Ragnarok Online

*Listed by servers and my experience on them. Most recent server on top.



Legacy RO: Server is actually quite nice so far. Fairy large and GM team is quite nice. 10/10/10 rates, big server 1000+ on at a time. I was part of Tea Shop again which started off pretty slow and weak on the server. We've finally gained momentum and now one of the largest and strongest guilds on the server! Yay! My character is Nolia, a full support High Priest which I ended up ditching after a while because it got SOOOO boring. I now use Nolia as a socializing character and play on other useful classes for WOE> I use Pallypoopie to gospel and Sifu to trap. I married dingz on this server and the GM threw a custom weding for us because of a bug I had encountered.





Der RO: Everything was alright up until the end. 5/5/3 rates, no autoloot. I was part of Tea Shop again who pretty much ruled and kicked some ass. My character was Nolia, a stripper/bow rogue. One of the most useful classes I've played! E-drama, more e-drama. GMs mistakenly banned a non-botter but tried to "make the evidence fit" when it logically couldn't. I can understand the need for GMs to support each other's decisions, but when you are wrong, just correct the mistake and get on with it. Otherwise you end up looking like an idiot. I married Fook You and then TeaShop decided to leave the server because of this injustice. Server closed 15 minutes later.





Hope RO: So far, so good. The server is pretty stable, minus the occasional lag. There doesn't seem to be many bots or foul players since it's a smaller community. Around 100 on line at all times. 5/5/5 rates, the only special NPCs are the reset (at high costs) and the free stylist. Again on this server, I'm trying to take it easy and just sail. =) All my friends have migrated here and we are part of the Red Rose Society. My character was Nolia, a dancer.





CrossWorld 2 RO: My second server. I decided not to take RO as seriously as I did before. I made a Whitesmith named Miss Nolia. I was in the Tea Shop guild with all my real life friends and WOE attendence wasn't mandatory. I was asked to be a bot hunting GM on this server but only found a few a day. The server wasn't fantastic but it certainly wasn't all that bad. I got bored of it and moved on, however. Rates were 8/8/7 and there were loads of special NPCs that made everything too easy.





EuphRO: My first server. My main characters were Rajah (assassin), Bunnyee (alchemist) and Wingheart (priestess). Was married to a knight named Cutter. Rates were 3/3/2 on Alpha and 1/1/1 on Eden and there were absolutely no special NPCs. Most features had to be GM approved including custom GM weddings and namechanges.

This server brought me the most drama. I was a Gamemaster on this server. I definitely worked hard getting rid of bots and taking care of all the player reports. Being a public relations GM was challenging and time consuming but it was definitely fun.

It was amusing to see what people had to say after I left the server. =) All the rumors/stories and the sudden name calling. I stand innocent of what I had been accused of, but I also refused to let some Cranky EQ-challanged man over the internet ruin are real life relationship with my brother. He made it his personal mission to kick me off the team after I confronted him about the way he speaks to the other GMs like he is compensating for a lost-father-complex. His blatant condescending attitude and conniving ways, however, ultimately succeeded and I was forced to leave the server.

EuphRO went down soon after and when it was re-established again, that same individual made his own server and was caught hacking EuphRO out of spite and jealousy. His true colors came into light and everyone finally saw him for the vicious idiot he was. In a way, I am happy this whole thing has allowed me to open my eyes to see who were truly friends/supporters and who was just in it because I had the letters "GM" in my name.

After EuphRO came back, I made a new character but grew tired of it and left RO altogether for about 3 months.

There's a lot of stuff I had saved from my EuphRO days. Here is a quick log I found while undercover trying to catch botters and what they had to say about me. =) I"m quite proud of it:

ONE - "Wewt, EuphRO botters, go us. Just share random stories, tips, whatever on EuphRO. ... GM Arethusa and Shinn go around to all the popular bot-spots like Tharas or Byalan personally to ask "Hi, are you a botter? 2*2=?" ... Nolia on the other hand, just listens to reports and examines. My first Crusader that I made [Third bot] was reported at Ant Hell, so I just didnt use him for a couple days, and the night I did, he got banned by her. T___T ...

Now, having names like lill||iill is nice, but you get a autoban from Nolia for names like that. ...

Euph and Zell really don't care about botters... I think the biggest problem is Nolia right now... She's banned 4/5 of my dead bots, and I made another 10. ... Once I happened to be on a char of mine with like |lt3- gen3ra| as its name, and I -KNEW- I was gonna get banned as soon as I saw 'Hidden player 2452134234 ... and then after 10 minutes Nolia pops up 'Hi bot. Respond.' AND I WAS THERE. So I type c whatt? I already got banned. Haha. The thing is the openkore thing kept on showing 'Hidden player 34234 at 234234234' I bet if I DC'ed on that I'd get banned anyways, oh well."

TWO - "Yeah, some guy ratted me out on there and Nolia got me."

THREE - "...our id will be ban will be ban when the idiot nolia is in there) ! We sured bot when nolia is sleeping!"

FOUR - "Some bad guy said to Nolia that i am a bot, so she check, by a month, every day she check, ... but GM-Nolia, sad that she got me on forums."

FIVE -" Well..Nolia is the big problem here. she has banned me like 7 bots. so avoid her... she uses HIDDEN PLAYER so when your open kore unhidden her..you are banned. Sorry to say but...if she targets you..you are dead. one day she asked me: Response please... i was AFK so...banned. the last one she banned me after spwaning some HIDDEN mobs in front of me.. and UNHIDDEN..then banned.

This technique is as follow: She goes HIDDEN PLAYER, then Spawn near you some Mobs than only BOTS can see/hit, they hit you and then they die... so if you hit or just see them..BANNED. My stupid bot even picked up the loot LOL xD I thought my bot was pretty intelligent but this technique is really hard to avoid o_O or just impossible . What do you think? Other GM's? No, just Nolia is a Pain in the ass She has the power when banning, other GMs can't change any measure taken by Nolia. So an Unban is dreaming. Ive talked a lot of players asking: Are you a bot? but with Nolia you just cant talk X_x a real challenge"

SIX - "She has a fcking BOT BOOK. so if you are reported or something she is gonna check you a lot of times for a long time. SO DONT BOT for about a month or even more XD It could sound ridiculous but it IS true, I got reported and i thought that my report was forgotten so I botted after 2 weeks and she caught me red handed. So theres is a black list, be careful."

Overall my experience here was good until the end where people started becoming backstabbing and ruthless. O_o I'm here to set the record straight. The final chatlog with the other GMs are accurate and I have not "confessed" (as people seemed to assume). I love my brother, Kozuka, he is a good kid. Yes he snuck onto and abused my GM powers to level himself from 98 - 99. However, he leveled from 1 - 98 legitimately. Other claims otherwise lead me to believe that logs were changed to incriminate both of us further. I know me, I know my brother, but I also know that the highest level of GM power, can mess with logs. And, to be honest, I'd rather lose my online "rep" than the integrity of family in real life. It's a fun game, but it's just a game.
