Ratemyserver.net is known among players of Ragnarok Online around the world as the best database for what they need to find. Whether it be a world map, what monster drops a certain item, or the stats of thanatos, what cards can go in a new stiletto, gladius, or Javelin, what custom headsets are available to servers, an organized list of most populated servers within a certain rate, and then what the latest update rumors are, RMS is your place to look to.

I should, however, correct a statement. www.ratemyserver.net is known throughout the private server community of the interweb as the #1 source for Ragnarok Online. It is known as the #1 resource for our loyal players, an exclusive website displaying the most pertinent information for pservers across the Ragnarok Online cloud for the internet, even when it is not pertinent, it is the most organized information cache, you can find whatvere you need in seconds.

Now, I want to present an idea. Earlier i said that RMS is exclusive, and as far as I know, no plans are being made to change that. Perhaps its being talked about behind our webpages, but I want to officially propose that we stretch our databases out to other games. this is simply the idea. I am not proposing a plan behind this yet, just the idea. if we get enough of the population behind the raw...idea of supporting other online games, then we can make an organized effort to make a plan that will quickly and efficiently implement other games' databases into RMS.

The name ratemyserver is not exclusive to RO. Lets be as beneficial to ourselves and everyone else that has an interest into pservers, and bring them the resources that they lust after when looking through our most helpful website.

eh i dunno, but just wait for an answer from yc

but personally, that'd be a huge amount of work to have DB's and forums, and etc for more then just 1 MMORPG

Scars

Talked to her about this, she's simply busy, and other games have other guide too, would be a hard entry without a solid team, and if you use this ratemyserver as base you are dis promoting Ragnarok which hopefully most of us don't want that to happen.

yC

yes busy will make progress of anything slow because on the database side it's mostly just me working on it.  Also, I got most of the info from eAthena's database files.  For another game i'd expect i can pull info from emulator used files to be efficient. 

What game are you thinking about anyway?  Other games have other info site don't they?

now that i'd agree with =3

Shinn

meh we don't really know where RO2 will end up I mean is it even iRO2 yet? ...I just think RMS should keep focusing on RO and finding ways to improve it other than bringing on some RO2 into it

and also for the other games, keep in mind detailed item descriptions and such were possible for RMS was because eA and their dbs right? if lets say you are talking about some other games which has no emulators and such...how do you expect the staff of RMS to get the information? ..I doubt yC and ..uhh RitoBlade?(sp sorry) would go and play these random games just to find info for RMS >_>


meh just my 2! cents

Cheers~

cause after all the drama, I still slain em.

added poll for people who don't want to write out a reply. I'm seeing a lot of replies that talk about the execution of the idea. I want to stress again, this is not what the discussion is about. I'm sure with as large a community as this is, we can all band together to plan a phase by phase plan for a seamless execution and implementation of the plan. Once again, unless you vote to clarify, your reply should only pertain to the raw idea. Nothing to do with the plan...yet.

x3 well for RO2 i kinda meant when it comes out and is all finished and all ^^

Shinn

meh JJJ I doubt its gona go anywhere, in anycase I voted..I do support the idea of making it on new sites and affiliating with RMS..but other than that I think RMS should be left alone.

I think your poll choices are a bit biased, I wouldn't go as far as saying GTFO but I don't think it's a good idea for now. RMS is already time consuming on yc and it's set in a way to update for RO database. As for your suggestion have have the community help, face the facts we are RO addicts.

I think it's a little silly to not consider the execution part, feasibility is always a factor when starting a new project.

Hutchy

I think it would ruin the whole atmosphere of RMS.
