The best mid rate server.

The best mid rate server.
Post your opinion and thoroughly excogitate why you think ____RO is the best mid rate server.

[Rbread]

Best is so opinionated.  Therefore, none are the best.

[Zone]

It gets people to post

[Skotlex]

Deja vu....
The winner is NONE, medium rates stopped being popular a year or two ago :B

[Zone]

lol, well, maybe someone who has a mid-rate server will at least post.

[Ashe]

Hm, EpiphanyRO had/has an incredibly community, even if it was small when I played it.
Almost all of their players that spoke english were all on Ventrilo, it was insane fun to play and talk to them.

[NikitaDarkstar]

Well I play underworldRO and has enjoyed doing so for a long time now, but as has been said none are universally best, that would mean it meets everyones creteria for what they want in a mid-rate server, and thats simply not going to happen

[Skotlex]

You can always use statistics to determine a statistically best server!

The best democratic server: the one the most people vote for.
The best economic server: the one that collects the most donations.
The best drama server: the one that has the longest flame threads.

I am sure you can think of a few more...

[NikitaDarkstar]

Ahh but you know what they say Skotlex; "There are three types of lies. Lies, damn lies and statistics."

I happened to have played on EssenceRo for awhile now, have a wizzard, but moved to a lower rate server with friends of a Guild I belong to, (did not want to leave my youngsters), but I have to admit that the population was friendly, very little KSing existed and if it did happen an appology was received, the prices for equips and cards were fantastic (decent godly items too), alot of people on at one time, rotating WOE castle wars, the warping was fantastic (every level was warpable), @storage available, can't say more. I found Essence to be a real find, if I get bored or our present server has a problem I go on it to while the time!

Hrm~ not rebirth xD. My first server and had some issues. >.>; But at least I like the huge population.

EarthBound was okay. I'm trying to get on essense but I get this error than I'm still in the process of fixing.

[gsej3ct]

gagRO - is da best!

http://www.gamesource.dk

Well, gagRO offer alot of content to a midrate server, the server is up to date, running stable.
The survival of the server are not connected to the amoungh of donations made, and even with donations you wont get advg. pvp items, its quite good balanced.
gagRO should get the interests for midrates up again.

[Ansuz Isaz]

So far, I've got to say EssenceRO is the best in terms of mid rates. =P I'm still toying around with it a little, and I haven't really got involved in the community yet. Still, it has a lot of quests, minigames, and other features that simply makes it interesting.

[overkill]

maybe u also can try to vaizard ro i think is a good and best server 

[Infection]

Only mid rates I had played were Dusk RO, and Feel RO.

Feel having the better community, and Dusk having a bit more balance on the custom side. [ unless they had updated their customs within the past year? ]

[Hanyuu]

Just-RO might have been the best for a little while until they added new donations that, in my opinion, became a little overpowering. It had a nice woe, it had a decent population for a midrate, it used to have balanced customs but now it's kinda going downhill.

[Rudolph Zyaber]

Essence was good for awhile, but the community is getting bad, the GMs are kinda slow (but who can blame them, there's only 3 competent ones) and they aren't uptodate with the latest official stuff like WoE SE.

[Aris]

I enjoy Raije Ro...

[Hanyuu]

I liked Raije too, woe was fun and the community were so nice to me. ^^ Too bad the people I really wanted to play with moved on. :x

[Ansuz Isaz]

I like Raije because good friends used to play with still reside within the game - or, at least, a few of them. xD I'm assuming Kenkaru and Dakka still play there, anyway.

In terms of JustRO, a little incident within a now-locked thread in the suggestions thread made me frown. Nothing too bad, but enough to make me... wary? I'm a paranoid person. xD The community is pretty nice though. n_n

Essence's community is going bad only because they have far, far too many members. xD Which means the chance that you run into the jerks that ruin it increases considerably. As far as I was aware, most of the decent people do what they always do when they notice these people in higher numbers: made a series of semi-small guilds to collect as many good players that fit their style of friends as they can find.

[Sarin]

I was thinking about joining Raije at one point too. But then I found out there are already people with crazily overupped stuff (like +9 tidals) and/or several miniboss/MvP cards. I don't like starting at server where I'd have to spend months with my laziness before getting equips to compete with the top. Same for EpiphanyRO, these servers have almost ideal layout for me...if either of them was wiped, I'd join for sure.

[Hanyuu]

I prefer the challenge, since with a midrate you actually can catch up to players who have been there for months. It only took me about four days of tough grinding to get 3 +10 tidals. I tend to stray away from places that have been wiped, since then it wouldnt be as fun or easy. Zeny (or tokkens/cards) makes the ro MR go around.

[Sarin]

You aren't me I spend 2-5 hours at RO each day at most, with half of the time just sitting in town and chatting. So it would take me like four weeks, not days. If I would be lucky.

[Aris]

Lol dumb reason I M O.

Those people you start with on a new server will eventually get those gears so you'll be hunting for them also. Pretty much the same thing in the end.

+ getting +9 gears and crap is easy with 20X x_x.

[Hanyuu]

People who work harder deserve the gear they have, as opposed to people who dont work as hard. I'm a server hopper, I've joined so many well established and a lot of small servers too. Some were opened for months, and in a matter of a few days I was able to get my gear and compete with other top players of that server. For my first day I spent maybe 12 hours trying to get to know everything, then the next few days I only spend 2-6 hours getting ready for a woe or asking people to pvp me. Top players are the best for a reason. (unless they donate just to get evrything)

[Sarin]

That's a matter of perspective. I join midrate server to be able to get in action within few weeks of lazy playing. When I have to work well over month to be competetive, I'd rather go to lowrate...

Also I don't like people saying they're top just because they have time to grind such gears.

[Hanyuu]

Well, even with only a few weeks of lazily playing and chatting, most people should be ready to woe within two weeks. Basic gear is sometimes good enough. Who really needs +9 tidals?

Top = best. You kinda dont get to be the best if you didnt put at least some effort into it.

...this thread is getting off-topic. I'm out.

[Helrouis]

This thread became an advertisement lol.

[Ansuz Isaz]

It wasn't to begin with? xD

Personal view of Mid-rates is a server for the slightly more casual experience who still wants something more traditional. I've got to say I prefer a mid-rate where you have to put some effort in your work. =P If it takes less than a month to obtain optimum gear, then it's not too fun. Then again, as Hanyuu says, by two weeks one should have enough basic equipment to be Woe-able. n_n

For me, the feel of a mid rate is somewhat easy, though you just need to burn a little amount of time to get what you want. I still prefer a high rate though.
