Where to begin, I don't know where to begin so I'll begin 3 years ago, when it first opened.
Everyone was noob and equipless, but the WoE attendance was still rising noticably. There was always tons of drama, in-between guilds and sometimes GMs, but that never stopped anybody from running the server well. Soon guilds were noticable and there were always the enemies and the good guys. After every WoE, a few hundred people(at least, me being one of them) go to the forums and flame other guilds and discuss how WoE went and post their own screen shots. It's great, because it keeps the guild drama at its maximum, and provides even more fun for the upcoming WoEs. Later when people started getting Ghostrings, MVP cards and +9/10 gears and it got really intense. WoE attendance climbed suddenly from 2000's to 3000's! At the time, we were comparable to an actual official server (!!) which was exciting for everyone, and poeple still kept on coming. Euph once made a promo video for everyone that shows how intense euph was, you can still probably find it on Youtube, where people fill your screen up lol (I was also there!
). EuphRO was at the top for a good 1.5-2 years (I forget exactly)
All in all, the server came to an end because of senseless, and avoidable GM drama. Naming people or guilds has no point in a thread like this, since it would only lead to flame, so that won't happen. At least the players of EuphRO can say that they stayed in a private server that lasted longer and was more active than any other. However, EuphRO is back, and within a month EuphRO, it was already competing with the previously top servers. Now EuphRO has been running for about 8 months or so is apparently, at the top of low-rate private server competition once again, and the player counts are steadily increasing again.
As far as I remember, the server was always lagless with an exception of odd moments and crashes that get fixed fast anyway. It wasn't so lagless when it first started, which was yearsss ago anyway, but is lagless now. There's a donation system that works quite well, and it excludes opportunities for people to become overpowered, as it offers items that don't really affect your game much. Some items include custom donation hats and auras that don't affect game (only gameplay!) , but nothing imbalanced such as OCA.
There's a lot more to say, but I guess I sum'd it all in a nutshell about EuphRO, for this time we hope to last much longer and become more successful than last time .
Oh and a side note, this is more of an informational thread for people who didn't know about the past and present of EuphRO rather than a "COME JOIN US WE'RE LEET" thread . Have a nice day!
