Server Seeking / Re: LF Mid/High server
Last post by Mammouth - Today at 01:54 AM
Hello, what do you mean by old-school? No warper/no job changer? You'll have a hard time finding a Mid/low without all these features, but it must surely exist given the number of servers out there. If your goal is to quickly get a dose of RO without having to grind like crazy, I invite you to come and test Dayone. It's currently in development (so you'll find few players), but the rates are currently high (75/75/25) (minimum drop rate 2.5% for cards/equipment).

If you feel like giving your opinion/feedback on a project in progress, you're welcome to do so /ok . (There are no significant skill modifications, 95% is vanilla.) However, Dayone offers the option to be accompanied by a robot (AI) of your choice to escort you on your adventure (optional). Concrete example: you main Support, but you want to kill MVPs, you can play Priest and heal your Knight robot who will go bowling bash the MVP. /no1

Guides / Re: Fast DirectX 9 lib for lap...
Last post by Esperite - Yesterday at 04:43 PM
I recently got an ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024) with Intel Core Ultra 9, 3x screen resolution. Without this tool, RO is extremely laggy for some reason, so it's nice this file makes it playable. However, it seems the client crashes every time when attempting to change maps (tested on 2 existing servers). It also sometimes crashes when trying to load a map after selecting a character in the char select screen. It doesn't crash on a certain test server I've set up in the past though, so it might have something to do with the specific client version.

One thing I noticed with the test server (working) client is every time I click, there's a slight lag. In all 3 clients (working and non-working), whenever I change map, @refresh or use a fly wing/teleport, the fade out is much faster than usual. Not sure if that relates to the crash.

Server Seeking / Re: LF > Renewal 3rd job ONLY ...
Last post by jacobo_bobo - May 08, 2024, 09:59 PM
If you are still looking for a 3rd job renewal server, I'd highly recommend BraveRO. It has very well balanced 3rd jobs, no plans of adding 4th jobs. The battlegrounds has trans only days and 3rd job only days, and battleground runs every day with teams of 15vs15 up to 30vs30 during peak hours.. War of emperium has solid competition as well..

Honestly, I don't think any other server (private or official) comes close when it comes to PvP activity.. just take a quick look at the bottom of the site, you will see the PvP ranking for the last 30 days.. and everyone there has thousands of kills.. it's really great.

They have a full starter equipment/weapon that lasts for 30 days and it's as good as the end-game equips.. so you can get started and go straight to Battlegrounds without having to farm anything.

Other than PvP/BG/WOE, the server has great features such as their Hero Quest which is a great expansive character based quest with level-able weapons/equipment/skills.. It has instances, team based events, and other features like fishing/forging/mining, a solid market where every item is being sold.. etc etc

It's really really good, the only bad thing is that it has so much content that you can feel lost at first.. luckily their wiki and discord are very active with friendly and helpful people.

Check it out, you won't regret the decision.

Hi @Ragnarokplayer7, if you're like me and fed up with incompetent GMs who simply host an emulator on a dedicated server, create a cash shop, grab a couple of features from the rAthena forum, and then talk to us as if they've worked hard to achieve that (I get it, they work hard, because they're completely novices in the field /swt ). Anyway, I'll stop there, but it saddens me that players still don't notice the scam. You just have to read their patch notes to quickly realize the trap... We should write a guide on 'How to Detect a Scam'. /hmm

I am one of the founders of the server. I don't do development work, but I actively contribute to the server's design. I play a lot on the server to get a player's perspective (one of the few ways I can contribute, and here is my feedback

Anyway, back to the point. Personally, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Dayone, a server that I'm actively following for several reasons: (I've been playing Ragnarok for 15 years straight, so I've encountered a lot of servers/GMs)

  • A competent GM without a doubt. Every bug report or quality-of-life improvement is fixed/made within 24 hours.
  • A unique system with robots to assist you in your leveling or party creation phase (no more 'Seek last: dancer or prof / bard / Priest for go thor / abbey 3 etc..').
  • A clever mix between low rate and mid rate (avoids mindless grinding - drop in stacks/steal in stacks), no deslot, robots help you to drop items (no autoloot), free reset stats/skills, and so many other features
.
  • Server with whitelist access and mono-account (numerous NPCs to simulate dual accounting + robots).
  • No Gepard protection, which in my opinion is useless, except for installing a Trojan on players' PCs and slowing down game loading (my mouse software has never been detected by Gepard, lul).
  • Unique events: no more 'search the poring', 'find the mushroom', or other events we've known for over 10 years now.
  • No cash shop/VIP and no stupid items like Token of Silfried, Kafra card, enriched ori/elu, bubble, book xp, etc...
  • A donation system (no advantages, not even a jellopy) to finance new features for the server (e.g., client modifications, purchasing an RCX (equivalent to @lgp), purchasing a costume pack from a spirit creator, etc...).
  • 2000+ costumes obtainable with zeny from an NPC.
  • GMs who know the endgame of RO in every detail, they're not clueless when we talk about intricate things/mechanisms often poorly understood by players.
  • No skill modifications, vanilla gameplay, except for quality of life improvements (for example: Preserve from Stalker isn't disabled after logout).
  • Elo-based ranking system for 1v1 champion matches (130 dex only acc) or 1v1 matches with robots.
  • ranking, instance speedruns (an example: start Abyss Lake 1 and run to kill Detale as fast as possible, with maximum party limitations / no flywing, no speed potion)."
  • More than 300 Discord accounts following, even though the server is still in alpha
  • I'll stop here because there's so much to say, considering it's only in alpha. I strongly invite you to download it and see the potential for yourself.

In short, for me, the most promising server of this year (without hesitation). They plan to open the beta soon, and if all goes well, the grand opening will follow.
EDIT :I forgot to mention that the rates are set to the rates you're looking for, but for the episode, it's Nydogg
Discord => Dayone /ok

Quote from: RanganarokPlayer7 on May 06, 2024, 03:48 PMThey advertise 5x quest exp but quests are providing 50x (Lost child providing 4.5mil instead of 450k)

I don't play on this server, but just wanted to point out that Lost Child is 900k in pre-re, so 5x is indeed 4.5m.

Saw a few recent ones but looks like they're all just copy-pasters praying they get the crowd of players still lost from originsRO, or inexperienced dev's that need to be double checking stuff a little more before startinga  server.

would love an origins or rise of midgard style server

Ideally looking for a server running a patch before satan-morroc

ty for any suggestions in advance.

insane how popular the server is with first time dev's that make mistake after mistake.

Party EXP bonus bugged since beta and releases still broken giving an obscene amount more exp than expected.

They advertise 5x quest exp but quests are providing 50x (Lost child providing 4.5mil instead of 450k)

I'm excited to see what other server-settings people find out were setup wrong as the server's life continues.

It's completely unfounded and pure slander that this server has some kind of backdoor RMTing GMs. You post no proof of your claims and just continue to slander without proving anything. The GMs just banned a whole guild for RMT last week.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/987031888612966530/1237008166311559208/image.png?ex=663a1521&is=6638c3a1&hm=de35c8895a3c0783bd684e40487886e2908614b53579ac903e75eb3b2a969313&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

@Yc I encourage you to stop allowing such slander on your website. People who make claims of GM corruption should be required to post proof or else you're just allowing these people to bully server owners.
