After playing the server avrg 8 hours a day for a month I can say that population only decreased. Since start economy never existed. Any potential competition disappeared with the only competitive guild. Since 01.01.21 (start) there was only one custom event. There are few decent custom systems that don't offer much and few boring repeatable systems that offer a lot (Turn-in for exp/THQ). There are weekly updates so things might change. At least GM's are easily available - playing on their alts.

I recently just got to max level, it took me about two weeks trying to reach it. During that time I also played different characters to not burn myself out. While I leveled I found various new npcs and also came to realization real fast that this wasn't normal RO. Yes, you get to trans relatively quick though the real grind starts after 100. Although you might be wanting to Grind it out to max level there are quiet a lot of other things you can do while still leveling or just changing the scene.

This is one of the best servers I ever played, it got a lot of new mechanics, mini games, customization and much more, keeping the balance and justice between players. It doesn't have pay to win so that every player can join, make friends, and have fun, without worrying about spending money to get somewhere

The gm team seems to really care and have put forth meaningful effort towards custom features and it shows from the moment you log in and work your way towards their custom hub town. The population is still fairly small which is why the scores are lower in some areas. This server is definitely unlike any of those darkRO clones you see pop up weekly on RMS and Facebook and is certainly far more similar to a low/mid-rate with the work required to reach end-game both in leveling and gearing.

Server is up and stable. There is no economy at the moment since the server just opened and there aren't a ton of players. The changes seem fairly balanced and the current amount of content will keep people busy for quite a while. This server takes time to level and get end-game gear but getting standard gear is very quick. Guild competition is TBD given that there are some small factions and no PVP/GVG other than over MVPs/leveling spots.

a new take on the pre-renewal settings to keep the game up-todate with other classic MMO's out right now. Even though this is considered a 255/99 midrate, it's more lowrate with QoL added on. New meta with old methodology and knowledge sprinkled in.

New server from the players who helped make obsidianro. It is a very new server right out the gate but this is truly the best way to expriance RO. I enjoy myself and it brings back all the nostalgia there are a lot of people who are really dedicated and spent many years playing and understanding what makes ro fun.

Fresh server but the mind of the creators are amazing, RO vets playing currently and big things to come. Its low rate with high levels so don't expect to come in and max and then farm gear it will actually be a build up to establish yourself.
