This server is nothing more than a cash grab. It's heavily pay-to-win, with ridiculously low drop rates unless you spend money. To get a decent drop rate, you're expected to buy costumes totaling around $300. Instead of rewarding players for their time and effort, the server pushes you to open your wallet. It feels like the owner care more about the milking players than creating a fun and balanced gaming experience.

Thank you for your honest feedback. VALKYNRO is a true low-rate server, so progression takes time. Donations help fund infrastructure, security, staff, and development, but they do not guarantee victory or exclusive progression. Costumes mainly provide convenience and minor perks, not required $300 spending. Our commitment remains transparency, balance,& free frm exploits. Please check our website’s item records, and share any specific feature you believe is pay-to-win so we can review it fair.

Its been a while since I played RO.Great community, GMs are helpful. No P2W, yet(?), But pay to look alright with some customized costume quest. more could be added tbh. Economy is okay. some items are a bit pricey, but obtainable if you don't mind the grind. no trans class, but coming soon(?). many great class re-work balance. population is okay, at its current state. not to crowded, not to empty depending on time zone. pvp/gvg idk have not tried. Will update post when i play more when i can.

Before Payon Stories, I would get nostalgic about the classic Ragnarok Online experience. I would day dream about my days killing obeaunes for saints robes, munaks for shoes, etc. Sure, you can still do that on other servers, but they always include a small "feature" that eventually destroys the entire economy. I'm happy to report that after >1 year playing on this server, the economy is more stable than ever. PS has rekindled my love for RO and I am so happy I get to experience this again.

I started playing on payon stories 2 months ago and I am really pleased with the changes they made to the base game. Usually boring or underpowered classes feel strong, new builds are possible and the community is helpful and active. Looking to run a turtle group? Every day players are looking for groups (usually up to 6), since the exp share penalty is reduced and group play is ensentiviced.
There is no pay to win, just a classic ragnarok experience

I've been in the server for almost a month, everyone seems super friendly and ready to help out new players, the chat is always fun to interact with. Personally i haven't had any issues with any player or staff. The economy can be a bit on the pricey side compared to other low rate pre-renewal servers i've played before, but that doesn't take away any of the good things the server has to offer. I love the rebalance of classes and the pure love pour into it! Highly recommend

This guys still make Magic with class changes. I like the way they doing things, split parties, make nonplayable card playable. I hope we have trans soon, but still got time to make more 99 before it will reléase;) Pray for homunculus :)

This server has been around for 19 years and has never been wiped. If you want a server you can keep coming back to, this is it. Talon has fantastic seasonal events, tons of QoL improvements, and many great features for new players to get started. 8x/8x/3x rates feel just right. There is still some challenge to the game, but you can complete your goals in less time. The GMs put out monthly updates and are active in Discord. Create up to 300 characters. Come join the fun!

This is the first server that I have ever felt at home. Full of friendly and fun people. For the first time in my long life I got to experience RO all the way to tasting the end game. The other day I created a new character and there was so many people to play with.
What stands out? The class rebalancing: All classes play and perform better in their old and new roles. New areas to explore. An active GM team that is hard at work on new features.

Very good classic ro server. It has a nice skill rebalance and is in constant change to keep things new. The playerbase while small is very stable and it grows which is nice, but there are already enough ppl playing to have several parties going on at any moment, fight for mvps, etc. So very much alive and gives an improved feeling of the classic ro pre-re experience. Best server in general so far i've played in and i've playing since the beta of ro...

Basically what the original game should have naturally evolved into. Smart balancing decisions, custom content that meshes well with the vanilla roots, friendly players & staff, and absolutely no p2w. Tried RO on many different servers throughout the years, and this is the one that finally clicked for me.
