Honest review of VividRO

[Nanako]

PS- if you've been looking around in the forum shoutbox, you'll probably notice that the server has been hacked, server is in a very bad shape and is closing it's doors, so i'm not part of the team anymore. tho if you still have any questions, I'm here to answer them since i was still a part of this team.

I'm gonna go search for another server, and i hope the players of vividro find a nice new home. good luck on your journey.

Wait whaaaaat!? Noooo! After such a long search, I finally found something to call my home again... So, there's zero chance it's coming back?
If so... Do you got any alternatives maybe?

[IvoryMouse]

So. From my understanding of this QQ thread. A player is salty because he got banned. Ranted. Admin/GM's come in and defend their server. Only for it to go down in the long run. Now if this doesn't sound like a cash grab, I don't know what does. If you're going to waste people's time and try to steal their money, then actually make it believable. You're not a "new" server if that's the case, you're using rehashed stuff from an old server model and from the sound of it, didn't work in the first place. Dead servers need to stay dead. Not come back to haunt players who have already had bad relations with it and will have even worse relations with it's reborn predecessor.  This is why the community is s*** now, if you can't be honest an go, "Well yeah, I need the money to pay for X but in return I will give you Y." Then don't run the server. I know a few servers that don't take donations and honestly they're damn good. If you're a server that needs to run off donations then one of two things is probably true.

1. You don't have a well paying job to cover server cost.
2. Jobless and have no money to pay for server cost period.

I don't see why people are so greedy in their attempt to swindle people out of their money and then act like they did nothing wrong. I'm glad Vivid was a 99/70 server. Since I don't mess with those rates to begin with, but for the future, if players don't like you, don't rear your ugly head here again or the same result will happen and you'll eventually be put on the Wall of Shame.

Also playing Devil's Advocate.

To you people who come on RMS and make a whole drama fest from your review. Stop it. Give your honest review and move the hell on. If it's a corruption report you're going for, then there's an inbox for a reason. Start using it, otherwise keep your QQ crap off the forums. It's a waste of time to read walls of text with little more than you throwing a temper tantrum about being banned and only giving half the story only for the GM's or Admin to come on, defend their server from your raging accusation, then they have to explain the full story and to give proof, and 90% of the time I hate to say it the Admin will be right, since they're catching you in the act and in the en it makes you look entirely foolish and rather stupid. So for future post, don't flood the review board with your crap. STOP IT!

Tell me now if im wrong yeah?

I've been up all night trying to fix it you piece of s*** cock sucker f*** face. The world doesn't need more ungrateful cunts like you.

-Reality

Edit: Why the hell are s*** and f*** censored but not cunts or cock. Either way, f*** you, I'm doing everything I can.

And I made no f***ing money off Aeon or Vivid. Wanna f***ing see my paypal account? I'm broke. Vivid going down is most likely causing me to lose my apartment at the end of this month. So yeah. Eat a f***ing d***.

[Pseudonym]

A-holes tend to be the loudest, so I feel compelled to come and add my quiet appreciation and respect to the administration of Vivid RO. The server was excellent. Reality worked hard, and gave users a quality mid-rate, pre-renewal experience. It's unfortunate that there is such scum involved in RO pservers.

Best server i have ever played on.. No ingame corruption, Supportive players And Staff...I remember Gm reality and Luna sitting with me for like an hour or so to explain me the whole paladin class, stats and equipments to do bio 3 nd Og hunting....and after that i was lucky enough to get my first Orleans glove in like one day  ...As I returned to playing back Ro after like 4 years... i couldnt recollect right information about all classes...Its not a P2W server like any other Ro server..i Have never donated to this server....and from my experience one can acquire all items in donation shop in like one week if one knows to play the game and take a bit of efforts..Its a completely balanced server..One has to play the game and work a bit hard for equipping good gears...there are 2 great guilds on this server with experienced leaders..i got to learn a lot from my guild leader...He has 15 yeas of ro experience...never seen an experienced player like him to be honest...And the guilds are very much supportive towards new players joing Vivid Ro...Vivid was like a home for me and many other players ....the most satisfying and fair server i have ever played on....and i dont want to see it dying...due to some s***  hacker...who has hacked the server...Well leave that Guy to "Karma"....And i Want GM Reality....to just fix the server anyhow and Make it start working. This my Honest review on Vivid Ro...and honest review from a player who plays vivid Ro!!!... and not from someone who just judges a server by reading threads...and some negative reviews from other people...And yeah the staff is very transparent....Well i was actually planning on making my own server in 3 months..but after seeing this ro community..i feel its not worth it...Even though reality played fair, did so much to make a good ro server, I see people still accusing hom for s*** he didnt do...

An honest review From a Vivid Ro player

[Souiro]

I don't know Reality personally but on the 3 servers I have played on which he was a part of the server staff/team, I really enjoyed my time. I'm a nobody and I rarely ever chat with other players besides my real life friends who I always bring whenever I hop servers.
It hasn't been a month yet since VividRO opened so I really don't know why some of you guys are acting like there's been some kind of huge foul play that has been going on since the beginning and proclaiming the server is dead. It is true that the server's population has dropped but that's more likely the cause of some bad player's attitude towards other players in the server than the server's staff itself.   

I also admit to not having donated a cent on any server I played on because I'm not rich and the only thing I love to do in RO is PVM, farm, and do cute headgear quests. (Cake hat ftw, though) Vivid and Aeon while having donation items, these items are also accessible via quests in-game and is of course, harder to obtain than just donating so the donators have some incentive upon doing so. So I'm just lmao to some saying it is a pay to win server. Tbh, there is hardly few to no competition yet in the server as far as I have observed. Reality doesn't deserve any of this accusations, really.

Anyway, yeah. I just made this account today because I feel bad for you people constantly trying to soil a good GM and private server. And also because I felt it necessary to thank Reality for creating lots of quests for players to do in Vivid. Reality, keep on doing what you do because we haven't really started doing a lot of quests yet. It will be a shame not to have a chance to do them all   

Oh and before I forget, you probably don't remember but a few years back, you helped me a bit when I asked for a whitesmith's stats and gears. You basically gave me a guide so thanks for that Reality. 

[Nanako]

I'll pitch in...
I was on the server for just 5 days or so, but I really enjoyed my time there. Reality also helped me! I had a lot of questions, and he answered them all really kind. Even helped me with latency issues!
And I feel really bad for Reality now... This is such an unfair world...

[Kyuurei]

Is there still hope for this server? Or can it not be saved? I've been working these past few days and haven't tried logging on but I read that the server has been hacked? Sorry to hear that, it was a great server. But I haven't found anything about it being closed yet, only that Reality is working to fix it. So I'm just wondering if we could get a solid answer. And if you are planning to start another server could you provide my friends and I some information so we can join? We really liked the events and customs on VividRO. My only request would probably be make the rates 50/50/50 instead haha, I don't have as much time as I used to... Best of luck Reality! Hope you can reply to this!

This post is getting more interesting each and everyday!

I love the wave of 1-post-accounts here.

Meh, what are you implying? A lotta these people came to this place when they saw VividRO was down to see what happened. Then they saw this thread and wanted to reply.
At least, that's how it was for me!

[Turkeysalad]

This is abuse. Dude, you're worst than cookie & Yrvine. ur server dont last 3 months lel

To compare anyone to Cookie or Yrvine is just lol.

1) Reality spent his time constantly trying to work on and improve the server. When there was a battlegrounds problem (I didn't really know what it was about) he fixed it. When people posted on the forums about issues regarding their connectivity, he worked with them to solve the issue. There was never a moment where people complained about an issue that wasn't fixed, or a moment where people complained about GM absence or incompetence.

2) Reality hasn't disappeared or changed names after his server was hacked. He hasn't taken the money and ran like so many former server admins have done. He's still  working on the server. Is it his fault the server went down? No. Even before it went down we were informed that a certain admin not associated with the server had managed to cause a certain issue. This was broadcasted server-wide, so we were always aware of the issue, and later posted on the forums. A few hours after that I was informed of what had occurred by my guildmates. The server was hacked and damaged by someone and even as of now Reality is working to fix the damage caused by some immure butthurt prick.

If he was in fact seeking to run off like cookie has done sooo many times, why would he bother posting facebook updates about the issues  that he's facing. Why would he not try to move on to his next project instead of trying to fix the current one?

Every one of these negative comments have been baseless and simply aimed to attack a GM that so far has demonstrated determination and commitment to a server he worked hard to create.  The original thread maker pointed out issues that were discovered to be unfounded because HE WAS THE ISSUE

Then in your quest and Exii's quest for attention and e-fame and to just be annoying pieces of s*** you begin to speak of things that aren't even true. YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED THIS SEVER. Where are all these nonsensical accusations coming from? INB4 your next comment is "WOW LOOK AT REALITY'S LACKEY COMING TO SAVE HIS donkey". Btw, I've never even talked to the guy. I just joined VividRO to play with my brother.


Also, @Exii try to make your posts more coherent, trying to read them is like trying to decipher a riddle leading to the riches of ancient Egypt.

This server is pretty good, a bit too much BG based but some good ideas. Really fun to play this server.
