heRO was the first private server I've played. I liked the fact that when I started GMs were prompt, friendly, and available. Over time, the GMs have vanished, the economy is so over-priced that it's not worth buying anything, and there's still scripting errors and glitches that need to be fixed (ToH anyone?). The server seems to be slowly dying.

When I joined esunaRO, I loved it. I still do. But the server keeps crashing and crashing and crashing. The website is virused, as is the wiki--or at least it's triggering AVG. I see a few GMs on, but almost never the server owner in recent months. The population has dwindled to almost nothing with all the server crashes. It's still a fun server once the population is larger, with a good chunk of customs. It's also easily the best renewal server I've ever played on.

I've missed EsunaRO since it went down. It's been redone, respec'ed, and renewed! The GM's are consistently on and friendly, and are always willing to give advice/troubleshoot issues. Items and areas are being slowly added so as to make sure there are few (if any) bugs. Due to the recent restart, I haven't seen much guild competition, but I'm pretty sure that's coming in the next few weeks. Friendly population and tons of fun. Still the best non-renewal renewal server out there!
