Server Reviews / Re: Review of Return to Morroc...
Last post by Slap - Sep 13, 2023, 06:32 PMFunny how the ones defending the server are the same kissasses in his discord channel.
Anyways. A lot of people quit because of these non-stop weekly changes. Even the new people coming in are so confused as to what class to pick. They choose one job then some skill or stat gets nerfed or changed onto something. It's a weekly thing now it's making people actually quit.
People who play nonstop with no life are the ones killing this server, that's all i see this is. Goodbye PRM, it was nice when there was 600 people playing including vendors, now it's what? 350 including vendors?

Server Reviews / My honest opinion of MuhRO
Last post by concerned citizen - Sep 13, 2023, 12:24 PMI've been playing in MuhRO since July 2023, so my experience in the server might be different from those who came before me and after. I'll try to be impartial in every way possible with this review.
First impression: Upon first look, I find MuhRO to be somewhat similar to the previous server I played in (the now defunct NovaRO). I thought to myself, "Hmm, I'm gonna love it here!" And indeed, I did. Most of the players are the same people I've played with in Nova, and a lot of the server mechanics are similar as well. Not all of them, but a lot. However, as time passed by, my impression of MuhRO changed drastically. I don't wanna say for the worse, but it definitely became more negative. Will my current opinion of the server change? Only time will tell.
Community: The Ragnarok community in general, for the most part, is a lovely bunch. Not in this server, though. In MuhRO, toxicity is rampant, to the point that daily drama in the #global channel is to be expected. And should no drama erupt, you'd be left bewildered by what went right at the given time you logged in.
Bullies dominate the #global channel with their constant callouts and attention-seeking posts, and the GMs won't do anything about them. The only time GMs will take action is when the bullies themselves get bullied by some people whom they thought they could bully. They'd run crying to the GMs and the GMs would wipe the tears off their faces, in a way that mommy would calm you down when you run a little too fast, trip, fall and scrape your knees.
I get that your life sucks, and I feel for you but don't take your anger out on your fellow players especially if you can't take the heat when they fight back. Not everyone will bend to your bad attitude.
If you ask for help (in any way, shape, or form) in #global or #support, everyone stays quiet as if their mouths had been sewn shut. Some of the players will even get annoyed and will either blatantly tell you to get lost or just troll you because they've got nothing else going.
To summarize the community in MuhRO, players here are like that one tumor that drains the life out of you. They suck.
Staff: The only positive experience I've had dealing with the staff in this server, is with Muh and Icecold themselves. The others? Hell to the f no. One of the GMs even went as far as calling someone an idiot without knowing the full story. I get that she was trying to get the approval of someone who happened to be a toxic player in the previous server I was in, but wouldn't it be better to keep your mouth shut if you don't know the full story? Lol. And for what, for make-believe cookie points? Is your life that shallow that you need approval from jerks online?
As for the event managers? I don't really have any opinion on them, though I do have a friend who finds one of the EMs to be creepy as hell. Apparently, this dude constantly creeps on female players. The only thing I gotta say to that is YIKES!
Misc: Lag, lag, and lag. Lag everywhere! Not sure if this was because the server is located in Europe (where only a minority of the players reside), or the server itself can't handle the sudden spike in population. Either way, lag is a constant problem. I do know one reason why lag is an issue, though; it's because the GMs like to fix stuff outside of the pre-arranged weekly maintenance. I get that they're trying to improve the server, but if it was up to me, I would organize and plan out every single maintenance ahead of time, so I know what I'll be fixing once maintenance time comes around. Instead of surprise butt****ing the players with a horrendous lag each time. It's not freaking fun when you're in the middle of a farm and suddenly, bam, you're lagging like hell.
As for server crashes, all I have to say is that I've experienced more server crashes in MuhRO, in the span of only three months than my entire time spent in my previous server. It's ridiculous. Sometimes the server will be down for hours, and we have to wait until the owners themselves reset it.
Did I mention RNG yet? No, I don't think so. I'd like to keep this part short, but this server has got to have the worst RNG out of all the servers I've been in. Not sure if this was intended or not, but calling it bad is an understatement. Sometimes I feel like the RNG here was designed to force people to donate. Not saying that that's the case, but it sure feels that way sometimes. Some people have spent billions of their hard-earned zeny trying to get the perfect enchant. It's frustrating. I get that guaranteed enchantment is out of the question as it would ruin the gaming experience, but can't we add the function to reroll a single enchant instead of rerolling everything? Is that too much to ask?
The last thing I wanna touch on is implementing major changes without giving the players a heads-up. I understand that some things that needed to be fixed were game-changing, but Jesus H Christ, don't you have the courtesy to warn us ahead of time? I know that you plan on fixing stuff days ahead, so it'd be great if you could tell us about your plan, so nobody will waste their time beating around the bush. Some players have worked on certain builds, or switched to certain builds, only to find out that all their hard work had gone poof the next day. What the actual fresh frozen hell? Nothing is more demoralizing than wasting all your time and effort on something that can and will be discarded. For Pete's sake warn us, dude. It's the best you can do to reduce the damage you're about to inflict on us. Geez.
Final verdict: I'm sure you can tell by now that my opinion on MuhRO isn't the most favorable. So don't ask me if I'd recommend playing in this server, because my answer for now is a big HELL NO. That can change, though, so my advice to you is to find out for yourself. I did just that, and look where it got me.

You and I have a different definition of "flipping out", I think.
If you're going to criticize at least pick things to criticize that are true.

It's really difficult. I asked people who use that GRF to share it, but it was rejected. I really want to look it up

Last post by deadcore who - Sep 13, 2023, 08:03 AMQuote from: tellowflash on Sep 12, 2023, 05:52 AMHi @admornstein, I am writing this to you since someone told me I'm getting accused of something I haven't done. I am the "Minato" you banned on your discord writing to you, the guy's name is "Minatoaquades" and you just assumed I'm him, why? you can have the admin here on forums check for IPs used to login on this account and that one and I assure you that it won't match. Please don't spread lies that I'm that dude.
Please don't badmouth me just because that dude is also named "Minato", we're not the same person. I won't care about the ban you did on my discord on your discord group since I don't play your server anyway (less than 30minutes), but please don't stick me on your issue, I did not copyright the name Minato, and there are thousands more that is named "Minato". Thank you.
Note: Please stop assuming I'm that dude while I barely played your server for less than an hour, and coincidentally was also on your discord. I can also message you my username on your game and check the ip if you know that dude's username on your server and to cross-check the IP. PLEASE don't mention me on this mess and don't mention anything about my past servers since it won't help your cause on this.
Unfortunately this is now standard behavior for RTM owner after the disastrous 1.1 patch when he learnt first hand that if he f*** his own passion project up with an untested and unpolished patch (great ideas, just untested, broken and buggy code and numbers) people will rage. I think 1.1 patch release and the ensuing backlash broke his mind, he's been lashing out blindly non-stop and picking/accepting fights with just about anybody. After which he gets criticized or flamed for good reasons or for nonsensical ones, then he bans the people he picked a fight with. Never forget when he banned a prominent community member for RMT then reversed the ban ~2 days later without any apology. Or him flipping out over an artist missing a deadline and firing them. You can find all this information on RTM Discord, and it's actually yikes tbh.
Despite all that, RTM is still an excellent server to play so long as you know to avoid interacting with the server owner aside from reading patch notes to prepare for the worst (like when it's time to sell all your gear because the owner is killing your class). He's on a pretty wild power trip and it doesn't look like it's ending any time soon, based on his responses here and his posts on Discord.

Last post by Leonheart - Sep 12, 2023, 07:47 AMQuote from: Minatoaquades on Sep 10, 2023, 02:11 AMThat is true on most cases not on this server lol.
The owner kept on tooting his own horn on how he thinks he has done wonderful job on the server despite balance still practically non existent. Its one thing to work on things and improve it and its another thing to keep on destroying classes without improving other aspects.
Hes basically all talk, no work. He keeps saying that he wants ALL CONTENT on RTM to be soloable by everyone, he wants every mob to be "souls like" which means mechanic heavy and fun experience to fight.
What we actually get is only 3 or 4 classes can solo end game dungeons 2 of those requires ultra expensive gears, we have mobs that are basically just pure stat sticks no mechanics.
Some of the classes are still broken up to this day, but hey! Who cares? 3 more new classes are coming so amazing job for the owner! He is so amazing he considers releasing new classes should be prioritized than balancing the existing ones!
I also like the fact that he kept on insisting how some classes are in a goodspot but without proofs lol.
Kinda like a salesman saying check out this bmx bike it runs faster than a ferrari but you just need to trust me on that one.
I did give it a chance, sadly, with the way things are going, The server will never achieve the good vision the owner has all because he doesnt want to put in the work to achieve it.
He definitely will become a good politician in some third world country though, with all his promises for a great future and zero work.
well im not against you on that case, but like i said, I fully understand that the moment I jump into fully customized server, I will face a risk of uncertainty. Because this is RO and not RO on the same time it very difficult to have the same perception even between player base. What you think best is based on your vision, not the owner's vision. I will not blame you for leaving the server and maybe hundreds of players. He still the owner of the server and the one making the decision. I believe based on my years exp, even tho he does change anything you are asked for, another player will make this kind of post from a different perspective.
The problem of RO PS right now is, the "stable version" is boring and will likely to lose player base, in the other side, fully customized server is, well - full of controversy. The game is too old and will be difficult for everyone.
I also cant blame the owner to make the server as what he dreams of. It's like producing a music with new genre. Some people will love it, some people will not. Maybe it's only the ego of the songwriter, let it be. Just skip the song and listen to another song.
I love some servers, I hate some, I mad and leave many time. But I always understand that no point to complaint on fully customized server. I will honestly rate the RTM as decent based on my perception of how this server should be. I only play there 2 months tho, left last month coz of time management forcing me to.
Good luck for everyone.
Cheers.

Last post by 2k2 - Sep 11, 2023, 06:15 PMQuote from: admornstein on Sep 10, 2023, 03:23 PMWhile I know this happens, may I ask, have you given PRM a try or going by what the person said?
I was talking more in general about those bold highly customized projects where server administration is more or like the same, as I tried some of them and they were all the same regarding the server admin and all ended having the same problems on ended the same way. Haven't played PRM yet (although been wanting to for a couple months now, just have zero time for games in the last 6 months) so all I can say is about my general experience with this kind of server without addressing directly to your server.
Hopefully your server is the exception of this rule, because the community would benefit a lot having an stable overhauled RO.

Server Discussion / Re: What happened to NovaRO ch...
Last post by Herpderp - Sep 11, 2023, 03:48 PMIf anything, the Nova case just proved that the whole scaredy cat behavior from pserver owners was completely unwarranted (though kind of understandable at the time). 
They basically had the juiciest case against a pserver owner you could possibly imagine, someone who literally registered his server as an LLC and made his real name known everywhere. And even then, Gravity still cucked out with a settlement (lol) that required Nova only to take down his server with zero damage payments made to Gravity.
But hey... At least Trannyheim finally stopped their "nooo stop making videos of our server or we'll ban you!!" cringe fiesta...
