I haven't played in a decade. Hope that helps!
>people paid real money to play in god mode on private servers
They deserve it tbqh
As long as you are not playing on official you are already helping
>god mode
have you ever even played on any private server? it's usually harder than on official
It's harder because they're trying to con you into buying items. That's how these servers operated. You don't run a server for 15 years out of the goodness of your heart. They were running a for-profit business on someone else's IP. They deserved to be shut down.
>Gravity starts to care about private servers only like 15+ years too late
They got what they deserved after Renewal. Also modern RO is nothing like classic one.
>Youtubers dropping the game
>Twitch streamers getting banned during live streams
>TalonRO closed
>NovaRO taken to court
>emulator developers telling server owners to lie low
They will have to do a hell of a lot more of they want to crack down on pservers for real. They're only going after the big fish in the pond right now.
That is literally just a bunch of bullshit
The reason official is easier is because the balance there is a P2W mess, privates are harder because they don't follow the power creep model
>That is literally just a bunch of bullshit
So you're denying Talon was P2W? You're denying you could just buy up talon coins to buy literally any item in the game as long as your card kept swiping?
Come on. You're not being honest
just move to tree of saviors
Theyre still around and so is this game? Wow! I havent played since junior year of high school. Was on a private swrver called Ayumi i think it was? It was super fun and I was in this guild called Unholy. Just one guild and maybe like 20 of us.
Now there was this other guild called Hatred. These mfs were all jajajaja's. Not sure where tf they were playing from.
Point is that we destroyed them every fucking weekend in WoE. They had like 5 or 6 overflow guilds and we would fuck them up and it was great. Good times.
>only big fish
Asgard legends just shut down and it's a very custom server with modest amount of players
Not only that but you can easily see on the servers listing a lot of small servers suddenly delisted
Wouldn't surprise me if they went for some of the oldest servers like HeRo now
RO's stat fiddling for classes still unparalleled to this day, no point in going to ToS to replace it for RO.
they will release 4th classes soontm
I'm not denying pservers can be P2W, I'm just saying there's more to pservers than "lol bro just pay 100$ for god mode"
Also remind yourself that every single official servers is literally unironically "lol bro just pay 100$ for god mode"
>I'm just saying there's more to pservers than "lol bro just pay 100$ for god mode"
I get that original game mechanics and sense of community are there, but if it weren't for them running a commercial product, it would be a lot harder for gravity to shut these servers down. It's the fact that they're making bank that makes them targets. Like, they really thought they could sell someone else's IP and get away with it? Fuck around and find out, I guess
Because they've been doing it for 20 years and it's only a problem NOW?
Servers don't run on goodwill and kindness you know
i don't really like p servers, the progress doesn't seem worth it
How is that shit still alive?
Weird. Why the sudden action against pservers? They were alive for like 10+ years already.
how is this game still alive? What is the official server now?
>Ragnarok Online
>in 20goddamn22
Why the FUCK is anyone playing this old ass piece of shit when Tree of Savior exists?? It's literally RO but actually improved in every single aspect.
i guess some boomer at gravity saw their money running dry and decided it's the p servers fault that their shitty is failing
Your bet is as good as anyones. It was as sudden as it seems, people are panicking because the big servers are shutting down on going to contingency
>"the" official server
There are way too many, and this game is still alive because it is fun
Here's your (You) just get the fuck out of the thread
There are private servers running longer than official servers
RO has more soul that any modern game.
I remember I had a lot of fun indeed back in day, my question on the servers was because the official european server was shut down years ago and I don't know where people play now
I dislike ToS because the guides are all not up-to-date and the lategame is complete garbage.
Some pservers are actually bigger than officials.
Warp Portal was working on making RO Transcendance their main product but they closed that the other day. Their remaining server, the old Renewal one, has been reduced to gacha box collection simulator. 20 years of inflation, cash shop and merges from local and foreign servers have ruined it.
Private Servers are the way the game lives.
I find it hilarious that Tree of Savior, a game with so many fundamental problems that had stuff like a furry destroy the games economy by hacking money, outlived MapleStory 2
I would tell you novaro or limitro but they are both on contingency right now so who knows what will happen to them
I would tell you talonro but that one already got shut down and it was garbage anyway
The only servers left are some "Lukewarm" servers really
>a furry destroy the games economy by hacking money
qrd?
IPs aren't made out of goodwill and kindess you know?
I know he's being a bit of an asshole but he has a point, they're >>literally stealing someone elses shit and profiting over it. Not getting donations to afford server and maintenance, PROFITING.
Good, they were p2w shit filled with BRtards and corrupted moderation.
thank you guys I was thinking about ragnarok the other day and fantasizing about playing it again but I don't really have time for an mmorpg anymore and also I'm afraid playing it now would actually ruin the memory I have of it when I was a kid
Maybe if gravity didn't fuck up their own servers multiple times during the past decade there wouldn't be pservers profiting more than them.
What? Do they really, unironically, expect players to play on official if they somehow got rid of every single private server out there? Yeah right, these exist for a reason you know and people working on them are also spending their time for it and deserve their profit
SinX girls are the best
I mean they deserve it for taking """""donations"""""" for other people's work
Even Pristontale still has a private server that makes more money than the official stuff, Hell, even PLAYERS make money by selling services to other people that pay irl monies for it.
Koreans made such grindy and addictive mmorpgs, I dislike the fact that so many people moved to mobile games, they made really good pc games.
They're cracking down on corrupt cash shop whore servers? Sounds based.
Literally made for hydra rape
origins and nova were the only servers I played
are they really getting taken down wtf?
>is blatantly OP
>nobody says anything
meanwhile champions get criticized
TalonRO was quite literally pay for godmode.
They are "hiding away" to a certain degree to avoid legal complications, taking their own website down and the discord, I did hear the novaro got sued by gravity but got no further confirmation on that.
TalonRo officially shut down and there is no going back though
I'm not even bothering myself to read what you wrote.
Gravity can be as shitty as they want, it's THEIR product whether you shit, piss or scream.
Do you disagree with their management? Can you buy out their IP? No? Then shut the fuck up.
It's their game dude, if you're so upset over people stealing shit getting punished please send me your address so I can pay you a visit.
>it's THEIR product
>It's their game dude
>stealing shit
>It's literally RO but actually improved in every single aspect.
This was never true. It looks a bit like you would imagine a successor to RO could look like but there's nothing about the game that's actually like RO. Certainly it hasn't improved over classic RO.
Sounds like they're losing money. Who the fuck goes after private servers decades later
kys trannypedo no one wants to play your dead gacha simulator
do people still play these old sprite based mmo anymore? I thought it was all about the 3d coom simulators like B&S, Vindictus and Lost Ark
Ragnarok online has literal naked sprites in-game officially
Which I'm not going to post by the way, have a Randgris instead
>he thinks coomers can't coom to sprites
clearly you've never used Mugen
>It's literally RO
It's not. Why do retards think art style and gameplay are synonymous?
Gravity has the right to shut down the private servers. Players also have the right to not play on any official servers. The people profiting off of private servers are sketchy as fuck.
I will never forgive them for making the Mabinogi remake on mobile.
Pristontale was the only cutesy korean mmo I could ever tolerate only because it reminded me of a PS1 JRPG
Why do people spend actual money on private servers? They could die the very next day
People are very very stupid.
Private servers literally lasted longer than official servers, you just have to be very careful about which ones you spend money on
I think the private server one has more players than the original ever had, too bad they inadvertently break the game, if a private server was a lookalike of the original stuff it would be ok, but droprates, spawns, items and even new stuff is added into it that has nothing to do with the original game.
I don't remember the exact injection method, but basically some furry was able to execute code that allowed him to generate infinite amounts of money
He then used this money to buy up a lot of items that had regularly set prices, and jacked them up to absurd amounts to fuck the economy up completely for said items
iirc this exploit was also shared among friends, so he was not the only one in the know
They had been doing this for quite some time unchecked

Original thread no longer exists, but I've screenshotted it; you might be able to cache the forum and read more about it
The eventual outcome was the game had to be closed down for a week+, as we also found out IMC did not at the time have ANY Database backups, so a rollback was out of the question; so employees had to go through all accounts and check money values and flag those that had suspiciously large amounts and edit/remove the money
