Update to my '17 review. It's been 4 years since then and the server is still thriving. The staffs are still as helpful/friendly as always. The dev team works hard to implement new contents. This is as close to official you're gonna get. They also have some custom content to challenge their playerbase. Daily/Weekly quests. Very enjoyable server all around.

Come there, you won't regret it. Why so would you say? Because this is, in all objectivity, the best server where to play with such an active community. There is a ton of content and furthermore, there is an exceptional mod called Monster Hunter that you've probably never seen in your whole life. A place where you'll fight some MVPs with many various mechanic increasing the experience that any player would have seen in PVE content. So, what are you waiting for? ;)

One of the best servers I've played. The community is huge and lively, you can always find over 3.000 players online. The staff is always working hard to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. While the server has a fair share of customizations, it still has that original RO feel to it.

Ex Pre-re player here. After a 7 years hyatus I decided to come back to RO and try Renewal. After trying all the mainstream servers I played on Nova and for me it was simply the best renewal experience I could ask for. Very polished server, hard rules against rmt and botting (never encountered one), balanced donations, enjoyable custom content, perfectly designed to contrast the kRo tendency of putting items behind paywalls. The population is nice too, I would definitely recommend to any player

The server has an active Staff and in usual they are quite available and provide good suport. Also a good point of the server is large number of events. Customization is something good becus official servers are far from perfect, but that customization have problems too. The biggests problems of the server in that moment is; PvP [include bg/woe] scenario not good, PvM content, in general, not challenging, Classes unbalanced.

On cyber monday I purchased some donor points as I was enjoying the server. An hour later the GMs made a short termed event for cyber monday giving extra nova points to donors. I mentioned my earlier purchase and they honored the bonus points. The server has tons of events and if you're bored of grinding has a lot to offer. It's in good fun. The donation items are nearly entirely from iRO. Any drop rate complaints are silly. You know the rate of the server when you sign up.

The community is nice, Gm always hosts events and this server has a community base on classes u play. woe / PVP (typical 1 hit what u expect for a 3rd job server? not 1 hit in woe and PVP) woe is not the best (only 1 castle) and woe draft only strong players got to play :(. but it's a really good server I really enjoy everything here. I hate in novaro is banning. banning player that dosen't even RTM sucks!. and they won't give evidence to that player that was banned. over all Its A great server.

Despite I had chosen 6 months, my account was made 2 years ago, it is a relieve to see NovaRO as populated and alive as I had left. This server is perfect for you if you possesses one the following: 1. very high social skills and friendly 2. you have 4 friends that is as dedicated as you. Otherwise you will have slight issue with obtaining Shadow gear in this game because you will have to make a party of 5 to do Monster Hunter for gathering craft materials, I always wish I can solo them myself

Quite possibly one of the best servers I've ever had the pleasure of playing on. The number of players is sizeable and mostly free of toxicity. The custom content is easily accessible and fair in difficulty, and there's always someone looking for levelling parties. GMs are available pretty often, quite helpful if a player has questions or concerns, and they treat everyone fairly from what I've seen. If you're looking for a low-rate server with an excellent community, NovaRO is the place to be~

This server is underrated at all. In my opinion this is one of the best servers I´ve ever played on. Friendly GMs, friendly community. Average 3500-4000 (!!) players online, 3rd class jobs, A LOT of quests and events every day. This is my Ragnarok-Home, I will stay here for the next years.
