From what I remember on RO ...there were oddities.
Kiddish characters who were rep'd by kiddish people.
Who in turn looked a little odd to say the least and when confronted with a question they can't answer they simply gave me an emoticon reply. >_>
Well, it seems to me you just got onto a crap server... The server I used to be on was very similar to that *animaRO*
Currently, however, I am using rebirthRO. This server is incredibly efficient. It is totally up to date and never has down time. As you mentioned the people there. I don't know how you got all those people there
Alot of the peopel on rebirthRO are older than I am. They take levelling very seriously as well as maturely.
As for my general opinion on this game. Just incase anyone is looking for an in depth review...I think this game is fantastic, the graphics are nicely detailed and of all the 1500+ monsters there are 5 different sprites. These are attacking, being hit, standing still, moving and finally dying. This means of course alot of data. Which brings me to my first negative point. The intial download, if you have a slow connection, can take quite some time. It is most advisable to leave the download on over night. Once you initially download it there are quite alot of different chars to choose from. You start out as a novice and have ten levels to get used to the game and decide which job you want.
Then you chose your first job these are as following :-
Swordsman - Strong melee
Archer - Strong long range
Thief - Speed
Mage - Spell caster
Gunslinger - Gun user
Ninja - Spell caster mostly
Taekwon - Very difficult to use but rather strong. All rounder
Acolyte - Healers
Merchant - Mostly used to sell things in shops but also reasonable melee strength
You pick these classes then once your job level gets to 40 *you have two levels, one of them base which is how strong you are and job which you need to use to get skills* you pick a sub job for your character. Once these new jobbed chars reach level 99/50 they "trans" this means they are reborn as novices but stronger. You char becomes a high whatever it was before then a trans class of the second job. Each class has one trans job for the second job. The lines are like this.
Swordsman -> Knight -> Lord Knight
Swordsman -> Crusader -> Paladin
Archer -> Hunter -> Sniper
Archer -> Bard[or a dancer for females] -> Minstrel (also known as a clown)[a gypsy for females]
Thief -> Rogue -> Stalker
Thief -> Assasin -> Assasin Cross
Mage -> Wizard -> High Wizard
Mage -> Sage -> Scholar
Acolyte -> Monk -> Champion (immensely strong)
Acolyte -> Priest -> High Priest
Merchant -> Blacksmith ->Whitesmith (mastersmith on some servers
Merchant -> Alchemist -> Creators (Bio alchemist on some servers)
This system works very well because all of the servers have a top level that, when reached, is very respectable to have. There is always a constant choice of different skills and stat builds to use. So two characters are very rarely the same.
Hair and Clothing colour are customisable as well as hair style. This gives your character individuality as well as your own personal touch. There are over 77 styles:P Battling is very good. It is simple yet difficult. Skills are of course a necessity and most enemies even at high level will be impossible to defeat. You need to find friends to accompany you, but different classes level differently. In a party you can share exp or have it as each take. You need to make a party with different classes so they all help each other. You can also join guilds and have alot of fun in WoE fighting other chars for the right to a castle. This is really good as it pits yourself against many different enemies some of which are ridiculously strong. (level 255 sinX are almost unbeatable) anyway im gonna get going.
TL;DR RO f*****g rules go download it right now!
