Talon Ro

BlackChurch · Feb 12, 2012, 02:55 AM

this is the worse server i played in over the 3 yrs i have played ro. one it is very anti-american. now the owner can say he is american and his gms are american..but i saw what i saw and i was not the only one to see it ..now i watched in main as people and gms criticized america..calling everyone in it basically white trash.. I mean really ? if the gms do not do their job to stop this sort of behavior instead of participating in it maybe then i would not be here writing this or have wrote 4 previews on how bad this server is..it is NOT player friendly period and if you are noob you are in trouble..because the economy is talon coin based and oif you can't afford to donate you better make that autoloot last and make zeny as much as possible because once you hit base 70 there is no more autolooting and your are basically fawked ..kill stealing is also a major concern on this server even though it claims that is seriously frowned upon ..i was jailed for doing what another player had done to me only i was not fast enough to print screen their actions and when i finally did print screen another actions they did nothing !!! ..they also STOLE my last donation before i quit the server ..stealing my donation was the last straw and the owner blames paypal for the problem which is funny considering it was an error on their page which i sent them that disallowed my donation confirmation to go through..did they do anything about it NO..now the owner can argue this with me until his face turns blue..BUT FACTS ARE FACTS and i was not the only dissatisfied with the server many had quit they i come to know in only a month of playing had left.. and some left when i did ..once again i do not know how or why this server is popular..but it is a horrible server that i had the misfortune of playing or donating too.

Weren't you already blacklisted from our RMS page for unreasonable flaming?

Oh well *reports to moderator*.

He is disallowed from writing a review on your listing because he repeatedly ignored the site's review guidelines.

The forum is not governed by the same guidelines, here we provide much more space for the reviewer to share the experience and possibly get staff from the server to address the issue interactively. We encourage everyone to voice their opinion here. As long as they follow the forum rules.

DeePee · Feb 12, 2012, 06:11 AM

Alright, thank you for clearing that up.

Okay, so I don't know what's up with you. I've replied to your review four times now (five including this) and you keep deleting it, then making a new one with the same stuff in it. Maybe you are just uncertain about the things you write, I don't know. I'd say one review is enough for that.

Again, we are not anti-American. 75% of our GM team is American (heck, even more when counting the new GMs) and 50% of the population is American. People are free to criticize a country for its actions. If someone disagrees with the wars that the US starts, they are free to have a discussion about that, no? However, you won't see a GM hating a certain country. If there's a player doing so, you are free to make a report about it. But just as many complainers on RMS, you have not ever made one regarding that (and I read pretty much all of them). If you don't, how do you expect us to do something about it?

I'm not sure why you think the server is not player friendly. The server growth has exploded the past months. There are literally thousands of new players actively partying and hanging out together. We have added many ways to obtain Talon Coins through playing the game. 90% of the players obtain their coins through those methods. We stimulate our players to explore other maps than the usual farming maps and highly reward them to do that by rewarding them with more EXP, Reward Points (can be turned into Talon Coins) and other neat items. Not to mention the Rental system where you can do daily missions to earn Rental Weapons/Armors, which are very powerful items. These missions are based on your character's level so that anyone, regardless of how strong they are, can do the missions.
Maybe you haven't played the server long enough or did not read what we have to offer, because there's a lot for new players to participate in.

Autoloot indeed only lasts until level 70. Remember that it is not a default feature of Ragnarok. It's just a custom feature introduced by private servers that a lot of them happen to use. We however decided not to as it has proven to result in a lot of balance issues and can make things very, very unfair.

Killstealing is indeed something that is hard to control. GMs cannot be online 24/7 to monitor what our players are doing. We usually have over 700 non-vendors online at any time of the day. So for this, we rely pretty much completely on player reports. If someone reported you and the evidence was good enough, you will indeed get punished for that. If you did not get a screenshot, that's not our fault is it? We get many reports by players who send in a single screenshot that doesn't really show anything and then expect us to jail the player. Sorry, but that's not how it works.

As I answered in your previous reviews already, we do not steal donations. Our server has been up for nearly five years and this has never happened before, nor has it happened in your case. I think I know what support ticket is yours and there was indeed an error on the page (due to the MySQL server having issues). From the looks of it, your ticket was already replied to and your donation is just fine. Things like these happen. That does not in any way mean that we "stole" your donation. Seriously?

However, thank you for your review! I hope this is the final one though because typing the same thing five times is getting a bit tiring.

i am not going to argue with you like i said and once again i know what i saw and others saw as it was brought to my attention because said person invited me to your server...it is not a player friendly server and you denying it won't help the fact. as i did report someone who ks'ed my char and they just laughed when i said i would report them..it was always happening ..also the anti-american remarks were made and you are right about one thing i should have print screened it ...but i do try not to get worked up about those things but when it happens constantly well i had to say something..as for my donation i left the game *i am sure you are sighing with relief* so there is no way for me to get it ..so i will chalk it up to money lost and move on and i am not a HE i am SHE ...i will say this i did like the server when i first joined but the constant harassment and bullshyt from other players was a bit much ...and i know about the talon coins because as you know i donated more then once since i been there for that short period of time.

well good luck with your server and i really do think your gms should get on the ball about the anti-american comments ..white trash i am not ..anyway this is a done deal i really do not want to have a forum war with you or anyone else ..i am player trying to enjoy the game i come to like ..end of story ..have a good one

allstarskyway · Feb 19, 2012, 05:26 PM

I believe the player and I have to agree with the RMS Administrator.

To DeePee: I have one friendly piece of advice to you, back off and know your place. I don't care if you are a very powerful GM in some small private server coz this is RMS! R-M-S!! This ain't your territory no more so you have no governance over what people post here and stop bringing your moderator attitude here coz in here you are just a normal member, you don't have any powers, you are powerless here. I believe what this player says, she would not put so much effort posting review here if there was no reasonable basis to do so. This player is telling the truth.

Are you aware that you are promoting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome AND RSI by disabling autoloot? I was about to play on your server and quickly deleted it when I saw this.
Seriously, at least make autoloot questable. What's wrong with you? We're in 2012. :/

Pretty much what the other guys said. We have our reasons for not enabling autoloot after level 70. If for some good reason you cannot play without autoloot, I indeed agree you shouldn't play on this server.

My god your like axe and hammer on any1 who posts reviews about ur server. Calm ur balls and stop smacking ppl with ban threats. The truth is simple, your server has easy access 2 mvp cards, s*** community(over 9000 trolls), and just simply doesnt cut it for a low rate server.

Yukino · Feb 25, 2012, 11:57 PM

^ I just don't see how his quote had any relations with ban threats lol...
TalonRO seems to be one of the more popular LR servers, so I guess some things are done right at least

. Oh well, your personal opinion after all!
All communities have trolls. If it's too good of a server, someone's bound to join it to make it bad on purpose. That's just internet life for you. However, I'm pretty sure the community isn't all that negative--you just didn't find the right people to play with, or that they didn't find you ><.

LOL, carpal tunnel syndrome. I loved how you brought that in XDD, just learned it in anatomy class last term <3! Haha, I can see where you are coming from XD, but then again, having no autoloot makes things a lot harder to get. Takes more effort to play, and some owners prefer that xD. Makes it harder for bots as well (if you need stronger characters).
Being in 2012 doesn't really make a difference... unless you're suggesting that there should be autoloot before the world perishes (not that I believe in this of course).

There's always stereotypes =/. But yeah, if staff members made any racist remarks, that would look bad for the server. Of course, you should always have screenshots to prove this if you want to make this point big for everyone to notice o-o...

DeePee · Feb 26, 2012, 03:17 AM

Dearest Charity Case,

I understand that you, based on this post and one you made without reason in another topic, do not like or have some quarrel with TalonRO.

You are free to think that of course. However, like Yukino kindly mentioned, no one is saying anything about ban threats. Nor am I being defensive with my previous post.

If that person suffers from RSI or something else, then TalonRO is simply not a server he should play. There are hundreds of servers around. I'm sure he'll find one he likes.

Just because one or a few people don't like some design choices we've made, doesn't mean they are wrong choices. These are our views on how we like Ragnarok Online and thus we designed our server around that. There are plenty of people who do like it.

The other guy's post I have already replied to so I shall not continue with that any more.

Love,
Me

Sirroco · Feb 26, 2012, 06:02 AM

No offense, but i recently started playing ragnarok as it has a nice classic feeling and its a fun game, my first server is exactly TalonRO, and you guys criticizing it are stupid, i like autoloot and dislike the fact that i cant use it beyond 70, but thats a choice they made and i got used to it already.

also, "small private server"? i lol'd HARD at this, it has more players than iRO's official vip server, and far more players than any other private server ive looked at, thats one of the reasons i joined, this server is probably the biggest private server currently.

the community is friendly too, when i started i asked about lots of things, normally people would get mad at newbies like that, but instead they helped me and pointed out sites(this one included) that would help me.

keep up the good work TalonRO, thats all.

D1gITaLMaYhEm · Feb 27, 2012, 10:05 PM

Well speaking from my TalonRO experience i can partially agree with what blackchurch is saying i had a horrible time the community was well....not too friendly : \, but they do have an extremely high player population(Good?:Bad? Prefrence. (: ), and really fun events.

How they could improve there server.
1#Put a moderation on trolling/bullying ( i reported my case a few times...but nothing was done)

This is just imo =P ro servers are like.....icecream ^_^ some types you like and some you don't
this type wasn't for me
