I didn't play this server, but just watching it makes me sad. All the people I played with and servers once vibrant. /sob
What is the saddest moment for you during your RO playing days?
For me, I lost a precious card I had worked so hard for due to a storage bug.
Has to be when the server announce that its live have to end.
Other than that, watch my friend(s) said quit and the item give-away after ;( doesn't make me feel happy to gain what is left from a friend.
When the first server I ever played on shut down.
Supposedly they got a C&D.

When a good friend in game suddenly gone without saying anything and never on anymore. Well that was sad because back then we had no social media to stay in touch
/sob
Hearing that a player had a terminal disease that would end with her life in 1 year.
Seeing the members from my guild, who I was getting closer to, in LegacyRO in 2008 slowly leave while switching to different servers until it was just me who's mostly online in 2009 ending in PhaseRO. A small reunion in 2010 with whatever members we can salvage, reduced to 5-6 including myself.
We barely communicate anymore nowadays and the number of posters in our (mostly dead) forum can be counted by one hand. With single posts taking up weeks to months.
my saddest momment is when my account official RO, have got hacked, because my stupidity self /sob
I've got two:
Waking 3 minutes late before Fallen Bishop spawned. It died and the server announced someone else got the card. Devastating.
My favorite server going down in flames, even after it had a promising rebirth and so much more effort put into it by the community.
I say it's the time when you realized that your all alone hunting and no one wants to talk..
Seeing a good server shut down when you grew to love and accepted it as your new home is always a bad moment and we have to go about looking for a new home. But the saddest moment in RO is when you lose friends whom you trust and had some of the best times with.
Some sad stuff I can relate to. Another sad thing is I'm still around when all the people I played with quit 4-5+ years ago.
This was my sad day on the OLD WolfRO from Lightside LegendRO. *Sigh*

PS: Not my video
Being there when pRO finally closed down. I grew up with the game (been playing since the beta) so it felt like a part of me died when the server was killed.

Saddest moment? When one of my favorite servers that I was a GM at closed due to financial problem, its Chu!RO, sadly. I was able to search for a server like it, but it died as well, due to inactive staff and lack of players and that's WarfareRO.
Even if its almost 2 years Chu!RO closed down, I'm still in hopes that the owner will reopen it again, but he's having a good life after he got his new job a year ago.
When 2 of my guildmates that I met while playing ragnarok and had alot of fun playing for some months went on vacation (hunting trip) but they both got killed in a car accident on their way there.....RIP
It felt quite sad when I played on the renewal server (I am afraid, I cannot provide its name, because the GMs are too sensitive and cannot tolerate the truth and objective criticism), joined cheat-chat in the main chat, and then called names a lot and without any reason. The GM was online and didn't do anything about it, but only posted some rule about main chat on the forum days later.
Although I read this topic up to the end, and I thought that it was me who had a sad moment in RO, but now I see...
Everything is relative...
when aero started having problems. it was my 1st real PS. and it sucked cuz i had put in so much time in it and then i just lost hope after rollbacks after rollbacks. i never found another PS that i could enjoy as much as aero.
My saddest story when , lose pvp & lose WoE LOL /pif
When Renewal was implemented.
This is just a personal opinion though. I've played on 4-5 Renewal servers and soon quit due to the messed up mechanics.
It may be caused from me being used to the original concept of RO though. But like I said, personal opinion.
When Yusifer killed Lunchbox RO by being a selfish bastard, making the head GM emoquit. Tom remembers.
Basically when I see people that I love dearly leave the server in search of greener pastures.
It's like as if I'm an immortal person. I meet people, I love them, I create memories- yet in the end they always die at the end of the story, and then I am left hanging like 'What now?'. It's sad when I look at old screenshots and just see how different the server was when they were around. What's even sadder is that I'm still here, still looking for friends, still trying to recreate memories that I know will never be the same.
My saddest momment if WOE have not pro guild member
its to hard give them command and instruction.
and my saddest momment is , killed by P O R I N G /pif
when I stopped playing iRO in 2003, left a hole in my heart I could never fill.
When I see good GMs leave their RO jobs, true RL > RO, but it's sad nonetheless. /sob
When all my friends quitting. DAmn, FeelsLonelyMan.
the corruption of passionRO will never be forgotten
i was a GM there at the time, and one of the main funders was a complete corrupt bastard. he would give himself and his guild mates rigged items(+10 refined items, @stats, etc.) i still remember how i got mercilessly lynched for opposing it once i found out about it and how they tried to silence me
and i remember how i came on RMS about it and everyone just called bs on me
bad times

^This
And.....
When I see a server on its verge of death.
A once live and active community turned into server populated by vendors. Being separated from your mates not knowing where'd they go.
I have two, when euRO beta ended and I didn't have the money back then to pay monthly for it. And then when EternityRO closed due to database corruption while I still had so much fun playing with my friends on it.
Generally losing friends because a server closes it the hardest thing for me.
Seeing Storm Gust stacking High Wizards.
i cri evrytiem.
-Reality
When I ran out of electricity during a WoE session Hahah /heh
loosing some trusted friends in game. i played different kind of servers usually from low to mid rate i met different kinds of people and interacted with many players that's why i came across with some people/player that really got closed to me in game then suddenly the server will shut down while me and my friend has no contact with each other outside ragnarok online.
Today, when the 1st server I ever loved shut down.
#2#</3#4words
When Deliverance RO shut down and the GM didnt post anything about it for over 3 months. Loved that server
Also when Noob fury RO died. sad days
Also seeing what iRO has turned into. The days of having a classic server are dead.
When they made third jobs.. It divided the community completely.

RIP RO community. miss u baby
when an RO is closed /ok
or when an owner starts abusing his powers /sob
When your favorite server dies.
Chu!RO why </3
For me honestly, was the end of pRO. Like srsly, sweat and blood I invested my life on it.
/sob
My saddest moment in RO is when you get bond with someone and play with him for days then he ignore you in game and you feel like you have nothing to do in this server.
When you really attached to a certain server and sadly went down and all of your in-game friends gone too.
The day they released Renewal. /sob
I think the saddest moments are on a servers deathbed , just sitting there knowing that its all about to be over. Many people will come back to the server to say their goodbyes.
Server Disconnected
Wasn't a single day but rather the time leading up to it when the close friends I had made slowly began to stop playing. At that point I was playing more to be together with them instead of the game itself.
Closing of official servers in my country /sob
When the management of the server decides to close the server. (Private Server) /sob

Yes.. that =( and when the game is slowly dying... a sadness that keeps going.
When you finally felt at home on a server, playing with your friends more than the game it self.
Then it decided to shut the server down. and now,
Im still looking for that new home and to meet new/old friends and remember how I enjoyed playing at that time..
My saddest moment is when there is a big bug ................................................ and the conseqvenses not FIXable :'(
My saddest moment in RO is when the miniboss died and the drop suddenly fell in the other side of warp portal and its beyond my reach huhuhuhuh.
my saddest moment when our server that we build together, broken because one of GM team biased /wah
Sad moment is when i quit servers i play on...
I remember this one time in 2005 when I was playing this official server. (http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/5wZdQMI.png)
There was a point when I spoke to this girl sprite swordsman in Izlude at like 4pm every day. We ended up having a lot of mutual interests and even downloaded the same stuff of LimeWire.
Things were looking good, and the chemistry was at an all time high. (http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/rejoice.png)
A couple days after, I was informed that this particular female swordsman sprite that I spoke to on a daily basis, was a 31-year-old Filipino man. (http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/HWaQd6Z.png)
I still get nightmares to this day(http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/Jtqj3GI.png)
Omg lmao.
Saddest moment was I bought a $15 headgear in a server and it broke going from +4 to +5 using enriched elu.
The closing of a long life span server in which you dedicated a big part of your life ..
Saddest momment when i farming stuff and heard Arsene Wenger is staying at arsenal
It was when the moment I killed an AK then before it died it brandished speared my paladin, ended up dying and saw the AK card dropped right in front of my two eyes. Freaking haunted me for days.
The moment when i joined N**aRO and spent $$ on it. /wah /sob
when a server gets wiped due to some guild duping gold or some shizz.
The moment when you realize everyone had to go multi-clienting to level up a character and ended up farming for zeny alone 90% of the time, playing other games made me feel guilty about multi-clienting
(Not saying people shouldn't but if you don't get it don't bother finding out)
Well for this I had to be outside of RO to feel it (actually I just got tired of RO, at least that's what I had initially thought)
The original reason why I wanted to play Ragnarok "Online" it's because I get to venture with people online to discover
the game, unfortunately the majority of players simply don't care and just follow "how to make millions ASAP or how to be pro ASAP or the worst > how to be right"
(Greed is good but I've seen too many textbook examples of people religiously following guides just to farm, now that I think back about it that's actually the saddest thing I can imagine in Ragnarok for me not to mention nerfs were placed in order to prolong the process)
Now that's out of the way, I think I have convinced myself that RO is dead unless I am back in 2003 again.
Now I finally understand why people thought "we" were paid to play RO, thanks for reminding me why I am on the internet
RO has come a long way since 2003, and MMO had changed a lot since then, it will never be the same again
Yummy90 that sound very discouraging. I agree sometimes we run into situation that it is more efficient to use alts than to find a real human to play together. It's not just in RO, many mmo have these situations. Back in 2003~ when our computer can only handle one client this isn't a thing, don't we all miss those days :/
When aero2 has been closed.
Damn I got depressed.
gettin scammed outta a mil ages ago in the official game. the gms just it shrugged of /omg /wah
^They said sad moments not funny ones! D: (Tell us more)
There's been a few times in the past I've done or said stuff that probably upset people, thinking about how I could have kept my mouth shut makes me feel sad owo, other than that RO life is good!
Lots of friends missing but they're not dead(hopefully)! So no point feeling bad about that :X
some guy in my party asks " Have you spoken to xxxxx? "
"what are you talking about ? " I respond
"you know, xxxxxx? "
"Do you know me or something ? "
/wah
got banned by znro admin on his server because his math is wrong /wah
I was once trying to help my friend's PS by making the server looks alive and filled with people, so whenever there is a new player I opened 2 or more clients and chat with myself. This is beyond sad...... oh and the server? Dead after a month..... /sob

LF> friends like this
When renewal was released on iRO /sob
I have this girlfriend that I've met in this high rate server right? And maybe I've spent some couple of bucks to suffice some items.
After a year, I've found it that he is a fat man and just want some donate items on me.
Well, dont judge me cuz I am still like 10 yrs old at that time.
It haunts all the time bro and I'm already 27 yrs old yesterday.

Best story so far xD
My saddest moment is when my best friend reported me for RMT-ing him.
3+ years of hard work gone just like that /wah

Now that's pretty sad.
when the server stopped working was the most saddest moment for me. /sob
Move on to other server =P
When Origins RO upgraded to Rebirth T_T
I met some dude on a 3rd job server, only time i played it
He put up with all my s*** for like 2 weeks straight and played a tank lord knight
I went to farm alice but i killed over 3000+ on a highrate server and it never dropped
Probably removed but idk the server was s*** to begin with really
There was this ranger too who would probably in response say the saddest thing to happen to them is that I refused to give them my mana cause i didnt agree with the MvP system in renewal
When they announced that euRO would be closed.
Didnt transfer my account, and am happy I did not. Wouldnt have been the same.
When iRO banned all of Europe and then when fRO announced they got outbid by the russian hoster for the euRO rights...
When I had to block two of my long-term friends from RO a year ago. People do change!
Well, my new saddest moment is right now. Gravity filing actual lawsuits against private servers. Private servers closing down out of fear left and right, even those that have been going for 15 years.
Even though Gravity has law on their side, I still think they are wrong doing this. This has gotten far beyond copyright rules. The culture and accomplishments that were created through emulators and private servers greated something amazing. Hundreds of people working together over the span of almost 20 years, for free, to make a game they love even better. An environment where everyone can adjust an MMORPG to their liking and a competitive environment between server where every player could choose what kind of setting they prefer and just play there, exactly the way they love it.
This is a piece of art that in this form will probably never exist again. It's just not right to end it.
As someone who was involved in the emulator development for around 15 years, this saddens me deeply. I barely can sleep.
I really wish Gravity would have gone the opposite way. Legalize private servers and integrate them into their business model.
This is definitely a dark time for the RO private server community /sob
iRO ip banned [Eu] an euRO close not much time after crazy... Lost many friend i use to play with.

This was actually quite sad. I hated what eu did to this game and it's community. It's like they intentionally wanted to destroy it.
