Project Alfheim is back

[amoryblaine]

+ for the above /\! The only bad feature of this server is the expected delay of the updates, but they always come eventually satisfying most players expectations. There is an insane amount of content and its hard to get bored before playing 1k hours.

 Another plus for the server is that it is one of the few current servers that survived the last gravity warnings, it is also close to being 2 years online. I know this is not a good sign for some people that like to be competitive but this means the server has stability and wont go down with the smallest of breezes like some others.

 Who am I kidding thought, I just need more people to farm silvervines and buy all my worthless s***

 Welcome to alfheim!

 Welcome to alfheim!

I'm not understanding something. The topic states the server has returned (meaning going offline?) so this assumes it went down for a time, quite possibly due to the warning. This tells me they're easily feared into shutting down, much like Talon tales (talonro).

[amoryblaine]

When the legal action against novaRO started gaining ground a bunch of servers closed because they were afraid. That was around April or may? Im not sure. At that point alfheim was at its peak with 2k+ players online not counting the 1k merchants. While other servers closed, charlie went into hiding mode, without website and private discord. That + the delay on OGH made us bleed players until we had 200-300 active players starting july. The same players that are playing today.

That is why they said "Alfheim is back"!, it was always online and we were always playing, but it was in hiding mode until charlie felt he was safe from gravity ( For starters he never registered his server as a company, lol).

Hope that answers your question!

[Gulielmus]

Besides, we know a lot of servers closed in the same methodology, some came back, others perished.

The biggest issue I have with Alfheim is how manipulated the market and server feels as a whole by a select few. The head GM actively has 2 major RMTers (most notably the one who created the Reddit post doxxing Tr0ll) on the play test team. Being in different friend circles and learning about all these different players and watching them move in large troves across servers because Alfheim profits died should be relatively obvious for anybody paying attention. I am not entirely convinced there isn't more going on behind the scenes.

Another major issue is the micro management of the game. It's league of legends level of awful balancing and knee jerk reactions to content. He balances the game around the hardcore RMTers grinding for 10+ hours a day and leaves the casual player base f*** in major regards. All the normal zeny farming spots everybody knows are mediocre for the time investment, which forces you into high end dungeon party play. But be careful! Gearing for a specific dungeon, he may just off and decide that he doesn't like it and add random s*** to mobs to alienate classes. My advice to anybody joining is just make a slave character you don't care about to make money running dungeons so you can eventually play the game the way you want.

Yes Charlie, I created an account just to post this because in my 20 years of RO, I've never felt the obligation to talk about how piss poor a server has been run.

Until the next server!

see you on the next server! typical RMS rant and baseless accusations! wheeeeee.

Oh no, I got the discord chats to prove it. It's unlikely you'd care anyways, per usual. It's almost like every time people post something negative, you just deflect it like everything is baseless. You made your money, it's the bare minimum now. You served your purpose to them.

As if I do this for money lmao. Legit 95% of the money made just goes into funding the server itself and paying Ken. You're delusional if you think I get anything substantial out of this.

If you ACTUALLY have proof of someone you think is RMTing or breaking any other rule for that matter just make a ticket in the discord like we've always said to do. This applies to anyone.

Name them.

I don't use the market on alfheim because I know what I'd be bidding against (10m is a lot of zeny for me due to lack of time)

I don't think anything is happening behind the scenes other than a lack of info regarding this RMT scene. It's like everyone "knows" but there's never names attached.

I wanna know who to avoid because the situation is crap. And I am sure there are lots of players who would rather avoid them too.

[betwixtbetween]

Logged in and the server looks barren. It never capitalized the boom last year.

[Kazuki]

I play often and the server looks fine. All of your posts make it seem like you've got a vendetta against the server, and maybe even pservers as a whole. I think it's just time you move on, lol.

[SagitariuS1]

I wrote honest review about PA. Pros and cons. But Charlie only react cons and wrote "go find another server" lol 
This is one of reason why this server lost 2k population. Better holding in-game events rather than provoking on rms.

If you finding middle-customized low-rates server regardless of population, this server isn't bad. If you care population, go UARO. Best low-rates server today.

[betwixtbetween]

The dude can't handle criticism. Once you point out obvious flaws he recoils and default to long long form announcements playing harassment victim. Standard cry-bully tactic.

There are only two replies with a response like that.
The older one is not worth at all to even reply and the one from 2 months ago critizes a feature in a manner where i ask myself what on earth you expected from that post.
For warper design it creates a unique problem where you have it unlocked but only a particular class and the party is asking for different one. Seeing it this way lets it looks like half baked. Half baked like server rule execution (looking at you, afk castle crowd). But calling it the worst feature ever? RMT is openly advertised on other servers and this is worst? Eh? Reality check please.
And then suggesting another server that a) blocks multi clients, which freedom is basicly a key selling point for PA these days since the majority of LR just copypastes the 1 client policy trash without even thinking when and why it makes sense b) prohibits grf mods c) has an even lower refined woe scene, sets the cherry ontop. Im not even sure if you have played the server if  you compare both with each other and think they are equally for a quick transition, lol.

[Ijustwanttoreviewservers]

I think Alfheim is a pretty cool server, remembering back when I used to play it, it was pretty stable and had lots of things for you to do, even though I think 3x is painfully slow, playing with friends and some of the people I met in there made for some pretty fun memories, the only real gripe I have with the server is just how stat and skill resets work, as I am the kind of person to change builds as often as I change my clothes and play with classes I haven't played before completely blind, so that's very crippling to me but it's not something that's ever going to change so whatever.
Still people should give it a shot and see how they like it, given how it's still here after gravity's tantrum and not have running with it's tail between the legs at the first sight of trouble (Unlike most servers) has some good merit to it.
