Main GM quits RagnarokRevolution.

So...
I dunno if anyone even has heard of Ragnarok Revolution, but it's been around since late 2004.

Well, after 4 years of headaches, stress, etc I have passed management of RRO to someone else.

The reasons I quit:
  • Users continued to disrespect me and the GM team after years of service and dedication.
  • Calling me a "corrupted GM" when all I have ever done is try to help. Sure I get angry sometimes, but who hasnt? And the only reason I ever got pissed was because of the stress brought on from users.
  • Tons of stress brought on from very annoying users that wouldn't follow the rules and continue to produce rumors left and right.

I will continue to dev for eAthena and will continue to provide RRO with scripts and customizations, but I won't be running the show any longer.

What are your opinions of this? What I mean is, what is your opinions of a GM of 4 years leaven his server to someone else due to the users?

I mean no disrespect toward you man, but I don't ... get it. You may have been head GM, but did you get paid for your work? If not, I don't know why you bothered for as long as you did. That's a lot of time to devote to something and get so little back from it.

The stress is immense. I'm glad you're done with that bsns.

What kind of responses are you hoping to get from this thread?

Perhaps support. Perhaps enmity.

Though really if it has been going that bad for a long time, why didn't ya quit earlier? What's the point on continuing doing something when you both A. don't get anything tangible out of it, and B. you don't get any joy from doing it?

In an ideal world we only do what brings us more joy and happiness.
In a practical world we do what is required to pay the bills.
In what kind of world you just torment yourself for the sake of it?

to those that are asking why I ran it for so long, its simple really; I love RO, and I love providing others with a service to play RO for free, it allows them to play a fun mmo for no cost.

I don't expect anything from this thread, its simply a thread i thought others would enjoy replying to if they have seen or have had the same situations (quitting what they love due to the stress brought on from the users).

Don't see why you would think i made this to get something out if it. seems like all anyone ever thinks is 'why would u do/make this?', cant a person do/make something just because they feel a need/want to?

Remember, this section is for server discussions, and seeing as how it fits the category, i assumed it would fit.

Maybe Kisuka is looking for empathy, regardless of my thoughts on the server I can sympathize with the situation. Having a RO server has wonderful aspects, but there is always negative ones as well. There's good and there's bad people in the world, and every variation in between. With a large population you're bound to have bad apples who's only kick in life seems to make others miserable. Having to "take crap" is easier for some people than others, but we all have our limits.

I know exactly the kind of players he/she is talking about, the kind who break the rules left and right and then get mad for being punished over it, throw a tantrum and will insult you and/or the server in every way they can, be it claims of corruption, bias, imba, calling you names, anything expect realizing that they brought the punishment upon themselves and fully deserved it. To them it's much easier to blame someone else than to realize their faults. They're the kind of players that can ruin a server, or at least ruin your experience.

To try and answer Skotlex's perplexity (even though the question is not directed at me), there's also some really really good players who are nice, fun and happy, who are grateful for the work you do, that's what keeps us going. Factually the good kind of players far outweighs the baddies, we just tend to notice them more because they get on our nerves.
heRO is a great friendly, sociable yet WoE active, unique and fun server of 5/5/3 rates with 400+ players, give it a try!

Thing that sucks though Pandora is RRO has been around since early 2005 and never has got past 200 players, so it actually has more bad players then good, which sucks horribly. In fact about 70% of the server is filipinos; now im not one to trash a race but im sure most if not all server owners have dealt with their annoyance.

Good example of dedication towards a server.

I dunno, I might return as the main GM if the current replacement I hired can fix the issues with the current users. Hopefully that will be the case. Because I love running that server x.x I don't wanna stop running it forever. There is no way I'll let almost 5 years of work go to waste.

Has anyone else heard about a situation like this? Or am I the first? XD

It happens all the time, but if you really wanted to quit I doubt you would make a post about it. Not to mention  you mention your quiting in other threads as well. It seems like you want someone to try and talk you back into your position.

Five years of work that ultimately amount to nothing. Sorry guy.
