RO has changed to much to ever return to. i loved this game for a very long time. i started playing in alpha when prontera was the only town. i have played for many years since then. it was my "go to" game when there was nothing else to play i played it atleast serveral months out of every year. this game has changed far to much now ever since cash shop was introduced. the game used to focus on trading, partying with others and pvp in war of emperium.
now its just a cash shop hungry mmo f2p piece of crap like the rest of them. buy your pots with real life cash and pot your way through everything. finding items and trading with others is no longer fun when theres usually the cash shop equivilant or more often BETTER then what you can get. the old RO is dead. this is now a generic pay 2 win peice of crap now. i would NEVER recommend this game to anyone anymore. trust me, i used to recommend this game a lot before.

RO alpha was my first mmo, b4 it I had played some shooter and othe co-op games but OR was the one that opened my eyes to this genre. Soit will alway have a part in my heart.

One of those great lines from The Secret World
my first ever MMO, and the MMO that made my life lifeless but still complete
ugh what am i saying..
So What Now?
The point is that non-cash shoppers are second class citizens. I don't see why they didn't just keep a subscription server open, with no influence from the cash shop, and have the cash shop server as an alternate choice for those who wanted it.
Is it really pay to win? I don't mind the level bonus or prenium accounts, but is it pay to win like paying for a specific item, paying to be stronger even if your character is at level 99?

What made me stay away from official servers was the armies of bots on all maps and gravity wouldn't do anything about it.

I agree official RO has changed, and changed to much in my opinion
BUT,
There are some good private servers out there that stick to the old school version and try to give the players that same feeling they had 10-14 years ago
so i don't think RO is dead, I think you just need to find the right server for you...
especially for the old school players out there which usually seeks the experience they had all those years ago.

Played it for a long time, maybe almost 15 years, until they merged the servers with the french version. Lost interest because my guild got scattered and had a lot of stuff going on in real life that became much more interesting than playing video games. Wanted to revisit it this year and sadly heard that they did another server merge, but they didn't allow any character transfer. So all my characters and equipment I invested so much time in grinding is just suddendly gone without any compensation, that really sucks. Gravity should've found a better solution, kinda pissed tbh that they screw their fanbase over like this.
