TwistRO - plagarism

[Cecilia]

Alright, first of all, I would like to point out that there are two TwistROs out

http://twistro.webs.com
and
http://twistro.tripod.com

I informed the server owner of the first website that his name was already taken by another server. He didn't seem to care.

Next, everyone should check these two posts.

Thats obviously plagarism seeing how TwistRO stole it from EssenceRO and just edited a few things. I know this server isn't opened yet, but it is being advertised, not on RMS, but on other places so I find that this is a perfectly legitimate report.

Edit~~

Just noticed I posted this in the wrong section. My apologies

There is no such thing as "name stealing".  You can call Peter and someone else can be Peter too, it works the same way with server names.

[Cecilia]

Alright fine then, but that still doesn't justify the plagarism.

[Raguel]

I think this should be moved to Server Discussion.

And, yC, we are not talking about persons, but from servers. Similar names already generate confusion; imagine the same name?
Ok, ok, let's ignore that part.

Wow, just wow @stolen rules.

•Advertisement:
Advertising on EssenceRO through any public channel ingame is not allowed. This includes advertising other servers, trades involving real currency, websites containing custom quest information, and other websites in general. This includes public chat in towns, setting up chatrooms, and broadcasting. The exceptions are content on the EssenceRO domain and officially endorsed resources. All endorsed resources are included on the Resources page on the wiki.

Lul.

It seems someone deleted that section in the forum?

[mickiedeez]

crai moar anyone can name there server anything or use anything they want your fault for not encrypting

Essentially, all servers are a rip off of one another.
New servers are made, through the ideals and thoughts of another player who didn't agree or like on a previous server they were on.

They are made by the individuals thoughts and views, and made to their liking. Creativity and RO is like watered down beer. You can say what you want, but you're still running plain old RO.

Ideas are taken, rules are taken, content is taken, concepts are taken. Everything gets taken when someone makes a new server. And when it's taken, the new owner improves on what they think is "best."

So it can't be a rip off, when everything else and everyone else is doing the exact same thing.

I don't support theft, nor do I disprove it. It's just all ideas come from somewhere, and on RO. It comes from other people. Like chain mail spam.

Server theft/Creativity theft is something of the Norm with RO. I figured people would be used to it by now.

[Temjin]

If there was a rule barring servers from having the same name, there wouldn't be an endless barrage of "RetRO"s around.

[Silverbaine]

rofl well say one server gets some bad reputation such as being corrpput or whatever, i feel bad for the other with same name XD, if there is no rule, maybe there should be? to protect each servers reputation either good or bad?

[Spre]

I kind of agree. While it isn't stealing, it could hurt a legit servers status if a server shows up with the same name and has a bad reputation.


Some consideration should be taken in that fact

On a server of...
*gets online count*
Oh...their server is offline. You'd have wasted it for nothing...considering their webpage is on a free hosting.

The best part about this server is:

Welcome to TwistRO!

A High Rated Server

Max Base Level 255 and Max Job Level of 120

Drop Rate of 100%(30-50% for MvPs)

Hopefully lagless for you.

Active GMs

I can't lag if the server's down. Amirite?

[Silverbaine]

rofl $35? (laughs even harder as i know where he got that idea from *cough CursedRO)

isnt there a server called GMRO? or even RMS TEST? (be a gm for free?)

[Habuka]

This made me lol.

$15 - Any item +7 (of choice)

Come on now, +7 on any item? Think of it this way, you pay for all of your items to be +7. 7 x 10 = 70 on every stat? Thats not over powered at all right?

A guild that has a +70 advantage on a guild that doesnt pay for donations and on top of that, the custom item's own effect...

This server is going to be donation run if you couldnt tell already



*Edit*

$10 can get you any "hacked" stat customs. This means, instead of regular custom stats, it will be 20% more.

This is just as bad as the +7 donation.

[Wigglesworth]

Uhmmm, excuse me all of you. This is the owner of TwistRO. Everything that was posted about us up there was true. Minus the part about the rules. That was indeed plagiarism, and it was taken care of. I was also notified about the other TwistRO, but sadly, their server has been down for several years, so what does it matter. And the donation thing was taken care of also. Even though my server isn't up yet, I already have people trying to judge it. Don't judge from what you see. All of these problems is the main reason I haven't posted the server onto RMS yet. Mainly because, I want to make sure all the problems are worked out before I have people trying to see whats up and try to download something they have no idea what it is about. So, please stop discriminating something you don't know about until I get it finished and ready for you people to discriminate. Thank you.

[Habuka]

Thank you good sir.


Also, if a server needs donations so bad that they are allowing people to donate for GM then its SCREAMING fail

[Silverbaine]

have to say he did respond maturely?
so how bout cutting him some slack, as hes obviousy new at admining, give him tips instead of as he so maturely stated "discriminating?"
and twist whatever you do, do not use ideas you picked you from CursedRO, not if you want a successful server that is..........
take a look at both long term servers such as Ragnarok Frontier(they been up at least 5+ years) and top servers see what makes them as stable and good as they are.

Why thank you Silver. And just for all of you to know, yes I am new at admining, and it would be very nice to have some pointers. And I just put that up there for the hell of it. And for the +7 item and the GM positions, they have been removed.

[Habuka]

I see the GM donation removed but the +7 remains untouched?

$10 can get you any "hacked" stat customs. This means, instead of regular custom stats, it will be 20% more.

This still makes me "Lol". Even if you did get rid of the +7 on any item this donation would still make a player and/or donation OP.

And just for all of you to know, yes I am new at admining

Congrats on being an admin and all but there is still a few things you must work out.

I think we should leave it to his player to judge and suggest on what is acceptable and unacceptable given the server's environment.  Which mean these construction criticism is best to be in his forum rather than here.  

Are the reasons for the server to be in HoS fixed?  I believe so.  It was the rule page and possibly the GM pos donation.  Both are gone now.
