Playing the original ScytheRO was fun for me. After the wipe everything just went downhill, the Admin hardly interacts with players, If he does (Once a month average) someone usually gets banned. The new event NPC's are innovative but causes two things: 1 Server economy is a joke, 2 Admin's way of saying he doesn't care about the server. Zairik if you're reading this you need to pick it up man. Back then this server had a 400 player average and now it's at 150. This server CANNOT live up to it's slogan "Best super high rate server", In fact, I'll call it mediocre and pathetic for a server.
GM Interaction 2/10
GM's are hardly ever on, but every day 1 gm is logged in but never consistant. 1 GM is totally overbearing and doesn't give a damn about players 1 GM is on maternity leave and 1 GM is busy with things, and logs in occasionally. Oh and did I mention the intern? (What intern you ask?) the one that never logs on that's who! Only GM that does the work is a complete overbearing careless person who (as i see it) wants GM powers and bans and mutes players for little things and the admin is never on. GM Interactions with the server is pathetic.
Current GM's
NissinRamenGirl 9/10 - Nice person, deals with problems with no hitch, always does her job never overbearing. Recently gave birth to a child and is on maternity leave. This person is ideal for GM work. Personally, she's the best of the other 2
Michie 7.5/10 - A rather new GM, came back from the hospital, good with problem dealing but one hitch is he is always busy so he cannot tend to the server on certain days. Idea GM if he isn't so busy at times.
Euphiemia 2/10 - Sad excuse for a GM, he's the only reason why my rating is so low for GM's. He usually on but never there, abuses his power like a goldigger going through Tom Cruise's wallet. Bans anybody for slight things like posting in the wrong threads. Loses his temper in a blink, doesn't give a rat's-donkey about assisting other people. Only time when I usually see him on is when he bans somebody and that's that.
Custom Items 8.5/10
Custom items are good. Donation refunds are still on hold (After 5 or so months after the wipe and they still haven't organized themselves to get their refunds handled) Leveling NPC's are a joke, the whole recommended leveling system doesn't really work. Players could just storm a map spamming ygg berries and get 999 in a day. This server went from a thriving excellent server into a slum. The new map is too crowded. Leveling is mediocre, Character balancing is yet to be done, GM's need to be hired. More patches and updates MUST be done.
Admin 1/10
Never on (only logs in once a month average) Doesn't give a damn about his server. Doesn't take advice, Claims himself as Perfect. Doesn't give a rat's-donkey about helping players with their money issues and just pushes these problems to his friend who does them (Did I mention he never does his job either?) Nobody wants to see their money go to waste and yet their money still hasn't bee refunded. This guy is a joke, why is he even an admin? No interaction with players and server. If admin was a job, this guy should be fired.Oh! Did I mention he started a new thing for dungeons and dragons?. And all these freaking excuses. Just admit it Zairik you made this server suck.
Server 8/10
Always online, just has a hint of lag to movements.
Economy 1/10
Event NPC's ruined the server's economy, (It was bad enough in the first ScytheRO) But seriously, this is PATHETIC. Players scam like hell, People OVERPRICE not to mention the lack of involvement from the GM's to intervene. Zairik said it himself "GM's are not involved with the server economy." All i got to say is: that is the most lamest excuse ever.
Rules 10/10
I give this my best rating because the GM's are doing a great job BANNING people. Nothing more Nothing Less.
