Fresh Start

[Kyomaru]

I would join But GM's would have to implement more stuff like dual client, higher rates, etc. I spent 8+ years farming stuff here and I don't want to spend another 10 farming all over again.

But doing a parallel server is usually a bad idea as it would divide what little population we have left. A complete reboot of the server would be more ideal.

However I think GM's are better off just trying to save the server by implementing new content and "ease of play" features like dual clienting, permanent higher rates, etc. to attract and retain new and old players. That coupled with an aggressive advertising campaign on RMS would revive this server.

I am not sure if changing anything would, in fact, attract more people. You know, we loved heRO server as it was. And we miss what it was. The rates, the challenge, the events, the personality of the server with single client only, promoting parties and encouraging people to play together... etc.

Changing these basic characteristics... I don't know, but I feel it wouldn't be heRO then.
And as doing a total wipe wouldn't be very attractive to the staff, I think. I think the soul of the original true heRO server should still live.
But you are right about splitting the small community that still lives. It would be something to consider, if ever this idea is getting considered xD

Anyway, a heRO reborn like fresh server is the best thing I would think whenever I think of RO again. The joys of starting a new RO adventure, along with the freshness and uniqueness that only heRO is capable to deliver. 10/10 feels.
