Awesome! this server is just that. I've been playing for about 2 years now, and I've never been bored. It's the only server where you stay up till 2AM to play WOE. The community is also super friendly, the GM's helpful, and the classes balanced. Overall, 10/10

Stable server, lags sometimes, GMs are friendly quick and helpful when they get on which is about 1-3x a day 4-5days a week. There are events for almost every big holiday, as well as new years. Donations are balanced as well as the third class. The donation credits can buy you an infinite fly wing or infinite b wing as well as hats and guild towns that have all the npcs in it but nothing outrageous to make a player more powerful than another. Been playing on this server for 3+years now

The server is rather balanced. Overpowered items that only allow donors to top the ladder have been removed. Hard work, time, and a little know how, as well as a friend or two in this server have allowed me to live and play happily here. GM's here are very helpful albeit cryptic at times, but otherwise helpful with regards to details and concerns. Items are rather expensive but nothing that hard work, friends, and a little know how can't solve. All in all, I find this server great.

The custom looks nice, with a reasonable stat. Donation rewards are helpful but don't bring much power, which is exactly what needs to get a server to run a long run. MVPs can't be solo which bring more interact between players. Quite a few daily event which occasional GM event so things don't get too boring. The best server i played in the 10+ yrs in RO.

From what I see there is a large about of people, much activity, GM online 24/7, no downtime, and a nice community. I suggest playing EssenceRO! This server has events everyday and has shown many aspects that all servers strive for. Including custom items! I haven't needed to speak to a gm though because not many problems arise and when they do I can enter town and a couple of friendly people will broadcast or just answer my questions in person(in game). Try it out guys.

I have been playing this server for 1 and 1/2 years now. I have found EssenceRO to be one of the better servers. First of all classes are balanced. However it seems like ERO is going down the drain population wise, about 1 and a half years ago you would usually find 1.2k people online on a weekday, now its about 800 people. But the quality of gaming is still the same and I thinnkk I will be here for a long time to come.

Great server. Played RO for over 5 years, mainly on other small mid-rate servers and just recently switched to Essence after a long break. Had a great time, enjoy it pretty well. Already met quite a few people, helpful, friendly and they've gotta good, active Main chat for boredom too. Lol.

I've already played on multiple servers before, however, eRO has sparked my attention the most. The donations are balanced and there are lots of customs that could be made. One thing that I would like to see changed is the lack of events. Otherwise, this server is the best server out there in my opinion with a friendly community unless you meet a stray troll somewhere. GMs are fairly helpful and if they don't reply to you at first, they'll get back to your question sooner or later.

I think this server is really great. It's easy to get into, not really that hard, and the rates are perfect for casual playing with enough boost to not be a grind. I say it's a keeper. ;D But that's just me.

This is quite possibly the best server I've played on EVER. I've been on the server less than a month and have already found myself immersed with friends, have made significant economic progress, and have participated in a few events. Classes and customization are done in such a way that the game remains balanced, and that success is reliant on cooperation rather than sheer force. I've heard a lot of people say that they "had to go it alone," but I have to wonder, did they ever even say ,"Hi!"?
