This server allows for a very nostalgic playthrough of a classic MMO that forged the way for many modern games. Although its been relatively quiet while I've been on, and the occasional lag spike here and there, it's otherwise been a fun time playing so far. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a truly classic RO experience.

1.you can't have/find chill vibes like 2003 classicRO , all people not friendly, but still can find leveling party but will separated later because they have own circle. 2. you can't be nice people or meet nice people here, being nice = sus , met nice people = got manipulated. 3. GM/staffs will never trust you, they treat you like trash. only thinking you playing RO for living, not as community. 4. too much gatekeeping. dumb WOE, dumb MvP, if you newcomer, got power or rich = ban

Been on Payon Stories for 10 months now and still am having a great deal of fun. Various customizations make both solo and party play viable for nearly all builds without changing the identity of classic RO. No observable drama so far, no staff meltdowns/power trips, just the classic RO experience with better balancing and QoL adjustments. Come grind with us.

Very nice and friendly server, I only had a problem to create an account for my wife but I had full suport on discord. Have good custome balance changes, it bring back the feeling of the real old times.

I'm very happy on the server, playing since January. Server is global, with players on all continents, which makes the server multicultural and active at all times. I wish there were more organized guilds that compete with the strongest guild on the server. I highly recommend the server for new players, the community is receptive.

GMS answerd each of my tickets fast with a solution. Classic feeling with much QOL improvements. I fell in love with this server. Even tough there are almost none events here. The community is great, made some friends here and sitting in Payon and talking to people is a great flashback, or seeing people in every dungeon, farming stuff. No cash item shop, no over the top BS or wings or stuff. We just got Nifflheim and stuff for the PvP lovers will come soon (bg). It’s still pre trans Til 2024.

GM's here are rude. You'll get banned for no reason or basis. If you try to reach out to them, they wont even listen and just believe themselves and wont change their mind. They dont even give warnings atleast.. or have a proper investigation. Dont play on this server, you will just waste your time.

The server is taking the slow classic update approach, so you get to experience each update for a while as they were. We've been playing without trans for months, with some QOL custom changes. It's a great opportunity to reminisce and experience nostalgia for someone who played this game a long time ago.

A very slightly rebalanced classic experience. I love it. To be honest it is my first time playing pre-trans classic, so I don't have a over-the-top nostalgia holding me back from enjoying the little balancing changes implemented here. Matter of fact I enjoy them a lot, pratically all class builds are viable to some degree. Market is good, item pool is great, community is awesome. I'm confident this server offers a faithful classic experience, and best at that.

Great Low-Rate Server! There is some custom dungeons and mobs, but they feel vanilla. People are very friendly, there are usually static parties ongoing. Economy is healthy, plus the control panel has access to historical listing prices and buying prices.
