The True Colors Of ArcanaRO.

[mickiedeez]

First off, I don't know who you are, but I'd like to reply to these attacks on our server on behalf of an Administrator.

My identity, and sources are "anonymous".

I've seen a lot on Arcana, and I've witnessed many attacked, trolled, and many forced to leave this server. The player's control the server, and the staff is nothing more then a figurehead of sorts. The staff is definitely not fit to run anything more then a mere sandbox to say the least. They are immature, and ruthlessly abuse power. The "elite" players are definitely not "elite" and act as if they're all so powerful when really they're using items not accessible towards normal players. James, the administrator, is nothing more then money crazed, and his intentions are definitely crystal clear. That's not what I am here about, however. The proof I have is a pigment of the corrupt, biased, and unfair part of this establishment.

The players most definitely don't run the server, and that's obvious. I don't see how you can say the staff isn't fit to run anything when we have been alive for longer than most servers can say they have ever been. We take suggestions, handle reports, among other things so I'm sort of lost in how you can say that. The statements about the players isn't anything to do with us, so that's okay. As for the ruthlessly abusing power, and James' intentions... Clearly things are not how you are stating them because if they were this server would be burried so far in the ground, nobody would know it ever existed.

UVG stands for "UR VRY GUD". To sum them up they're players who have gotten all of their items from GMs, and control the server. They badmouth everyone and act as if they're from Anon which is very pathetic. All in all, they're NOT VRY GUD. Lauren is on the GM team because she screws one of the two Administrator's Isaac. Isaac is a "banhammer" who bans the wrong people, and leaves his friends on the server. James is almost useless as is Mike. Casey is a corrupt player they allowed on the team who was later released for being one of them (corrupt, and cheating; it's all the same, in the end.). Basically, the public found out about her. The GMs sit in town and @nuke everyone for fun, and act like complete fools. They also attack, and verbally abuse players, too!

I personally take offense, as well as the other GM's would, because in fact, our server is one of the few that can actually fully trust the current staff. There are no corruption items in existance on any accounts on our server. Lauren, was on our staff before she started dating Isaac, and in fact has been with the server since we opened. Isaac is the one who deals with punnishments, and bans people for breaking rules, which I don't see where the problem is in that? He gets all the grief for doing the dirty work. Casey was removed from our staff within a day for those reasons you stated, and all linked accounts were removed. As far as myself being useless... Ouch. I don't even know who you are and yet you're attacking me when I haven't been around the server since University started. In fact, I have done a lot more for the server than you think. I have been a GM for James since the BreezeRO, and I've written a majority of the old custom headgear quests, to other scripts, and even training the newer staff scripting. So where you get your facts from is beyond me. As far as the nuking people for fun, acting like complete fools, and verbally abusing players... If you watched closely, 99% of people it happens to seem to be having a pretty good time with it and even laughing. Everyone we "verbally abuse," or at least I can say on my behalf, I can say are people I've known on this server for a long time. Our staff is friendly and actually talks to the players, and will spend the time to sit down in town and chat. Which is a rare thing in any private server on any game. Most wont even tell you the time of day, let alone have a conversation with you. 

Finally, the screenshots are in a Photobucket account of my source. I've backed them up in case something were to happen to them.

* The donation items do not refine to +8. I find it funny items are slotted at 4 when that isn't possible without GM's creating them. Unknown items? Very clever (not) cover up to not include the card (which isn't a card a player could get) that is slotted into a gear which can not be slotted. Also, with the card drop rates such as these it's very interesting how almost all of the player's of the staff have Ghostring cards. Finally, the donations upon redemption DO NOT name them after the character. Obviously, a GM has given them to those players. Orgasmatron is the guild leader of UVG if you're curious whom that item's attached player name is.


I'm sorry, but I have to laugh at this. Yes, the donates are refinable, even up to +10. Every item shows up as 4 greyed slots, and if it has a card slot, that slot will be white. It's the way it is, nothing to do with GM's. Unknown item, like shown by another player, occurs when you put your name on the item. The GR accusation towards GM's is absurd. I think there is 2, maybe 3 floating around on the server? I don't even know anymore. And the last statement, again, can be directed to what the player posted, showing the naming NPC.

That too, has nothing to do with us. Anybody can pretend to be anybody. It's what happens, and it's crazy.

So I'd just like to say, your personal attacks on me, and the staff aren't appreciated, especially when they aren't true. I don't know what happened to you on our server, if you were banned or what, but attacking our server with falsified claims isn't a very mature thing to do. Obviously things don't work out for everybody, it's just the way it works.. You leave, and move on to another server, or leave the game. In the end it's you're choice, but claiming these things to try and get back at a server that has done none of what you stated boggles my mind.

If anyone would like to get in contact with me about what I've posted here, feel free to email me:

apparently you all missed this one, explaining many of the "leet gm haxx"

EDIT:  sure no concrete proof, but the poster at least explains (logically and in a calm manner) some of the claims, and makes a solid effort to show respect(in stark contrast to the other server official posting here)

[Zone]

That's the point, no concrete proof, and it has been explained why, in a logical manner.

[mickiedeez]

what I mean is, you know, "a, b and c are server features." And As far as I know, usable slots are supposed to be white, not grey, just as he says?

[Prodigy]

While I appreciate your concern for trying to giving me a warning, by, then the same hand, shouldn't you then receive one for trying to de-rail this thread as it's already de-railed and your just making it even more pointless?

@OnTopic:
While this is pretty much dead, I'm not basically interested in any SOLID proof that ANY server can provide.

I mean, all it takes is a little allegation and there's no hope for recovery right?

Anyways, if ArcanaRO is innocent I do feel sorry for them, because this has caused a ton of issues.

@Prodigy: Unfortunately, you read my shoutbox message in a tone I which I didn't mean to convey to you.

It is rather sad that ArcanaRO now has to deal with this type of drama, which was caused by a player and Stra-whatever, the fact that he was trying to dispel the accusations, only caused more drama, which increases post count and replies, which means this stays as a hot-topic, which means more viewers see it, and can associate more bad stigma with said server.

Once again, I apologize if I have offended you and would hope that your endless persuit of trying to earn me a warn will be finished.

Thank you.

I don't understand your logic that I should receive a warning just for questioning a mod's actions. What I have said seemed pretty much a calm and respectful manner to the moderator himself.

I'm not trying attempt an endless pursuit bent on getting you warned. The previous post was directed to a moderator rather than you  which involved me asking about his actions of him or his staff. Although I'm sorry that you feel I am trying to get you warned from just one post. It's just a little unfair in my viewpoint that Surgation or whatever would get a warning even though I don't really personally know him. And your shouts be removed in such a timely manner after I've stated it in my previous post without warning or anything. Basically I'm just questioning the mod's actions for doing so if it wasn't conveyed in a harmful mood. Not saying the mods aren't doing their job right. Just seemed a bit sketchy to me. Although I do believe there's no other way to convey a statement that says "Lol @ Arcana"? in a more happy manner? I do not want to start a whole another argument based on something so trivial. I just wanted to come here present my case with one of my GMs and closest friend.  Everyone can believe what they want since it's pretty much already stated on this forums that the thread presented to them.

Thank you.

I registered just to say this:

Surgation, you are equal parts sad and pathetic. You think your "skill" at RO(yes, notice the quotes) makes you the end-all/be-all to all things Ragnarok Online, think again; the fact that you toss around the "N-word" while in defence of your server makes your message one worthy to be ignored, and gives the impression that it comes from an arrogant, petulant child who can't deal with the fact that somebody doesn't like his precious server.

I strongly advise you from posting here in the future, because your posts beg the question "Helping or hurting?". You're hurting. Refrain from posting and focus your energies on being "pro" at RO, since that seems to be the only good thing you have going for you, you pathetic sop.

[Temjin]

u mad? You are equal parts drama and llama. I never said I was the "end-all/be-all" of anything, so way to talk about things you nothing about. Also, stop nerd raging over the word nigger. It has nothing to do with the evidence I provided, nor is it racist. See, cool people like me have no need for racism because we're capable of befriending people of any ethnicity. You, on the other hand, are crying over trivial things such as a word that you insist has only one meaning (spoiler: it doesn't). Oh, look at you trying to sound mature and failing to do so. I'm a child? Here you imbeciles are ganging up on me because you dislike my post and I'm the child? At least I can handle my own conflicts, much unlike the OP. It has nothing to do with how much I like aRO; I simply won't allow people to give James a bad reputation using faulty information.

I strongly advise you nut up, go away and partake in activities you're knowledgeable on such as psychology. Oh, wait, your assumptions prove you're a failure at that as well. Pull that life card again, bro; it's merely a desperate attempt at getting a reaction out of me. You don't know me, so how would you know what I have going for me in life? That's right, you wouldn't. Refrain from posting and focus your energies on being "pro" at arguing, since you're clearly incapable of doing so without cutting in a fit of rage immediately afterward, you worthless dolt.

The following italicized lines prove you can't debate like a human being. Step back for a moment and read what you write. As soon as you came here acting like an arrogant hardass, of course people are going to jump down your throat.

Adults don't run around in circles, swearing like a mental patient going through an episode of Tourette's.

By the way, Moderator or Admin, somebody clearly felt the need to make a new account because he couldn't behave on his previous, that's obviously Surgation.

[Final]

Man this topic is a server REVIEW not a place to fight about something.  Both sides posted arguments, both sides refuted said arguments (In a bad manor cough surg cough)

I really would prefer if you stopped posting because when you talk all we hear is some guy with a problem with everything.  btw man, Your constant attempt to ask them to play a life card only tells us you have no life.

@mods: Lock this topic, Can't you see it has gone beyond that of a server review?

[yC]

locked.

bans Surgation for mod/mute evasion.

deletes Orgiophantom, Surgation's other account.
