Rise of Midgard - Thoughts after 2 weeks

[Franky4Fingers]

Hey there,

After two weeks of playing in the server every day, I feel it's time for a review.

The server I have been waiting for. I was looking for an international English speaking server, with RO gameplay adapted to 80% of the RO player base of today (that is working full-time) and does not have the time it used to for grinding. The drop rates have been adjusted in this purpose to make it possible for you to gear yourself in a moderate amount of time. Additionally there are some alternative ways to gear yourself via coins you gain with in-game events (crafting system).

The mentioned in-game events are refreshing ! One that I particularly like in which you have to take down Champion Monsters spawning and announced server-wide every now and then on a specific map.

If I had to describe the server in one word, that would be "Choice". It offers you the choice without forcing you to anything. If you're a PvP-oriented player, you can level up your special Battleground character (only access to BG maps, no PvM for these) via Battlegrounds only. PvM is well-designed, with rewarding hunting missions, and experience rebalances on a few forgotten maps. There are countless ways to level up, whether it's through party leveling in traditional spots, solo grinding in your favourite places, or in the maps featured in the XP spotlight system (Exp * 2 every day on a different set of maps). I personally had a blast going all the way to 96 so far (solo) in a lot of different maps.

The community seems to have all kinds of players, from Hardcore PvM to WoE-only folks (and like in every server, you will find some ******** here and there) but nothing outstanding. I didn't have any bad experience so far.


The market is newbie friendly due to higher drops on cards and equipment, prices are relatively low. I managed to get an Evil Druid Card for 950k, which I found awesome!

The stability is okayish. There are a few unfortunate lags from time to time, that might take you off guard when you are in the middle of something, but I guess this will be addressed.

The GM team is very approachable and open to suggestions. Note that the server is based on the community's feedback which suggested most of its features, which is a big plus for me.

I definitely recommend giving this server a chance

Thank you for your review Franky!

The issues we have with those irregular lags isn't on our end nor on our host's end. However we're still actively working hand to hand with them to fix those. It's one of our top priorities currently.

Hope you'll stay here for long!
