Great Custom server with classic theme. GM's and CM's have been the best ive experienced with attentiveness and general care for the community. For a slightly lower population it feels much more populated.

The great thing about Payon Stories is the emphasis on community. The developers have gone to great lengths to create a welcoming and inclusive community where players can come together to share their experiences, make new friends, and help each other out. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the world of Ragnarok, you'll find that the community at Payon Stories is always there to support you and make you laugh. I’ve had countless weekend nights of laughing with parties.

I love this x1 server, it's really chill and giving classic vibes with QOL (check wiki if you are interested) updates, we really need them in 2023. The community is really friendly and will help you to make character build or will give you tips on how to play well in the party. Some classes are more overpowered than others, but hey, you cannot make a perfect balance in a twenty-year-old game. The server is multinational, but there are no ping problems.

Great low rate server, has a classic feel with some customization. Custom changes are mostly for buffing weak classes/skills in pvm, party bonus exp and increased sp regen. No dual clienting creates a better mmo feel for the community. No pay-to-win from donating. Reduced guild capacity + WoE season system which promotes more competitive and balanced war of emperium.

Good server with great class balance changes. No multi-client, no pay to win, no bots, awesome! Friendly GMs and community, healthy economy, events, custom dungeons and much more! You should play here if you like the good old RO <3

Love this server and love classic! Came here new without knowing anyone and people were really helpful with newbie gear and parties were great for leveling new chars. There's some slight customization that gives some more content and nothing that disrupts classics true nature.

I've been playing the server for about 3 months now. The server is very fun, the population is very decent. The custom content is very entertaining. I love the fact that the server population is very diversified. I've made friends with people from at least 10 different countries.

Great vanilla server! The changes in general and QoL features are spot on. Reasonable and necessary class balancing are subtle yet very effective. Party play is huge and usually it's the most effective way of lvling and farming (smaller dynamic parties work well too). The mods are friendly and eager to help you, the same goes for 99% of the players :D. Pls ignore the low rating reviews, they prob got banned for doing something stupid like multi, RMT or macroing. I'm having a fantastic time! :)

Great classic Ragnarok server 1X server (however its a little more than 1X) card drops are 0.03, the grind is fun however. People make parties to level up are party xp is wayy higher! do not miss this server if you want a stable reliable server that you can level and game on. Payon Stories is class!

I used to give a perfect 100 score to this server. Here are the strong points. One of the best servers in terms of customization. The changes are spot on. The job modifications are what ive been looking for for decades. Very balanced economy, gameplay and great original content. But the LAAAAG has been crazy lately especially for SEA players. no matter how great your gear are or perfect your reflexes and fast your internet is if your mobber freezes every second you end up dying every time.
