The review from Gunma is completly wrong. I personally play this new server and the "Many Bots on this server and the gms doesnt do anything.Many people have left this server because of this bots

."
s***, is totally false. *pardon my french* but, is just opened like a week ago, no bots that I know of, and GM's dont do anything? Dude, its been a week for them, they just got the server up, still working on the site, catching player affairs, adding some neat stuff. This server wasnt ment to be highly customized, sorry, its supposed to be like kRO, only with a few modifications and faster leveling. Actually, many poeple havent left, it keeps growing. Has a nice turnout and a promising begining. Please remove this Review by the immiture GM who was fired.

EDIT: Also if you look at all the 1's he gave, its clearly trying to show he is trying to hurt the server.

first ... are you the server owner or gm or someone in charge?

i'd say .. it's ... ok ... barely but it's ok.

You cant really say those ratings were "ok" due to the fact that guy hasnt probably played the server well enough to give it a review. As you can see he rated the community 1 which for me is bullsh*t. I found the players on the server friendly and helpfull and you can easily have a laugh with them. Also on economy i have seen about 4+ vends already up and running and its still in early stage for the server, so rating 1 isnt really appropriate.

Excuse me, this guy is a GM as you say. He should know your server very well. Perhaps you should take the time to review your staff before giving them the job? Obviously if you had to fire a GM in less than a week, it shows your server is indubitably unstable.

I don't believe this guy is or was a GM on this server (I could be wrong, but, uh); I'm not sure what he meant by that last statement.

In any case, if you look at when the account was registered, it certainly looks like the person only made it to leave such a review. The review itself is in my experience is ... both completely illogical considering how long the server's even been up for and how many people are online at one time, not to mention incorrect. I'm sure that no server, if fairly rated, would be given mostly 1s across the board; I highly doubt that this person has played for a long enough measure of time (if at all!) to judge.

ok i deleted it.

but i am emailing the reviewer to let him/her know the review is deleted due to such and such guideline and ask him to rewrite it with more detail if necessary.

just to be on the fair side.

I'm the owner, and he's not a GM. I'm not sure why positive comments, or sticking up for a server automatically makes you a GM there.

We have yet another false review. It's as if someone thinks of us as serious competition and always has to put s*** there. The user has no information, so I assume the account was made for the purpose of sneering s***. Please remove this one aswell?

Valiance · Apr 23, 2008, 09:48 PM

I would like to say, im not a GM here, im only protecting a server that I care for, because I want things to be taken care of.

There is also a new one posted, that is a complete lie. Ask him to give you proof, I dare you. Nothing that can be faked either, within 3 days, or remove it please. If SeriouseRO is such a threat, then reader, be afraid, because you dont mess with comepetion like this. You want dirty? You got it.

yC · Apr 24, 2008, 02:59 PM

I am not sure how can you be so sure it's a lie if you are not a gm or player there Valiance.

In my position I do not see anything wrong with that review, because i do not think each and every negative review is a lie. You ask him to prove it's true in the same way I can ask you/gm to prove it's false.

It's not a bad review, it's not breaking the guideline at all. The player is telling his/her experience in the server.

Valiance · Apr 24, 2008, 08:02 PM

<.< If you read my posts here, then you will obviously see something wrong with your comment. I know enough that our GM's arnt stupid enough to pull something off like that, because they are too busy fixing up the servers and finishing last touches.
How can we prove something isnt true like this when we have done nothing wrong? He is making comments, such as that, and should have to prove it. Not us.

QuoteOn the first day I started, I had GMs following me around hiding and level 99 buffing me. About thirty minutes later, I'm given custom items and zeny for free "an incentive to stay" So I then thought to myself, is this the type of server I want? No it is not. If you want free items, and free levels come here.

Ok. How can we prove this is wrong. He accuses GM's of following him around, giving him level 99, ON A LR, custom items (which we DONT have) and zeny. Id please, so I can understand, like you to explain to me, how we can prove this more wrong then him? If he was smart, he would be able to back this up with screenshots of his account that has been corrupted upon.

Fimbulvetr · Apr 24, 2008, 09:28 PM

Quite frankly it's false because there isn't a level 99 character on the server.

Lilea · Apr 25, 2008, 02:21 AM

I would like to add a link to our control panel for the mods' convenience.

http://cp.serious-ro.com/

Please check our rankings. The server has now been up for almost two weeks, and we do not have any level 99 characters. Close, but not quite.

Also, SeriousRO prides itself on its lack of custom items. The server is trying to keep itself as close to kRO as possible.

I would like to ask you to give this review another look-over.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Lilea

i think there is a confusion there. in the review he said "level 99 buff", not level. That has nothing to do with level 99 character. a "level 99 buff" could be a level 99 blessing instead of the usual level 10 blessing or a level 99 agi up instead of the usual level 10 agi up. Definitely not a level up on the char.

With that, I cannot see any relevancy in checking your cp.

Just out of curiosity, is there any connection between Ymir-RO and SeriousRO ? Any quarrel? It seems the only other review that guy has made was a 100 one on Ymir-RO.

Lilea · Apr 25, 2008, 09:52 PM

As far as I know, the only connection SeriousRO has with YmirRO was in a thread in the Server Seeking boards here. Ymir immediately decided to try to defame SeriousRO unprovoked when we suggested our server to someone looking for a nice, new low rate server.

I realise that private servers are in heavy competition with each other, but I do hope that nobody would use false reviews like that over such a petty argument.
