Ive been playing in this server for a while, which is why i want to let everyone know what it is actually like so you can avoid the investment waste i have done. I will be clear and sincere, this server is straight up corrupted, GMs can ban you without any proof of anything and for any reason that they want. They will target people that aren't convenient for players they are friends with and ban them, they banned me in the game for typing a bad review here. Do not waste your time in this server.

At first, it was a great low rate server with decent pacing. You had the grind but parties and exp bonuses helped. The economy was decent manly thriving off WoE guild supplies and end game gears. Unfortunately, over the past few months uncheck community bullying, GM decisions and exp changes has lead to low WoE participation (stagnating the economy) and an open GM discouragement to large parties has flattened group party opportunities. Many friends continue to exit this server over these issues.

Went from enjoyable server to absolute trashfire pretty quick. The new GMs they recruited are on absolute power trips and not neutral towards players whatsoever. Heavily nerfed out partyplay with their last update. Veterans thrive solo/duo while newbies get screwed over because they don't have the gear or characters to level effectively in high lvl dungeons. WoE/PvP guilds and players get ignored and not catered to at all. Custom changes to old content we know. Not much "origins" anymore imo.

I've been playing OriginsRO for 6months plus. The server owner and developer did a great job at keeping the server in good condition. Game economy is stable, players are helpful (try to ask a question at #main, you will get instant good respond regarding char build,farming,info etc etc),big guilds competitive WOE. If you're looking for custom/latest kRO content, this server may not suit you ; If you're looking for nostalgia RO experience like me, definitely give this server a try.

After playing since 2-2 jobs was released, Origins is the safest server by far. It's been going strong for years (2013?) now and hasn't dropped in quality. There is zero P2W. WoE always has new guilds coming in and out. Bad side? The updates. This is a progressive server, so we get episodic updates. Problem is, we get these updates every year or so. As of September 2020 we are on the Thanatos Tower update. The community is also very unfriendly, but that's to be expected in any high pop server.

Since the last update on september 2020, the game has totality changed. It's now way more time consuming to reach the level 99 since the exp bonus at bio3 has gone, and it's harder to get any leveling parties. I would not recommend this server anymore.

i played on this server about 1 year. and i am very comfrotable on this server. who do not use the donation system. making this ragnarok very belanace without any donation system. like donation gear equipment. "not pay to win" i am very happy to able to play here :)

If you're looking for the most balanced, great economy, as close to vanilla as possible and very friendly community than this is the server for you! Players will usually answer any question no matter how many times asked! Server will never be renewal or have 3rd classes. Economy is very balanced, events are not overused and are still around the corner! Parties are a big thing in this server which will allow you to make friends in no time, of course you can also play solo. Check the server out <3

The server started good some years ago, unfornately, due to no donations, GMs work for free, this means too much time to released patches, no GMs online and lack of basic knowledge. The community numbers evolved during the covid phase, but, unfornately, the server is dying once again. To check macros, GMs compare the rate of attack on a valid target against targets that just entered a portal and haven't yet respawn (I guess that's what the last reviews are about). Overall, not originsRO anymore.

Extremely "old school" - just got Thana, 2 patches a year. Good: Economy is solid, no bots, no donates. People are mostly nice. Bad: Not newbie friendly, parties are pretty silent/static outside of guilds, no PvP, and WoE is trivial - 2 castles and the play style is.. weird. Noteworthy: GM is never online. No little events. Trans added last year and people still complain about it lol. Friendly people hidden here, but you gotta dig and grind pretty hard to find them. Find a guild ASAP on Discord!
