Title: OriginalRO not so original
Post by: BUFF TILL I CRY on Jan 08, 2014, 04:15 PM
I'm not trying to make a big deal out of this but I think it should be reported as it happens with many servers. OriginalRO has stolen content from PureRO by copy-pasting text and images. I believe this should be reported so that OriginalRO starts making original posts instead of taking it from other servers. Proof is seen below.

Just looking at the two posts it is apparent that the information is copied. They look strangely similar. The first post is that done by Helios of PureRO and the second is done by Admin of OriginalRO. The original PureRO topic is located here: http://www.pure-ro.net/forums/index.php?/topic/982-episode-141-bifrost/ (http://www.pure-ro.net/forums/index.php?/topic/982-episode-141-bifrost/) OriginalRO's stolen topic is here: http://www.originalro.com/board/index.php?/topic/138-episode-141-bifrost/ (http://www.originalro.com/board/index.php?/topic/138-episode-141-bifrost/)

(http://i.imgur.com/c3I4Li3.png)

(http://i.imgur.com/c6Ta2Gd.png)

To further prove that they copy-pasted I checked the source of originalRO's forums. They used the exact same images and didn't bother re-uploading or anything. All images are the same as used by PureRO and you can see PureRO's website in the code as well for the pictures they did not upload to imgur.

It seems that there is more. I found out that they're also using IntenseRO's images (http://www.originalro.com/board/index.php?/topic/139-reins-of-mount-class-mounts/) after searching for some topics.
Evidence:

The thing is - They had authorization for that? Using bandwidth of someone's server is already bad but in PureRO's case is the text too which looks terribad :s

Implying there's any original server nowadays. Every new server will always copy out older server that has proven to be lasting long, assuming them popular.

Also, I don't think any server owner would let other server owners to use their stuffs though, especially without permission (looking at how they don't even bother changing source site and just dump other servers' stuff on their own place). And hey I don't see "Original"RO asked for permission. Just going "oh let's dump all the good things from other popular servers we take the best and combine it so we'll become the bestest hurr".

My god. OFFICIAL EPISODE INFO CONTENT HAS BEEN COPIED. THIS SERVER MUST BE s*** NOW, right?

Guys grow up. You are talking about gravitys property here and how some admins display it. Jesus christ. If he was stealing custom content id understand you guys. But you are making pointless drama over official content every one uses. The term "original" has nothing to do with it. Jesus Christ.

Im sure mr pure RO admin copied all of this from official forums/Websites aswell. Please get a clue.

Post by: Triper on Jan 09, 2014, 09:08 PM
The problem isn't if the server is s*** or not, nobody saying that, what is being point here is that they decided to get something well made into their forums and usually, around here, people ask others to remove or change it because it's a shame to having to resource to that. If they've authorization for that, no problem with it, everything is clarified.

In another topic, I did as you said and decided to search if PureRO really did copied their text/images from somewhere and found out that CycloneRO (http://www.forums.cyclonero.com/board/index.php?/topic/179-episode-141-bifrost/) also have this and I can't find out a place from where PureRO copied their text. The only thing "copied" is that the images used in the topic are edited versions of the stuff related that episode. If you've a source about what you're claiming, post it and the topic shall be closed since it's clarified that everybody used the same official source.

Related to the PureRO's text. It seems that Original and Cyclone actually made changes on the text because they changed PureRO to OriginalRO and CycloneRO to fit their servers.
QuoteAs in the previous episode, PureRO does not introduce any new equipment but rather equipment boxes which contain an assortment of equipment already available. Included in this is is ammunition such as Elven Arrows which are also not available. Players will still be able to obtain Mora Coins from quests as well as many ETC items from monsters.

Note - CycloneRO is known to be another server of OriginalRO's admin.

The PureRO community has been made aware of this post only a few hours ago. I only discovered it because the topic title was amusing. Needless to say I was rather surprised when I found out the post involved a server (PureRO) I had just joined. As far as I know our head admin is aware of the situation but has yet to comment on it.

That's a possibility that I also considered but there is no answer from both sides until now.

PureRO Owner here.

This was brought to my attention not too long ago as someone has posted it to our forums as well. We did not give OriginalRO or CycloneRO any permission to use our text or images. Triper is correct, the main image used was done using the same Bifrost image that appears in nearly every mention of the episode. The other images use sprites and mini-map images. We did not draw these images but have edited them to our liking which is what most servers do, so I have no problem with that. This is obviously copied and is using the same exact edited images from our site.

There should be no question as to who's text that belongs to between PureRO, OriginalRO, and CycloneRO. "Equipment boxes which contain an assortment of equipment already available" is pretty unique to PureRO so I'm surprised that they didn't bother removing that text (unless they also made custom equipment box items like ours). Notice how the post dates from CycloneRO and OriginalRO are posted on dates after we've posted ours? Besides, from Triper's post it looks like they didn't just copy from us but from IntenseRO as well.

In short, I'm not the Admin of OriginalRO or CycloneRO and did not give either of them permission to use any of our images or text. I wouldn't be surprised if IntenseRO did not give them permission as well.

Can't believe people can't write text to their own server instead of being a buncha lazy asshats and copying simple text instead of taking 2 seconds to write up their own.  Wonder what else is copied.  Then again I shouldn't be surprised, what server isn't copying another it seems like.

^ I don't understand it either. It really doesn't take that long to put the Episode in your own words. I don't understand copying the text, formatting, and images.

Besides, I'm not really making a big deal about it. I understand that there's a lot of similar content between servers, especially artwork/images and text from official servers. But copy-pasting from private servers without even bothering to upload your own images (The IntenseRO sprite images) or write a paragraph on your own is very very lazy.

^ Because the amount of effort and joy you put into your server tells how many actual f*** you give about it. It's really a shame because OriginalRO has actually a lot of potential, I would come back if I wasn't banned. But being this lazy is just so top-tier.

To be honest, nobody from Original RO gives that much attention to that post.

All the people who got banned in our server always say that. It really has a lot of potential. One of the best Renewal servers out there. That's the charm of our server. So you guys should check out Original RO   /lv

Original RO/Cyclone RO are pretty much the same server as far as i know.


Original RO edited the Rules (Wiki, website will be updated later) and 14.1 Episode post to supress any further drama that is being caused here.

The GM told me he will edit anything else the Admin has "copied".

Where am im crying f***? My point was pretty valid. Were (mostly) talking about official content that you find on every renewal server. Merely how the info is displayed was copied and technically were all copying from gravity. All admins make money with stolen pirated software. I tell you, hypocrites.

Title: Re: OriginalRO not so original
Post by: ghrim on Jan 10, 2014, 03:52 PM
No I didn't do any research because I assumed there is a server named FluxRO and it was stolen from there. ( There was actually one called that way. http://www.rotop100.com/5722/ (http://www.rotop100.com/5722/) )
How else should one interpret when an npc says something like that?
Maybe I am mistaken, sorry.
They probably use the flux control panel on their site and npc for donations ... although I am not really sure what the control panel has to do with the npc description.
Why not just change the name in the npc box to OriginalRO at least?
It would make a lot more sense

Bought? Flux is free, what are you talking about? Anyone can get it free and here (http://rathena.org/board/topic/60255-fluxcp-renewal-finally-native-rathena-support/) for rathena.

The npc into question is just not edited as anyone can see in here (https://github.com/calciumkid/fluxcp-renewal/blob/master/data/npc/DonationNPC.txt) or in the same folder in the link you gave for the eathena version. In case you can't see, check the following code boxs:
// Server Name
        set .serverName$,"FluxRO";

mes "I am here to allow for the redemption of rewards for donations to " + .serverName$ + ".";
So yes, in this case it's not copied, it's just not edited to match the name of the server.

You should also stop telling people that they don't know anything, it's not nice :).

you also said the "We made bad review about this server" and you still played oRO? You guys are weird.

and you should try Original RO if you have time :D those people who left our server says that Original RO is one of the best renewal server out there. Even those who got banned say that. Pretty odd right? why would they even say that if they already left that server.  /lv

I want this thread to be locked soon. We have gained some new players now because of this thread, i hope those who advertise their server here got a few  /heh

Wait, you guys are actually making a big deal out of this?

#1. RO private servers are property that has been STOLEN from Gravity.
#2. Everyone that hosts a private server is using stolen material and makes money out of it by "donations".
#3. Everyone that plays on that server are using stolen material.
#4. RMS is funded by ads and the people that visit this site are manly people that are playing on private servers. Which still is stolen property.
#5. If you had any kind of brains at all, you would've understood that this is basically accusing someone for stealing when you were the first one to steal.

This is what it sounds like to me:           
"Hehehe, I'm going to host a private server. I'm going to make money.
I'll need to steal the game from somewhere. Oh, s***! Someone stole MY game from me! BURN HIM ON THE BONFIRE! HE IS A THEIF!!!!1111oneone"

I hate all of these rant and raves.Here's so triper doesn't remove this. What's the big deal, they've already stolen those from Gravity in the first place. They're advertising the same maps and the same game. Just my two cents, hate me all you want Why can't people make/administer RO for the fun of it like in the days of yore? So I propose we make SwitzerlandRO(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQB8lTSNKRq4mJtcoB60M6dq7tO74-0E2kpuiqEy2hyE2B9oRLnsA)

Based in snowy mount Mjolnir, it features 100% original sprites, maps, and NPCs, custome weapons and gears, storyboard and dialogue.
Tired of farming zenny? Well now other servers can invest their zenny into SwitzerlandRO and make huge profits in their secure and un-taxed bank accounts! Bards are renamed Yodelers(Jodler), and alchemists as Cheesemakers(Käser). Knights become the Swiss Guard and Supernovices are now Swiss army knives.It will remain completely neutral towards other servers, as it wants peace and playfulness like in the olden days.(Chemi-Crush and some coders, make pls /no1  /ene)

It's not so much "omg u fagit u stole mi website content!!11one" but rather a funny and ironic thing to see when your server name is "OriginalRO" and you are too lazy to even come up with "original" texts, which is by far the easiest part of running a server. If you can't even bring yourself to write your own texts, that means 99% of your scripts will be jacked from the rAthena forums, you aren't capable of doing important source mods or complicated, original scripts, et cetera. It's mostly just very bad advertisement for your own server.
Title: Re: OriginalRO not so original
Post by: Kensei on Jan 11, 2014, 06:50 AM
Should have changed your server name to UnoriginalRO or CopyRO or whatever. That way we won't discuss your server like this.

Even other servers that found out copying contents at least use their domain. This? Lol.

I'll need to steal the game from somewhere. Oh, s***! Someone stole MY game from me! BURN HIM ON THE BONFIRE! HE IS A THEIF!!!!1111oneone"

QUOTED FOR TRUTH!

Quote from: DeePee on Jan 11, 2014, 05:37 AM
It's not so much "omg u fagit u stole mi website content!!11one" but rather a funny and ironic thing to see when your server name is "OriginalRO" and you are too lazy to even come up with "original" texts, which is by far the easiest part of running a server. If you can't even bring yourself to write your own texts, that means 99% of your scripts will be jacked from the rAthena forums, you aren't capable of doing important source mods or complicated, original scripts, et cetera. It's mostly just very bad advertisement for your own server.

Upon checking, the 2 threads that was mentioned here was already modified.  /ok

I dont know anything about the source mods, original scripts, etc~ I'm just wondering why those words were mentioned on this thread.  /sob

Quote from: Kensei on Jan 11, 2014, 06:50 AM
Should have changed your server name to UnoriginalRO or CopyRO or whatever. That way we won't discuss your server like this.

Even other servers that found out copying contents at least use their domain. This? Lol.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to this guy^

Whoever you are, thank you for always bumping this thread. This thread is still on the main page of RMS. New players are still coming.  /kis

Indeed, I already noticed that the first one talked about was already changed with euRO's info but a lot more need to be edited like the rules from Talon and the images stolen from Intense. Still, it's a good start!

Btw, this is only on OriginalRO's server, not in Cyclone - http://www.forums.cyclonero.com/board/index.php?/topic/179-episode-141-bifrost/ (http://www.forums.cyclonero.com/board/index.php?/topic/179-episode-141-bifrost/)

I have the feeling that the GM/Mod care more about the server then the admin.

I still don't see it as a big deal.  Why is that one guy acting like PureRO is flaming about this though?  All we've really done is confirm it did come from us.

I will try to PM any forum mod or GMs there to change the above mentioned rules and images. Thanks for visiting our forums btw.  /lv

About cyclone RO, uhmmm. I'm not a player on that server, so maybe some of the GMs on that server should post here or you may contact them on their forums.

I think the admin is the most important person of the team. By the looks of it, if Triper is right, then OriginalRO's problems will just be starting.

To most  players this is really not a big deal. So what if they have copied this and that. Players will just want to find a good server to play with. But this thread just showed that the admin is not giving much effort for his server. Which means I think he really care less about the server. IMO i think the passion and love for the admin can be showed on the hardwork he is doing for the server. Ive been to servers where the admin cares less for his server and what happens next are not good.

Apolgizes to the sentimental people, we've edited our rules and such, we just copied 'em when we started this project, nothing to put the effort into if we can take them from a wonderful awesome and incredible server like TalonRO.

@TalonRO's dog: Who ever you are, this is the second time you post on a topic related to my server and I haven't answered you, if you don't know anything about it, do not coment. You are a heavy piece of s***, the arrogance and all the crap you write just make me want to nauseate / throw up/ vomite / puke... Die man.

Tripper... You knew this thread wasn't worth a peny but you decided to spend your time looking at my website for stuff not worth a s***.

I think you might want to spend your time on real life rather than giving any importance to this. It's just mental sickness.

Have you not see so many server collapse with this kind of behavior. You're not just kid but a kid with no manners.

This is one of the most ironic s*** I've ever read this month. Damn it, Elias, you're so ridiculous. You're the one that comes here like a big boy trying to feed your ego with all that stuff you write trying to feel better because you used to get gangbanged by your three pedo uncles every saturday when you were 7.

What cracks me up is that this is probably the second negative thread against (Un)OriginalRO and Elias is making a big deal out of this. C'mon, you're not Cookie or Boreas, you're WAY below their level.

Quote from: EliasB on Jan 12, 2014, 07:40 PM

Sí, I is very lost hater. Stealing material and editing it is pretty normal in any private RO server. Now, stealing stolen material without having the decency of at least editing its source but only making a copypaste out of it is pretty lame imo.

Sí, your server is pretty good, it holds a lot of potential. I also agree that the community is nice back in the time I was there. Your server holds a great potential for renewal players. But you, as a person, are not as brilliant as you are as an Admin. Acting like a king of the morons won't take you any further, you will soon realize when your numbers drop down.

They're not ok but I'm not dumb enough to make it go the other side so if he wants to play the "I'm a kid crying" and let everybody reading about that fact, I won't be the one hiding that.
I already gave him my opinion about how he acts through PMs more then once in the other topic so there is no need for more. If he wants to keep playing the same game like his last post, I will start to think about muting him and "block" his chance to defend about what happens in his server and just let people talk here. I'm sure that some kind player from his servers will be able to deliver the message soon or later.
I'm not like some that just block and screw the rest or the "Easy deal, yo" guy.

Even if we assume stealing text and imagines is okay and stuff, isn't the real problem that the server owner isn't really able to actually offer everything on the website? I mean players can't rely on the text at all if it's just copied from another server.

So I think it's correct to be against it.

A person who can't even write his own shizniz, can you seriously edit scripts and use your left and right brain properly SIR? ha! funny guy.

One more thing, I've seen how much you've overused the word "drama" and can't even use it in a proper way. Not everything is drama in this world, you should get some real air.

I dont wanna see anymore flame here between our admin and you guys. I dont care who started it. Im telling the server is great even tho admin was lazy and copied some stuff from a server thats probably dead (didnt check, just assumign). Its just rules. Rules and some official Episode 14.1 post.

2. None of those servers are dead, why would you assume that? And even then it's still not okay to copy content from their websites.

3. This is not about whether oRO is enjoyable or not, but that they admin called his server "original" while copying text from other servers.

Intense ROs Images came from this website http://ragnarok.wikia.com/wiki/File:RO_AlpacaMt.gif (http://ragnarok.wikia.com/wiki/File:RO_AlpacaMt.gif.)

What im saying is, the images doesn't belong to them. It doesnt matter if the IntenseRO's links is still there. As long as the request to remove the images is not coming from http://ragnarok.wikia.com/wiki/, (http://ragnarok.wikia.com/wiki/,) those images should still remain in our forums.

To sum this up, i would love to give you guys the breakdown of the issue:

Concern regarding PureRO's Bifrost thread - Already resolved. Content was removed
IntenseRO's links with GIF images - no need to remove since images came from http://ragnarok.wikia.com/wiki/File:RO_AlpacaMt.gif, (http://ragnarok.wikia.com/wiki/File:RO_AlpacaMt.gif,) stealing content from stolen images is legit[?]/ I think lol.

Then, the "rules and regulations" from talon RO.

What if i told you that there are some private ragnarok server who uses those "rules and regulations". What if the said rules was copied from those servers? If its from TalonRO, why are we not seeing complaints from TalonRO about those server who steal the said rule? Why putting all the blame to Original RO? (i apologize if there are threads for those servers, too lazy to dig em up)

List of the said servers with same rules:

http://passion-ro.com/cp/index.php?act=shownews&post_id=14 (http://passion-ro.com/cp/index.php?act=shownews&post_id=14)
http://www.faithreborn.com/home/ (http://www.faithreborn.com/home/)

Again for the nth time, there is no ORIGINAL RAGNAROK PRIVATE SERVER, let me quote this for y'all...

Quote from: Gankare on Jan 10, 2014, 10:19 PM

#1. RO private servers are property that has been STOLEN from Gravity.
#2. Everyone that hosts a private server is using stolen material and makes money out of it by "donations".
#3. Everyone that plays on that server are using stolen material.
#4. RMS is funded by ads and the people that visit this site are mainly people that are playing on private servers. Which still is stolen property.
#5. If you had any kind of brains at all, you would've understood that this is basically accusing someone for stealing when you were the first one to steal.

I can sign what Cookie said before. There are many threads about TalonRO on RMS, yet the traffic generated from the RMS forum is not worth mentioning. Copy pasting texts from other websites is not "good publicity", neither are the responses of your admin. This thread will neither bring more players to your server, nor will it have a negative impact on your player influx. What it does tho is show us how bad of an admin oRO has. He is worse than Cookie or me PR wise, never thought that would be possible.

Are you really a random player or part of the staff?
Do you get paid for writing all that?

You say any publicity is good publicity.. hah very funny.
Maybe you are right and OriginalRO often appears on the mainpage of RMS, but those people who actually bother to read through these topics will notice how flawed the server is and avoid it.
There are so many negative reviews on the server it's not even funny anymore, I can't imagine a person looking for a server to play on disregard all of them.
OriginalRO has potential, which is sadly wasted in the hands of an incompetent leader.
It has been proven several times and not only in this topic.

You will see the numbers drop soon enough.

About the negative comment at RMS. Nah, everyone who got banned on our server says that it was a great server. Some of them still plays there, some of the friends of those who got banned still visits the server. I really find it odd, seriously. They are even using their merchants to sell their items and checking our forums. You see a good server will be a good server no matter what your admins personality is.

When you're looking for a game to play, you are checking the servers pc requirements, gameplay and features. I havent seen any online game catering uber kind and perfect GMs.

I can sign what Cookie said before. There are many threads about TalonRO on RMS, yet the traffic generated from the RMS forum is not worth mentioning. Copy pasting texts from other websites is not "good publicity", neither are the responses of your admin. This thread will neither bring more players to your server, nor will it have a negative impact on your player influx. What it does tho is show us how bad of an admin oRO has. He is worse than Cookie or me PR wise, never thought that would be possible.

I see, i will keep that in mind. However, the issue here is not about whos bad or nice. TalonROs issue regarding the rules will be resolved the soonest possible time.

and thanks for not flaming me i guess? It's nice to know that there are people here whos not related to originalRO that can say their opinion without saying mean things.  /lv

As a random passerby, I can say that I have considered joining OriginalRO but surely won't after reading this thread, especially the Original GM's hate-filled reply. And surely I'll give that as feedback to any friends of mine who ask. But that's just me.

As for OP, it indeed is hilarious.

It is also hilarious that OriginalRO defenders press on their actions being somehow "justified"(?) or "not worth the attention".
RO servers stealing others' content is no news, the humor lies in ironic name of your server.

Also, the idea of "stealing" (and getting money from it) from people who already "stole something else" being justified is, in my overly honest opinion, retarded.
Wrongful actions don't justify more wrongful actions. Even if we all are the community who "stole something else", there's a matter of respect for others' effort. If a person steals a bucket of paint and paints a beautiful picture, is it fair to steal it from him? No. Sue him for the bucket of paint.

Not random at all dear, I'm a GM on talonRO. One of the servers your admin feels they need to copy. Immitation is after all the sincerest form of flattery!

And can I say, I've seen many servers grow quickly like your own. And a server as lacking in original content as yours appears to be is bound to go only one direction I fear.

I know right!  /heh sincerest form of flattery indeed.

So, as a GM of TalonRO, would you like us to remove the said content or you want us to keep that? If yes, please make another thread and indicate those servers that copied your rules and regulations.

I dont see why oRO takes the blame when the said rules are being used by lots of private RO servers.  /ok

About defending the server, yes. I am defending the server i am playing. Im just returning the favor to admin. You see, the guy made a server that i like/love.

Other servers that copied TalonRO's rules are not your/originalRO's business. He doesn't need to do anything like that.

Because it is to blame. Other private RO servers that copied Talon's do not concern this case. Are you saying thieves shouldn't take the blame because there are a lot of other thieves? Ridiculous.

Since there are no other posts about defense except mine between your two posts, I'll take this as a reply to my post.
So I'll reply back, you either did not read my post or completely misunderstood its content.

On related note, defending the server you like is okay by showing its good sides and explaining why is it nice or worth playing. Defending it by taunting, ridiculing, or attacking the ones pointing out bad things about it is disgusting and beats the very point of defending it in the first place.

There are actually a fair amount of players who wouldn't play on a server solely because of who the GM is.  I would never play on a server ran by Cookie for example.  I'm not saying I wouldn't play OriginalRO just because of this incident, but if it becomes a trend for it to should up on rants and rave on RMS I probably would make sure to stay clear of servers ran by him/her.

Cookie=Cawliflower. Elias is an idiot, you just said it. I would play on a server ran by Cookie (lelDiv4.0), but a server ran by Elias no ty.

And if you think that the consta-bad reviews given by players here is publicity that will bring more players to your server, then you have a problem.

1.  Don't name your server OriginalRO if you're going to copy anything from another private server, kinda defeats the purpose of calling it 'original'
2. You probably shouldn't act like a 2 year old when people talk crap about your server, acting professional can get you places where other people are concerned.
3. Negative RMS Bullcrap does not gain you players, where have you guys picked up this myth?
4. Cookie is Cawliflower, how can people not know that by now?
5. Some players really will not play a server if the GM is a total doucheface.

Idk if I forgot anything but really this is all the thread states.  Unless there is anymore groundbreaking copying going on I don't think there is anything else useful to add to this thread, at all.  Just my 2 cents.

You should also stop telling people that they don't know anything, it's not nice :).

you also said the "We made bad review about this server" and you still played oRO? You guys are weird.

and pleaseee stop the favoritism issue, admin is always nice to all the players. Unless if you've broke some rules.   /hmm

Whaaaaaaaat? this can be resolved by doing that? that's easy! Ok i will ask our admin to do that.  /no1

and you should try Original RO if you have time :D those people who left our server says that Original RO is one of the best renewal server out there. Even those who got banned say that. Pretty odd right? why would they even say that if they already left that server.  /lv

230+ online today and uhmm 40+ are vendors. You can count them on vending area if you want. /gg

230 online??yesterday just 130 online,include 40 vendors,and 30 buff slaves...2 months ago original ro can reach 300..but that is the stupidity of admin so his server is going to die soon

Thanks for the heads up!

1. TalonRO=Why is it talon?, PureRO=a nice name but why pure? IntenseRO = intense.. uhmm yeah intense. You know, names are just names. You cant judge a server by its name. I played talonRO before because i saw the servers name on front page and it fits on my online name. I didnt even bother to ask why the server name is Talon.
2. I think you were referring on our Admins post right? You know, even if it were posted in a nice way with kind words, rainbows and butterflies, the thought will be the same.
3. Some newbies told me that.. when i was boosting them. Ok, next time i'll tell them to stop lying. About the bad reviews, maybe it only works on new servers? If you happen to open one, you may try it.

This thread was supposedly a report about PureRO's Bifrost thread copied by OriginalRO. It was already resolved. Now it became "lets find all the bad things on oRO". I would like to apologize to those people who got pissed on my posts, it's just.. i love my server thats all. I dont want my beloved server to end like this.

@Peter101

That was my post 10 days ago S t r i ke. It is true that the servers population is decreasing now. I'm so disppointed in you strike. :(

I know why you're acting like this, it's because you were banned right? You shouldnt endorse avid RO on main chat.  /sob

You are one of the nicest person on oRO. I dont know why you did that.  /sob

QuoteTalonRO=Why is it talon? PureRO=a nice name but why pure? IntenseRO = intense
None of these names are as contradictory. They're just your everyday names with random or no meaning.
You can make a similar claim that Intense is not intense anymore, that Pure RO is not pure (I don't even), and that Talon RO is not... uh... a  talon.
However none of these would be as hilarious (and I guess not as humiliating... I would be at least a bit ashamed of myself in oRO's place) as this Original RO case. Yet again, you're just pointing fingers at others, instead of defending your own server trying to make others' look bad. It doesn't work that way.

Quote3. Some newbies told me that.. when i was boosting them. Ok, next time i'll tell them to stop lying. About the bad reviews, maybe it only works on new servers? If you happen to open one, you may try it.
So the "they" from

If you're getting SO MANY new players why would your server end?

It wouldn't.

Not a lot of normal players read the crap on RMS anyways.  And I pointed out the name cause it was very contridicting.  Its not original, so why is it named so, its just amusing that your server copys and calls it originalRO.  -Shrugs- 

Defending your server is good and all.  I understand it, but making excuses is another.  No one said there had to be butterflies and rainbows and cookies about an admins post.  But if you want people to like you and have a nice impression of your server the admin should probably play the part, or GMS, either or.   Thats just basic customer service.

JS.

Ive played on your server, im not saying its crap.  But its not all that wonderful either.  -Shrugs-  Thats great that you like it, to each their own.  And its nice to see you're defending the server, really, the only one defending it.

Cool, what was your IGN there? did you reached transcend? When did you play? Did you made some friends on oRO?

It's weird, those who got banned really enjoyed the server. (gahd im repeating myself lol)
Lots of players love oRO =))), best low rate renewal server. Well, im not expecting something from you, i think you're the kind of player who sits in a town chatting all day long. I totally understand why you're not enjoying it.  /no1

Don't worry bro, your not the only one defending the server. Just to be clear, OriginalRO is named Original because it tries to stay true to the original server without many customisations (also it's low rate).

More people are joining, however due to some DDoS attacks in the past, merchants were logged off, so you get a false impression of how many are on the server. Most of the players on the sever are individuals and not alts or merchants. The population is increasing ^___^...

Admin is a guy who made some mistakes in dealing with a few of these very fragile subjects, but he doesn't deserve this 6 pages, two topics of hate. This is ridiculous. It's a free game, if you don't want to be apart of the server, leave your 2 cents about your experience and join another. It just feels like an endless grudge to be handled here.

All I got to say~

I can see that everybody is focusing on EliasB's rage post regarding on this issue and talking about professionalism.

You see, this is INTERNET. You can make yourself look professional, nice, kind, mean, stupid, a-hole etc.. in front of everyone. No need to say more about that. EliasB or our Admin is a very straight forward person, what you see is what you get.  /heh
