I've been playing EpyllionRO for a few weeks now and I think the first thing I noticed when I joined was the attentiveness of the GMs. Theres always at least one available at any of the weird hours of the day and they all seem extremely open and friendly to us players. I recieved a warm welcome from them since I was one of the first players to join. And you can tell they work hard to update the server, because theres always new features that get implemented and bugs that get fixed.
The population so far is quite small. Average of around 10 players and theres only around 2 or 3 guilds but everyone seems very friendly. Theres a real sense of community here that I havent really seen on any other server. I really would like to see it grow, that way there can be more guild competition and stuff. This is probably the biggest downside of as rightnow. But the server is pretty new so thats to be expected I guess.
Stability wise, the server has been fantastic. Theres generally been zero lag throughout the day and the only times theres a restart is when GM's are doing an update. The one day that the server experienced lag, the admin was able to quickly contact his host and resolve the problem without much trouble.
Every complaint,bug,issue that players have is listened to with open ears by the GM team. They even encourage players to write suggestions on their forums.
Also, even with the small population the GMs have been strict on banning bots. Just the other day they announced they had found 2 and IP banned them.
The rates are currently 20x/20x/10x for their grand opening event. But thats only until the end of August. Then they plan to bring it back down to the stated 10x/10x/10x. I'm really hoping more players decide to join (and maybe join my guild) That will really make this server special. So yeah if you looking for a good stable lowrate with fun players, come check this one out.
