Been playing this server since alpha, still having fun. No donations/cash shop, progression keeps things interesting, hunting boards and spotlights keep grinding varied and the community is generally nice and helpful on Discord and global chat ingame. Staff knows what they're doing and are easy to reach through Discord or FB. Player feedback and suggestions are considered and implemented if they fit with the server vision. Trans is coming in October, so still lots time to catch up!

PZ renewed my interest in RO when it launched and has kept it up since, especially with the latest update being OGH and all the gear that comes with it! There are several catch-up mechanics that help get you to 100+ trans with some starter gear fairly quick, so you can participate in current content. The community isn't massive, but definitely dedicated. The rebalanced skills and Zero-exclusive gear are my highlights, they make everything feel fresh. Also loads of costumes, if that's your thing!
