LegendRO

[skullxiii]

Neat low rate server but, frankly it needs more players and more of the Staff's participation. Since I cannot review on RMS just yet, I have decided to post a more slightly in-depth review of this server.

Edit: It has been 4 months now and the number of players is slowly increasing. The majority are mostly returns of veterans but we do have a small share of newcomers.

"Our rates are 13x/13x/5x for base experience, job experience and item drop rates respectively. It won't take you long to get where you want to go in LLRO, but there certainly won't be a lack of challenge!"

             

Server Population: 10~50

Server

Stability (10/10)
Availability (10/10)

The lag I mostly get is because I am on a wireless, sharing the connection. During my first month of playing, only one problem occurred which took almost 2 days to fix. Thankfully, this kind of problem is rarely present and when it does happen, it's worth a bit of waiting time.


Community

Friendliness (10/10)
Eventfulness (8/10)

I easily made new friends, even though the population is severely lacking at the moment. Players are ready to help newcomers however they can by either sharing some zeny and items, assisting on a quest or explaining the basics of gameplay to those who have never played the game.

I have been to several dungeon raids with a few people. We did mostly Thanatos Tower and Endless Tower and had a great time planning several tactics for each MVP floor. As for GM events, it is occasional. I managed to participate in 4 events during my first month of experience.

Edit: Recently, GM events have increased, thus why I am upgrading the Eventfulness score by one point, making it 8.


Game Master

Friendliness (10/10)
Availability (8/10)
Helpfulness (9/10)

This was a bit hard for me to score since the GMs are barely present in-game or sometimes are just AFK. Although, I did manage to talk to 2 of them and friendliness is not something that is missing. To make up for this, there is a Help NPC that tells you which GM/Helpers are currently online in-game.

Edit: GMs are now frequently available, making the Availability score an 8. Whenever a player has a question, they can promptly answer to the best of their capabilities so the Helpfulness score went up to 9.


Game Play

Economy (6/10)
Guild Competition (5/10)
Class Balance (10/10)

The economy is so-so. Some items are priced fairly while others are overpriced because it is lacking in the market. As for earning zeny, thanks to Moscovia's Mavka's drops, it makes it rather easy, maybe a little bit too easy. There are other locations that also makes it easy for farming such as Rachel Sanctuary and Einbroch Mines. Thankfully some locations are only accessible after completing a quest.

I am not sure how active is WoE since I am not participating at the moment. As for KoE, since I have been in one, I can confirm that it is active and that there is some participation.

Edit: Guild Competition dropped to 5 since I have realized during my stay that one guild dominates WoE.

In my personal opinion, this server has the best class balance but this is just based on daily observations. There is none of this so called "third job" and I cannot say if it will ever be implemented or not on this server.


Overall (86/100)

So far I enjoy this server and I am certain that it has the potential to get back on its feet if more players give it a try. As a new player of Ragnarok Online and LegendRO, I can say that I am not disappointed.


I recommend to give it a try!
