RaijeRO Rocks \m/

[Rita Forlorn]

I left a review of the server at Rate My Server, but this one is substancially larger and was put on their forums.

I am not one to be bias, or gush about servers. Over the years I've been to several, and so far this is the best in my honest opinion. Here I'm going to list why and offer a minute list of cons.

The GMs

GMs are very active and watch the forum very closely, this means you get your issues resolved quickly and without hassle. Especially GM Jason whos a great Tech Guy and GM Jenny who works very hard resolving all sorts of Issues. They keep everything running like clockwork and unlike alot of GMs, don't appear to be unfriendly or excessively power hungry.


The Community
Everyone in Raije RO is kind and helpfull. I've never ever run into anyone rude to me. So many servers are full of bilgerant a******. (Excuse my french) Another oddly noticable fact is alot of players are literate. I tend to avoid chat speak, it bothers me and makes me feel like it's killing the language. I suppose that makes me kind of anal, but I digress. The community in Raije RO and on the forums is acceptional in intellegence and friendliness.

The Economy

The Economy is fine. Getting good equips is far from impossible but isn't so easy that hydra cards are worthless. They sell for 3.5 mil to 4 mil,  just for an example. Making money isn't too hard or too easy. I have no complaints.

The Events

Events are posted on the forum, website, and on the client. They're often and exciting. In addition there are big weddings hosted by GMs with MVPs and other goodies for 4 million zeny! Good for couples looking to make a splash. This means that theres something fun and exciting going on the very, very least montly.

PvP

PvP tournaments are great. GMs try to make sure it's skill based, certain broken items arn't permitted. GTB (Golden Theif Bug) Was recently banished from PVP tournaments. That may be a con to you, but I think it's a pro.

Regular PVP is fine to. People are usually friendly, and those who are excessively rude get the hammer. WoE is exciting and competitive. With several guilds and lots of castles. It happens several times a week.

Rates

It's a mid rate server, 25/25/20 meaning you level 25 times as fast
and find 20 times the drops. It's a fun pace and not too easy or too hard for casual players and pros alike.

Balance

Raije RO maintains good balance in it's server. (Hence the Banning of GTB in skill based tournaments) and avoids gaming breaking Donation items. The GMs work hard to keep things fair while not abolishing too many items.

NPCs
Each town has a Kafra, Warp Agent, Healer, and Tool Dealer centrally located. Other NPCs that can be found in Prontera (the capital city) are: Job Changer, Platinum Skills, Skills and Stats Reseter, Free Rental, Stylist, PvP Arena (access through Warper), and WoE King.
Jawaii does not have a warp, and a member of RaijeRO Forums explains why

"Got to pay the fee like everyone else. NPC is located in izlude(the town) near the docks in the northeast area.

If you're asking for free warps, no. Jawaii honeymoon enterprises need to make money somehow whether it be boat fares or expensive one time use wedding dresses. In fact the whole economy is based upon returning customers and I can already hear their lobbyists petitioning the church and king for legal polygamy. It's a lucrative business with much power behind it, willing to go to any extremes neccessary to get any advantage they can. You can't stop this. No one can."

Funny isn't it?

CONS
What I don't like about the server? No pet skills. Thats it. The rest is fan-bloody-tastic

Join
Right now Raije RO has  550 players on max (Thats how many I've personally seen)
I hope to see you there.

550?! o_O; Damn. The last time I glanced at the server, they had ~125 people on, for the most part.

I don't know much anymore about this server, accept that a few of my friends still play here. After a few incidents, Kenkaru became very picky about where he stayed. I talked to him a few weeks ago, and he's still sticking around, so it seems that they do a pretty good job at satisfying people.

I've heard a few bad things about their forums - most of the asses hang around there, bla bla bla - but, other than that, RaijeRO seems to be a pretty decent place.

From what I've seen theres been a "Clensing" People on the forums are helpfull (And Silly). GMs are very active there too, keeping things smooth.
