So after trying to go through all the RMS top listed servers i feel lost. What im looking for doesn't seem to excist.
I've played RO since the iRO beta and i played it until euRO came out, i moved onto there and played it for around a year.
Then i moved onto pServers and never looked back, however i started 'quitting' in 2010 after the big WoE guilds left and nobody really cared anymore.
That was around the time, people only wanted to play RO for it's WoE and Servers popped left and right trying to satisfy those kind of players.
Here's the thing tho: you can't and all the server admins that i have encountered since 2010 are either looking for a quick $$$ rush or are too simple minded to understand that WoE Server's aren't build to last.

With that backstory, I am truely looking for a lowrate server, preferbly pre-trans or at least no renewal. I am looking for a Server where you are not getting everything from the Battleground and I am looking for a Server that has at least been up for 3 month and has established at least 200 members. TalonRO seemed like the logical choice, but the Server has been online for too long with too much donation stuff.

If there's ANY server out there that matches my requirements, PLEASE i beg of you, post here.

Hey phoebs,

That's sadly the truth for many cases, and it is indeed hard to find a good low rate pre-renewal server with good WoEs. You can perhaps try out ElariaRO; They've got a pretty dedicated staff.

It's a pre-renewal low rate server that opened on April 1st (2 months and nearly a half). The player base is not as high as you'd expect, but compared to many other existing low rates of today with similar features, I think it's pretty good, and many new players are always joining. WoE also started last week, so lots of potential can still happen with that.

http://www.elariaro.eu/

You can also check the Wiki there for other specific details, and you can ask here or in our forum for any other questions.

Most WoE-oriented servers these days tend to be mid-high rates.

im playing at Roguard Classic currently
http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=detailedlistserver&serid=17383&itv=6&url_sname=Roguard%20Classic

its a preTrans server based on Episode 9 and 1/1/1 rates, so its pretty much like back in the iro / euro days
so if you are searching for the real ancient feeling, like RO was back then, you gonna find your fun there.
(no healer, no warper, hardcore mode like in - 2003 and earlier)

it also have a huge internal guard protection, cheating, botting is "almost" impossibruu. so a pretty legit server.
except some easy baby macros maybe.

server is roughly 3 weeks old.
but thats a good thing in terms of "its not to late to start this 1x rate server"

and has established at least 200 members.
were most arround 100 on peaktimes.
increasing thou.
still new


but i think a pretrans server with +200 online doesnt exists atm (except some "Highrate pretrans pure woe servers"
or balik-pinoy-Ro maybe ^^ )

SimplyRO meets all your criteria but one: It hasn't launched yet.
However, it's going to be a lowrate pretrans server with a strong focus on PvM.

General Information:
Rates: 3x/3x/3x (Cards and Equipment 6x, though)
Episode 8.2, that means: Old spawn locations, old monster stats etc.
Hidden Hat Quests: To have some headgear variety we have various headgear quests hidden throughout the game. Go and explore to find them!
There will be Battlegrounds albeit without BG gear.
Donations and V4P will provide you with pretty hats or various convenience items. Nothing more.

Please pay our website a visit and let us know if you are interested by saying Hi on the forums.

#offtopicinfo: I've played on euRO for 9 years and my team played there too. ^_^

Goodboy

TalonRO is not for everybody, and it HAS been around for quite a while, but I don't understand what you mean when you talk about donation items:  Talon has no donation items, barring a brief charity event that allowed one to obtain a costume and a unique pet.  Perhaps you are confusing the TalonCoin system with a donation system?   

I will say, however, universal access to MVP cards, obtainable Instant-cast, and cheap sp in the form of NPC available grapes and meat with lower weight means that the experience is going to be a bit different than officals anyway, and thus may not be what you are looking for.  If you haven't yet given it a full try, I'd urge you to do so, but if you have, I wish you well in your search for a suitable server. 

Regret

Maybe you should give ClassicRO a shot? It's a Pre-Trans EP 8.2 server.

Here's an overview of its features:
Rates: 9/9/9, 0.15% normal cards, MvP drops 3x and MVP cards 0.01%.
150 players peak but growing steadily -  Share range is 20 levels
NPCs such as Healer, Warper (towns & first dungeon levels), Resetter & Stylist
Bi-weekly Spotlight with item turn-ins & killing quests as well as headgears that encourage partying!
WoE supply boxes dropped by MVPs to encourage MVPing!
Customized Trans content such as Bio3 (Pre-Trans Bio3 mobs are damn cool.)
Host: Texas, USA - WoE is on Saturdays, 12:30-13:30 EST

And if you're interested in WoE, here's a video of the latest War of Emperium!

Hey, why don't your try out Roguard? It launched not even two weeks ago. It's pre-trans up to episode 9 with hardly any customization (stylist xD) and the best of all; 1x/1x/1x rates. I searched both high and low for a stable 1x rate server and finally found it. It's steadily growing; http://www.roguard-online.com/

If you're looking for a low rate server that won't disappear, I would recommend ElariaRO for sure. They have some good staff there, friendly community, and it's a bit more fresh than other servers like TalonRO. The community seems to be steadily growing as well.

Love Piamette? Check out WoonRO's latest update including the Piamette set & over 40 new headgears.

I got interested when you said it's more fresh than Talon. I saw it started in just April!! However when I check rankings, there are hundreds of people above 99/60+?! How do I navigate to the fresh low rate in the ranking options instead of the high rate? Would be fun with some leveling competition again!

Hello, phoebs!

I'd like to tell you about heRO!

Quote from: phoebs on Jun 09, 2014, 01:55 PM

We are pre-renewal with official max level of 99/70 and stats maxed at 99. Our rates are 5/5/3 and we sometimes go higher during seasonal events such as Christmas, the Server's Birthday and such. Quest exp is 5x, homunculus is 2x and we have a bonus for partying of +30% per extra party member when in share.

We have Battlegrounds available, but only Glorious/Brave/Valorous gears are available from it.

heRO is over 8 years old, we are proud to be a stable server that players can count on, we've never had any wipe during that time. We still have a lot of new players joining so don't worry it's not like everyone is maxed. People are very welcoming and many oldies like to welcome newcomers and help them get started.
Our online player count is usually around 250~300 but that does include a lot of merchants, still you can usually find people to party and since there is no dual client the players online are real ones.

TalonRO seemed like the logical choice, but the Server has been online for too long with too much donation stuff.
We have donations available, but all of our donation packs are chance based (such as Old Purple Boxes or Hatter Vouchers, which are used for Custom Hatter NPC), no over-powered gears or something not available to everyone through other means.


Some other fun things you'll find on heRO:

Light VS Dark Allegiance System
Bulletin Board NPC with player-entered missions
Mr. Hatter NPC (lots of official quest-less hats available)
Nobility System
Fishing
Mining
Styla the Stylist with 100+ custom hairstyles
Several Custom Quests
50+ Custom Mobs, some included in our 4 Unique Dungeons(Fairy Paradise, Thanatos Basement, True Poring Island, Neko Island)
Automated Events such as Poring Smash, Zombie Run, Fabre Tame, Wordzzle and Mystic Tower
GM Hosted Events such as the monthly Trials of Heroes and Fairy Auctions
Retro WoE (for non-trans only, on top of regular WoE)
Last but not least, a very nice community!
