RO

RO (or Ragnarok Online) is an MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game) that I've been playing for quite some time now, starting way back in middle-school. It has many many private servers worldwide, a few of which I play on. The few I play on are Burn-RO, Dreamer-RO, and Neverending-RO . I'll be giving a short review on all of them. Firstly I should explain some terms. "WoE" is the abbreviation of War of Emperium, this is battle between guilds to control a castle. "PvP" is player vs player, this includes dueling and PvP-Rooms. "GM" stands for Game Master (or Game Moderator) these are the managers/rule keepers/event hosts of the server.

BurnRO Max Levels = 255/150, max stats are 250

Community: The community of Burn is generally very friendly, with a few bad eggs mixed in. The community consists of mostly English speakers, along with Pinoy (Philipines), Hispanohablante (Spanish-speaking), and Deutscher (German) players.

Pvp: There are PvP rooms available, including Non-Custom Items room. My advice would be to stay away from the PvP rooms until you're a confident player, being max level is a must.

GMs: The GMs on the server are friendly and active, I am one Spanish support GM.

WoE: WoE should be reserved for the confident and elite players. It is moderated in a balanced fashion and I have no complaints.

Recommendation: This is a very exciting and friendly server, 5/5 stars.

Dreamer RO Max Level = 500/120 Max stat = 500

Community: The community is quiet and semi-cold natured. Don't go looking for help in this server, as you're likely to be ignored.

PvP: Intense and unrelenting.

GMs: The GMs here are fairly inactive, events are automated and bland.

WoE: Similar to PvP, the WoE of this server is unrelenting and can be over very quickly.

Recommendation: This server is a bit more strategic and should be reserved for hardcore Ragnarok fans. 3/5 stars.

Neverending RO- Max levels 1000/300 Max Stats 1000

Community: This is a low population super high-rate server, the community is quiet and conserved.

PvP: Being a super high-rate server, the PvP of this server is a bit of a joke.

GMs: Inactive and ignorant at best.

WoE: Like PvP, the war of Emperium here is a bit of a joke. All players have max stats, similar equipment and hive-minded strategies.

Recommendation: I've been treating this server very much like a novelty server. As far as I can note, you should only join this server to mess around and watch the Damage amounts fly. 1/5 stars.
