A few things to say since I used to be a former GenerationRO player.
First and foremost, there seems to be some data left considering that at the very least the web server is still up. You can even access the forums although you can't log into it. Reason being? This IP right here. The sclientinfo even pointed to generation-ro.net.
http://85.17.170.196/ and
http://85.17.170.196/forum which both work. The forums are lacking a format though everything is accessable within the forum without logging in.
You can even connect to
http://85.17.170.196/cp and log in. Funny thing is though, on the server status it says that everything is up with 60 players which makes it very easy to assume that this entire time, the head GM nicknamed Lynxx, had fake users since a GM that I knew personally could not find where there mysterious 60+ players were overnight when all of the maps were empty. So while the a lower level GM who was in our guild and the 5 of us were on overnight and saw 60ish players surprised at how many people were on and after bot hunting on every map including fields and dungeons we probably were the only actual ones on the server late night with the mysterious 60 players hiding somewhere.
I did tried using the IP on the sclientinfo instead of the original url but it did not work unfortunately.

Lynxx was also very inactive for a head GM who didn't give access to scripts to any other GM. There was also no way of telling when he would log in in case any issues had to be brought up. It seemed very disorganized and I'd say some of the GMs were left clueless on what had to be done at certain times defaulting to, "Gotta wait till Lynxx comes back." This trend seems to be common considering that I read a post on RMS a few days ago concerning inactive server owners. It's quite a shame. In the end, I advise that any affiliation with Lynxx and private server be taken with a considerable doubt at its future stability. In the end, there's always a way to make contact to someone about anything. A simple email informing his own GM team that he was shutting down the server would've sufficed. Instead he left without a clue leaving several people upset and his reputation behind which was why GenerationRO took off with the people that it did in the first place.

I've read the Global Rules and the Server Discussion guideline and saw nothing in terms of double-posting. Bumping this out of necessity. I apologize if I did violate a rule and would ask for a mod to take care of this accordinglySeems like there is an update in light of the GenerationRO server going down.
According to the first post of this thread, a person I knew from the server not in my guild and a fellow guildie, a GM contacted the host and was told it was cancelled. Despite this, I've shown the IP still works. My guildie told me that his friend spoke with a former "Event GM" and then promoted to "Adminstrator" named Cere. According to him, she contacted the host and mentioned a key fact that all the data was erased. My friend also saw a pasted conversation from another GM named Yukimora which said the same thing but did not mention Cere contacting the host.
Now, the most interesting bit of this is this picture if you examine the date.
So Cere says that the host was cancelled and data was deleted. Somehow, you can connect through everything with this IP somewhat and the server status says that all the servers are up. Not to mention, this person managed to get in. Interesting.
I give my regards to Lynxx for lack of notification on his status and for his inactivity and regards to Cere and Yukimora for also not being clear and possibly lying to EVERYONE about this by saying a host was cancelled and that all data was erased when it is there in plain sight. Even my characters and my accounts are there with all their items. Sounds like deletion to me.
