The True Colors Of ArcanaRO.

[ScoobyDoo]

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.

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!

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.

• Camz Baby • (11/14/2009 10:15:59 PM): suggestions are open
• Camz Baby • (11/14/2009 10:16:01 PM): and we do consider that
Kirsten Kim Roque (11/14/2009 10:16:08 PM): im saying that i cant improve my server
• Camz Baby • (11/14/2009 10:16:17 PM): but we're not here to be b**** at
• Camz Baby • (11/14/2009 10:16:24 PM): if u know what i mean
• Camz Baby • (11/14/2009 10:16:30 PM): suggestions are always open
• Camz Baby • (11/14/2009 10:16:42 PM): thats why we opened suggestions thread

Really made me laugh. Is this really true?

[ScoobyDoo]

To be honest, that doesn't surprise me. James' features on his server comes from eAthena's script releases from other people. He then takes the scripts, changes a few lines to make it seem different then the original (the NPC dialog, mostly), and calls it his own. It's quite obvious when you can find many of the same scripts on his server on eAthena with the same glitches and bugs. Furthermore, it takes him forever to bug fix anything because I'm guessing he doesn't test the scripts he steals. Let's not forget he has admitted to owning many servers, and recently claimed that he knew Arcana would probably not last by the end of the year.

I'm not sure if what that chat log says is true, however, it wouldn't surprise me if he did sell it off and still psuedo-"spearhead" everything in a sense. It could be phony though. Thanks of the additional information, however.

[Usagimimi]

I while back, I was going to join ArcanaRO, too (something turned me off badly, though, so I didn't).

I guess it's a good thing I didn't.

[ScoobyDoo]

Count yourself very lucky. Most of us make the mistake of giving it a shot. However, in the first five minutes of being in town you'll either see loudmouth, attention crazed, and unfriendly GMs mouthing off to eachother or their "friends" they cheat for, or you'll be spammed by the faux "elite" players.

OR.

You'll hear the players "joke" with the Administrator who claims to be black although he doesn't even sound black unless another black person is on ventrilo. They throw tacky racial and sexist remarks at everyone all the time. Then, James will sign in and they'll throw the KFC chicken and nasty profanity at him. He doesn't really seem to care so I guess it's alright, but it isn't for the others who want to actually play the server without having a brick wall of spam and immature profanity.

[Usagimimi]

swtttt

I think they had wings before, and that's why I didn't go. Did Arcana ever have wings? Wings was an instant "no" back in that time.

[ScoobyDoo]

Yes, they do now. Some of course, they've got some weird tails, too. I'm not quite sure of all the donation items it seems to be just a gateway to profit, in my opinion.

[Usagimimi]

Yes, they do now. Some of course, they've got some weird tails, too. I'm not quite sure of all the donation items it seems to be just a gateway to profit, in my opinion.

'kay, so that was definitely why I didn't join lol I hate both.

'Am glad they were idiots and put those in ^^ Or I would've worked my butt off on Arcana a while ago for no reason.

Nice topic :)

[ScoobyDoo]

Thank you.

Oh, I forgot to add: Arcana actually had a very large community, and they've got several stories but the entire pinoy population and a few strong guilds left, as well. They pretty much lost a majority of the community and I'm sure it's because the vast majority of the public found out about things the staff did not want them to find out about. Isaac was just mass banning everyone and of course because either him or one of his "friends" got thrown under. He never bans for the right reasons. James doesn't know how to pick his Administrators, in fact, he use to have an Administrator who would get high and would sign on and abuse commands against players and pretty much do what he wants. I wasn't surprised to find out about this. Money is the root of all evil, and James is milking the money train until he can't. In the end, it will all mean nothing because without the community there will be nothing investing into the "money train".

He must of forgot: "Well, he forgot when you have defeated the final boss of the Elite Four you must face Gary. That is where he went wrong."

[Usagimimi]

lol well we all know everything's more fun when you're high :P You still have common sense though!

and lol @ Gary <<

[Surgation]

Okay, so I read through this and nearly came at the hilarity of it all. I'm going to destroy this thread in a single post and embarrass whoever the f*** this clown is who decided to say arcanaRO was corrupt. But firs,t I'll address their personal problem.

Look, you stupid, spineless, racist piece of s***, James is black. I don't give a f*** if he sounds like a white, cockney bastard. He's black. Stop being a f*** moron.

Moving on.

So, you say gears have four slots, yes?



Mind showing me where those four slots are?

We have wings now? Really?



Ohhh, you meant wings that do the exact same thing as slotted sunnies and lack the defense and str bonuses wings are supposed to have? You mean the wings James added for weeaboo faggots such as yourself to look KAWAII *^_^* with? Yeah, those are so op, almost as much as slotted sunnies which every basic server has.

Now on to the named items. Yeah, only people who know the staff can do that. Oh, wait..



WHAT THE UNHOLY f*** IS THIS BLACK MAGIC? Why, it's an npc intended to do just that, name items!

Oh wait, but items GMs give you can't be named, right? But that makes no sense, since a GM would obviously add slots for their friends. Hmmm...



Oh nigger, looks like you neglected to locate and read what the NPC says! I'll get you some Kleenex for those tears of sorrow soon enough.

Next up: Donor items



I'm positive it says in the description it's upgradeable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm well-educated and haven't had any problems reading up until now.

You also mentioned something about unknown items. I'm assuming you meant this nifty message you're trying to use to make the server look corrupt that is a result of signing your items?



Yeah, you can really do something with that. The so-called unknown item isn't even usable as you can see from the color of the font. Looks like your evil plot just got foiled, brosef.

As for GMs giving friends items..



Wow, my gear is so op. Look at that +4 Valk Armor with Observation that leaves me open for freezing and stone cursing, not to mention Asura and Acid Demonstration. Oh, and Variants that took all of thirty minutes to obtain with a a few COMPETENT players. God damn, those are some nice sunnies. I'm sure the hundreds of maya purples we had to farm as well as the weeks of effort we put forth into taking that castle from a guild five times our size doesn't justify us having one or two in the guild, huh? Or how about that one GR we have as opposed to kel's GR, DR and GTB? Yeah, we're cheatin' hxc, bro.

Protip: See those four card slots? Good, now see how the last three are grayed out? There's a reason for that. It means you can't use them. If you care to dispute it just look at the hair screenshot that has one empty slot and three gray ones beside it. Guess I'm mentally gay, 'cause I just blew your mind.


I know you're upset that you couldn't handle four or five decent RO players with your pathetic pinoy army, but enough is enough. At least be honest the next time you try to make aRO look bad.

In conclusion, this is why I'm hot:



Now go cry in your soup, you pussywaffle f***.

 Was there really any need for your barrage of insults?
I suggest calming down a bit before making any further posts here.

[Xarale]

@Surgation - While I'm happy for you to come here and "destroy the thread" with your evidence countering what was said in the review, you're pretty much proving the OPs' point about the abusive community with the amount of personal insults you've thrown out in your post.  Had you kept your cool, your post might've been quite a decent one. (aside the last screenshot which adds nothing to the thread except a boost to your own ego)

I understand you're angry with what the reviewer is saying, but if you're wishing to prove them wrong & make any further posts, you can start by dropping the abusive attitude.

Thanks,

[Surgation]

I won't need to make any further posts; my first one said it all. Also, you're jumping the gun and generalizing based solely on what I said. Just because I'm "abusive" (I'm assuming you've never had anyone lie in order to get you a bad rep for no reason before or you'd think otherwise) doesn't mean the entire server is. I rarely have time to play anymore with college and all going on, and I only confront those who say something first. This person decided to lie on James, not to mention he's being racist; he doesn't deserve my respect due to the aforementioned reasons. Sure, you can say I'm confrontational, but I'm just calling them out on their BS.

I've proven everything they said wrong. The only way you can say otherwise is if you assume I have clones of myself roaming the server. An ego boost isn't what I looked for in that last post, either. If you paid attention you'd realize that castle is the one you must hold in order to effectively farm Maya Purples. They talked so much crap about the good cards we have, acting like we needed GM assistance to get them. NEGATIVE. We worked for our gears just like everyone else.

Hope they learn to be truthful in the future.

[chaesun]

This thread seems to be more of an attack towards ArcanaRO than anything. This player has not played this server long enough to spout all of these remarks.

Indeed James does not sound black. BUT that doesn't mean he isn't. Do I have to use "La" and 'fobby' english to have you know that I am asian? The GM team is as far from corrupt as they can get. Lauren was on the team prior to 'dating' Isaac. She is also a long time player who has been there since ArcanaRO first opened. Actually, you know Devil Square? Yea she scripted that stuff. James probably does take the scripts of eAthena, So what? How many servers don't?

These "elite" players you speak of. They aren't persay 'elite' as to the gears or builds they choose. Don't get me wrong, their personalities aren't up to par. But the way the play the game is far much better than your average player don't you think? Doesn't this have you step your game up? The fact that you get killed every single time or you can't even participate in a Woe, a Koth, or even PVP efficiently? and the fact that they call you lewd names? You'll find those type of people anywhere you go. Shxt, you'll find them in real life, in your work places.

There are some pretty good players on the server that both have good gear and play it well. If you don't have the tactics and the skills to play, what's the point?

And this server has never had wings. I wouldn't be on this server if they ever did. although it has a lot of great 'custom' head gears.

Every server is different, I've been here for a good year and a half. And I'm still treated like shxt sometimes but I have great friends on here. That's why I'm still here. And it's one of the best servers I've ever played in my 8 years. Other servers lacked in something. And this one has all the right parts.

The poster, I've spoken to you in game. And I am not on your side. Your post or rather attack is faulty and lacks evidence. If you really want to know Arcana, play it. Honestly, we're all friends.

[mickiedeez]

act as if they're from Anon

I believe you mean 4chan. We are all Anon.

[MikeArcanaRO]

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.

[ http://s950.photobucket.com/albums/ad349/NonUvgUser/ ]

* 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.


[ MSN Chat Log With An Impersonator, Or Is It Real? ]

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:

I'm going to destroy this thread in a single post and embarrass whoever the f*** this clown is who decided to say arcanaRO was corrupt.

Funny, the thread is still here.

As for GMs giving friends items..



Wow, my gear is so op. Look at that +4 Valk Armor with Observation that leaves me open for freezing and stone cursing, not to mention Asura and Acid Demonstration. Oh, and Variants that took all of thirty minutes to obtain with a a few COMPETENT players. God damn, those are some nice sunnies. I'm sure the hundreds of maya purples we had to farm as well as the weeks of effort we put forth into taking that castle from a guild five times our size doesn't justify us having one or two in the guild, huh? Or how about that one GR we have as opposed to kel's GR, DR and GTB? Yeah, we're cheatin' hxc, bro.

Funny, because 1 screenshot of some person's gears, doesn't prove to me that you didn't @item stuff for your friends.

Mind you, he didn't even provide proof, but that point is moot.

Just saying, your evidence, isn't all that sturdy.

P.S. Anyone can edit their GRF files to make stuff either appear or not appear.
P.S.S Don't believe anyone anything says over the internet.

I'm going to destroy this thread in a single post and embarrass whoever the f*** this clown is who decided to say arcanaRO was corrupt.

Funny, the thread is still here.

Editing GRF files is a lot of trouble to disprove someone, especially when they lack the evidence in the first place. ;o

[GorthexTiger]

Why do you think I said it was a "moot" point?

And you saying you don't have a command isn't enough.

Hell, you could throw the atcommand logs, the GM logs, and every other friggin log you have and your still not gonna have enough proof because all those things can be changed very easily. And guess what. I can claim you changed your logs and you have no proof to rebuke anything I just said.

And if your not a GM, why do you care? You're way too emotional involved then in your server if you have to start using racial insults to vent your frustration out at some annoynmous reviewer. !earn nerdrage

Anyways, I'm out. Have fun with this one.

I just thought of something.......who cares this servers dead go home
EVERYONE GO HOME!

EDIT:

And this makes me laugh even more.

Did it die because the s*** hit the fan or because of some other reason?

Hey Stragulate or w/e, go rage elsewhere plz.

You are by far the worst troll I've seen on a forum in the past year, if not ever. It's obvious you're either a butthurt b**** who once played the server or a butthurt b**** who's taking up for their friend. Either way, you suck at this game and are losing it.

Bottom line: Nigger's claims got debunked and you're trying too hard to anger someone who's laughing at your futile attempts to do so.

Hey Gorthex, go be a failure elsewhere, please. It's obvious from your PMS raging that you know nothing about RO. Please stop sucking the OP's sack for just a moment and use logic. Good day.

 flaming members, racist comments.  Not allowed in the forum.  Escalating you to the next warning level.

[GorthexTiger]

You are by far the worst troll I've seen on a forum in the past year, if not ever.

I'm honored that you consider me a troll.

It's obvious you're either a butthurt b**** who once played the server or a butthurt b**** who's taking up for their friend. Either way, you suck at this game and are losing it.

Oh now pot, stop trying to call me black: who came here and tried to defend a dead server? D:

Play their server? That's a laugh.
Friends with them? Please keep the lulz going.

It's hard to see where you pull this from when the server I work and administrate on is right beneath my posts.

Bottom line: Nigger's claims got debunked and you're trying too hard to anger someone who's laughing at your futile attempts to do so.

Oh, but I did. Please tell me that you resort to more humorous insults when your really riled up because your racist ones and your attempts to call me a failure aren't enough.

Hey Gorthex, go be a failure elsewhere, please. It's obvious from your PMS raging that you know nothing about RO.

Yes! Insult my knowledge! Because debunking your points, means I'm PMSing.
Funny, I never knew that you could tell someone knew nothing of RO because they were PMSing.
And if I do know nothing of RO, could you please explicitly detail that? Because I have an entire post count on eA and a few support posts here that provide concrete proof I do. Just saying.

Please stop sucking the OP's sack for just a moment and use logic. Good day.

Good day to you too! You get out there and fight the good fight little guy!

[Prodigy]

I highly advise a moderator please close this thread as it is getting a bit out of hand. I don't think a moderator should have let a thread continue this long with the fact that there was a post made by Surgation and it was predictable how the outcome would turn out.  I do believe he shouldn't have been the only one liable or only one to receive a warning considering GorthexTiger should have received one equally as well. By him posting in the shout box "Lol @ arcana" and all seems like a bit of the same attitude Surgation is displaying on a lower level which you guys still warned him about regardless.

On another note, I am the owner of ArcanaRO. Don't believe me? My msn is [email protected] same email used by my forum account on the server forums as well. I can contribute more evidence as to me being the current owner of this server as well if needed. I do not have a slight clue to where you got the yahoo conversation from. Since I do not have a email associated with yahoo to begin with yet only with hotmail. As my GM who posted before stated, anyone could pretend to be anything on the internet. So don't believe everything you hear and see just based from a random meeting with a few people in a chatroom. That's pretty immature and childish.

I figured that the lies from this thread would die out due to evidence provided by a few current and even Explayers defending the fact that this thread is mainly an attack thread against us.

I do believe GorthexTiger you do have a point that nothing can be hard proof. But if this is so how can you believe the thread's poster evidence or clues to my server being the way it is. All I can say, why follow a half made review contributed by a reviewer with no background or convincing history on the RMS forums as a great reviewer. And play the server yourself and prove these opinions you're trying to justify with hard proof you've tried the server as well.

I'm not gonna say believe me or anything but mainly that this is just what the thread was intended to do if you see the way it's going. It was mainly a thread to spread a few lies and rumors about my server to throw it in the dust as well as give the staff bad reputations as well. We have loyal players from UVG who play daily and honestly been with us from day one of the server's beginning. They have donated for their items and I can show the paypal logs to prove so. And they have contributed to try and refine their items and have failed many times causing them to even get more! It's known serverwide you can refine donation items as long as they are upper headgear only. That's how they are refineable. It's obvious this is more than likely an attack thread based on the explayer's overall "experience" has been compromised by others who used to play or don't play at all with irrefutable information.

I highly advise a moderator please close this thread as it it getting a big out of hand. I don't think a moderator should have let a thread continue this long with the fact that there was a post made by Surgation and it was predictable how the outcome will turn out.  I do believe he shouldn't have been the only one liable or only one to receive a warning considering GorthexTiger should have received one equally as well.

The problem in this thread has been dealt with.  Therfore I won't be closing it yet, I trust the rest of you to keep it clean.

I don't see why Gorthex deserves a warning.  He's not insulted anyone, nor has he used racial insults to prove his points.  He's simply questioning the screenshots provided by Surgation.  Providing he keeps it clean, I don't see a problem with that.
Surgation on the other hand, walked into this thread mouthing off at the OP, using personal & racial insults.  Furthermore, he continued to do so after being warned/asked nicely to stop.

Anyway, let's get back on topic please.

My identity, and sources are "anonymous".

Alright, that's all you need to say.
I don't believe a word you say then.
If you had even the slightest amount of faith in your own words, you'd state who you are and your sources.
Regardless of whatever backlash you may receive.
That's all I have for this discussion, and I will not change my mind, because of the words I have quoted, which were the very first words of your original post.

Have a nice day, and good luck to the admin of ArcanaRO.

Reasonable but I would like to know if it was you or another mod who took action to remove his shouts from the shoutbox. I'm not sure if its possible to remove the shouts yourself but I tested and failed to figure out how to do so. If it was removed, why did you or someone else think he didn't have a legitimate reason to conduct a moderator action against him? I would still count that as a warning against him.

[GorthexTiger]

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.

@Xarale: Thank you, and as long as no one breaks my stupid-o-meter I won't think I'll have to flip off the handle on someone.

And if it breaks it too bad, I can make a phone call to a friend of mine who can fix it. ($20 co-pay though) XD

[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.

[ http://s950.photobucket.com/albums/ad349/NonUvgUser/ ]

* 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.



[ MSN Chat Log With An Impersonator, Or Is It Real? ]

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.

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?

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.

[Temjin]

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?

locked.
