AerialRO

[Shadowfax]

It seems after a grand total of 2-3 weeks, Yusifer's server AerialRO is dead. The first week the server was active and growing, but in the last two weeks the admin and staff left the server. Things went downhill from there, people were asking in the forums what was going on and got no response. The population itself began to drop, there is now usually no one online. Recently, the admin, Yusifer, came on to tell people that she is leaving the server and it is up to the person paying for hosting to decide what to do. He has made no response during any of this, leading everyone to believe the server is dead.

Here's the forum post that confirms that admin leaving:

And another one bites the dust.

Heh, to be honest it doesn't surprise me. I had my doubts on this server after what she did to Aria. And let's not forget ModernRO and LBRO. ;[
I feel bad for Azrak, though. He kinda got dragged into making a server with her. :|

O_O... what happened to it? I thought it was going pretty well with the huge boost of population number and the additions to the server/website.

[Shadowfax]

Apparently the person hosting (Azrak) has finally taken the server and website down after seeing this post, so you won't be able to see Yusifer's "reasons."  

I guess that's just even more reason to go ahead and delist it.

Well, I don't know the full story, but this is what I was told:
-Aerial started with 25~35 players.
-Yusfier -aka Safra'a- suddenly started being inactive. Other GMs started being inactive too.
-Population went from 20~30 to 5~10 quickly, because of GM inactivity, bots and stuff along the line.
-Yusifer came back a couple of days ago saying that her real life kept her too busy, and therefore, she had to quit. She gave the server to Azrak. At this point, the server was almost dead. The only chars you could see online were merchants, and -probably- some bots.
-Azrak decided to shut it down today.

I *think* that's pretty much about it. Kudos to Azrak for trying, though. I, too, feel bad

[Yukino]

Aw, the server had potential. The other GMs didn't give reasons about their inactivity?
Azrak can start the server up again after some changes... though it's hard work without others to help D:

Thanks for the story, Tom~! I get the gist of things now xD. Well, I hope another server won't encounter a similar situation.

At pstyle3: Don't need to be that blunt ><. She does try her best to make it work before. By the way, Yusifer is a girl XD.

I never suspected of Yusifer's competence, but I always suspected she wouldnt have time/dedication to be an admin.
It's just not as easy as people think =/
Kudos for trying the original ideas though

Anyone asked Yusifer in person?  I just sent a pm for any update if available.

[Tom~]

Yusifer made a topic on AerialRO's forums saying that she quitted because she didn't have enough time to take care of Aerial and her real life at the same time. She quitted, gave the server to Azrak, and Azrak closed it down.

Yusifer won't look at that PM. According to that topic, she quitted RO completely. That includes RMS.

[yC]

Tom, that sounds like a deja vu of a previously closed server where Yusifer worked... or was it Luna .. i always mix up the two  ...

alright, i'll delist it.

[Tom~]

AriaRO? That was Yusifer. CharmRO was Luna's server, and it got hacked

Anyway, thanks for delisting it I guess.

Honestly, I knew that this would happen the moment I saw the patcher screen, which is still in the Neoncube default. There was very little customization (or more of a "there's little work done before the launch") and I have to go inactive because I'm still attached to Lumina and my character is encountering errors every time I log in (which is unique to Aerial).

Yusifer leaving the Ragnarok community in many places at once is sign enough that her IRL concerns are real. (I want to respect her privacy by not disclosing what happened.)

Anyway, I'm sad that along with the server, my only Shaman's Coif in nine servers is gone too.
And farewell, Amphitrite.

[DarkDevine]

And please, no flame-wars and rage-topics regarding Yusifer's incompetence.
She at least has a real life and lives it, cares about it.

That really should be respected.
