Title: Oh MattRO players where art thou?
Post by: Rbread on Jun 25, 2006, 12:12 AM
Dear MattRO Players,

I still miss MattRO mainly because of the fun and interesting people i've met.

People on that server have brought me through a cultural experience and taught me many things.  Although I still have some people on IM programs, they never log on anymore.  If someone knows people who've played on MattRO, please redirect them here!  I miss the server very much.

Yours Truly,
Orange Monk

yeah but that WoW server came up long after all the old M-ro players left...
well anyway i did find some of the people i was looking for, and wow, they were it the strangest pits and corners of the net.... though i still can't find that guy skies v.v....... as for the other people i could not find.... i don't really care anymore.

about gatts
I say it would be the wrong way to go
the national guard is probably the onley thing that could keep that man from opening his loud mouth.
they are probably the ones behind all this xP
you will need to counter that with alien's or something.

Lawl, Riot. =( MattRO was the second private server I ever played on. ;] First I was a GM on. I played it from its opening (when Shay and I were like the only two people on the server.xD) to about when it closed. ;(

I moved on to WoW though (Daggie 70 Paladin on Akama), playing RO every now and then when I get the chance.

I haven't really talked to Shay in a while. Though there was a time when I didnt want to talk to anyone alot while I was playing WoW, since I was in a heavy raiding guild. As for talking on msn, I haven't done that in a year or so.

Poop, knew I forgot to add "some" people in there.

as for some of the other MattRO people, they are not listed because  I mostly know where the rest of you are. atleast all of the more known people and of couse the ones I knew.

anyway, nice to see that you're still kicking.

i can't remember HALF of the damn people from mattRO.   Anyone remember the great forum wars?  lol, it was me, NBK, Bagel, Aura, Kingsomethinorother, and a couple other people...lol. 

ohohoh, and who can forget the ahole ex i had that told everyone i died, lmfao..

so yeah, just reliving the old days..

we all need to open our own server and relive the past, bashing each other, talking massive amounts of sht about pvp and what not...=D

Post by: Sacred on May 31, 2008, 06:39 PM
Yea, you're death thinggie was pretty odd. But the funny part was that no one believed it was you when you came back with that other user name. all that was however during the last months of the MattRO forum, so much messed up stuff happened the years before that.

I do recall some people (not quite sure who) were telling me to stop accusing them of stealing a phrase I was spewing around. this was pretty odd on my side since I don't recall telling anyone they stole something from me, muchless it was about 3 years ago since I last said it. hehehe crazy people. however I did start saying it around the opening of MattRO, but why anyone would call claims on such a word is beyond me.

You mean when we finally had enough and jumped ship~

I mean I'll forever love what MattRO was, because it was the origination point for a lot of the private RO server community afterwards... but Gods damn if Matt didn't let his server crash and burn at the end.

Also, hey =P

Was my first real private RO server, and I did admin there until the end =P

After it died we all followed Riot to Hope, but after some time I stopped playing RO. Not hard to remember what happened when your entire private server experience is limited to two servers.

Oh I remember that server and everyone that played it! It was the best but Matt kept obsessing over this Carmen girl and wiping the server every few days so everyone got pissed and started spamming IRC 24/7

Had an Archer named Winter, and a Knight named Endurance. still remember a lot of people and I have some of the IRC logs from back then too.

After MattRO I went and played different servers for a short time, but really liked BlackoutRO.. became one of the best PVP players on that server

BTW I'm here looking for Riotblade.. is he still around? its very important..

Hello, I'm Riotblade's irl brother. Decided to visit this website on a whim. I remember I once logged into his GM account and started dropping a bunch of boss cards and he was pissed (don't remember if it was this server or not.) I guess if there is absolutely something you need to get to Riotblade, you can PM me, although I don't know how often I would be checking here.

Still around. Decided to check back in because I wanted to show someone who similar an RO Lunatic was to LoL's Poro, so I got a bit nostalgic =P

I actually decided to give RO a try again for a few weeks a couple years back on NovaRO. Not sure if it was the server, or just playing solo, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. I keep hoping for a good game (read: not Tree of Saviour) to come along and be the spiritual successor to RO, but it never happens v_v

wow an UnknownSoldier, been almost 20 years haven't it?  (from those times you afk in irc for days and days)  Anyway, I actually haven't talk to you much only remember your name lol.

Haha Tree of Saviour, I wonder how that one is doing.  It was for many years anticipated to be the RO killer, after the launch I didn't hear much about it.

Too bad all the emulation projects on Tree of Savior died. I think the core of it, like graphics and music and even size of the world are great. Even the mechanical gameplay is great and the class system. But they never really managed to put this into a perfect shell like Ragnarok Online did.

Quote from: yCHaha Tree of Saviour, I wonder how that one is doing.  It was for many years anticipated to be the RO killer, after the launch I didn't hear much about it.
Long story short. When it released it was pretty cool, amazing graphics, music and class system. And compared to RO, basically no position lag despite it being rather fast paced.
The main problem of me and many other RO fans was that it was basically 100% linear. It had two quest lines you could switch between but that was about as far as decisions went. And there were some really important drops hidden behind rare instanced drops. So there goes exploration and hi always doing the same thing like all other MMORPGs.
It was still a great game in my opinion. But the linearity of it bothered me (might as well play RO Renewal then lol).

But over times things changed for the worse. In order to fight bots and inflation they completely ruined the game by basically removing(!) the open world aspects of the game and making it slowly fully instanced. They made the instances so hard that no bot could potentially beat them, but that also alienated new players. In the end they went one step further and required endgame gear to even join the instances, completely locking out new players from the game.

Then they were like "hmm we don't get any new players, so the remaining 100 need to pay for the servers" and started heavy gacha where even veterans were locked out of the game if they didn't invest at least $500 per month.

Another thing I really hated was that they started these daily events were you were basically forced to play every single day for an hour or so, just so you don't miss out on something important.

Guys I can't believe some of you are still on here. I made an account to share with you some love. I was the original owner of this server and was just looking through some old files and came across this place, I can't say more than enough about how impressive it is to still stay in contact with some old veterans of the server. I really want to say how I randomly been missing some old friends, you all are no exception I remember almost every player on that server and wish I still had some of the old database files to possibly have some kind of connection to old players but it's as far as I know long lost (unless I run across an old burned backup DVD I made back in the day which is unlikely as I've had my house burn down since D:)

Anyways, I've been just hanging in there, nothing crazy about me has really changed since the start of the server, I mean other than what has it been 15 or 20 years since the start? I think the server was officially opened in 2003 so coming on 20 years now if I remember. Hope to hear from you guys, anyone will do, it's been kinda lame not having an outlet to keep friends together like I did with the old server in MattRO but feel free to find me in any other game I play, I always try to use the name mattaspira so you can search for me basically any game I play and I'll have that account setup been like that for years.

Would be nice to know some of you all are still alive lol. Mainly some of my now distant friend Heehaw, Riot, Aura, NBK, UNK Soldier, Kamaniki, Ghostie, as well as everyone else I honestly miss the good old days of RO. To be honest, I sat in Prontera so many of my highschool days responding to peoples issues in game, as well as hosting events, and programming code for the Athena server scripts I ran to this day; when it's too quiet around and I listen hard enough in silence the main theme of that city can still be heard lol. It's perma-burned in my brain to replace silence hah. That's probably just too much now though, I'll try to check and see if anyone else is out there 20 years later. (:

Ha, so after that many years, the final boss Matt shown up.  You are as rare as Koldar (did I spell this right?), he also popped into my discord a while ago.  Don't have much memory of playing the game with you since you were the admin, mostly hear stories of you from Riot.  Thanks for dropping by to complete the picture xD

Still around. Decided to check back in because I wanted to show someone who similar an RO Lunatic was to LoL's Poro, so I got a bit nostalgic =P

I actually decided to give RO a try again for a few weeks a couple years back on NovaRO. Not sure if it was the server, or just playing solo, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. I keep hoping for a good game (read: not Tree of Saviour) to come along and be the spiritual successor to RO, but it never happens v_v

Yoooo my man US lets go back and play FFXI on a private server... I just burned myself out on Lost Ark.... Holy s*** MattRO sighting!!!

Quote from: mattaspira on Apr 28, 2022, 05:36 AMGuys I can't believe some of you are still on here. I made an account to share with you some love. I was the original owner of this server and was just looking through some old files and came across this place, I can't say more than enough about how impressive it is to still stay in contact with some old veterans of the server. I really want to say how I randomly been missing some old friends, you all are no exception I remember almost every player on that server and wish I still had some of the old database files to possibly have some kind of connection to old players but it's as far as I know long lost (unless I run across an old burned backup DVD I made back in the day which is unlikely as I've had my house burn down since D:)

Anyways, I've been just hanging in there, nothing crazy about me has really changed since the start of the server, I mean other than what has it been 15 or 20 years since the start? I think the server was officially opened in 2003 so coming on 20 years now if I remember. Hope to hear from you guys, anyone will do, it's been kinda lame not having an outlet to keep friends together like I did with the old server in MattRO but feel free to find me in any other game I play, I always try to use the name mattaspira so you can search for me basically any game I play and I'll have that account setup been like that for years.

Would be nice to know some of you all are still alive lol. Mainly some of my now distant friend Heehaw, Riot, Aura, NBK, UNK Soldier, Kamaniki, Ghostie, as well as everyone else I honestly miss the good old days of RO. To be honest, I sat in Prontera so many of my highschool days responding to peoples issues in game, as well as hosting events, and programming code for the Athena server scripts I ran to this day; when it's too quiet around and I listen hard enough in silence the main theme of that city can still be heard lol. It's perma-burned in my brain to replace silence hah. That's probably just too much now though, I'll try to check and see if anyone else is out there 20 years later. (:

I was poking around here today because someone introduced me to the Return to Morroc server a day before it closed down, and I started remembering the times on MattRO. And by that I mean cringing incredibly hard at some of the s*** I did as a teenager on the server. I distinctly recall taking applications for more GM's with an incredibly smooth brain idea of rejecting everyone, and only seriously considering those who told me rejecting them wasn't fair. Hoo boy was I a dumb dumb.

It's too bad I never saved the server files. I remember you gave me a copy of the database to poke around in, but looking at the stuff which I backed up in the early 2000's and still have, those weren't among them.

I actually played on Horizon last year at launch but didn't have the time to fully commit. That was probably the single largest FFXI private server launch ever, and I'm sad I couldn't play more.
