That rAthena/Herc have bugs has nothing to do with them not being able to be brought down by Gravity. And devs certainly don't add them intentionally. It's simply that there is no way to put copyright on source code. Even "ideas" are hard to copyright, they must include some new unique concept if you want to copyright them and "I make an MMORPG" is not one.

It's art, music and brand names that are copyrighted, but those are in the client and not the server.

By the way is Ragnarok Travels really based on Aegis? I mean I guess nobody would admit if it was as it would make it attackable. But I'd claim it would be impossible for a single person to code an 100% accurate emulator all by himself.

I've been curious for a while now, what does it mean to not be rAthena/Hercules based btw? Like I've been under the impression that those were like kinda huge community projects on emulating the Ragnarok... backend stuff?

What does it mean to not have to use an emulator? Or is his server like running his own emulator that he made himself (whatever Odin is?), which apparently doesn't have bugs that the well-known emulators do or something?

Also, why would this be "more expensive" to run?

Not really knowledgeable about how the actually server stuff works, thanks if anyone can help me understand these!

Look at this post; https://forum.ratemyserver.net/server-discussion/travelsro-a-great-concept-with-awful-execution-and-a-worse-owner/msg200371/#msg200371
TravelsRO is just a copy-paste from KokoRO. Odin is just his database that's locked behind a $30 paywall that isn't even available yet (or is it) while he has been promising and talking about it for months.

Oh wack I totally forgot about that, the infinity update post said "This trade-off was not acceptable for Ragnarok Travels, and thus Odin was conceived. Odin, the bare metal server powering Ragnarok Travels and the most powerful dedicated server in the private server industry" which made it sound like it wasn't just a database, huh.

Lol at these people here trying to accuse the owner of being bad and mocking his intelligence. Ya'll are cry babies, its just a game... nobody ask you all to play this game. Retaliating with simple changes on the server and getting you banned from breaking the rules is why this server is different than any server that is up  and running right now.  /heh

U talk big chubby. How about 250z fly wing, 1k9 blue gems, 12k ygg leaf exclusively for you? Surely u wouldnt mind cause its only a game? :D
