Title: OriginsRO
Post by: Kirchen on Mar 07, 2018, 07:34 PM
Its 4 years online, at first i was like okay hardstuck but then i gave it a chance. people sad, that past 3 months have been good for the server. normaly there were like 30-50 ppl online recently the amount of players online has risen alot. yeserday when i went offline there were 400 online, of course with autotrades, and they had their peak at 480 last woe. they have 4 guild woe in one castle with 15 or 20 ppl each guild. econemy is still very good after the years because of the amount of new players. the admin looks really legit too me. hes software devoloper himself and has put alot of work as far as i can tell into client and server.
semms that the server has future to me, since the server had so few players this long, and the gms still did work for the server
and its now rising
i mean legit 4 years online
just a few pservers can live up to that one
so i am gonna put my free time in this i guess because i am hella tierd of wasting my time on servers wich go down after 3 months anyway. I can realy recommend this server. i ve benn playing on this server now for 4 days.

I've been keeping an eye of the server. I have an account there but I stopped years ago due to the number of players. I see that it's making a good progress on the population. /ok

Can confirm.
Server is more alive than ever, 4 active WoE guilds competing, population reaching 480 during woe, 380-400 outside of WoE in peak hours, very healthy market, and still loyal to its core features: awesome control panel (very guild friendly with Masteraccount system, easy and secure guest access system) no cash shop, no broken items...)

Yes, I agree.. I server lived upto expectations and beyond. I had a char here made 3 years ago.. but due to peer's pressure I joined the other server to play along with them. Sadly, all the other servers died too early and while I was looking for some RO action again in the recent months I stumbled upon this website and was amazed when I saw 350+ online and 1k+ online per day. That is unbelievable for a server which had hardly 30-70 people online at a time for more than 2 years. Anyways, I'm glad I decided to play here and spend my time cherishing the good old moments of RO. Hope more n more people join and make it really fun. This is not the end.. cuz the server is still in episode 9 and there are lot more episodes to come. So, naturally the oldies would never leave. Long live Origins RO... expecting it to serve us till 2020 and beyond.

Well, I still see they mainly have attention for groups, small groups will have a hard time for sure on Origins and even harder when you can't team up much for whatever reason.
Of course that doesn't mean you can't experience entertainment, you still can. It is even possible to retreat from it for a while, it is all on the long run really here.
Lately there was an increase of players indeed, it seems that a sufficient amount of players don't find satisfaction anymore with a server that does base it's population mainly on 3thparty program or grf tweaks users and they are gathering on Origins.
My experience over the years: the population of Origins is very decend in great majority. Even now with the increase players. You will see rarely KS based players or trolls here and once they appear they deal quite efficient with them also.
Players here will rather help you as frustrate you. So, it is really a server where you can find entertainment.
Last but not least, it's Hercules based which is a much better emulator for pre-renewal as the regular Renewal based clones.

Just to give you an honest perspective about the population, when the server has about 400 people online over 200 are autovenders, also, multiclienting is really popular and used heavily. Many players are running 4-5 clients at a time. You can find a guy in byalan 2 with like 6 people autofollowing him. So, in all honesty theres usually 40-60 people online at a given time.

Still there is no better Option for a classic server. All other servers are just high Custom and Donation servers and going down every 5-6 Month.

Post by: Kirchen on Nov 06, 2018, 05:41 PM
after 8 months, i have to bring up new things and a better review overall.
since this post is opend by me, I felt like informing and correcting some information.

Community - 7/10
The community has its up and down sides. New players will recive a lot of help in main chat, and there are guilds looking for new players and they will integrete them fast.

Server Stability - 10/10
one if not the most stable server ive ever witnessed. And its up for 6 years

Events - 5/10
Hard to find. Some guilds to guild intern events but thats it. GM events are not very common.
I tried to make one for the server once and got jailed for it. And ran into struggle wich was then bind to this. I even had to remove my video wich i made for the server
because people of the community were trying to report me.


Economy - 5/10
the economy is a ciritcal topic. It seems fine but is actually a very high disadvantage for new players in terms of equality.
There has been changes wich reduced the Great Nature drop and other zeny items to lower % drop. But other players were able to abuse that for a long time and this made ppl getting 1-3 Billion Zeny easy. While now you realy have to work for the zeny.
Equipment is easy to get for new players, overall the market prices are healthy.

Class Balance - 10/10
Its classic PT , what else to add.

Administration - 4/10
The GMs dont realy listen to the community and there is a lot of unsolved problems. Client, Game and Balancewise also Community releated things.

PvP - 9/10
The PvP is amazing, so much fun, and not unbalanced. The gear that makes you really strong in PvP is not hard to get either, just dedication and some time to get to that point. Anyone can PvP at any point if they wish to, and if they want to without hurting their K/D on the leader boards they can enter the Safe PvP room to avoid that.

PvE/MvP - 3/10
Normal MVP, easy to kill nothing real challenging for pvm players.
This is a so called "pvm focused" server. But the recent changes to EXP song have hit the pvm scene hard. And will continue to harm the scene. They made exp-song uneffectiv in how their exp system worked after 6 years. This is again why new players have a very high disadvantage. Not only did they remove every efficent MOTD (mob of the day wich gives 2x exp) monsters like high orcs, now they also made party lvling less effctive then solo lvling. This is still supposed to be a mmorpg and not a solo agi assassin game of a game where u leech your own char with your knight.
They did this changes without talking to the community and from most of the council members ive heard their voices have been ignored ( wich also indicates that the gms dont realy care about the community).
Soloing at kahos or leeching yourself with a knight at High orcs, bathorys , annolians is the best way now. Wich is kinda sad and takes the whole mmorpg feeling away.

WoE
Grown a lot since I joined the server, and I am prolly one of the biggest reasons for it.


Overall I have to say the recent changes made the server worse. The disadvantage for new players is increasing wich will slowly make partys disappear because its simply not worth it. And when new players start to realise how hard it is now , for now reason at all, they wont continue playing or more likly not even gonna join the server imo.

I don't know what you mean by this but the GMs actually are working actively on fixing all issues they find. Given that the people who run this server also have full-time jobs and work on it purely for the love of the game, fixing small bugs does take time, sure. There isn't a single server out there that's perfect and without 'unsolved problems'. Even Nova, with its paid staff, have fixes regularly. Ease down on the drama.

Misinformation right here. Ever since the fix to the exp-stacking with regards to Kim, the server actually sees a lot more parties and is a lot more social, but I suppose the growth and benefit of the server didn't suit your negative view of everything, so why bother telling the truth right?

This is a 5x server, getting to 99 is not that hard if you actually play and not stand in one spot and cast one skill for hours on end.

We've had a couple of people who joined the server in the last few days and they're loving it, especially when they're helped by people rather than constantly fed a narrative that paints the server as 'negative, negative, negative'. Maybe help them out and revisit how you start characters? Because it's still the best-run Classic server out there. There is no good alternative.

In conclusion, to everyone reading, take what this Kirchen says with a pinch of salt. If you've been on Origins, you'll know how divisive a figure he is. He may be a good player and understands the mechanics of the game well, sure, I'll give him that, but he's not the best person to judge the server given his ban and constant strifes with the GM team. 
Title: Re: OriginsRO
Post by: Queen Bee on Nov 09, 2018, 07:25 AM
People should probably not listen to Kirchen when it comes to stuff like oRO staff/community issues, considering he got his main account perma-banned over breaking ToS. Most of the things he says are based on salt and are heavily biased in his favour.

Also his idea of an "event" that he mentions earlier was to abuse a glitch/miss in oRO's anti-DB/summoning setup for towns to summon MVPs on merchant lines in Prontera.
Title: Re: OriginsRO
Post by: Kirchen on Nov 09, 2018, 10:18 AM
 /heh u are an idiot. Its not based on salt.

I am still playing there, because there is no better option.  But there are reasons why big and good guilds or people how know alot about the game stay away from it, eventhough i tried and still try to get people here.In fact you are just a salty hater who prolly got slapped in woe.

In addition to this topic, recently there were issues with people abusing grfs for mvps. And the reason none was punished was actually a gm whos task was it to deal with it, didnt know how to use @disguise and stuff to prove the grf thing. I think this shows a lot about the goal of the server but they are struggeling because they dont know how to take control of macro or grf abuse. I think most the gms just dont have much of experience in dealing with bigger communitys or cheats.
One of my members had to explain the way u check for grf and sprites changes etc to a GM.

At least they are improving /no1

Can you elaborate more on this? Does it have something to do with the server running for 5+ years without adding transcendant classes, while original servers had it within 2 years?

Post by: Queen Bee on Nov 09, 2018, 01:04 PM
I've had this account for a while, but if you want to pretend I made it over a year ago just to mess with you today then go ahead, I guess.

Kirchen is one of the most toxic players on OriginsRO at the moment and his guildies aren't much better. They troll and toss baseless accusations against other players into global chats both in game and on discord and then act hurt whenever someone calls them out on their s*** actions. He can pretend to be a good influence on the server, "bringing in players" and whatever, as much as he wants, at the end of the day he still got caught cheating, breaking ToS severely enough to warrant a perma-ban, something that very very rarely happens on OriginsRO. Why he's allowed to play on the server at all is a mystery to me. A perma-ban shouldn't just be a reset to progress by locking someone's account, it should actually be a personal ban.

I do not play Origins but as far as I have seen the admin team have their own ideas about how to do things and will not budge when community desires conflict with it. For example they insist on having trans trap mechanics, a major reason why no "competitive" guild bothers with the server. Another example is mathy's response of "don't like it don't play the server" when people laughed at Origins still having screenshake (even modern official servers have a command to remove it these days, so their QoL is literally worse than the notoriously bad officials)

My impression of Origins was that they just treat it as their personal Hercules testing grounds and don't really care about the population count. Clearly, this has its downsides but also its upsides, for example we can be confident that Haru will leave it online even when only 5 people play. So Stability becomes a major reason why people started joining in the first place, explaining the recent population growth (iRO exodus on top of that).

As for the "never releasing trans" thing, well, it's probably more of a good thing than people realize. Especially in regards to woe.  /ok

Hello! I'm a GM on OriginsRO (with the same name). This is obviously a snarky backhanded comment talking about me, so I thought I'd make an account to clarify a few things.

I'm the PR GM for origins. I don't do anything code-related, I don't host events, and I don't really even actively bot hunt. I'm the member of the staff who makes announcements when we need them, and keeps the staff informed about issues players are having. A lot of the staff members aren't people-people and have neither the time nor energy to talk to players on a personal level (because they're also really busy!!). That's fine. That's why I'm here! Players are always free to come to me about any issues they're having, or to bring problems (like bugs, bots, or grf abuse) to me, and then I forward their complaints to the relevant person who is most equipped to handle their specific problem. Which is sometimes still me, but usually not! I exist for the sake of transparency, which is something that the staff of Origins has struggled with in the past, but acknowledge is very important for a healthy, happy community, and I hope that we're starting to and will continue to do better in that department.

Anyway, enough about that!

I know the situation you're talking about and despite what you seem to think, I'm NOT the person handling that report. The only reason I had a dialogue with that player about the subject was because I happened to be online and they whispered me about it. That report is outside the scope of me, personally. In fact, that report was actively being discussed by the staff as a whole while that player was condescendingly lecturing me about how I should do this and that to prove they were using a modified grf (which I told the player). While his suggestions were appreciated, he was not aware of many details related to that report that rendered his suggestions irrelevant (details that the staff already knew about). Therefore, my response was essentially "thank you for your input", because I knew that it didn't really matter and I had no intention of discussing the specifics of a gameplay abuse report with a player.


I'm sorry you got caught cheating and you're upset that your account isn't going to get unbanned, and I'm sorry that you can't seem to get over it, but if you're going to snark about the staff, please make sure your snark is relevant to the people you're snarking about.

Have a lovely day, Kirchen~


Edit: I knew I forgot something! Regarding no way to disable screenshake: It's a limitation of our client (because it's really old). It'll be rectified with the new client we'll be getting "soon".
Title: Re: OriginsRO
Post by: Kirchen on Nov 11, 2018, 06:59 AM
Idk why you try to make this about my acc or me being salty about your answer.
Its simply not, its still a good server, with a lot of postiv sides. But also a lot of bad things, wich i adressed right a the started after 1 month in gitlab, forum and directly to gms.
This is just a neutral review. There ARE community related issues, GMs are not GOOD at listening to the community. but they try.

I dont f*** care about my acc. I still play on the server and i am still greatfull this server exists, because its the only stable one. Just because I try to acknowledge things wich arent perfect on the server because I know a lot of community stuff and woe things and pvm doesnt make me a salty person. The only reason why i argued in gitlab for months even before the ban and with gms directly is because i wanted the servers community to grow and adress bad things wich holds players back from joining while keeping the original goal ( wich is a classic experience without renewal) alive. Being able to use @disguise etc are basic things for a gm, even a event gm should know how to check for grfs. Thats just my opinion though.

And there are in fact bad changes wich will have a bad influence on pvm scene and new players. and there are in fact changes now and in the past wich gave old players enourms advantage about the new once in terms of effort they have to pay to be able to get basic gear and lvls
Title: Re: OriginsRO
Post by: Charity Case on Nov 17, 2018, 12:58 AM
Ok Kirchen actually makes some good points here, but i guess everyone just wants to scapegoat him as a salty-cheating-german ( its even hard for people to acknowledge others online for contributing and being useful,who knew)

PvM-Yeah the recent changes to mr kim is quite alarming,very alarming(pretty much rendering the mr kim song useless,uneless your leeching someone who is the sole killer and exp gainer).
Sure the party scene is relatively ok right now,but like kirchen said,once people realize whats happend,theres going to be a drop in the amount of partys and ultimately the amount of people on.
(leeching your self yields more exp then your typical niff party,just to put that in perspective,which is about 150-180k.Used to love partying,not anymore)

This isnt the only controversial pvm topic,Monster of the day and floating rates!,which have been modified multiple times.(lots of trivia on this server,fun right?)

Monster of the day was a great feature,until they basically removed a big chunk of the good monsters from the list(not much to elaborate on this,other then old player base abused it for years and staff played a blind eye to it for "years",spin it how you want but thats just how anyone new to the server would see it imo)

Floating rates has been changed to this laughing lump sump of money needed in order to activate it ,which is apparently a good "zeny sink".The only time anyone saw it activated since its been modified was because of the halloween event!(which was activated for free,the irony!!).Anyways,floating rates is pretty much a meme now and hardly lives up to its old expectations,but hey at least i get a reminder in game that its still kicking around somewhere collecting dust..,mind as well save your zeny for rachel,oh wait.... trans when again? /heh

Drop rates/loots-What is this,amateur hour? MvP card drop rates not being 0.01 for a while,items like great nature and blue herbs dropping at a high-high rate for a so called "low" rate.And for a while too....damage was done already by the time changes were made

Its such a common theme here,older player base taking advantage of all these situations(floating rates,motd,mvp card drop rate,loot rate)...makes me wonder. Apparently hitting 99 in 1 day isnt a big enough of an alarm for staff to modify these features,but all of sudden when a new guild shows up and is catching up fast....all these modifications and changes pop up? more then coincidence for me,if not a very poor job of executing  from the gm team. The ladder wouldn't surprise me at this point

Events-Abysmal,i would say 1/10,just because they bothered to add something for Halloween. Only did the event for the costume,it felt more of a grind then an event.That speaks for itself.You have people buying halloween tickets in order to skip walking circles for hours and actively participating within the actual event.Oh yeah not to mention the cooler looking costume had a class restriction!,which was not mentioned at all by the npc,and the compensation headgear you offered wasnt even a costume!JOKE.want me to spell it again?

Honestly, the rise in server population imo has a lot more to do with the recent and not so unfortunate situation of iro and some people going out of their way to recruit,much less the server itself.

This server has so much potential,i can easily throw some cliche lines like oh the gm team is  "not listening to player base", and there is  "lack of updates", but honestly.... the server isnt so far off from being great and amazing.People want to play here and want things to work out,but the team behind the server is sometimes unbearable and i honestly think people are just going to lose their patience,eventually moving on.

Iv played on few great servers while this server was up diddling around being all cute hanging around ayothaya update and ooh look gunslingers and ninja!.
I think its about time the server grew some balls, pushed their agenda,hired some competent staff or at least some more personal and stop treating it as some cool side project. The time is now or never for this server, cool it has great stability,but who wants to play the same episode for years and years and keep argueing with staff about "oh this skill should work like this"  and "thats not official" or "present proof this skill was like such,with screen shots/video from 2004"

Lots of great thing about the server,but my god the negatives really need to be addressed

Hi,
I have been joining oRO since June (after a 10 years RO break).
To begin, this server has no donation which is more than awesome and yet the server is stable and the staff is serious (contrarily to a large number of servers with staff who are only motivated by money). So, thanks a lot to them for this first point.
Then, the community, like everywhere, is a large melting pot of mentalities, cultures and nationalities. I had the chance to meet a nice group of players who gave me a warm welcome. I don't doubt you will find you too a nice group of player, there's a right one for everyone.
The population number is steady. The server is sometimes quiet at certain hours (due to time differences between coutries, which is understandable) but nothing particularly alarming.
The only hang-up here is that new content is released at a very slow rate. However, i am not really objective because i have always played on post-rebirth servers in the past. Classic has its charm tho.
I will definitively recommend this server to anyone interested in a stable, serious and nice server. As i said, it has not donations but also limits "custom" features (gears, maps, etc...) which completes the immersion.
I'll cut it off (even if i have alot more to say) and simply wish a good journey to everyone who will join us.
See you soon!

(thanks a lot to the one who helped me to write this in a proper english)

Been playing Ragnarok since 2004, and this is by far my favorite server I've encountered. I've been playing here since Feb 2019, and I've definitely caught the RO bug all over again because of oRO.

Community is proactive and helpful, economy is stable and healthy, and WoE apparently brings a ton of players on every week (havent experienced that one for myself yet). MVPing is competitive, which can make things challenging but all the more rewarding when you get that little icon above your head :)

Love that they release patches over time, its reminiscent of my old iRO Chaos days. Trans classes havent been released yet, which I find very nice as well. Looking forward to 99ing a few 2:2 classes without the rush of needing to advance immediately.

Definitely recommend to anyone that enjoys working hard to build your character base, as  I do.

My thoughts on player population is that its higher than other posts have indicated. Main chat is always bustling and #trade chat never fails to get quick responses.

LOVE IT!

I've been watching this server since it was released slowly grow but recently its getting ALOT of attention due to Rebirth now available.

I honestly cant fault this server at all... No P2W / No Cash shop and yet everything else just seems to be perfect to be true. Server stability is 10/10 I havent seen a single drop in packets or unstable ping at all (from EU).

Too anyone reading these reviews, please think twice if you decided not to check it out already, and if your a returning player now is a great time to jump back in since Origins RO is now at its peak.

So glad this server is going to save my money over the xmas period  /heh

Can it get any better than it currently is? We will see i guess but otherwise i am loving it!

It's a nice server if you don't mind the outright favorism the staff has towards the people they like, and the ignorance they display towards the more disliked ones.

I have to question Kirchen. How is he not a community manager? I see him advertise for Origins way more despite being banned at some point. He's still one of the few people that I see is actively doing good for the community, yet, doesn't seem to get the acknowledgement he deserves. There's people that is unqualified who do next to nothing but trolling in #main and they can still keep their positions. Somehow.

Not trying to make Origins seem in a negative light. It does have perks to playing it. If you want a server to play on with no interactions then this -is- the server for you. If you do socialize, you'll quickly realize that under that thinly veiled "nice" community is just dramatic kids screaming over every changes made, big or small because it -might- conflict with how fast they can exploit a bug to their advantages to level fast.

Everyone says it's the best server and all... I don't agree but I also do not disagree. Know what you're going into before investing in the server.

In your opinion then what is the best server right now?

Does Origins ro have homunculi yet? I tried playing a while back but no homun was a dealbreaker for me. Where they added along with that trans update? Is there any changes to alchemists to encourage non leeching in the abscence of homunculus, like revo classic demonstration mechanics?

There are no "better" servers in terms of stability. I'd like to play once again myself if it wasn't for drama left or right for whatever reason, he said, she said, staff doing very little unless it's something from their most liked community "helpers" it gets very draining fast if you socialize with others.

If you just want to play then again, it is the server to grind on.

oRO is currently one of the most healthy servers out there.
quite a huge population and this with a "No donation" setting while beeing set up for a long term server (frequent episoide updates that are cming out one after another in a BIG (like 5-6 Month) interval.

you can see alot lvling pvm partys recruiting ppls

There are serval WoE guild videos out there

i linked you thje recent ones that shows some latest WoE scenes:

very big server.
(http://i.gyazo.com/599f06791c063c62ae05d6285e0aa1a0.jpg)

(online today ist almost daily at 2k+ = it shows the number of diffrent masteraccoutns (unique players) that loged in during the day)

No Donation

No Cheat tolerance (hundrets of ppls got alrdy banned duo grf/and other cheat stuff, they check daily, and got "some" stuff in backround detecting lots of nonHuman behavior //   PLAY LEGIT)

Slow Episode Progression Server
You dont have alot of time duo RL?
PERFECT !!
This Server is long term based, your pricious time wont be wasted here in the long run

We have lots of mechanics to boost your EP, like PartyMemberBonus, daily different Mob of the Day (2x exp) and Floating Rates Mechanics that get activated once in a while.

Basicly leveling is really easy on OriginsRO, currently there are ALOT of Partys ongoing for all level ranges.
in Bio3 you can easy make like 60m exp/hour as a party.

Items/equip on the market are fairly cheap (most of the time), so its np to gear your basics.

Better go play a stable and healthy low rate server - and stay there for X years,
than a "fast" mid/High-rate who will die after X months.
its your choice  /no1

More like selective cheat tolerance, since there are many videos of players openly AHKing and the admins do nothing about it.  /ok

If you have concrete evidence of players cheating, please report them. We can do nothing about hearsay.

If you are looking for a lowrate prerenewal server. This is the best hands down.

Largest population of any lowrate prerenewal p-server I have seen. (excluding vendors)
Enormous WOEs (8+ giant guilds duking it out) (use originsro as youtube searchkey for this)
No Pay2Win.
Nostalgic.
No Voting.
No Coins/points.
Great Rules, Great enforcement.
Vanilla.
Reliable Server.
Just RO.

Perfect 10.
