I've been playing Payon Stories since January 2023. Throughout this time the mod team has been patient and careful. They have made some tremendous changes to the classes that make them more fun and balanced. The custom content is available to low mid and high level players. The community is small but friendly and growing in number. Give us a shot if you're looking for low rate, well balanced, good community. Trans on roadmap for this year, ninja just introduced

played on the old oath server and now on payon stories. must be like 1,5 years now? can't say for sure it's too long, lol. i am a casual pve player and this server just hit the right spot for me! lately the economy took a lil hit because of lower player count but then they released assassin balance changes and the ninja class, which brought some fresh air and finally helped assassin to be on par with other classes. for me this server was always nice and stable. it will stay that way, i am sure!

I played RO and was addicted to it years ago. So now thanks to Payon Stories I got hooked once again to this wonderful game. Love how the community is very helpful to new players and at least in my personal experience there is always players willing to party and help each other level up.

I used to play ragnarok in early 2000 and was far away from ragnarok like about 15~17 years, it was the best years of my gamer life. Since then i was playing other games and tough my ragnarok life was nice, but it was over. Found this lovely server in December/23 and fell in love at first sight, since then i'm playing almost everyday with my friends. Server is great, no P2W, friendly players, super well balanced, economy balanced, etc... If u are looking for a OT low rate server, go for it!

Best RO server I've been on, hands down. The community is actually really cool and mature. The devs are good people and the work they've been doing would make Gravity from back in the day proud. Want to get that RO feeling back from 2004 but with sensible adjustments? Get in here. I'm very reluctant diving into servers with class changes and custom content, but this server really does it right.

best server i have ever had. skill balance changes perfect. ideal server to live an experience closer original ro. this is best low server arround. i never liked custom ro but payon stories is so well balanced.

Good server for having an all-around good RO experience. Although I sometimes worry about things deviating too far from the norm, all changes have been sound and I'm still able to enjoy the game as it was intended. Easy to form and find a party, main chat's welcoming, a large and functioning economy, and it's easy to solo due to economical and balanced consumables being sold in Payon. I don't participate in WoE, but afaik it remains competitive. GMs are decent dudes as far as I've witnessed

The best Ragnarok experience I've ever had! I like to come back to RO every now and then - this is a breath of fresh air. With some small skill balance changes so many more builds are now viable. People and GMs - very friendly. Zeny matters - but there is no cashshop/donation BS, so it truly feels rewarding as you work yourself up to some decent items. Also while it is 1x rate, the exp tables have been rebalanced and everything is worth your while. If you think "maybe" definitely give it a try!

Good Server for New players, the skill rebalanced is very good they really considered player feedback, although its a x1 rate is very close to x2 since all the mobs exp have been rebalanced. server activity differs depending on time zone EU and NA is the most active, the server is waiting for another update for ninjas,gunsliner and finally assassins, seen some of the video of rebalance they did on Assassin and its good not to OP. also the server is preparing for transclass also recieving classR?

Top teir, if youre looking for a genuin iRO experience with 24/7 active community come here, theres a lack of full mobbing groups at lower levels but its legitimately my only complaint about the server.
