Title: An In-Depth Review of CardCaptor RO (CC-RO)
Post by: Mr_F on Aug 31, 2022, 08:06 PM
Hey everyone, and thanks for reading. I wanted to write a more in-depth review on CardCaptor RO since I can barely find any reviews or discussions on it despite being >3 years old at this point. After the great RO reckoning a few months back I remember someone said in my old server that now would be the best time to play RO servers with "unique" features since they'll be the most unreplicatable if the private server ban does eventually get enforced. I've been playing this server for about 3 months now. The main draw of CCRO will definitely be in the card collecting aspect; cards don't traditionally drop on the server, instead they get added to an album that passively grants stats and abilities accountwide to your account.

Some more background info on the server: CCRO is a pre-trans server split into 2 servers, legacy and seasonal. The legacy server is the permanent server where nothing gets wiped, I think the rates are 5/5/5. The seasonal server is the more popular of the two, with some unique features. Firstly the seasonal server gets wiped every 3 months, and the amount of cards you collect per season will determine the amount of rewards and perks you start with during the next season. Rates on the seasonal server are doubled (10/10/10) compared to the legacy server with a further 50% boost (15/15/15) during the last month. I think the last month of this season is slated to start on 9/5. The main draw of the seasonal server, and what I believe makes it more popular than the legacy server, is that once you reach 400 cards in a season your account will be granted a guaranteed non-duplicate "trans class" costume. The costume will grant trans-class visuals and additional bonuses to whichever pre-trans class of that costume you get, and will be permanently carried through to your legacy account and any subsequent seasonal server resets. For example the Whitesmith outfit will allow your Blacksmith to crit with mammo and boost stats from forged weapons.

Another important detail about the server is their alternate form of currency in repeated cards and card coins. Any subsequent dupe card that drops will be converted into a repeated card, which can be used as currency to buy a few certain other cards from non-spawnable mobs, OCAs, or converted into another currency called card coins, at a 2:1 ratio. Card coins are an important aspect of the server since they can be used to buy restat/reskills, enriched elu/ori, bubblegum/battle manuals, and other useful consumables. Since cards don't "exist" on the server to slot into gear, there instead is a rune system where you can purchase rune boxes that will grant you random runes. These runes are essentially the same as cards and you can slot them into gear by using an npc in town.

The rest of this review will be my subjective opinion.

Pros:

Cons:

Caveats:

If I think of anything else to comment on I may include it later. Thanks again if you read this far, and if you guys have any questions I'd be happy to answer them! I really do enjoy the server and I think it has a lot of potential, so I hope this review encourages some new players to give the server a whirl.
