Server Seeking / Re: Looking for New Adventure
Last post by jacobo_bobo - Yesterday at 04:04 PM
If you are into new experiences.. you should definitely try BraveRO.

It has been up and constantly updated since 2008, the installer alone is twice the size as most serves due to the sheer amount of custom monsters, maps, headgears, npcs and over all content..

Battleground is running every day, and original features such as our Hero quest, fishing, mining, cooking, forging and instance dungeons offer a completely different experience that you WILL NOT experience on ANY other server.

Most skills and formulas have been re-balanced for a level 500 server, which most other servers rarely are able to balance properly.

Our headgear collection is of about 2,500.. many of them completely original to our server..

The Hero Quest comes with cool challenges, unlockable equipment that you have to level up to maximize potential, and instance dungeons and events that you've only ever dreamed of..

The only problem with the server is that it is so custom that it is easy to feel lost.. Which you probably felt when you first started RO as well.. We have a big community on discord, forums and an incredible wiki to help.

Check it out and see what all the fuss is about!

Server Seeking / Looking for New Adventure
Last post by SkrelloR - Yesterday at 10:09 AM
oooh boy let me tell you a story /heh


I'm a 2006 player from SA(South America) i used to play in LR/HR servers, but one caught my eye and my heart.
This server was a 300/120 with 250 max stats had over 500 custom item
E.G: one helm gave you vulcan arrow as you do phys hit
It was an amazing experience tons of builds to try on pvp even Super Novice you could explore a lot!
WOE had over 500 people online, also with 0 delay you could even do Soul Breaker SinX, Crazy right?.

I want this kind of experience again! I also have played a 99/70 server with custom item it was so funny but cool looking.

Please Let me know if theres any server like this much love to yall /lv

Free Service Recruitment / [Recruitment] LF> Team or Part...
Last post by novi - Mar 26, 2024, 03:58 AM
hello everyone, I have a server that is not maintained, this server is already 80% running and I haven't opened it to the public yet.
Honestly, I can only make it but I'm not good at managing it.
therefore I need a very elite team to manage this server.

server information.
- the name of this server is Warlord Ragnarok
- pre-renewal system (we can change the level depending on which one can make the server last longer, 250/90 or 99/70 according to market tastes) I have put a lot of custom items, maps, etc.
- has many features that I adapted from other games

about this server
implementing a faction system, where there will be 3 nations that will fight like in the RF game and other ancient games.
I have implemented a war system for these three nations.

- I am a developer who has made many private servers and was unsuccessful because I didn't have much time and couldn't manage them

requires a team
- admin (who can manage the server with all his experience)
- someone who has knowledge of periodic server balance and studied the faction system in warlordro )
- I leave the rest to the admin to get what is needed

Honesty & responsibility are the most important things here, this is a free service. If this goes successfully, we can share the results together

If interested please contact me on discord Click

RO Graphic, Coding & Media / Aste Grf v2024
Last post by asteanya - Mar 25, 2024, 03:46 PM



Hello wonderful Ragnarok Online community!  /lv

I would love to present to you an update to my custom GRF created completely from scratch, housing hundreds of changes, improvements and optimizations for smooth and beautiful playing experience.

Let me share some of the features of Aste Grf v2024:

Redesigned fully from scratch with the feedback and experience from the best WOE players in the world and all of the feedback from users of previous versions all over the years, Aste Grf v2024 brings absolutely new experience for the GRF users. All effects and features of the original Aste Grf were recreated from scratch, featuring a new design style allowing for instant feedback of what is happening on the players screen and at the same time improving game performance even more.

Main goal of this GRF is to provide WOE ready experience for the players out of the box, improving FPS and visual clarity without sacrificing unnecessary effects and features.
Aste Grf v2024 includes many new effects, features and optimizations from original GRF at the same time as featuring things that were never thought to be possible before.







New design language:

Aste Grf v2024 features a completely new design language and style. No more half-transparent or barely visible effects. New design language takes aim in providing instant color and shape feedback with clear, fast and sharp animations that enables players to build strong muscle memory for the effects. Such effects enable players to instantly recognize what exact effect is currently playing on the screen, without needing to think or look directly at the effect itself.

New color coding system is a design choice that makes every "negative" effect appear in the red/orange color scheme and every "positive" effect appears in the blue/green color scheme. Such an approach allows players to build even stronger muscle memory to the effects, enabling the brain to instantly recognize if they are in danger or not and allowing them to focus on the task at hand in the heat of the battle without directing too much attention to what exact effect is playing on their screen in the current moment.
‎‎










Never seen before effects:

Aste Grf v2024 enables new, never before thought even possible effects in the game, such as GuildSkill Emergency Call, Sura Cursed Circle, Genetic Sling Item and others. New tech found in the GRF allows clear retargeting of existing .str files to any effects (except few that are forced by client) enabling GRF power users to create their own effects and retarget them to the desired effects themselves.










Even more performance optimization:

Transition to usage of .tga images for new effects instead of .bmp enabled even more performance boost compared to the original GRF. With the version of Aste Grf, players would be able to reach FPS numbers that they have never seen before.









Clear status icon design:

Some status Icons were updated too, to make them more easily readable, less confusing and provide much faster feedback on important debuffs and statuses. Many new status icon effects that are missing from the original RO were added too.










Playable even with /effects on:

Worried about missing something important in the heat of the battle? No worries, thanks to huge performance increase in Aste Grf v2024 playing with /effects on is fully possible! Even with /effects on, Aste Grf v2024 provides clear visual feedback on what is happening on the screen with absolutely playable performance.









Fully customizable experience:

Enjoy playing without headgears? Or maybe you want to mute all sound effects except ones you choose? Maybe you want to remove Genetic Homunculus and Sorcerer Elementals from the screen? No worries, Aste Grf v2024 provides a fully customizable experience without sacrificing any features as it was before. New "addons" system allows players to choose what features they want or don't want and simply merge them to the base Aste Grf v2024 without any conflicts. Power to the user, customize GRF exactly to your liking!

Long Lost Friends / Re: Anyone from EternityRO?
Last post by Ty - Mar 25, 2024, 03:25 AM
Holy s***, its been what, a whole 17-18yrs? cant believe I could find eternityRO nostalgia here.

Was a wiz & bard for Power & Benriya guild if not mistaken, was a noob supporting char, but i really enjoyed the international community in the server. Made tons of in game long lost international friends too, all the way from SouthEastAsia to US,UK Europe, Aussie etc2.

Could spend tons of hours idle chatting in Prontera/geffen/aldebaran with strangers/parties/guild. Missed the crazy big parties spamming in glastheim majorurous farmin. Enjoyed watching Epic guild showdown between NaBz, Gold Saints, BerZerker, and etc2, post PVP sessions and all the guild drama, pride, flaming and s***.

Can't believe there's still a forum discussing this and happen to google it.

Just started in UaRO recently, feeling all the nostalgia from days past. Although, couldnt find such great, helpful and friendly community from back then. =')

Despite the server closing after so long, it was a really fun and happy server, great childhood memories too. Just wanna say, am Thankful for all the GM's and the great community in EternityRO!!

Cheers!!

Server Reviews / ValiantRO - Why?
Last post by ProtobeltNunu - Mar 24, 2024, 07:49 PM
To be upfront, I've never been one to leave reviews. Typically, if I'm not a fan of something, I'll simply move on to the next option without much thought. Conversely, when I find something I enjoy, I tend to savor it in silence. However, this time around, I feel a strong urge to support the Valiant Team by sharing a candid review of their efforts. Having played in the server for over five weeks (the server is 7 week-old), I believe I've gathered enough insight to distinguish the highs and lows of this experience.

The good things:

1. I respect Solis and his vision. In Discord, he claims his role as a coder, but I think he is the admin of this project. The team's approach to skill rebalancing is both comprehensive and thoughtful. It's 2024 and while most servers out there have done the skill rebalance things, most of them barely scratch the surface of real problems in classic Ragnarok Online. The Team's rebalancing ideas are unique and did bring back lots of obsolete builds in a pre-renewal server. People actually want to play auto-cast sage, battle priest, trap hunter, and alchemist in the PvE environment, which is inspiring. You can validate my point here.

2. Their roadmap is clear. They start at Episode 8 right before Rebirth and gradually release later episodes with great consideration. For example, the next episode will be Einbech/Einbroch and they revamp every map belonging to that episode to solve the problem Solis has stated:

Quote"Ragnarok Online has so many unused maps, so many untouched mobs, and will-never-be-used equipment."

They're even eyeballing Renewal content and thinking, "Hey, let's remix this for the old-school vibe." Talk about ambition  /no1

Quote"The Airplane and Airship are released on episode 9. I mean, why don't we bring Airship Crash Instance to Ep 9 as well? It would be refreshing!"

3. Last but not least, I have seen and felt that the Valiant Team is very dedicated, and they do know and understand the game. Their ability to empathize with the player's perspective is a standout trait not often seen in other teams.

The bad things:

1. You will feel a little bit left out because 90% of the community is Vietnamese people with their language. They are friendly and helpful, but they tend to play with each other as groups. If you ask them, they will give answers. A guy named Loyt even lent me some money to start the journey. I don't know if it's because they are shy or their English is not that great. Either way, you must be very communicative to interact with them actively, or you better join with your own group of friends.

2. The server connection is not that great. Solis has tried so hard that he literally set up 8 proxies all over the world to reduce latency but the spiking lag is sometimes terrible. They promised to upgrade the server at the end of this month, and I hope they keep their word.

3. This might be a good point to someone, but I myself dislike the fact that the Cash Shop doesn't sell any valuable thing. There is a VIP system that provides good QoL, but I don't see any good headgear with a decent status bonus. The Cash Shop is full of nice costumes though but I'm not into those things.


For the sheer guts of their content and vision, easy 10/10. But on making it feel like home for us international folks? More like a 5/10. It's a bit of a bummer seeing players bounce because of lag or feeling like an outsider. It's disheartening, given the team's evident efforts to improve server stability.

This review comes from a place of honesty, and I hope it reaches Solis and his team: You're doing remarkable work. Stay driven and persistent, and success will follow.

Thank you.
