I am a very casual and laid back person/player, only play with 1 other friend and the experience here has been great. Only challenge for solo folks is going to be the Lv 85-99 curve, which may require grouping or extensive grinding. The curve between 1-70 is friendly, 70-85 is also friendly but you may want to start using EXP books. However, 85-99 is extremely punishing and unfun, you will need to use books and may take several days to weeks, unless you party. Outside of that: Great server!

Back to RO after 12 years of nostalgia. Tried multiple servers this is by far the best for PvE. If you are only into PvE, casual or hardcore, this server is for you. Pros Added renewal maps, more PvE content by far. MVP instances, no monopolizing end-game MVPs. Party bonus exp to encourage party play and leveling. Random option system making MVP drops available to casuals. While the hardcore still has things to do. Cons Not much pvp, when population grows it might change

The server is everything an old-school RO player could ask for. IMO Charlie understands very well what made RO good back then and how to improve it while preserving the spirit. Some QoL is often combined with at least a little bit of effort so it doesn't feel hollow like the warper NPC where you need to visit the area first to unlock the warp. The discord is very active and the GM team is always around for questions. The server plays very smooth and has lots of unique twists in balancing. 10/10
