Ragnarok Frontier

[MKR]

Server: Ragnarok Frontier
Rates: 6x base and job for first and second jobs; 4x/4x for advanced, and 4x drop for both.

Commands:
@autoloot
@autotrade (coming soon)

Stability
RF runs the same stuff the officials run, which brings all the pluses and minuses. It's among the most stable servers I've played. Peter has added some @ commands to Aegis, but none of the more problematic ones.

Events
Random screenshot events, events for most holidays, and they're always open to suggestions. The Halloween event is always a blast.

Community
Don't make a donkey of yourself, and you'll fit in. :)

WoE
Needs more people, but it's unmatched when they have the players. Zergfests aren't really done here, so strategy counts for something.

Economy
Decent. Most deals are done through the forums and 1:1 trades.

Any change since the cenozoic era last time you played? I might try it out.
I mean, I'm not up to go to the site to know something changed or someone drama-raged the whole thing, like most of other servers that I seem to go is having.

RF had a big boom early on, languished due to some bad decisions, and has recently started a comeback. For all the things they've messed up on, you can't say they don't learn from their mistakes.

I didn't get it much, it means they screw a lot or they screw the game rarely but they learn from it to not do it again?
Also, could you tell me the population at peak hours, specially at WoE, seems like a good server to WoE and PvP. Does it have donations? How good does GM handle their Legits getting killed, if they do have legits? How stable is the Economy, and by that, I mean that it stays the same after the GM put in or change some item utility? How hard is to get up to the same level of the elite? And uh, Lag at WoE Times? What is the latest update, Ep. 13? Does it have the new Maiden Quest? How much Godly items are already at normal players hands, and MvP Cards? Is there anything on the server that make it less/more balanced than others? Anything like VIP that sells EDPs? Is there any custom modification with the WoE 2.0, like, is it fully working? What you mean by the community being Insular? Is the alliances in the WoE being like full of elitists? or is it more newbie friendly?

Sorry for the, uh... flurry of questions , I'm not really up to going to the site and search all those answers, please enlighten me, I would love to try it out.

They used to be awful at pretty much everything until the average player count dropped to the 20s (from a high near 800 at WoE), and realized that maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

Also, could you tell me the population at peak hours, specially at WoE, seems like a good server to WoE and PvP.

100-300. Most PvP happens just outside the portal at south prontera.

Does it have donations?

They have a cash shop similar to the one on iRO.

How good does GM handle their Legits getting killed, if they do have legits?

The community gets into an uproar over the slightest perceived or real abuse due to the server's past, and I haven't seen any uproar lately.

How stable is the Economy, and by that, I mean that it stays the same after the GM put in or change some item utility?

A quick glance at the market tells me that prices haven't changed much since 2004, so I would say it's pretty stable.

How hard is to get up to the same level of the elite?

Most of the elite got there when 95-99 (non-transcended) was something like 1 billion experience (they really didn't want to put transcended in). They have the iRO XP quests, so it's about as hard as it is on iRO.

And uh, Lag at WoE Times?

Not that I've seen.

What is the latest update, Ep. 13?

I think it's at 12.

Does it have the new Maiden Quest?

I don't know what that is. :(

How much Godly items are already at normal players hands, and MvP Cards?

Most MVP cards are sitting on long-banned accounts, and I don't think I've ever seen someone with one of the god items other than the sun god helm.

Is there anything on the server that make it less/more balanced than others? Anything like VIP that sells EDPs? Is there any custom modification with the WoE 2.0, like, is it fully working? What you mean by the community being Insular? Is the alliances in the WoE being like full of elitists? or is it more newbie friendly?

It's pretty much iRO with resets that cost 500k+. WoE on RF goes through a cycle of a big alliance forming to dominate, and another forming to take that alliance down. There's always an alliance of newer players coming to beat down the older players.

I don't know what that is.

Valkyrie Wish Maiden, Vision of Okolnir quest. Thanks for the info, I will check it. Seems my kind of server, with the exception of Donation Shop. ¬¬;

Most of the stuff is time-limited, and is untradable. :P

Makes a little better :V

This is a really interesting place, for a low rate. It's no heRO or anything but it really does show potential. It's sad that its still under the shadow of whatever happened in the past, I wasn't playing the server during that time, but it's still kind of looming over the players and sometimes people will reference "those times" or whatever. It's probably not that original, the custom drop rates, but they make things interesting, even though it's still kind of painful to level.

[Chimichanga]

Ew. I played rf for about 2-3 years mainly because of its community and the friendliness. Potential? Not really since it's been on for 5 years. The GMs established a form of totalitarianism (especially peter) and they morph it in a form where you can't criticize the gms or the game. This server also experienced major downtimes in the past and to my knowledge, one of the least upgraded servers. For two years, geffen dungeon had lots of poison spores and immaterial sword absorbed sp (it doesn't anymore but this effect lasted a long time). There was even a time when people farmed yggs from bullets. There is also lots of mvp cards in the server (my friend tealeyes had like 5+ and my friend was in gold's guild who had like 10+). There was a lack of events back when i was there. O and raydric archers dropped rudra's bow ( practically half of the hunters and rogues had one each)

My antagonism has merit because I did used to play this server but maybe it has changed. Those are just my experiences.

rf..rf...rf...the problems never were about the stability or the lag or whatever but just from GM's own greed. call me w/e you want GMs can try to defend their point of view but all of the people who are like ''zomg 100/100 server" well yeah either they all went with the bugs and glitches OR just used their lunch money for some l33t gears. Yeah there are some cool events, there was also a good bastarding community like we would just pk each other all night long ohhh that was good time. i'm one old veteran like a lot of people around joined in '04. i do remember you MKR. and i remember how legit yunie, revolt, simply seductive, simply destructive, rebirth, adikt, elements were soooo legit. yeah that lil draconian had the trick with peter. this is what's actually the saddest. this is one of the closest server there is to the real ro if it wasn't for GMs selling things. the community is good and GMs are there and yeah it really rocks. but greed is one bad thing on this server. good old south prontera. or that glast heim map where people kept luring that mvp in the cross shaped middle....ahhh yeah it was nice. today tho. AHAHAHAH. i even have some nice screenshots that arent even modified. off a nice convo from honor and glory members talking about ''damn i should buy a couple of levels for my sage'' no need to say how many MVP's n suchs have been bought. anyone remember rokusho and his foxtrot guild? where he could take all 5 castles by himself? ahah yeah i give a 90/100 for the server but i low it to 40/100 for the mess they done with it.

[Chexmix]

Eh it was okay when I was there.

[MKR]

Peter hacked @autoloot into Aegis. Clearly he is some sort of robot.

And I guess they have an auction house with no lower limits as a stand-in for @at now.
