After several ddos attacks the GM switched to an expensive one but secured host so the server is very stable now. The GM's are responsive to problems asap but there half of the day some players abuse the absence of GM's. The downside of the server is there are so many Filipinoes on Prontera spamming their language.

I have been playing for about two weeks now and have grown very fond of NovaRO. The Rates are on the lower side which give your accomplishments meaning while still catering to those of us with a busier life style. The server is updated unlike any renewal server I have played before. Players are very willing to help one another and the admins in charge are the best you could hope for. The only obscurity is the economy which is the result of a still growing population. 100% worth your time.

I like this server. Friendly atmosphere and very helpful staff. They were recently being DDOS'd and finally moved providers because of it. Now the server is much more stable. A lot of events to choose to do if your one that does those things. They keep things fair and honestly, they try to keep things in working order. They also just released Geffen Magic Tournament. From as far as I can go, which is only up till rank 6, I thought it was loads of fun. Give it a try!

Stabilty and Availability - A week or two of playing and experience a bit of server lag one time, which was swiftly addressed by the Admin. Community - Everyone is nice, there doesn't seem to be any sort of hostility or animosity between anyone (and I've been to servers where it was rampant) Game Masters - Haven't had much interactions with the GMs aside from the Admin. He took an hour to work with me to get me into the game due to internet issues. Extra mile there. Gameplay- On par for RO

Really good server. Only need more people for WoE and parties. Good balance, perfect XP and Drop. Zero lag. This server with more people would be the best. Just enter and test it, you'll get fun for sure!

It's been two months since I played NovaRO. I must say it caters the best up-to-date content of the official RO. This renewal server is exactly the same as the original one but has higher rates and a bit of customization. The friendliness and helpfulness of the community and the GMs are unmeasurable. From Hunting Quests to Headgear Quests. Balanced Dailies, bug-free instance dungeons and plenty more awaits you here! See you around in NovaRO, folks! -Cocopah

My experience with this server itself is pretty near perfect.Besides recent ddos issues(which seem gone now)the server has always been available and lagg free, its GM's feel totally dedicated,there's always new updates on the horizon yet they'r never too bussy to help/answer players.The downsides are that guild competition basically does not exist; and (altough its probably fine for newer players) the economy feels stale, zeny is no issue, but items are sorta scarce with little people supplying.

For those of you who are looking for a peaceful place to play the game, this is it. It's got a relaxing atmosphere, and the GM doesn't allow inflammatory language in the main chat. There had been some ddos attacks but that's been dealt with now. Same sex marriage is allowed. No @storage though, which is fine if you're coming from iRO. But if you're coming from a private server with that option, let me tell you it's not a loss at all. Oh and the homunculus feed rate is 10x.

I cannot reccomend this server enough, It's incredible, GM just sits on main and answers questions, there are no lags, classes are balanced as far as I know, economy is seems kind of lacking since there are not that many players YET, community is incredible, you can ask anything on main and you will get answers pretty much immediatly. Im having a lot of fun on this server and it's only Ragnarok that I want to keep playing since KDR which died years ago.

My experience with rag has changed so much since the beginning and sadly it has gone down hill. This server on the other hand has brought my love for the game back from the dead! I am having fun learning the new instances, dungeons, monsters, and items. I am loving the 3rd job classes and loving the new renewal system as this is the first server I have played with it. Everyone is very helpful in teaching me the "new" game. I have recruited all my friends from old servers to here too! :D
