ZigaRO can be found at zigaro.org.
I've been playing this server for a day now, but have been watching it for over a month. I've been reading the forums, and asking the individual players what they're experience of the game was and is. Here's what I've found.
ZigaRO was recently started a few months ago, and already has an average of 50 players online. The community is extremely friendly, the donations are NOT overpowered, and there's still time to catch up! No corrupted GM's, the administrator(s) are/is extremely nice, but when it comes to botting he is quite strict. The GM's are constantly checking for bots, and the overall server competition is growing exponentially. There's is but one problem: the economy.
If I had to rate the servers economy, I would give it a 6/10, maybe more, maybe less. Regardless, there may or may not be a reason for this. Perhaps it's low since there aren't many people? Perhaps people prefer to hunt their own gears and not sell in this server? Well it doesn't matter what the reason is, the score is what is stated above, and that's final. The reasons usually don't matter, but then again, that's just my own opinion. Anyway, I guess I'll post the rest of what I have to say in a nice, clean, format:
Stability (9/10) : No crashes yet, a lag spike here and there, but who knows. It might be my internet. I seem to be the only one having the problem.
Availability (9/10) : The server is almost always up, and there's always somebody online. The least people I've seen online is probably 45. Amazing for only a few months of hard work!
Friendliness (9/10) : Another + for me. I came in with nothing, and by the end of the day I had tons of friends (sounds cheezy) who leeched me and helped me with equips. There's always the odd jerk or two, but that's not unique to this server. I'd rather say it's the mundane throughout them all. 10/10 isn't possible I guess.
Eventfulness (5/10) : Actually, I haven't seen an event. Maybe it's just bad luck, but unfortunately, I have to rate honestly. Sorry ZigaRO =[
GM Friendliness (10/10) : All of them are friendly, as long as they don't suspect you of botting. They treat everybody equally, and when not busy, the GM's are always fun to talk to!
GM Availability (10/10) : There's 5 administrators/GM's, so there's always one available. This is the part of the server I like the most; this and the GM Helpfulness of course.
GM Helpfulness (10/10) : Absolutely wonderful service. They're always willing to do whatever they can to help.
Economy (6/10) : Stated above.
Guild Competition (7/10) : Simply because there is no WoE yet. From PvP the competition is balanced though.
Class Balance (9/10) : Class balance is good, since everybody is fair and nice.
Total = 8.5/10. Good job ZigaRO!
There are current problems with the server that I feel must be stated, such as a problem with the /q1 /q2 and such. However, it's client sided and will be fixed immediately. The server patches and updates almost weekly, which keeps it updated and on the edge. It's going to be quite a threat in the near future!
This server is basically recommended to anybody who likes a normal 99/70 server, around 1k/1k/100x drop, and a fun time! Everybody is welcome!
