Well... I am not a huge fan of starting out naked and broke. However, have you considered how it must feel to be the purveyor of a mature, robust and thriving RO server... and then have to start all over again from a basic distribution code base? Wow! Talk about a daunting task! All We have to do is play the game. The admins have to BUILD the damned thing... and listen to all the usual griping and all that implies -- and try to maintain a smile and good humor for the sake of promoting a positive atmosphere. I bet any one of them would trade with you. For my part... I had one of every class maxed out (except Rebellion 'cause I had left by then). I had more than a decade of spiffy donate gears, forged items, and 3 guild storage lockers over-flowing with forge/brew items and specialty gears... all gone. Meh! So what? We are all equal. Imagine getting a party together to beat the 1st three floors of Payon dungeon! LOL! And remember that Low Rate servers do not attract troublemakers. We will all build a brand new community. You, yourself, will become a founding member of something that will live past your playing days...

I sent you a personal email but I will repeat part of it here... I played RRO for near 15 years. It started out better than incredible. For me, it ended when GMs colluded to corrupt practices with a popular guild and blew off all complaints. So I walked. Left 8 accounts and 20K in donates to the 1st player I came across. It comes as no surprise... The drama and backstabbing. Since you are going to make a go of a new and improved RO and not just lay on your ass and cry... Then I will return and do all I can to support you. I have faith in you and I remember RRO when you were at the helm. I look forward to it again. I think you will find a good many absent friends will return. TB. [aka: Samadhi, Hipshot, Tunshupo, Tei Lung and all my other guises]

Thank you for translation! Please send me in private message your account name, also AndRO is not yet tested by me personally, will ask someone to try it out.

...I think we know you are going to be terrific. Something I learned playing RO for about 19 years (my daughter got me into it when she was ~13) is that RO is a Community. It's not just about the game and grinding and bragging rights. Easily half the time spent is in interacting with the players and the GMs. I made friends in Romania, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Canada and places I cannot spell the name of... The thing Ancyker forgot - or maybe never learned in the 1st place - is it's not about money and it is certainly not about Power. RO is about Friends and building a strong community. I remember RRO at its beginning. You made it great. It will be a long road but we are in it for the long haul my friend... all of us.
