barely manage one server, piled up unresolved tickets in the thousands, several years old bugs unfixed, very slow internal testing, cash shop items always being bugged at release and extremely slow customer support.. all that and they want to open a new server? WHAT THE F.

 

 

If WP insists on it, then it will either die like how RT did, or Chaos will die as a result. WP will just have to choose. Maybe at this point WP doesn't care if Chaos will finally die... they gotta gamble on this P2P thing cause just keeping Chaos alive doesn't make sense anymore.
