TL;DR(why are you on this forum then) : Overall Rating : 7.5
I've been playing DivinityRO for about two months now, and I thought it would be time to give my thoughts on the server.
DivinityRO is a 100x/100x/25x mid rate server with a fairly small community, peaked at 60 players, averaging at around 30-40 online during afternoon and evening US hours. They offer WoE, KoE, and lots of automated events. This being said, let's start the detailed review:
-----Server Ratings-----
Stability&Availability -- I give this a 6.5. The server itself has, to my knowledge, never been offline. However, on a few occasions, the web site has gone down(mainly due to maintenance), but when the site goes down, the patcher fails to complete and will not allow you to launch RO without using the bypasss(which many people do not know of). To worsen things, a very large website downtime happened during a Second Edition WoE and made for a very one sided battle(more on WoE later).
-----Community Ratings-----
Friendliness&Eventfulness -- I give this a 9. The community is very nice, though there will always be those 'hardcoresrsbsns' players that talk smack every chance they get. Most of the time when I see them act up, a gm puts them to rest pretty fast. As for eventfulness, there aren't many player-hosted events, though there are plenty of automated events as well as KoE.
-----Game Master Ratings-----
Friendliness -- I give this a 9. I've never seen a GM on this server blatantly abuse their powers, nor treat a player with disrespect without reason. GMs here are very friendly, especially to new members.
Availibility -- I give this a 10. I usually don't hand out perfect scores in areas like this, but DivinityRO definitely deserves a 10 in this. For the two months I've played here, there has ALWAYS been a GM on, this includes odd hours like late at night, early morning, and of course afternoon and in the evening. This really shocked me.
Helpfulness -- I give this a 9. Every @request I've made, I never had to wait more than three minutes for a reply. Most of the time I saw immediate results. Only one time did I get a generic "We'll look into it" response, which I later found out was because the lead GM had to address the issue himself and was not online.
-----Game-play Ratings-----
Economy -- I give this a 1. Holy crap, there is no economy on this server! The most player shops I've ever seen here is 3, and an NPC item mall has yet to be implemented.
Guild Competition -- I give this a 1. There are only a few guilds that actively WoE on this server, and each woe I've been to has been VERY one-sided. A particular guild has been around long enough to be very well equipped, and I believe the reason for this pubstomping WoE is just because other guilds do not take the time to gear themselves before attempting WoE(Multiple champs dying to a single sniper, that's just wrong).
Class Balance -- N/A : Not going to comment on this. Since there aren't many customs, it's pretty much as balanced as every other non-3rd class Ragnarok server. No skill modifications, no cards disabled, etc.
