Just joined during the 15th year anniversary of the server and can see why it has lasted this long! Fun events, great management, very friendly community! The GMs really go out of their way to make it fun and balanced. QoL features and custom content to spice things up. Active discord too, if you have a question or issue, GMs and players are quick to respond. Overall a great server!

HeRO is a friendly server with very hard working GMs who carefully plan out amazing events, and interesting custom content. They make sure to have events for everyone, whether you be new or a seasoned player. The custom maps and gear are carefully balanced and add huge new areas to explore. Lots of custom pets too! There are always lots of new things to farm for and new gear to work towards, although some of the older players do have a build up of wealth and there are only a few major guilds.

What I like most about heRO is the balance. Custom gears are interesting, but they do not overshadow official gears. Same with monsters and maps. It all feels like it complements the official content. Some of the quests and events are riveting, you can tell a substantial amount of work goes into them. The donation items are chance items and create no gap between people who donate and those who don't. There is no Pay2Win. It's Ragnarok as it should be.

I wish I had joined sooner. It's a low rate server with some Quality of Life features and enhancements. The Hatter junk cards trade in is interesting. Monster of Moment helps driving hunting to good farm spots. As it is birthday month, Hero's Journey is an amazing opportunity to join and take a grasp of the awesome quest scripting available on the server. My personal take for drawbacks, not a big deal, but is the lack of card removal and some custom changes for Renewal mobs, like Property.

Great PvM server with a GM team that has both original and renewal content that's adjusted for pre-renewal mechanics. There's lot of new gears to support builds that are normally poorly supported by Gravity such as Grand Cross, or Magic Stalker and so on. All the custom content can be overwhelming but discord is friendly and it's like discovering things for the first time all over again. 15 year old with no wipe makes this server a good time investment in the end.

I have played RO, on and off, since it was first released in 2002. In that time, I have bounced around multiple fan servers before landing on HeRO in 2012. The biggest selling point of this server is its effort to add features that have become commonplace in modern MMOs; things like fishing, mining and an allegiance system. Plus, while popular fan server trappings like Warp NPCs exist here, they must first be earned through questing. All in all, it is a version of RO that is second to none.

A wonderful server and my long time home. Heavily customized renewal content in an attempt to retain the classic Pre-re feel. Some of the updates feel slow when the original content's been out for ages, but it feels right when it finally does come out. WoE is pretty dead, as is the pvp scene, but people are largely friendly. Has been focusing more on completely original content, and some of the newer content has caused some crashing, but they are quick to fix what's reported.

The Best and balance in all aspects of low rate server that you will get! Friendly community and GM's but strict to the rules of the server. So many Custom items and gears that is worth to get because money is not an issue only hard work and perseverance to game mechanics. More specially this server has no wipe out meaning your hard work is all worth it! Please do come and visit to experience :D

The server is great! The content is very entertaining! And the community takes it to an even HIGHER LEVEL! Everyone is so friendly and helpful and even when there's few people online in the game, I can still count on Discord. My favorite part is creating new characters to participate in the novice events with others!

The server is 15 years and stable. That alone is worth checking out. Players are fewer, but friendly. Staff is very attentive to handling reports/bots. Economy is good, despite the age and size. I've had not problem getting anything I need, at a pretty decent price. Did I mention the players are very helpful, and willing to help out new people. The customs are delicately balanced to the point they may or may not be better than regular content. Mainly just helps facilitate alt builds. Please try.
