Title: The fall of EssenceRO
Post by: Jupiters on Jul 26, 2020, 12:12 PM
Greetings,

For those who don't know, essenceRO was a very successful midrate back in 2007-2015, although in the last few years the GM team back then simply abandoned it but kept it running nonetheless. In 2017 us old eRO players were told of a remake of our beloved server, this time by Kiwi. The 2017 relaunch was anything but successful, the server having more bugs and broken features than working ones, incompetent people being made GMs, the list goes on yet they still accepted donations, which people did hand out quite generously since they had high hopes or the server. It closed down pretty quick, in about 3 months, making it feel like a total cash grab and leaving a lot of people pretty pissed about it.

Now in 2020, eRO had another remake by Kiwi again, and with the same issues the previous one had straight from the launch. Innumerable bugs, broken features, straight up gamebreaking glitches, you name it. Kiwi herself said the opening state was essentially alpha release, and of course once again accepted donations while saying she doesn't care about them.

Asking people's donations to get something as basic as website for your server? Really now?

Anyway moving on, these are just few of the many issues on the server. Bugs and glitches did get sort of fixed eventually, though nearly every time something new was added or updated, it was broken and took some patches to have a bubblegum fix for them, one recurring one being BG. Battlegrounds on this version of essence was a wild ride, with happy hour (double rewards, didn't always work either though) glitching out randomly or not even starting at all. New hats getting introduced with missing sprites or outright crashing everyone, lost count on all the things already.

Next issue is, again, GM team. Kiwi said she won't be having any other GMs besides her and Tempy, the other admin, and some sub-GMs for being ingame police.

https://imgur.com/a/FsRNxTo (https://imgur.com/a/FsRNxTo)

Now this is an interesting one, she also claims here that there will be just one event GM account that is accessible only with her permission, but nope. There have been three event GMs, one of them being her long time friend GM Angie. The issue here? Wouldn't really be any, if she didn't lie about things. All event GMs had access to their accounts regardless of her permission, and to make things more fun, also have @item command at their disposal. Which they shouldn't, ever.

https://imgur.com/a/mVQQlPY (https://imgur.com/a/mVQQlPY)

This was posted after there was an incident of one of the event GMs abusing @item apparently. What makes this worse is, she's outright lying about the accessibility to @item and it being used.

https://imgur.com/a/QeS5Z1T (https://imgur.com/a/QeS5Z1T)

Here we can see Kiwi's good friend Angie using @item despite supposedly not having it, and having some interesting items on her account. The problem here isn't just having access to the command, but also head admin openly lying about it, for reasons unknown. Maybe being good enough friends with Kiwi gets you access to commands? The bias is also shown in essenceRO's discord, where Angie, supposed event GM has special title compared to the other GM, when they should be on equal standing.

https://imgur.com/a/nx1waMZ (https://imgur.com/a/nx1waMZ)

Another thing showing bias and incompetence by Kiwi is nearly constantly catering to one WoE guild's demands, the leader of the guild being her good friend too. One of the many things there was an issue about guildcap in WoE. The guild in question kept asking for higher cap all the time despite it meaning every other guild will be put at disadvantage due to it, and surely enough Kiwi agreed to raise the cap. After some time had passed, and player numbers dwindling due to the amount of issues and stagnation, she still didn't lower the guildcap due to the leading WoE guild wanting to keep it high.

https://imgur.com/a/0Ql2ch0 (https://imgur.com/a/0Ql2ch0)

Here she says she personally would want to lower the cap to give smaller guilds a better fighting chance, something a lot of people wanted too. But no, giving in to the demands again.

I'm here to unravel the truth about current essenceRO's situation and it's delusional admin. If you ever stumble across one of her server's, my advice is to save your time and money and stay clear of them. Now that eRO is going down again, with majority of people already quitting, Kiwi has a new project called CakeRO on the works, complete with her good buddy Angie as GM there.

https://imgur.com/a/OUyo2es (https://imgur.com/a/OUyo2es)

Also this subtle advertising is amazing, going through threads of dying RO servers with the name EssenceRO and trying to get people in to play your server. Good job.

Lastly, to let you guys know how badly things are done there, here's a screen of their wiki, complete with instructions on how to become a US citizen. Bravo.

I love how their name is 'Not Another Trash Guild' and yet still gets trashed by a "social guild"

Next time, why dont you guys just call us out and not try to defame an entire server?

cute whine about gcap, 3 guild leaders were fine with it, not our fault you can barely scrap up 24 s***-tier mercenaries (like klosth, shoulda kept that monkey-a** looking dumbass on marriage healer) to fill in

Very fishy. If nothing bad is going on behind the scenes at eRO, then you should be able to clear the GMs' names, no sweat. Do you guys hate this AJ dude this much that you're blinded by immature rage?

And which NATG member are you?

Every single one of those screens are taken out of context. While yeah, there may have been some incompetence behind the scenes none of it points to obvious corruption. All it shows is that some guilds can't take a loss and have to resort to underhanded s*** like this to discredit a server.

I'm not a NATG member, not a fanboy, I'm just interested in the truth behind all of this. I didn't even know these logs existed until about an hour ago when I saw this topic on the front page of RMS. The guild drama doesn't interest me -- the screenshots do.

If you read that carefully, that was me saying that something wasn't reported in regards to NATG being harassed by a particular individual (who happens to also be a staff member). I simply stated NATG was aware of the immaturity of said (staff) member, and didn't feel that any action needed to be taken as that member already had enough on their plate with everything else that came to light!   /no1

No, I never said I believed them, just that Jupiters brought up some legit claims (as in, based upon his own evidence brought forth--evidence that had not yet been proven nor denied). That's why I was so surprised when people ignored them, because they're pretty strong accusations. From one side, I see rationality, and from the other, rage and incoherence. I understand that you're all on edge from whatever it is that happened, and you believe me to be some cohort of AJ's, complicit in his alleged defamation, but I can assure you, I was merely passing through and thought to ask about all the commotion going on. Little did I know I was stirring the hornets' nest, haha.

Haha, you have quite the pen, good sir! Let me address thee in a manner in which thou may find more appealing. You happened upon this startling accusation, this bold appropriation of misfortune born by misdeeds of the accused, but, I assure you that you shall find no evidence whatsoever of the accused committing such misdeeds! Why yes, here we have comments posted on a day, January 31st 2020, in the very beginning of this babe of a server's life.

https://forum.essencero.net/index.php?/topic/667-oh-hi/

But, what do we say against [GM] Angie having the ability to @item? Well, if you happen to see her title and her involvement in due process of essenceRO, you will find that [GM] Angie is well above the status of a "sub-GM"; she is, in-fact, the head game master! Hence, her characters [GM] Angie and [GM] Event Angie! In fact, the incriminating screenshot itself is vindicating!

Ahh, but Black Panther! There is evidence of said [GM] Angie using @item to bring forth items such as the legendary Angra Maryu and having possession of such cards as Moonlight Flower, and the illustrious Beelzebub card! Surely there is something incriminating in possession of these cards! But nay, the original owner of this post provides no evidence of cards being relayed between the Game Master's account and a personal or guild-mate's account because it doesn't exist. An example was made of by another Event Guild Master with the ability to summon and kill monsters and obtain such cards, the likes of which the post stating that no one besides Kiwi, Kreustoo, and Tempy have the ability to @item reinforces.

https://forum.essencero.net/index.php?/topic/1009-unethical-behavior/

Only the minor oversight that [GM] Angie has @item, a command that Jupiter merely implies has been misused due to biases for the top guild on the server, the same guild that Jupiter seeks to clear of the defamation of skill and five consecutive losses thereunto, becomes the sin of essenceRO. This is not cause to avoid anything everything essenceRO related, but rather a reason to look at the step curve of losses by not another trash guild rather than the sinusoid ascension by The Creed.

also have @item command at their disposal. Which they shouldn't, ever.

As long as the items do not circulate in the economy, that shouldn't be a problem. The GMs are sometimes asked if certain items are working as intended, so you can't really help it.

Tryhard? More like straight trash kid https://gyazo.com/1b9228c6a7cc487ed56c374b42fe60f2 (https://gyazo.com/1b9228c6a7cc487ed56c374b42fe60f2)

Since NATG is now a dead guild and just a social guild. Ill help you guys recruit members since you guys cant. Heres their guidelines to join their trash guild. Btw CreedRO? More like AJ RO. Also MAIN RULE is you HAVE to have an good excuse to why we lost WoE or Gkick. Like My nightmare cards and marc cards wernt working. 200int still sleeping  /heh /heh /heh /heh /heh /heh

Heres the quote from NATGS leader:

Spoiler
Essence will be NATG's home server for the foreseeable future.  I will be on the development team again and helping to guide the ship in the right direction.   We will be ramping effort back up in a sustainable effort to ensure we rise far above the level of competition on the server through.  We will also be looking to build the social aspect of the guild beyond what it has been in the past.

To do so, we will be implementing quotas for activity on EssenceRO.  There's a harsh reality a number of you need to confront: no one is good enough to log in solely for WoE.  No guild can win whenever 80% of the guild literally logs in less than 30 minutes before WoE when the other guilds are competitive and showing up more prepared on an individual basis.  Furthermore, it's unsustainable for myself and other leaders to have to continuously rework everybody's builds and put supplies on every account for WoE.  I would rather you not play if you aren't going to pull your weight.

NATG has traditionally been a guild of tryhard players that have gone from server to server dominating everywhere and we've only run into trouble on a few servers and it has always been on the back of inactive players.  Certainly some of us are willing and have put in more time than others.  I'm not about to ask anything unreasonable.
_

I want everyone to own their own characters and gear to have skin in the game.  This means you need to spend the time to level a character (it'll take max 2 hours, we'll even coordinate some times to level as a group) and we'll help get you started on gear (basically we will loan you gear that you can pay back or earn over time).  That will put you in a good place to be self-sufficient and capable of meeting the baseline criteria below.  Also that will help you understand some of the basic customs of the server and how to level additional characters (at least to the point where you can feasibly use the EXP bags from BG to skip most of the leveling).

To maintain the ability to WoE with NATG you must participate in the following each week:
1 hour of WoE practice
OR
1 hour of BG AND 1 Draft WoE
OR
3 hours of BG (at least 1 hour on WoE class)

BG is active at least 2 hours a day (probably more like 3?) without us participating at all.  It should be trivial to get the amount of practice needed to stay sharp on your RO skills and understand server mechanics.  You can also get progression through BGing so it's definitely worth your time.  I'll incorporate a system so you can build up some extra time by being more active and making subsequent weeks have less requirements (since you've already done extra credit ahead of time).
__

Alright, so we've established what the baseline for playing in NATG is.  What if you want to do more to help the guild or really improve the progression of your character?  I'm going to lay out some rookie numbers for weekly goals.  This is the kind of thing I do on a nearly daily basis as an active player but if you're looking to get your feet wet, this is a good starting threshold:
Farm 25m (half a hour to an hour depending on your setup)
AND
Abra 10 MVPs (about a hour, we'll have parties to make this easier)
OR
Spend some time on-call for MVPPK and/or field MVP
Useful classes include pretty much everything in the case of a PK war whereas just assisting killing MVPs prof/priest/paladin are the most useful).  We don't expect to have MVPPK at every single MVP spawn but there are some (FBH) that we need to have the ability to call the cavalry to shut people down.  PK wars over MVPs can be up to 10v10 if the other group is active and invested.  They're a lot of fun when we win and miserable when you lose so having the number of people required to shut down the opposition is key.
___

I said there was a social aspect of the guild as well.  What I mean by this is we'll regularly coordinate a few events weekly and have impromptu events otherwise.  Some example events that could be planned/occur spontaneously are as follows:

Essence RO Related:
Group Abraing
Group BG

Gaming Related:
League of Legends
VALORANT
CSGO
Misc. Steam games
etc.

Full Social Related:
Movie Night

I will also be making a concerted effort to just stay on voice more often to help people out/get people active whenever I'm online doing whatever.

Some interesting stuff came up here it seems.

Quote from: papachan on Jul 26, 2020, 05:30 PM

hey, would you like to provide screenshots proving the "said gm" was giving out items? very fishy if you believe that.

I never said anything about those @itemed equips and cards making their way into circulation, why did you feel the need to bring something like that up? Is there something to get so upset over?

The issue I addressed there was event GMs having access to the command, which can turn ugly extremely quickly, hence they should not have it, period. Also the fact that Kiwi said only three people on the server have it so there's that too.

I don't care about who won WoE, I'm simply here to show people the questionable and shady things going on the server.

This is my second account, yes. My first account was made in 2011, when I played the original eRO, but I couldn't remember the username because I haven't logged into RMS in years.

No, I never said I believed them, just that Jupiters brought up some legit claims (as in, based upon his own evidence brought forth--evidence that had not yet been proven nor denied). That's why I was so surprised when people ignored them, because they're pretty strong accusations. From one side, I see rationality, and from the other, rage and incoherence. I understand that you're all on edge from whatever it is that happened, and you believe me to be some cohort of AJ's, complicit in his alleged defamation, but I can assure you, I was merely passing through and thought to ask about all the commotion going on. Little did I know I was stirring the hornets' nest, haha.

Unfortunately these are all the evidence I have to show, but what you're seeing here is this guild's usual tactics when presented with something that inconveniences them: Personal attacks, endless harassment and trying to divert the attention from the topic at hand by spamming something irrelevant like WoE videos. Almost all posts in this thread are offtopic and not about the issues I brought up at all.

Quote from: Neffletics on Jul 26, 2020, 09:52 PM
As long as the items do not circulate in the economy, that shouldn't be a problem. The GMs are sometimes asked if certain items are working as intended, so you can't really help it.

True, though proper way of doing things would be getting rid of them after testing to prevent things like this from happening.

Ah yes the natg member playing the victim card, classic. No one is interested in civil discourse with you s***s because not a single soul wants any of you twats on the server, Kiwi should've cut off your guild like the tumor you are. You pieces of s*** harassed Saint non-stop before the rest of us even started playing on the server, you don't get to play victim here. Endless harassment? If we endlessly harassed you, your guild would've f***ed off months ago. Go troll more pinoy SHRs instead of crying wolf here on RMS.

TL;DR A guild lost one woe and is chalking it down to the other guild cheating instead of just admitting they lost fair and square.
The evidence in this thread shows that a GM has the @item command but no proof at all that any items were transffered to other characters in game.

Post by: RaptureRO on Jul 27, 2020, 03:47 PM
I am nobody. I played the server long ago and then the most recent rerelease I joined not with a guild but as a single nuetral player. I was active in voice and listened chatted and quit a month in when 3 days after the server went up I had already seen the writing on the wall. I am a firm believer in experiencing a server before writing a review.
I attached a picture of day 3 when, due to a simple scripting error, instead of increasing Golden Thief Bug's spawn time to 300%, the GM increased the actual spawn by 300%. There were 3 GTBs. This was after the 100% demihuman glitch that was made apparent. and before WoE. There was no rollback and no wipe. At least one card dropped before the server officially opened.  /wah. I understand GTB is not as overpowered on essence as other servers, but the OPs arguments all line up with everything I, a neutral party, experienced. From a biased perspective, everything screams poor management. Not immature, just poor. If the server is a passion project, then why the donates? "so i can pay for the server." Wrong answer.
Also, the people who were very active on voice and were the founding players ended up being the so-called Sub-GMs. I only know because I chewed one out for sexual harassment on voice.  :|. Oh eRO . Where did you go? 1/10.
As for any claims of corruption substantiated or no, I have no evidence to support this, but seeing as Kiwi seems especially cordial with certain people who I thought were players and turned out to be GMs despite not having sprites I call shenanigans.  /...

Hi.

I like to think that people learn better, but instead of doing some sort of introspection, it is easier to blame performance issues, makes hackusations, claim by that some convoluted way that there were power abuse.

In no way was there a link of A+B proof given, but it's the time we live nowadays, hearsay is worth more than factual and empirical evidence.


Denial is a very powerful illusion, it gives the impression that you are impecable, and if anything goes wrong, everything around you is disfunctional.

The level of self-entitlment required for this is equivalent to believing that you're the belly button of the f*** world.


Keep smashing guys, take a dump on other people's work simply because it's not pleasing you.

You know what is super impressive and a show of outstanding integrity of the EssenceRO Community? I read through the initial post and it all stated facts about server bias and how Kiwi is doing an extremely poor job delivering a server and immediately people started posting their petty arguments about WoE/GVG. How did you guys manage to digress this post that fast? It is unfortunate to see people can't even relate to a well put together and delivered post about the ongoing issues but instead talk trash about things the post isn't even about. This post is hilarious and really hits home with me because I knew it was coming before it even happened.

I played the original Essence and it was one of the best private servers I had ever played. The custom content was awesome, the community was decent and the pvp was ridiculously fun. Then the first remake happened and turned into a raging dumpster fire. Kiwi failed to deliver what was promised which was the old Essence but instead thought she could some how make it better, did whatever she wanted and murdered the server. And now the new remake is EVEN FURTHER from Essence. Why are you even branding it as Essence it is honestly embarrassing.

Once again thank you for your post showing the bias and the extremely poor job of a stubborn individual who has no idea how to deliver and provide for a community that lost it's home. That post about CrownRO dying honestly was hilarious because I feel awful for everyone who played old Essence and is trying to endure with this trash pit Kiwi calls Essence. Can't wait for this server to shut down and word of advice, don't call the next remake EssenceRO. This is not essence, nor will it ever be with Kiwi as admin. Make your own brand. Kiwi has put more dirt on this server's brand than any other toxic player old Essence has ever had. If there is going to be an Essence at least try and live up to the expectation of that, which is the old Essence RO that was one hell of a server.

See here, I am going to question your intellectual integrity.

A well structured post doesn't equate with it proving anything.

1. She's asking for donations, because RO is an old game, because it takes time and means to make a server happen. That's an undeniable reality. Having donators doesn't necessarily call for biased decisions, or even giving said donators a specific advantage in the game. It's hearsay at this point.

2. GM's have access to @item, it's not new and creating items is questionable for many people, I understand.  But as I wrote before, where is the next step?
Because creating items on your GM account is one thing, transferring those created items into a non GM account is another. Those GM's created items. It's a fact.

Your intellectual integrity has to call here: if he had those screenshots, he could definitely have access to any  other type of transfer between a GM account and a non GM account.  No proof was given in the oh so well structured original post. Without proof of A+B, its basically hearsay, again.


3. The same people calling these slanders state particular bugs in which status would go through status immunity, where in several videos posted everywhere, both parties were having status on their characters.


With all this hearsay, I'm sorry, all we can do is mock, post videos of the Woe  where they lose, because it's bitterness, pettyness and childish behaviour.


Oh yeah, for your so called Ode to Integrity, the post rambles on about what it believes Kiwi to be as a leader and a GM, as well as how she manages her decisions.

Those are opinions, and as all people we squabble about them, but please don't transform such opinions into facts.

I like to make my opinions based on what I see and witness, not on what people say. Maybe you should do the same.

3. The same people calling these slanders state particular bugs in which status would go through status immunity, where in several videos posted everywhere, both parties were having status on their characters.


With all this hearsay, I'm sorry, all we can do is mock, post videos of the Woe  where they lose, because it's bitterness, pettyness and childish behaviour.


Oh yeah, for your so called Ode to Integrity, the post rambles on about what it believes Kiwi to be as a leader and a GM, as well as how she manages her decisions.

Those are opinions, and as all people we squabble about them, but please don't transform such opinions into facts.

I like to make my opinions based on what I see and witness, not on what people say. Maybe you should do the same.

Just going to put in my two cents as a random player who decided to join this server for no particular reason (not knowing this used to be a tribute to an older server). When I joined the GM team was really active and put in a lot of work trying to make the server seem fun and active. They tried a lot with balancing cards, skills, and items overall. The times were really Asian-centric for a lot of things, especially WoE, which means I never got to participate, so I ended up just MvPing with people and playing Battlegrounds. Eventually I started to notice more and more how the GM/Dev team spent a lot of time doing their own thing, mostly ignoring feedback of the userbase just because they felt like they knew the right thing to do, which eventually made a lot of players mad and start leaving. Nobody can tell you how to run your server, but ignoring people is a good way to get it to die. Finally, out of nowhere, the decision was made to basically try and start over because of the "stagnating playerbase", which imo was done through no fault of their own, and they ended up making a new server, CakeRO, which honestly seemed like a pretty deliberate attempt to assassinate the server and make it seem like they did no wrong. For the past few months, the server has been left for dead with not a care in the world, completely unmanaged and run by nobody. I'm honestly surprised it's even online.

tl;dr I feel like at some point there was a deliberate attempt to just kill the server and maybe salvage some of the playerbase to do their own thing.
