Name: RaijeRO
Rate:  25x/25x/20x
Opened: October 2, 2009

Summary – With 244 players online RaijeRO is off to a good start.

Ease of Use – Downloading the server went extremely smooth. Up and playing in 5 minutes. The forums were a little odd for me. Things just seemed kind of out of place. Redirect links and the top, introduce yourself at the bottom. But that's just a personal preference.

Economy Glance – Economy was decent. The server MVP card drops are at 1x and the MVP item drops are at 15x. Even though there were 30+ vendors  and this person: http://i35.tinypic.com/2eeivc5.jpg I didn't see any MVP cards and only one or two MVP drops.

Balance
–   Classes: I did see a slightly above average amount of hunter/snipers, but nothing to suggest they were over powered.  PvP: I went in to PvP on a lvl 22/16 Mage. No one touched me. There were four other players in PvP all acting politely. Donations: Donation items were mostly consumable items. With the exception of 1 pet of the month ($5) and 1 headgear of the month ($20).  Customs: No customs to speak of.

GM Responsiveness – I was AMAZED at the 3 minute wait for a GM response. Honestly, I just asked the question and didn't check back for a day. When I checked back in to see if a GM had helped out. I saw he responded in 3 minutes. http://i36.tinypic.com/svkrpj.jpg Great work GM Seven.
Also, GM Aerin was in game discussing the upcoming maintenance on the server. Sorry I didn't get an SS of that, but she was answering questions and being sociable.

Forum Environment – GM activeness is extremely present on the forums. I didn't see anyone showing any disrespect.

In-game Community – Everyone is talkative and friendly. Players were scattered throughout the server not just hanging out in the main city.

X-FactorsLive Staff Support link: They have this handy link on the main site where you can talk to a GM live about issues you might be having. Of course whomever was there was at dinner, but really with the active GMs on the forums the helpfulness of the server is well above average. Events: there is a handy link on the main site that shows the current events being held by the server. Very nice. Website: the website is extremely plain. Nothing flashy going on, very "meh" to look at.

Conclusion – I had heard of the old RaijeRO being sort of questionable. This RaijeRO opened October 2nd, they already have a large following. If they keep up with the GM responsiveness I'm sure they will keep their population.
