I made a very negative, honest review of Revival of RO recently. In response, the sole admin responded to my review within the hour by deleting my character. Knowing how the admin behaves, including on his livestream and how he treats others in-game, I expected reprisal for this action. I had already decided on quitting the server and wasn't going to raise much of a fuss on my way out. Made a few troll posts on the Discord, was going to drop in on my character, warn people on #Main about the server, then drop some items.

But, hilariously, since he let me still have my account, the drama was brought out front-and-center in front of all the players, which many seem to be a dedicated and loyal base that have no issues with the server.

Needless to say, there was a lot of name-calling and other nonsense that went public. For some reason, he thought he was "doing an act of mercy" by giving my character back, but as I told him, I only wanted it back to give my items away (which he called noob items, because he's petty like that).

I had a little drop party with my weak items while him and his posse were trying to harass me out of the game with lame rhetorical attacks. Lots of grandstanding.

So, in summary: responded to bad review by punishing in-game, harassment, airing dirty laundry publicly, etc. Avoid.

Do you have any proof for this case?  Such as screenshots of conversation of why your character is missing or explanation of what happened to your account by the server staff?

Proof? I didn't take screenshots or anything, but the admin openly admitted it in my review thread. I think that counts right?

Let me "correct" my post since the admin "called me out on it": he didn't "delete my character" but "removed it from my account"; I wouldn't want to be caught splitting the wrong hairs here.

So, in summary, he punished my review on RMS by removing my character from my account, which he has personally attested to as well as multiple players (who literally are coming out to support him on my review thread) so even the pro-corrupt admin people are corroborating this particular fact.

You were able to get your character back upon asking, this is a simple misunderstanding because you and the server.  I see no place for me to get into a matter between you and the server.

I actually didn't ask to receive it back, and it wasn't a misunderstanding. He didn't "take away my character because he thought I was leaving." He explicitly stated he did so in direct retaliation for my review. He made a giant public scene asking his posse "whether I should give this scum his character back", which, once again, I didn't ask.

The point of my post was to point out that this server admin purposefully and vindictively retaliated against my review here on RMS, which I think is the point. Whether he returned the character or not does not negate the fact that he directly punished me for my review here on RMS.

I didn't make this post to have RMS intervene to get my character back. I made this post to report an action taken against me, a player and reviewer, because of content I created here in RMS. It is a report of an admin abusing his power in response to an RMS review. That is what this post is about.
