BR?

I love this game.

I wish I were better at it.

>let's pretend to care about a game while avoiding anything that might resemble or lead to playing it
Yeah, we are on Sup Forums alright.

There's 0 point in playing on novaRO, it's a watered down half-baked and custom selected mishmash of kRO and iRO.
Why bother with novaRO when you could play iRO or kRO? Hell, you'd even have to grind less if you selected the officials over the private server.

But hey, if you can get the jRO guy to give me a subscription or give me a non-shit private server/reason to play on officials, I'll jump onboard in an instant.

I miss this shit so much.

I came to Sup Forums to laugh at newfags not cry and want a time machine

fuck you gookland, my payon field with the bridge area was fucking GOAT.

why would you want a shit economy?

Why would you want to shorten the best part of the game (partying) and lengthen the worst part of the game (farming 1/10000 drops)?

Because it's pointless to party when you can solo everything and getting ridiculous amounts of exp without losing any money from potions because the enemies drop way too much shit.

Never played RO, but I did try RO Rebirth and it was a total, unprofessional mess despite high-quality marketing. So what gives? Was it just a real piece of shit from the start but you're all just enamored with it?

>when 6 or more of these fuckers spawn in a circle

it's shit

It's a 2003 MMO you nignog, I wish it was remade properly with today's standards

Gravity is hilariously incompetent. Literally any private server is better than the official servers.

jRO is the only official server that is well-maintained at all.

Remember how Archers were so good because you could buy thousands of fire arrows and stay on that map forever killing those fuckers from afar to level up very fast? Good times

A lot of classes which were basically "spam this skill" were boring. Archer with Double Strafing was this.

Elemental arrows/ammo was a mistake

Best mmo memories of my life.

I remember a time in which a bunch of dudes started breaking summon brench on the north gates of Prontera. They invoked 3 bosses and that area become offlimits for almost a day.
Death was everywhere

Which server is the most active right now?
I got in Talon RO when that was still up, but now I want to go back.

Right, but I'm guessing in the released version that you could not drag the logo around on the title screen. Like if someone forgot to turn off WYSIWYG and pushed it live. It was a mess.

Would a new mmo with isometric point of view successful today?

>>lorewise it was the fault of the players that satan morroc got released
Does It has something to do with that time we took a job from the Rankerverk corp and ended up killing the ghost of thanatos?

TalonRO and NovaRO

Both are of questionable quality, but good for a nostalgia wank

Yes.

Maybe.

Pinoy?
WAHHH WAG PO


I'm so fucking glad I'm european and I never have to deal with such a concentrated amount of brazilians and pinoys ever again, russians are still arguably as bad.

Yes
Tree of Savior was an excellent MMO with all the things an old RO junky would want in a game.

People hate Tree of Savior because it went full-on pay to win weeks after leaving beta, not because of anything wrong with its perspective.

For a Knight:
Twohand Swords or Spears?

You never played RO.

And you're just pulling made up shit out your ass.

Knight - two hander
Lord Knight - Spears
Spiral Pierce is awesome

>Playing iRO back when it was still mostly populated by people from North America

Truly a great time. It's hard to enjoy private servers as much when nobody speaks English.

I still think iRO going F2P was a mistake.

Attached: 1502474254763.jpg (480x480, 46K)

Played it on and off from 2003 to 2012.

It used to be my favorite game of all time but it's pretty much unplayable nowadays.

I just can't stand RO's fucked up pathing and insane input delay. Times have changed and after playing games with amazing controls and no input lag RO just feels like a relic (and it is).

I'll keep hoping that one day someone remakes the game in a new engine.

Only with Cardo, you might get decent damage out of a Hunting Spear

>You're young

>That one memory you have from the very beginning
What is it, Sup Forums? What was the first good memory you have of this game, as a new player?

wizards could deal up to 30k damage per storm gust at level 70 naked, meanwhile melee classes were lucky to dish 200 damage per hit while being raped by monsters

Back in 2003:

My first and most memorable memory was going south of prontera for the first time. Watching that vast green field populated by hundreds and hundreds of people

I got invited into a party and we just went around killing porings. I remember the first time I leveled up, seeing that angel pop up over my character and the music that played. I was hooked instantly from that moment on. Spent thousands of hours on RO over the years. Very few games have been able to grab me like RO did.

>he didn't play Knight

>Playing a PvE class
What a joke.

Fuck off retard

I just can't begin to imagine what the ToS devs were thinking. You can have a big single hit attack that does 1200 damage or an attack that hits 10 times for 100 damage but it ads up to like 6000 because all your buffs, on-hit effects, and stats applied separately to each hit.

RO probably would have ruined my life if I let myself get more addicted to it than I already was.

Fortunately I had a bad breakup with my e-gf and it made me stop playing the game.

Logging into the actual world for the first time, after getting past the starting area. I appeared in the graveyard behind the cathedral in Prontera. It really felt like the beginning of a journey, like I was paying respects to a lost loved one before starting out on my own. Then the music washes over me.

I take it you never played a Hunter with a Dancer in the party. You can spam DS like there's no tomorrow.
Service for you is an amazing skill.

So, can we talk about (((who))) is the real problem in RO world?

The only thing ToS got from RO was the isometric view and the fast paced gameplay.

Pretty much everything else was anti-RO.

ToS has simplified and shitty character growth systems
RO has a very in-depth jobs sytem with many branching paths and a completely custom stat system with many different stats

The world in ToS is completely on-rails and small
The world in RO is massive and open-ended. There are many different places you could go at different levels. There was never any on-rails way to level a class.

ToS itemization is a mess. There are few items and items don't have that strong of an impact.
RO itemization is massive and very in-depth. There was never a clear best weapon or armor or consumable. There were a shit ton of items and you had to make use of a lot of them depending on the situation. Items in RO are just as important as your stats and job/skills

ToS art style is very "busy" and it's extremely hard to tell what the fuck is going on
RO has beautiful clean looking sprites. Even when you have a shit ton of things going on at once you can tell what's going on

ToS is insanely fucking easy. You can literally just mash attack button and get through most content in the game. The game was made for modern MMO players who hate anything resembling challenge.
RO has many layers of difficulty. Everything from making money to building your character to choosing the right gear for the situation and finally actual monster difficulty, it was all a dynamic level of challenge that kept you on your feet.

ToS skill effects are atrocious. Many copy/pasted effects and many effects are hard to differentiate
RO skill effects are cool looking and have great visual clarity meaning you can easily tell what skill someone is using.

What are you on? Ever been in a party in Odin or Thor? Good luck trying to even see what's going on with Wizards spamming Storm Gust/Lord of Vermillion

Guarantee that ToS isn't much better.

is it me or have we gotten a ton of RO nostalgia threads lately?

when will an indie team rip it off completely and make it great again, with a fresh community?

Good luck.

>wizards could deal up to 30k damage per storm gust at level 70 naked
That is on the implication that they could get the cast off before the monster was killed/monster killed them/they just got hit once.

bard was a mistake btw

>every situation in RO is a party in Odin/Thor with a bunch of wizards
not sure if dumb or just a high rate private server babby

>15 seconds cast time

What was Soul Strike Mage good for other than undead orcs? I have not played this for 10 years now

Glast Heim Graveyard.

This could have happened in any other mmorpg

GH

shooting spookies
otherwise nothing

In other MMO you would have been hitting that orc for 1 damage because he is too high level.

Is there a more outdated game? No matter how you tweak it, it will never be satisfying for modern player.

it wasn't you shithead

The only outdated things about RO are the graphics, pathing and input lag.

Attached: 1520703005363.gif (416x414, 1.63M)

that's the damage limit of RO btw

What "input lag"?

You posted this gif on a RO thread on Sup Forums a couple days ago, didnt you?

There is a delay whenever you try to move or perform an action.

Gamers are like women, they don't know what's good and they don't know what they want.

I guess people got used to predictive network code. RO sends a request to the server and waits for the response before doing anything in the client. Depending on the distance to the server, this can become very noticeable.
