I havent been following the forums much. Just come by to check my Pms ,since I get email alerts for those. How is the server doing ? Which guilds apart from Divinity form the other formidable War guilds ? I was on the other day and other than some guy monologue-ing the main chat - there wasnt much to be seen.

[~Axle~]

Not great. The Trans Woe scene is dying out quite a bit, with only maybe two or three guilds in play? Non-trans is doing okay with  two or three major guilds, and a few smaller ones competing. There've also been a few newer players recently that I've met, which is always a good thing.

A few people left after QQ'ing about their SQIs, but they'll probably be back once discussions are done. The server population is steady at around 180-200 people on at most times I'm online, which really isn't great. The GM event is interesting, but quite a few people don't seem to be participating. All in all, not great.

Lmao it's pretty obvious the server isnt doing great. Trans woe is dead. Nontrans has 2-3 major guilds woeing. A major part of the above is I think hope changed to nt. also pvp is dead gm tried to modify it a tab and then no one like it bit but like 5 non regular pvp goers and the gm (just Fidelis) agreed to the change. Announcements and events are unheard of. Just the fw event and a few mini event nothing big since Christmas. It's so bad couple weeks ago I saw fw and it was mostly npc vs npc. That's what the server has been like when you were gone.

• Trans WoE is agonizing if not dead.
• NT WoE has some life.
• PvP is dead.
• The economy is shit (although I have noticed some prices go down).
• The faction thing is meh. People participate, but ehh...
• People hardly participate in GM events. I don't know which GM was trying to get a party going to kill Satan, and he/she probably spend close to like an hour getting people, and I think they had to cancel because there were only like 3 players participating.
• There's hardly GM interaction in-game >:
• The population is really low. At times, there's less than 200 people on. The population hovers around 180 and 260.

Trans WoE barely has any life left, NT WoE is lively, lowest population drop I've seen was 168 about 4-6 days ago, economy still the same 40m mvp cards . Faction wars only thing keeping me alive and prison socializing.

Pretty much what everyone said. This server is dieing, and honestly can't be saved in its current state unless the members and staff start to work together; and in order for that to happen, they cant be afraid of change/experimenting (and learn to separate the bullshit from the facts). Then maybe aRO can be brought back on its feet, just maybe.

'Cept the second they change anything, people start to kick and scream.

It's like daycare.

And this is why the GM's have to avoid those people, because it's a fact (not an excuse), that you can't please 100% of the community with change. In order for change to happen, they must take action regardless.

Changes to existing systems will always create problems in any organization or game however has there been any new content ? I remember there were the GM recruitments going on - So I am guessing there is no adept coder or is it an adept coder who is primarily lacking motivation .

I guess RO as a whole is fading out eh ? To make the server run they would probably have to change the original game.
I tried iRO for a few months - The lag was annoying, even if the bots were tolerable. The Classic server is cool and stuff but somehow it no longer feels the same as RO did in Beta. Also, I guess the concept of leaving machines on for vending annoys me .

Except the main People complaining are the majority of the server hence why population is dropping just blame the doc who don't listen working carelessly.

The fact is GM never gave it try through Test server or something like that so ppl will generally have problem with that also There are certain thing which are not known by ppl like Phi said PPL who don't go pvp either play there regularly are giving false idea of making it worse and only 1 Gm supporting it  And the resulls are seen it's DEAD still ppl are not allowed to talk or discuss thing  They are force to adapt change so what u think the future of this server?  Time is the main thing Which matters lot both in RL and this Server It's taking much time to change certain aspect of In game thing i m not saying that GM are not doing anything the thing is they taking much time to upgrade certain things which lack according to me for this server.

[~Axle~]

Sarita, that's a complete double standard.

You want changes to occur often and quickly, yet you want the ability to give input before they're put into place. Not only that, but you want them to test everything out extensively before they change it.

1)Collecting and sorting through player input take a whole crapload of time until you find something actually feasible to use.

2)Test servers take;
a)Time to set up
b)Time to select proper testers
c)An investment of time to test said changes

Fortunately the PvP change is making it extremely easy for me to sell my Cake and Ygg's. You have to mellow a bit and find the good in a situation. Since discussions have been open for a while now on both the topics of PVP, and SQI junk, it's clear the GM team has heard that people are unsatisfied, and are trying to rectify that.

Anyways Razer, you should get back into the Trans-Woe scene someday.
