We are recruiting individuals who are passionate, fair, and who are knowledgeable of Ragnarok Online, its mechanics, and private servers in general. The goal: to join servers and review them as to grade their potential (at that point in time) for others to view, and as to help the administrators improve the first impression and accessibility of their client, information, and features in general.

We offer critique, suggestions, and overall just a new perception of the server in question for players and administrators to review and consider.

Accepted applicants are expected to write one review a month (500+ words; min. 1h in-game experience), preferably with video/audio components of 15-30min (not mandatory).

Application Rubric

You must include the following information in your application:

- Your name
- Your age
- Your MSN/Skype
- Your timezone
- Your rates of choice
- Your years of experience as a player
- List of servers played in the past

- Why do you wish to acquire a volunteer position as a reviewer at FIRST?
- What qualities or talents can you offer our existing team? i.e. other languages, experience
- When you're looking for a "good" server, what characteristics / features do you want in particular?

This will help with your Staff Biography should you be accepted.

"Other Information"
1) Applications are to be submitted in English, as to be understood by the current FIRST staff.

2) There are no age limits to qualify for a position; however, you are expected to have at least six months playing experience in the server type of choice (LR, MR, HR, SHR).

3) All positions are voluntary and thus non-paid.

4) Positions are open to individuals who currently do not possess a staff position on a Ragnarok server with the same rates as those of which the individual is applying to review.

i.e. If you play an MR, you cannot apply to review MR servers, as your opinions may be biased / skewed due to comparison or simply to bring your currently-playing server into a better position.

5) You must have acceptable writing skills in order to qualify. We only accept quality reviews; this means, good punctuation and sentence structure, great grammar, etc. We aren't Nazis about this; however, you should be able to write properly. No slang. No "chat" language.

6) If approved, you must consent to applying for and sharing your MSN or Skype address. We do not approve of AIM, ICQ, YIM, etc.

7) If approved, you must also consent to the staff guidelines (which will follow the hiring process).

8) All applications which do not comply with these guidelines will be ignored.

9) You are expected to write one review a month (500+ words; min. 1h in-game experience), preferably with video/audio components of 15-30min (not mandatory).

Don't wanna apply but. I would like to recommend Ganondorf for the job. :p


Look Adelie! Look! Stupid people! Stupid people everywhere!

Usagimimi

We'll be shifting to SMF in a bit, so posting here is probably better.

And I know Ganondorf from Pumpkin; maybe he'll apply.

Bump. Temp splash page up. New forum theme.

Awaiting a cleaner splash page from Poki (30$)

Still recruiting! :3 if you don't feel comfortable applying here, apply on our board, or send me a PM.

Bump.

FIRST has been inactive for about three weeks due to medical reasons, but we are still looking for reviewers! We have about five reviews requested which will take a month or so by myself, so hoping to see some applications to decrease the volume.

PM if interested / post here / apply on the board!

Bumpityboo.

We have lost all previous staff apart from myself and Yukino. Still looking for LR/MR/HR&SHR reviewers.

Boompboompboompboompboompboomp.

ReverieRO review is almost done. Still looking for staffers.

Yukino

Just wanted to say that we are always looking for more reviewers! We got a new volunteer recently, but we are still searching for staff members and additional volunteers. There will be more updates soon once things get less busier for Yusifer and I and that FIRST gets more staff members. Reviews are still in progress nevertheless!

Thank you for your time! Our application section is on our community boards (guidelines are provided). For more details, feel free to send a Personal Message (PM) over the forums to one of the Administrators there!

Thanks a bunch~

Hrm. I'd like to try to help, but I'm not sure how good I'd be.
Is there a way I could make a review of my experience with a server I played in the past, just as a kind of template? Of course the review would be dated, this would just be a way for you to see if I would be acceptable or not.
Sing like it's the last song you'll ever sing.

Because I'm about to cast Lex Divina on you!

Yukino

Since Yusifer is busy at the moment, I'll help and say that's fine =D. However, that review won't be representative of a FIRST submission since it's not your first impression. I'm assuming you meant this is for your application ^^. You can send it over a PM if you'd like (to both Yusifer and me)! For new servers that you would like to try, you can submit them once you join the team~

Check our forums out for details about the process! We have a staff section that's for any reviews in progress (staff can post there before public submission). We have a general template for members to follow to better help organize points, but members are free to edit it a bit. It's posted on our forums as well.

Thanks for taking interest! We definitely need more reviewers and get our activity back <3! Would love to see your review soon ;D~

Just to clarify, you want me to send it to both of you, right?

No problem. I'm gonna start that sample review now. As for the interest part, personally I think this'd be great for me! Helps me work on my writing skills, gives me something to do with my life, helps others, it involves Ragnarok Online, and helps me check out servers! If I get accepted. The only way this would be better is if it came with minimum wage! /heh
