Pretty straight forward, Plain ragnarok at slightly higher rates. Repeatables enabled at 2x. Server is crowdfunded but the costs seem really high. The owner has some really odd viewpoints in design, Donation coins are locked to MVP's with the lack of options to more casual RO players. Opened recently, and so far the server seems very solid. The server really just needs some severe growth and minor tweaks in design while maintaining that vanilla feel. Looking forward to more people joining.

That server make me remember my old times in RO, the unique problem are the low number of players, but it will grow with time. Good xp rate, good drop rate, friendly people and the most important, i have a lot of fun!

This is the best pick for pre-re vanilla this summer. There are some P2W mechanics as donation hats give some benefits (like 6% vs demi, Odin's Mask or fantastic wig's movement speed) and Gym Passes. The server also has a daily login system where you can get some OP items like Bubble Gum about once a week. Other than that it's vanilla -- no warpers, job changers, healers, etc... The server is stable and the admin is available a decent amount of time. No fishiness going on from what I can see.
