Awesome low rate server with a passionate playerbase and staff. The game keeps getting better with each new patch. And the last recent update massively improved Assassin with some well thought-out tweaks.

Payon stories is a great server, i cant remember the last time i found a good and opulated server without a cash shop, 0 p2w options and a with good sized community, if your looking for a low rate server with good rebalance on the classes and no pay to win i highly recommend this one!

My name is xendra ???? I played Ragnarok more than 22 years ago and after a long time my family brought me to this server to play again ???? I started playing on Payon Stories right after it opened and I'm still playing today. I think it's the only server I'll be with forever ???? there are amazing people here and the GM who does everything to make the players feel great and have a reason to play here ☺️ there's always something new, people are friendly☺️ Join us for adventure ????

Coming back to RO after a 14ish year gap, jumped from server to server, this has been the most enjoyable experience so far. low rates, active community, plenty of opportunities as a new player to get involved and establish a foothold. Do recommend for the oldschool feel, the balance changes for classes are tastefully done imo, and the custom content isnt intrusive if thats not your thing.

First server I play with character customization. I'm glad the GM staff actually works to balance everything constantly. The server population is good enough. Hope this review finds more people to join and play together. We have a guild that welcomes all new players, we help with gear and everything to get you on track, Join the Cult of the Green Feeler! find IGN Support Priest!

Started playing on this server like 2 months ago and was greeted by a very friendly community that helped me out starting my first Character. The 1x rates (more like 1.5xish due to custom balancing) and the early patch progression feels like im playing Ragnarok like it was back in 2004. The staff is very friendly and available when needed. The custom content and balance changes feel very good especially because the players give constant feedback on the changes.

This server has generally pleasant players and helpful staff, who promptly address concerns via the Discord ticket system. Both custom and official content are available, although updates might not meet everyone's expectations. The absence of donations or pay-to-win elements ensures a fair playing field. Staff volunteer their time, and do their best to maintain the server. Additionally, the rebalanced EXP system facilitates solo or small-party leveling to higher tiers.

Great low rate server! The class rebalance renews the game experience, making it much more fun to play different builds. Many skills got different effects, like assassin's Poison React which gives sustain for the class. I really like these changes, makes me want to try many builds!

The server has friendly international community. Classes are rebalanced to allow wide variety of viable build. Class changes are hugely influenced by player feedback and usually undergo extensive testing before making it into live server. Custom dungeons are well make and some of them feel more finished than the base game content. If you play here, check out ashes and undertombs dungeons. Server holds seasonal events for cosmetic rewards, which last long enough for no one to miss the opportunity

A classic experience reimagined. Do not let the lack of transcendent classes demotivate you from joining the server. Payon Stories is pretty much unique in the way the admin team has made sensible changes to the base classes that finally make a lot of builds more viable and fun to play, without straying too far from the original class design. From trying out different builds to the seasonal events and custom dungeons, you will have a lot to keep you entertained in this friendly community.
