Official server's population?

leokimah · Sep 23, 2014, 02:25 PM

It's because jRO doesn't have to deal with the gravity korean overlords to implement a large majority of their changes. I'm not sure how they pulled that off? In the end it makes the server much more community friendly.

Meanwhile iRO (warpportal) doesn't do much aside from a seasonal exp, hat quest or box gambling event here and there. They just do what they are told because it's less about the games health and more about making money. Hence why 90% of the server is bots.

Companies like Warpportal are disgusting.

iRO is boring, laggy and full of bots. The pay2win is disgusting. f2play Events are minimal. Most events are pay based events. They dont listen to suggestions yet for some odd reason they have suggestions and improvements area. The lack of offline vending in official RO is a big disappointment . That and the their refusal to find a solution end spammer bots in town.

PVE is dead because of the Grandpa Turn in quests. People only play the turn in maps. Playing regular maps is almost non existent since regular maps are full of bots. For example - the savage map has 40-50 bots at any given time. Reporting bots is difficult since the GMs makes you jump through a lot of E paperwork.

Shadow Chasers are too over powered with debuffs. RKs are one trick ponies in war - OP with tao card. The constant Bloody branches from pay boxes has resulted in a lot of MVP cards which is owned by the servers leet. Safe Certs, Enriched ores and gears designed to make people buy the first 2 get annoying.

I'd say iRO doesnt have more than 1000 individuals. Of which 400 play at any point. 1500+ farmer Bots, Spammer bots, Vendor bots and then Regular vends and dual clients.

jRO has their own version of RO since, if I remember it right, they own the RO trademark and Gravity? Something like that but I do know that they've their own license of RO where they can do whatever they want with it for years.

bRO is similar to iRO but probably a bit more ridiculous since, according to a friend, some people even pvp with pre-trans classes with MVP cards like swordmans with Taos, mages with hibrams, etc.

Yes, jRO owns over 50% of Gravity and is thus the one who gets to make calls about things implemented on their server and whatnot. As for leveling in there...

I'll talk about third classes now. On everywhere else, as far as I know, your job will be maxed out last. jRO? Yeeeeeah you can have job 45 and such before you're even close to 150 base! Not the case on the officials I have played on (iRO & fRO).

Also GX dealing 150k per hit on Bio 3/4 MVPs? Um yeah. No.

The only good thing jRO has going for itself are the costumes they make for looks. The rest I and many others from other servers have deemed OP'd BS.

Still remember the bRO player QQ because bRO selling Tao cheaply in cash shop (50$ IIRC) instantly breaking the server from that point which almost everyone running with Tao.

^ LOL

I jumped ship when iRO added a cash shop back in like 2007? It only got worse after that.

I am re fueling this topic ,because the info on it is now old.i wasnt sure if i should creat a new topic, or make use of this one. i thought it maybe interesting ,to be able to compare new info(if anyone gives me any) with old one.

So recently i came back wanting to play RO again, and ofcorse my first option was OriginsRO. but unfortunately i wasnt able to play there ,for technical reasons. my second option was a server called NovaRO ,which i quickly quit when i found out about this npc called "Gramps" ,that basicaly conditions your entire journey. i am not ok with that, so i left.

now i am stuck...there is Thor Server ,but their population seems a bit small. there is TalonRO ,but no way i am going there. so now i am thinking about the official servers.

i would realy appreciate it, if anyone could give me an update ,on the official servers current populations ,and give me advice on where it would be a good place, to play. even if its not an official server ,but some low rates server thats not on the ratemyserver list ,would be ok. i am ok with both renewal and pre renewal ,although i would prefer pre renewal.

Gramps is an official thing though.

I'm wondering if there is still a Thai official server or the populated ones posted here and there are all private servers. I've seen Thai RO videos get like 20k- 100k views in just a few days or a week.

yC · Sep 11, 2016, 05:08 PM

There was a new Thai official server opened just this July. I think the previously licensed company closed the game and a new server licensed to a different company started shortly after. This should be the website: https://ro.exe.in.th/main

Unfortunately they ask for private information, on their registration. i am not ok with giving my phone number ,and ID.

You can choose your own way to level up, you don't have to do Gramps.

Back on topic, Ragial has the iRO populations listed here: https://ropd.info/?mode=spop
No idea how accurate it is though.
