The Thing About Private Servers

[Aaronock]

Yah, I understand midrates and highrates being different, and of course we know why. But honestly I can say for many it is hard to start out on heRO from my experience of talking to people. If they are going it alone, they will probably get bored and leave, but this would probably apply to official servers too. In any MMO, I hate it when I can't meet friends on there myself. Thankfully guilds here on heRO overall are very good and very nice and not very hard to get into, so all players who access this server will at least find friends if they are truly interested.

Official servers have those people who call you "noob" over your character's stat/skill build, an insane amount of bots (And no GMs attempting to stop them), and a very cramped, unfriendly feel, all topped off by the lag.

I won't say private servers are "better", since they ARE illegal (The software is open source and but the sprites are not), but I'd rather play on them instead of an inhospitable official server.

You still have those here, but to a lesser degree.

Hell bloody calls everyone noob.

but the Pay to play thing is exactly the reason I'm playing here instead of the officials.


And Officials are probably not that hard if you have access to kafra rental items, seeing as how I've heard loads and loads of complaints about them.

But mine isn't as hateful as theirs!

My noob is to make people realize we are all equals in the eyes of god. We are all noobs!

Their noob is to make you feel like a lesser person. As if they are superior beings. And no, being an RO nerd doesn't make you a superior being <_> It means you have so much free time on your hands


Okanoooooooooob

All bow down to Kevnoob, the noob king ! (even noob god part time)

Between, the first thing i say most of the time when i log is : "hello bunch of noob" to the LW guild chat.

[teOx]

lol. indeed, if getting called a noob will make you cry, you have no place on iRO

either way i love both

ehaltar, (i think i still remembered how to spell that name correctly) is your sig down the bottom a quote from stargate's Ori race's book of origin thingy?

[Ling]

Yes because private servers have higher rates

Yes.

I think if Official RO were more friendlier than they were now, some of my opinion about the official servers would be different. But as far as the original question, I think that you learn more of the basics and you learn more shortcuts on Pservers than RO, but at the same time on official RO you learn more about competition and fending for yourself than on Pservers.

In my opinion I think that if you love competition between alot of people the official RO is where you should be. As far as my old school RO experience, I beta tested it, then tried the 2 week trial thing and ended up making a sin.
I was alone through most of that time not because there weren't people around to party with, just that most of them I ran into were either American assholes or people who I couldn't understand (I actually partied with more Br's and Koreans than americans)

And the thing with money, most private servers have "donation" options where you donate to get godly items, so both official and Private servers have that "if you don't have money your screwed" background.
