Low Latency, fast porting and loading, everything nearly all other private servers are not. Every new player has immediately noticed it compared to other p servers (have one several in the past months). Quests from old essence still in tact, careful / balanced future updates still coming out. Fresh start isnt too long or burdensome- feels just right. Seems to be two competitive guilds here atm and playerbase seems to be growing. No sneaky p server population bloat tricks- a natural 75-100.

This server just opened and it's been a great ride. A lot of unique features and customs but maintains the core of RO gameplay. The community is very friendly and helpful and the administrator is very professional and open to critiques and changes. Even though the server just opened, I can safely say it has a lot of potential to be an excellent successor to EssenceRO.

Having fun so far on the opening weekend, this server feels like a nice balance between low/high rates. Max lvl of 170 on 75x rate plays more like a lowrate 99/70 for grinding and gearing. Custom mobs are really cute, theres lots of character customization options and the client has a nice UI.

The server just relaunched and seems to be heading in the right direction. There are two serious guilds starting to build up for WoE. Hopefully BG and PVP over MVPs will be competitive as the server matures. The server just launched the economy is more or less an unknown at this point. Having played Essence back in v1 and v2, I would say that this is a worthy successor to bring EssenceRO into the 2020s.
