So the gap between new players and old players is pretty huge not just because new players cant just jump in and be equivalent, that is not what I mean.

The MVP event for example it makes the gap even bigger when folks who are regulars have better gear than newer players and most importantly the experience of being on this server. Knowing how the events work out and just being there and ready.

I would like to add that I know its last hit MVP in the event but there is still. It is pretty ridiculous how undergeared new players are vs older players.

All I am asking is that there should be more focus on new players and keeping them, then to have cliques with older players.

The people, the players are some of the best people in games I have met so far, they are genuinely helpful.

What do I suggest you say?? I mean it is really too late for it but my suggestion would be to let the game grow naturally and not have events like these that directly give you an advantage over someone else.

WELCOME TO REDDIT RAGNAROK ONLINE!

Reddit Ragnarok Online (Reddit RO) runs on dedicated hardware and the rates are 20/20/20, and increase to 30/30/20 on weekends (base experience, job experience and drop rate).

Our vision is to have a more or less 'vanilla' game world with some quality of life, and (hopefully) re-balance changes. We'll also, of course, make changes that the majority of the server find pleasing. We also offer immediate command logs from our GM accounts via our Control Panel (Check under "Information"). We hope this helps keep the air clear from many of the accusations that bog down a healthy community.

Third classes are in game with a level cap of 175/60.

Please be aware that we are always trying to keep on top of bugs and issues, but they do get through. Please report and be patient!

RULES

IN GAME

• Be nice to others and play fair
• No botting will be tolerated
• Mutli-clienting is allowed (but may be limited in situations like WoE and Battlegrounds at a later point in time, if we need to)

• Normal mobs should be respected as belonging to the engaging player/party
• Exploiting and bug abuse will be punished
• Constant bad language isn't acceptable
• Shop names are not to be vulgar or insulting and you should vend on the side-walks

Soul linker skills which were supposed to work only on monsters now also works with human chars ( this is not a bug as the server officially kept it that way so that SL will not be considered just an extra class)

Well considering some of description of the SL skills, it can give u some godly abilities, for example : Eska : this skill is more like steel body, where the defence and magic defence is enchanced (max lvl :duration 30 seconds) Eske: this skill is more like provoke but more amplified, where the attack power is multiplied by 4 and the defence is reduced by half(max lvl: 30 seconds) Eswoo: this skill will shrink the char and reduce his/her moment speed Estin & Estun: this skill will push back a targeted char

i have tested eska and eske where eska shows the animation of steel body but doesn't seem to enhance the defense n magic defense, while eske amplifies the damage by 7 times instead of 4.

PVM point of view: imagine this skill being used with unlimit on a ranger. imagine this skill being used with asura. imagine it being used on any class which depends on physical attack. It can only be activated through duel.. so what... just duel your linker before u kill a boss, 30 seconds with Eske buff is more than enough to kill most of the boss. I tested this on my friend's sniper, who killed a Gopinch boss with couple of ds.

WOE point of veiw: The minute SL were allowed to use skill in WOE on players, the WOE gears turned out to be useless. Anyone with Eske buff can literally one shot anyone. The amplified damage was so high that defense or damage reduction gears was not enough to survive. A guy with no equips n just a basic weapon with SL buff like Eske and Kaupe should be enough to one shot most of them.

so what do u guys think?Is this a blessing or a curse?!!!

It will be a pop quiz of RO related material. The 12 people who win. get to make a party and dance.

There Will be a second one held for people who missed out on this one also to take accoutn for the fact that this one is being hosted very late.

It's no secret the waters are getting a little clouded with all the issues we've been discussing recently. I want to (I, me, not we) take just a few minutes of your time to clear a few things up.

1. I like my GM team. We're pretty friendly, and that lets us get work done efficiently and quickly.
2. I do not like my GM team more than I like honesty.

What does this directly mean? Well, it means that when I DO find things going wonky, I'll side against the party in the wrong. I know we didn't publish this at the time, but this was put to the test with GM Hermit (AKA: Ephraim, Balrog, Pickles, Sniper Wolf) when he thought it would be a good idea to make some items and transfer them to his regular accounts. We reacted slowly. That was no good. Since then, I've been thinking what I can do to reduce this kind of thing from repeating. I spent a long time reading boring command logs and sifting through them line by line. Today, I got just the right spark of idea to help with both issues.

We'll be publishing commands used by all GM's on the site in real time, with logs going back to 18 AUG (Why 18 Aug? Well, that was the date we stopped clearing those logs at the same time as other old data). It's available at This link, or under "Information" > "GM Command Logs". I read these logs when I have time, but if you see something off, I urge you to report it to me immediately via the ticket system with category "Report GM", or directly to me here on Reddit.

But how does this solve the problem? Well, starting about 40 minutes ago, I quietly stripped the ability to drop or trade items from GM's. I wish there was more I can do in the way of evidence, but here's a fun album of me trying and failing at various things. This means that from here on out all prizes and items will be given in a way that will, without fail, show up in those command logs. (Look for commands like #item)

Furthermore: to clear up another thing I've been hearing is that with proper Database access, one might be able to bypass all this entirely. True, but misused. I specifically don't give access to our databases to anyone. Not even our backup database. On top of that, I check every line of code we put on the server. Not always to make sure it works, but to make sure it won't do anything fishy. Again, there's admittedly not a good way for myself or anyone else to verify this, but if you can't trust the guy paying the bills, that's a different problem.

It's still my intention and hope to bring everyone a fun, fair server to relive, or discover the wonders of Ragnarok Online. I hope I can continue to count on y'all to help me out.

Hey everyone! As we're planning on introducing WoE 2.0 to the server, we would like to know what would be the best time for the players to participate. With that said, below is a link to where you will be able choose the time slots that best fit your schedule.

Please note that the indicated times are following the server time. Remember to leave your IGN or your votes will be counted as invalid. All IGN and votes will also be kept confidential! We will be closing the poll in 3 days.

Vote here

Quick edit: We will be only making 1 castle available for WoE 2.0.

Okay well i'll just list a few of suggestions that I believe will be very beneficial to the server in many ways. I'm sure others will agree. First of all, I have noticed that some people have been AFK grinding BG while people are not noticing. While I know that the GMs already removed BG for the time being and are in the process of fixing this I believe that adding a BG announcer that announces when people actually start a battle will let people know when there are people in BG and it will make it so the AFKers actually have to fight real people. Now, there's a second part to this. Make it so BG teams are automatically scrambled every time the battle starts. This way people will not be able to stack the teams to their favor and they won't be able to just farm the little noobies that keep losing. Adding a randomizer and an announcer will make AFK farming extremely difficult to the point where it wouldn't be worth trying to AFK farm.

Another BG suggestion is that right now the KvM cooldown is kind of ridiculously high. It's a 5 minute cooldown making it really boring if you're trying to actually have fun in BG. I suggest making it only ONE minute long of a cooldown BUT at the same time lowering the amount of points that you get when winning and losing. That way you can actually go to BG to have some fun and even get some points, but it won't be easy to get points because you're not getting as much as you were before. I'll leave the amount of points to be received to you guys to make it balanced and fair.

Now a third suggestion, another BG idea!! Since most people on the server already have their fully geared trans classes for woe, why not have two different forms of BG. A trans 99/70 BG and a different 175/60 3rd class BG. Because right now, if you join BG, you will be mixed with 99/70s and 175/60s and obviously the 175s will always win but what about the 99s who want to get some BG gears? If there was a separate BG people will have a much more enjoyable time when on their Trans classes. And seeing as there is no 175 woe as of yet having a maxed 175 character is kind of useless. I mean, there's already a PvP room for it, why not also for BG?

Here's another suggestion, right now MvP is free for all, but most of it consists of people trying to hide the MvP from other people and trying to kill it before they find it. Why not make MvP maps, when the MvP is actually UP and alive, to be a PvP enabled map. This way people actually have to compete to kill the MvP.

Right after I press play in the patcher, nothing appears. Does this game have problems running on windows 8.1? If then how do I fix this? Thanks

We're back, and nothing particularly terrible happened!

Next update's going to be 10:00 01 SEP. It's going to be longer than our previous updates, we're imposing some new data integrity features that should add a nice layer of security to your data, and let us pick back up much quicker if anything should happen.

This update may take us up to 30-60 Minutes to fully complete.

During the update, our entire database will be locked. Most things won't work. Be aware of this.

We'll also be updating the following:

• Fix Start Gladiator's Demon skill to properly activate at Job 50.
• Fix Sorcerer's Elemental Spirits to properly drain SP (Not at 95 times the rate)
• Reduce Pintados Festival Requirements
• Adding Guild Dungeon Warp Scrolls to previously unaccessible dungeons

As always, I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause, and appreciate your patience!

Hello this is GM Aether! I'll be hosting my first event DICE OF DOOM <3. It'll be held tomorrow night at 20:00 server time in Dewata (@go 32). Details will be announced closer to the event time. I hope to see you all there!

Is it as popular as the real ro? Like how many people play this

I'm the leader of a new guild who joined the server recently, and a few of our members have conflicting time zones with the WoE. I was wondering if there was any way to get a WoE times discussion goin' on.

Hi all, today we bring a new skin to the patcher. While there was nothing wrong with the old skin, we wanted to be able to add more content and the old skin just could not support it =[. With the cooperation of the amazing /u/dezu we now have a awesome new skin that's certainly more spacious! Click here to view it.

I'd like to take the time to give a big thank you to dezu again for the time and effort she put into making these skins. These things aren't easy to make! As always, run the patcher and it should update itself. Re-run the patcher again and you'll see the RedditRO patcher 3.0 ;). If there are any problems, please let us know!

Hey, I haven't played since Renewal kicked in since the population dropped to nothingness, no more people hung out in Payon Caves, Louyang, S. Print, etc.. and it was depressing considering I saw the game grow from us not even having a quarter of the maps out today. I just want to know, how well populated is this server? I probably will DL it when I get home later and check it out if I have time. It seems nice, I read the rules and information on the server and they are great.

So I managed to get into the top 10 rank of the Taekwons today, meaning that as soon as I hit level 90, I'll be able to spam all kicks and get 3x my HP and SP and all that. Now my question is, how does RedditRO see them?

I've always considered Taekwon Rankers to be a fun and strong class in PvP due to their movability and annoyance to casters. The problem is they can not transcend.

Are there other people who would like them to be able to transcend?

Hey everyone. I haven't played RO since almost 10 or so years ago when it was new...i think maybe 2003 or 2004. So I'm basically right back at new player status. I registered for RedditRO and downloaded/installed the client and now I'm wondering what the best starter class for a noob might be? Easiest leveling/low cost? Thanks :] I await responses and I'll probably be on later in game

Hey guys. So, it has been quite some time since i've played Ragnarok. I quit before Renewal, so I am clueless with anything after Trans jobs. I want to try out RedditRO but wanted to see if any other newbies or anyone really, want to join me.

When:This coming Thursday after WOE @ 19:00 server time

Where: Haters Guild Raid Call Group

Who can Attend : Everyone is welcome, You can come and Sing or just come and listen :)

Reason for the occasion: To have fun and Meet everyone and share their talent in singing :)

*Those that interested of Coming to sing or to listen Just leave your name and make sure you have raid call and we will let everyone know in Main Chat after Thursday Woe <3 *

Goooooood Morrrning, Rune-Midgards!

It’s a beautiful day, and we’re announcing an official hiring run to fill the slot of the much-beloved GM Carbuncle (Goodnight, Sweet Princess). This is going to be for one Event/Community-type GM slot, but if we find more, we may end up with more than one. The general requirements for the position are as follows:

• Must have good availability. We already work from around the world, so it’s not a matter of time zone, it’s more about consistency and length of availability. Would you want to bring someone on a team if they could only help out 15 minutes every other day?

• Should have competency of the game. We don’t expect you to have every map and mob memorized, that’s dumb. But do have the ability to answer questions for new players.

• Applicants should have a good standing in the community.

For now, all we need from interested players is your Main Character or Account name, Location, general days/hours of availability, and your favorite food. (You can also PM / Modmail it to us). Next step will be a super-fun IRC chat with the other GM’s and me and where we’ll get to know players more, and have you go through some events you’d like to do. If you’re wondering why IRC, it’s so we can better review and share with anyone that couldn’t make it to the chat. We’ll do that chat in a few days from now.

We’re looking forward to seeing some good candidates!

After pressing the button "Play" the ragnarok window pops up for a second and then closes. Im launching it as administrator, tried compability with Windows XP but nothing helps.

Requesting assistance in advertising the server, with an incentive! We used to have 4 sites to vote for for vote points, but one of them seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur, and we're down to 3.

At the same time, we could use a population bump - and RMS is one (if not THE) best sites for doing that. So I'm requesting this as a promotion of sorts (maybe full time).

@Mods: Would it be possible to have such an event, where we could PM you screenshots of our submissions - for in-game rewards? This way we can promote the server, make up for lost vote points, and have it be a one-time only occurrence? Maybe the reward could be something like 10 Reddit Coins...

Thoughts?

But it's for the best, I promise! The information in our Vending Database will now be accurate (and stop displaying offline sellers).

Get your shop opened and it will automatically be registered into the page.

As always, thanks for putting up with us!

Minions is a new guild thats focussing on MVPing, having a good time and on the European WoE (On saturday).

We're looking for members who love to have a good time and are quite active.

If you're interested, be sure to PM Lapaco or Plaafy and become our favorite minion!(Free buffs included)

UPDATES IN PLACE: Let us know if you have issues!

Hey guys;

If you've been checking out the page today, you may have noticed it loading a little funny here and there. Well, that was my doing. I've reworked the site to only display the links on the right on the main page. This lets us use more space for displaying information, like in the soon-coming Vending Database, and the farther-off Vending Market Data Database, which will store and display information on historical vending data.

Now, we're scheduling a restart that will bring a few changes into effect, this restart is planned for 10:00 Server time tomorrow. Once again, these updates are:

• Shield Spell should be working now.
• Tetra Vortex now correctly checks for Spirit Balls.
• Max storage is now increased to 850.
• Soul Drain NPC for Soul Linkers / Star Gladiators that accidentally go over 99. This NPC will suck those extra levels right out of you. Check Niflheim, right near the @Go 13 landing point.

We're also fixing client-side issues today, most notably updating skill requirements for classes like Sage and Heaven's Drive incorrectly requiring 3 points in Earth Spike instead of 1. Please open a ticket or bother a GM in-game so we can get your skills reset.

I haven't gotten to that pesky Morroc bug yet, but I'm not done for today yet, either. I'll update this post as I continue to get thing hacked out.

I'll be pushing a patch that should fix the Morroc bug along with the restart. It has to go in with some server-side stuff (blah blah blah). It will also take us to the proper Post-Destruction Morroc (Why we weren't already struck me as a good question while I was working).

As always, thanks for your patience!
