Origins is an awesome server with classic mechanics. I have zero connection issues playing from the US. The server has not once been unavailable in my time playing. Mostly everyone I have bumped into, partying, guild, or any other part of the game, have been pleasant and helpful. I have not seen many events in my time, but that isn't as important to me. The staff has been helpful with any issues I have had, personally. The guild competition has only grown. All in all I am glad to be part of ORO
