There's a reason why tRO has been the top private server for many many years. It's very well balanced; Players who did not donate are also able to obtain donated items itself through various ways such as Monster Races and Monster of the Week etc for CC! Seasonal events are lots of fun too! You can tell that the GMs put in lots of effort into designing them for us players. I'm patiently waiting for BG update since tRO has lots of potential to mold itself into a competitive BG/PvP/WoE scene.

One of the most traditional low rate servers out there. No donations, No multi-clienting, no commands (like autoloot), or any other customizations. With 1/1/1 rates, this is the truest form of Ragnarok which is how it is supposed to be played! Even earning 10k of zeny feels like an accomplishment with such rates. Nothing feels better than getting a card with 0.01%! It can feel grindy but there are parties available. Still a growing community but definitely one to check out for yourself!
