In general, I've been playing aRO for a long time. I've seen the ups and downs of the server, and to be honest - the server is on a down right now. The servers are pretty stable unless there's maintenance. The community is kind of jerk-ish for the most part. Events happen on a routinely basis. The GMs are helpful, but their availability is not at top notch especially when it comes to support tickets. The economy is straight trash (no offense), there's only two guilds that WoE, & classes are fine

As a veteran, I've watched this server grow and have its ups and downs, but despite everything, im proud to say that im a part of this server and I wouldnt leave this server for any other. GMs are kind and helpful along with a great handful of players, especially to new players. The class system is exceptionally balanced. Economy could be better. WoE was thrilling and fun, but with the lack of players logging on, Its hard to get excited. With more players this server can come back to life.

This server has SO much potential to be great. But the veteran players are causing it to crash and burn. They are NOT friendly or willing to help newbies. Ever. WoE is pretty terrible, there is one huge guild that all sit on the emp room together. The GMs used to be really great, but now it's just those rude veteran players that play favorites. If they don't open their eyes and find a solution to this, the server won't be around at all. Terribly sad, as I actually enjoyed this one in its prime.

Server is stable and only maintenance is when no one is playing. The community lacks population, but events are big high on this server (Special events like Easter Hunt) are a whole lot of fun . GM's are friendly, all of them are helpful, but lack availability. The economy in this game is trash, so many overpriced items a newbie won't be able to buy, unwelcoming on the server. Guild competitions aren't that bad, but only a few WOE, (Like, 4 guilds). Class balance is average. Overall an OK server

Wasted potential is the best way to describe anesisRO. After 3 (or was it 4?) name changes and a Staff reformulation, they finally got the formula right to make a great server. Sadly, all of the custom content, friendly and competent Staff, decent amount of events and WoE scene improvements are overshadowed by the lack of players, which are in majority veteran players that are fully geared. This makes It really hard for a new player to truly enjoy this server as you feel out of place.

Been here since 2007 and this server is part of my life. Very strict with violations and such. Awesome server ever and classic RO experience. Overall friendly community. Highly recommended! Come on and join us! :)

After playing for many years I consider ARO to be my second home. The people are very friendly and always willing to help each other out. The GM and PRs feel like big brothers and sisters to me and are always willing to help those in need and make things fun and exciting. The only thing this server is lacking is population but I grantee if you checked out ARO you would fall inlove with it just as I did. 10/10

I really like that they added Farvir as a permanent town and expanded. It looks less lame now. I do wish that they'd bring out content for this faster. Last summer they had hat quests come out every week that was pretty cool, as those hats can't be obtained normally through iRO quests. Still love that there is some auto services thing, no longer have to put in tickets to get weapons unslotted. I look forward what comes next.

Very stable server, been playing since 06-14 (just a little under half of my life xD) and in those years never had a wipe. Community is somewhat friendly for the most part. Staff members are usually on everyday for a bit and are very friendly and help answer queries. Economy is not doing so hot especially considering the server population and the fact that you cannot obtain the server's premium currency ads ingame. Class balance varies on individual skill and not HEAVILY on items.
