[Recruitment] Recruiting a team for an upcoming Low Rate server

[Cawliflower]

Hello RMSgoers,

I am currently recruiting a team for an upcoming Low Rate server. A lot of you may know of me as I'm the owner/lead developer of DivinityRO, former Core Developer Manager on rAthena, and I have a pretty rough history that landed me a spot on the Hall of Shame. First and foremost, I'd like to state that this server will not effect DivinityRO what-so-ever; development on Divinity will actively continue; the Divinity staff will not be juggling two servers (some Administrators/Managers will have this opportunity); and we will NOT overly promote/advertise this server on anything related to Divinity - we may, however, choose to lightly promote it as a sister server. I've simply chosen to not hide my alias. Why? It's not necessary. If a player is to play my server, they have a right to know of the past altercations I was the subject of. Originally, I posted a thread under a different alias known as Eonian. I've since requested deletion on that forum account, and will pursue this endeavor under my real alias (this account).

Secondly, the reason I am opening a Low Rate server is that it opens many new doors for me, not only as a developer (having another project to build my development skills up from), and also gives me the opportunity to deliver a quality server that guarantees longevity (DivinityRO, a mid rate, has now been open for 1 year and a couple months - Oct. 13, 2011 was our opening date), a skilled development team with unmatched experience, and the fact that I'm not in it to make money. Additionally, low rate servers generally have certain qualities in the community that I'd personally enjoy to develop for (don't get me wrong, I do enjoy MR players) including a true attachment to their characters/items/zeny due to the amount of time invested in the server.

With all that being said, the server will be named Everlasting Odyssey Ragnarok Online (also known as eo-ro). This name was voted on by a team I've already begun building because the vision for the server is to deliver an intricately built, highly unique, and challenging pre-renewal Low Rate, that will be developed in the direction of lasting a long time - in a nutshell, our name represents "a never ending journey/adventure." We are tentatively releasing by early June. Our rates are set to debut as 5/5/3. The server will include a heavily customized Battlegrounds, set schedule for the WoE release (no, it won't have WoE on day one - that'd be silly), and a plethora of unique features that don't ruin the game (instance dungeons, extensive rankings, tons of events, and much, much more). We will have donations but we've decided they will primarily be consumables and items that aren't permanent. With that being said, we will also spare no expense on hardware as we'll host with Staminus and have our DDoS protection (seperate server from Divinity).

Lastly, our development plan is to release the server with bare bone NPCs, full-fledged web-site/CP, tons of pre-release promoting via Facebook/Twitter/RMS, a few customizations that'll set us apart from other LRs (that we're confident LR players will enjoy), and then progress development based on the community's input.

Positions needed (ordered by the current demand):

• Creative writers
  
• Experienced players interested in providing insight and feedback into the server; preferably low-rate players
  
• Game Masters
  

Contact:

• amzaneok (Reality on the RMS forums) - as I'm primarily dealing with development, Reality is dealing with staff/players. Add a note as to why you're contacting Reality so he knows!

I am interested in speaking with you along the lines of this project you want to develop. Altho the rates we are currently going with are 10x10x5x Our server even with tons of new features and customs (maps, systems). For our lowrate are planning to stick to good ol standard ragnarok. Altho like you stated above we are also planning on doing a huge custom bg (ramod and custom bg features already included) as well as some new custom bg features. We also work on a dedicated box but from limestone network.. (ive used a staminus server before but wasn't to happy with it) even tho they seem to be favored. If you are interested check out our project at http://cp.yumi-ro.com/flux (recently opened). Or contact me on skype @ Hector.Valentino or ym @ [email protected] ty <3

Thanks!

Also, updated the thread and we've now got a public forum open with more information about the server.
