Where did you go user?

Don't do this please. It was hard enough to let go the first few times, I can't emotionally invest myself anymore. Please let me go

Ironically the game is not P2W at all. The preorder stuff meant literally nothing. It has all the horrible fucking inconveniences a P2W game entails, like daily dungeon limits for starters, but no way to circumvent them. You can buy a subscription token with ingame currency in like a week.

user there's a new classic server with thousands of people playing!

But they're all Filipino!

Still doesn't help that the game feels so incredibly railroaded. Sucks all the fun out of the style of the game. I totally get why people would hack and bot all over the place. Anything to get to the fun part if it even exists.

On a similar note. Did anyone else play this?

Who Nova here?

I'm a programmer with a lot of similarly skilled friends and I've really been considering trying to rope together a team for a RO spiritual successor. The only things holding me back are time, money, and the idea that nostalgia might be blinding me. How would gamers of this generation handle a true spiritual successor to RO? Could a modern version of such a classic even hold up or capture the magic that held the original together? Was it lightning in a bottle or has everyone just been too afraid to try it again?

All I know is that RO is past it's golden years and there's no getting them back with the same game. It's too old, it's too dated, and everyone who enjoys it has already played it too death. I feel the only way we'll get the feeling we got with RO back is with a completely new world in a completely new game, which touches on all the points that everyone both loved and despised about RO in it's heyday, and to do it all without seeming like it's blatantly copying the RO we loved with a new coat of paint.

RO will forever be one my favorite games
