Question from an old/ and possibly returning player!!
Greetings Ladies and Gents,
I used to play RO about 8 years ago but after playing APB for long time decided to check back the status of this game which I once loved to play. Thus, I have questions for you guys before I decide to re-invest time on this game. Originally I quit because of the mindless and ridiculous amounts of grinding needed. I am a harcore pvper. I've played warhammer online, Aion etc and I absolutely hate PvE. So Here are my questions: 1) Would I still need to mindlessly grind on mobs to level up so that I may get to pvp? How long would it take me to reach max level in order to start enjoying pvp with a group? 2) Is this game gear dependent? FOR EXAMPLE: At high rank, will someone with orange gear get beaten by someone in purple gear despite the guy in orange having better skill sets and tactics? 3)Is this game pay to win? I know there is a cash shop, but does it give you a significant advantage against others or is it all cosmetics? For example, does everyone get a basic mount? if not, I would see that as an unfair advantage as the people who payed real money for a mount have greater speed while the other have to walk. I.E. catching up to enemy or getting to location X before them etc 4) How is the community in game? the Clans? Leets vs Casual gamers? 5) If i decide to join, which server would I go to? which side? Any side that is the underdog? if so why? Also, which class? I seem to like barbarian so far but 8 years ago i used to play KNIGHT. If my knight is on a spanish or german server and I would like to bring him on a english server, would this be possible? ( I forgot where he was stationed) Thank you for taking time to read and answering! Looking forward to join a game and community that loves RVR and PVP !! See you all soon, MAYBE xoxox Myth. |

Yes. How long it takes is dependant on how much you grind. However, I can tell you that getting to 50 (which was the old cap when you were here) will take a week or two. Getting to 60 (the new cap) will take a couple months though. You can war easily at level 50 and do pretty well, but I wouldn't advise trying to pvp a lvl 60 because there stat differences between level 55+ gear and level 50 gear is pretty significant. 2) Is this game gear dependent? FOR EXAMPLE: At high rank, will someone with orange gear get beaten by someone in purple gear despite the guy in orange having better skill sets and tactics? This is the only MMO I have played, so I am not quite sure how that would work, but no, it isn't. Example: Yellow (special) gear with better stats than purple (epic) gear is better than purple (epic) gear. However, Special gear only gives one bonus, epic gear gives 3. So, in general, epic gear will probably be better. 3)Is this game pay to win? I know there is a cash shop, but does it give you a significant advantage against others or is it all cosmetics? For example, does everyone get a basic mount? if not, I would see that as an unfair advantage as the people who payed real money for a mount have greater speed while the other have to walk. I.E. catching up to enemy or getting to location X before them etc The game use to have mounts for golds, and they need to bring that back, but NGD put mounts only on the cash shop now. The cheapest one (which has the same speed as the others, the others just look better) costs ~5$, so, although not too much, they should still be able to be bought for gold, in my opinion. 4) How is the community in game? the Clans? Leets vs Casual gamers? Community is pretty good, it is the only thing that is keeping the majority of us here. Depends on what clan you join, but they can be fun. Not sure about the last one, but there are more casual gamers than "leet" ones, and a lot of players who suck, but think they are pro coughelvacough 5) If i decide to join, which server would I go to? which side? Any side that is the underdog? if so why? Also, which class? I seem to like barbarian so far but 8 years ago i used to play KNIGHT. If my knight is on a spanish or german server and I would like to bring him on a english server, would this be possible? ( I forgot where he was stationed) If you live in an English-speaking country, your server would be Haven. The underdog right now is Syrtis, iirc. Not sure how they became so underpopulated because they use to have double-quadrouple the amount of both the other realms combined, but karma I guess. Anyway, the underpopulated cycle goes around every year. Right now Alsius is OP. Next will probably be Ignis, then back to Syrtis, etc. So, I would say choose whichever realm you prefer. Im in ignis, so, if you want to show me your tits and/or have sex/an orgy, feel free to join there, and let me know who you are. Depends on your style of play. I know they use to allow RA (spanish) transfers to Horus, but that was a long time ago, and Haven is the new English server, so you will probably have to send in a support ticket about that. |

The person above me pretty much summed it up but I'll throw my 2 cents into the bucket anyway.

Others have pretty much answered the Q's. But, join the goats. We have quite a few Warju's joining the battles right now and I imagine most will respec to support once the hit upper 50's. Locks are in short supply and we can always use more Marksmen and, yes, Barbs.
Goats do have an 'uber' Clan (in their own mind) that do have some decent but selfish players. However, since most of them are in one egg-head basket it should be easy to find a good clan. Goats are the friendliest and most helpful of the Realms, even if we do split too much during invasions and often do other stupid things (Kind of like the Cincinnati Bengals). But there are a ton of younger players that are learning and we are getting better all the time, often taking castles and relics when outnumbered and occasionally sniping gems with small groups. Plus we have Dwarves! |

If u Come to ignis, ignore back door baby and u will have fun for sure.
i think joining syrtis atm can be fun too, they r underdog and (war) fights will be most callenging. Joining alsius can be a bit less of a challenge atm in wars, but if you want to hunt and have small fights, any realm is OK. Im afraid u will have to grind like a brainless robot to reach high lvls =/ but if u get bored, at almost any lvl from 40+ u can have a chance of killing a low hp grinder or try joining a war. And... only mount xim is really important. ofc there r some players who just spend alot and have good advantage, but it is still posible to fight them, unless there is some class disvatages, but thats a different topic. |

I am sure you can see that Realm Loyalists are loyal even to this board.
Let me tell you a story of a man that was looking to buy a house. The man had narrowed his search down to two houses, both in good neighborhoods. He decided to talk to the neighbors and ask them about the person who lived in the house previously. At the first house the neighbors were glad the person was moving out. "His kids were always running around making a racket," said one. "On Sundays he would hold a noisy party in his backyard after church," said another. "Every Saturday it was noise noise noise, always mowing the lawn, trimming his hedges and building things in his garage," said a third. At the second house the neighbors were all saddened by their friend moving. "His kids gave life to the neighborhood," one said, "always laughing and playing." Another said, "He always had a Saturday afternoon BBQ and if anyone stopped by he was happy to invite them to the feast." A third said, "he always kept up his yard and house so well and spent every weekend working on it." The next day the man returned to the Realtor and told him he had made his desicn. The Realtor asked him what it was that finally made up his mind and he responded, "The people in the second neighborhood were much nicer." |
