I was looking for a classic server for the nostalgia of playing IRO 20 years ago, and payon stories does not disappoint! Healthy economy and helpful community. I could not ask for more in a server! The custom content is a nice twist too, and finding a party is pretty easy. I am so glad I found this server :)

This is the first server since the early days back in 2004 that has captivated me for months. The server offers a classic experience that is improved by well-thought balance changes and adjustments to mob spawns and items. The community is incredibly friendly and helpful, always eager to help either in-game on ir the discord. There's always some event happening that offers costumes or other cosmetic changes such as dyes. The only downside is that the number of active players could be higher.

I'd like to clarify that my rating in Eventfulness does not reflect a low opinion on my part. I believe it's fine if a server just lets you get on with playing the game normally and people shouldn't be under pressure to host a bunch of bespoke content and events. They've done good work rebalancing XP and skills. Overall I love the atmosphere and you really can't go wrong with this fully classic realistic-rate experience.

I have played for around 4 weeks on Payon Stories now and can honestly say it is one of the best experiences I have ever had in RO. The community feels similiar to the „old days“ and I believe this is due to the multi client ban. We actually have meaningful party play again and you get to connect to real people. I can‘t remember the last time I interacted with this many people in a game! The custom featurs and balance changes are carefully implemented and the economy is stable. Give it a try!

Clearly a nice place were start to notice hard work of the staff in the details. Custom content still rough but deserve worthy note absolutely good to spent time to try them. Often enjoyable events. HIGHLY recommended to try, gonna meet a REAL low rate exp... Solo or group ill worth your time.

After a long time away, I wanted something nostalgic but with a little customization for freshness. This server scratches that itch quite well. Class rebalances are excellent, would even like more like this. Custom dungeons are very fun and replayable. Custom gear/cards are balanced and impactful.

I Played Payon Stoies server for 5 months, it's great, no pay to win, no donation required, if you want a classic server, this is it. This server is great for grouping with players, people are friendly and supportive. Playing Ragnarok Online with just one client is really nice because it's social and nostalgic. I love it. Thanks.

Very good server. Developers do a great job with custom balances, custom dungeons. I can highly reccomend playing here. Content is coming on a good pace. I do not have the feeling that I'm running behind at any time.

Payon Stories is an amazing 1x server. Feels long term and worth investing the time. The community is also very mature and friendly. Personally loving the 2nd Jobs and how the server's pace is. If only this server had more WoE guilds attending. That would've been a winner!

I've thoroughly enjoyed my 11 months spent so far on this server. The community is vibrant, the server stability is commendable and I personally love the class balancing changes they have brought. The anticipation for the upcoming trans classes update in the near future has also got me very excited. All in all, its definitely a server that I would recommend for anyone out there looking for a RO experience just like the old days. It is definitely a server worth sticking around for!
