And I'm back, testing what there is out there.

So, I had a blast on the server I got suggested the last time, but as the time passed, I noticed that it was just... no. And no. And once again no. Not for me. So, let's try again, shall we? Karuna is looking for...

Rates: 3/3/2 - 25/25/25 (yes, this translates into a LOW RATE)
Main language: English
Max base/job level: 99/70 trans, 99/50 nontrans
Max ASPD: 190 (I will not negotiate about this)
Renewal: I don't mind.
3rd jobs: No. I don't want.
Custom items: Are fine by me, as long as it's not +20 to all stats or something alike that breaks the game.
Custom cards: No. And I don't want the already existing cards to be modified in any way.
Custom monsters: I don't really like a whole lot of these cause most of the time they're just poorly designed and executed.
Custom maps: If the main town is a custom map, I don't mind. Other than that, I'd like to keep it nice and original, kk? <3
Population: Close to 100 players playing actively is good enough, I'm happier with lower amounts (such as 70 or so) as well.
Donations: Are fine, if there's also a way for a player that's not able to pay for donation things to gain the same items.

I don't want any servers to show up to this topic advertising their awesome WoE/PvP scenes, cause I really could care less. I want a server that has a lot of PvM/MVP activity (with proper parties preferably), because that's the only thing that keeps me playing.

No dual clienting and no trans classes is kinda a turn off for me, sorry. ^^;

Come to Lets-RO. I just moved my guild over, and we're recruiting heavy for WoE.

Rates: 20/20/10.
Max Base/Job: Standard
190 ASPD
No Renewal

A lot of ProMod features are going to get brought in, but for a PvM only player, these aren't even going to affect you, aside from economic shifts (MVP cards that are banned in WoE may be hard to sell). We're currently trying to keep PvM mostly stock, but once WoE is looking good you may see a few little tweaks to keep things challenging and make MVPing more accessible for all classes.

We will likely start reviewing some of the official fixes for the Assassin Cross, as I do feel the second best harasser in the game should not also be the best breaker and tied for best striker, along with having some of the highest HP in the game. Don't expect a big nerf stick though, as it's not a huge imbalance - if anything, it will be one of the official EDP nerfs being tested right now.

I can vouch for the server owner from my EuphRO days, very clean server, and a good community. I'll be honest, we recently had a bit of a bot invasion, but it's getting cleaned up as we speak and Harmony is getting implemented.

It's the best low rate you're going to find, whether you're looking for cooperation or competition. Since it's a young server, you won't have ANY trouble finding people who want to MVP to get geared up - in fact, Suicide Kings would LOVE to recruit you. I don't actually work for LetsRO lol, I just know the owner and run a guild. :p

[Karuna-tan]

Hm, sounds tempting tbh. I don't mind if there'll be an EDP nerf, it's not like I used it a lot with my own sinx anyways. I might be downloading the client this weekend then. I just hope that there won't be any of the problems I faced on previous servers I tried (i.e. people telling me that FS prof is not useful in PvM/MVP, since I love maining one).

I'll check out the server's site and see what it's all about.

Support Profs are pretty handy in some MVP fights, like FBH. You'll probably have to deal with morons, but you're welcome in SK. Who knows, maybe with the right group you'll even start enjoying WoE, and maybe your interest in PvM/exploring/silliness will get a couple more of my friends to come on and join ya. :p
