Goodbye Animaro, Hello ggro!

Well it had to happen eventually. With a population of ~30 people and with me on 5 clients, it wasn't something I haven't foreseen. My whole guild quit along with me. The server had a good potential but didn't get off really well. I guess absence of GMs and lot of bugs led to its death.

On the good side, I have found a very promising server: GGRO. Its being luanched my the creator of CLG clan in League of Legends. The beta test almost had 100 players on the first day. There are few major woe guilds joining the server too. Oh the best part is my friends from Tribulation and ED are joining me. Its gonna be like some high-school reunion. Adding Animaro's friends to that, its roughly ~50 clients already.

I do have some concerns about the server though. The server was planned to bring back the Nostalgic RO experience with low-rates and pre-trans. However the suggestions made by people are completely way off the point. People are asking for the an insta level woe at the start of the server. They are also demanding to replace access quests and get a dungeon warper. Some people have already gone as far as suggesting a non-breaking refiner, equips dealer and food selling NPC, on the excuse of inviting Mid and High rate players. I hope the Admins think clearly before they accept all those suggestions.

On the note of main char, I haven't decided anything yet. I definitely don't want to make a wizard again. I am pretty sure Poom is gonna be maining wiz and he is way more proficient at it. I had a chat with the legendary Vildor and he wants to make an offensive char, maybe an Assassin. I want to go for a perma swordy but I am sure my friends wont appreciate it. I might probably roll out as a Blacksmith and play casually.

Apart from waiting for the launch date, there is nothing much I can do right now. I just hope it launches on or before 8th December. Here are the link to the server.

Bugs on AnimaRO

Well....I really want to get more people on this server and don't want the current guilds to quit because few people have been abusing these bugs.

• Guild Castles
  
  Every new server I have played on never switches woe off. You can just capture the castles by creating your guild and getting "Approval" skill. I have notified this bug to my guildies on 8th but nobody cared until the Angel guild captured a castle on ~10th. So we sent out Zerick and captured 1 agit from each town. The result, access to every guild dungeon and treasure chests everyday. Its unfortunate that my guild is way too casual or we would have 3-4 elemental swords from the SE dungeon. However, the treasure chests are a different story.
  
  Me in the Geffen GD. Kinda nice for TU priests.
  
  
  
  
  
  Well, if you think all those cards and Muramasa are being farmed from monsters.....
  
  
  
• Investigate/Occult Impact
  
  I am not sure what the story behind this bug is, but I think it is following renewal damage. I am pretty sure no monk can 1-shot(or do 11k) a sleeper with NPC gears.
  
  
  
  
  
• Baby Powah!!
  
  Yea, I kinda expected this bug with the 1/1 job changer. I think we expolited this way back when I was with Tribulation. So basically, you level a novice to 90+ or 86 with repeatables. Talk to job changer and choose a baby class. You get changed to 1/1 baby novice but you get to keep all the stat points. The result: OP baby.
  
  
  

There are few more exploits which can bypass Gepard shield and gives you a fair bit of advantage. I will post a detailed guide on how to bypass different protection and how to inject dll in harmony. As for now, I hope my guildies don't hate me for posting these bugs. I just want more people on this server.

On the side note, I have been suggested a potential low-rate server by HotShotGG. I think they are expecting 400+ on the day of opening. I will keep an eye on it. Until then....happy exploiting.

Casual Mode

A bit of bad news I guess. I am not able to play too much of RO since my guild is too casual and the max server's population is ~40-50 people. Moreover the max people during my timezone is 4-5.

Anyways we did a few parties in TT. Here are some of the screenies.

• Abbey.
  
  
  
  
  
• Didn't work too well with 1 wiz, 1 hunter and sin as tank.
  
  
  
  
  
• Some low-tier mvps.
  
  
  
  
  
• Solo Izlude Dungeon.
  
  
  
   

Most of the parties were dull and weren't organized well. Apart from the nice RC chat, I do have some complains about my guild.

• Not a single party since a week.
• Most of the guildmates quit.
• There are 7 people left in our guild i.e. Jermy(leader/HP), Chris(Devo), Ricky(Monk), Susy(Hunter), Ryan(Sage), Zerick(SinX) and me(wiz and my alts).
• The only people who are active are Jermy, Chris, Susy and Zerick.
• Ryan is hardly active and is just playing very casually.
• Ricky is way too lazy and has been sitting in pron begging for leech(even with the sleeper bug) for the past 8 days.
• There is hardly any organization in parties.
• No motivation to do any MVP or farm any equips.

Well, I am not sure if the population will pick up any time soon. Hence, I am just gonna go casual mode until some change appears. I really wish I find a good server where I can play seriously. I am really missing Tribulation and Evil Druids /sigh.

First Trans on the Server

OK, this is gonna me shocking. A wizard being the first trans on the server is just....disappointing I guess. It looks like there is absolutely no competetion on the server. As for the details, I just went 70-99 on killing Les. The time took for the later levels are as follows:

96->97: 3hrs
97->98: 4hrs
98->99: 6hrs

Number of sharp leaves in my storage: ~19000

Here is the screenshot of me hitting 99

A bit of Farm

The past 2 days have been quite fun. I also had to reschedule my sleep and wake up early to party with my guild. The guild is quite fun but unfortunately I am missing a mic to chat in RC. I have ordererd Plantronice: Gamecom-780 and am praying it arrives before the weekend.

I made an alt bragi and a linker for esma. Since all the members are asleep during my timezone, I have switched to farming gears for myself and the guild. My current targets are: Creamy, AOA, Smokie and a Thara. Well here are the results:

• New Bard for bragi.
  
  
  
• Yay a creamy. Took me 2 days to farm it though.
  
  
  
• Farming for an AOA
  
  
  
• Why....just why :(
  
  
  
  
  
• And it dropped
  
  
  
  
  
• OK...I have never been this lucky. Yes, just 127 kills.
  
  
  
• Here are few more parties we tried in the past few days.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   

Overall it has been a nice experience. I just wish my headset arrives soon.

Back Again, AnimaRO - Day 1

After a very long break I am back to playing RO on AnimaRO. The good part about it is the new kickass guild I have found. The server is a 10x low-rate with pk above 80. Its the only decent server I could find through RMS.

Well, the opening night was a blast. I really enjoyed playing RO after the break and a good guild RC was a pleasant experience. This is how my day progressed....

• Yes, a new Coco is born on AnimaRO.
  
  
  

•  Custom novice grounds they said....it will be fun they said...
  
  
  
  
  
• Yay new friends.
  
  
  
• Well ok....after all the hype and excitement, turns out we had to wait for almost 2 hours cause a 14 yr old girl couldn't install the game./sigh
  
  
  
  
  
• Enter Susie (sugar spice and everything nice)
  
  
  
  
   
• We could enter all the dungeons through the warper. Moscovia here we come!
  
  
  
  
  
   
• After around 3 hrs, we got few people to job 40. Why 3 hrs? Cause it was just me(mage), Susie(archer) and Chris(swordie) leeching 8 afk people./pif
  
  
  
  
   
•  Time to go farm for that emp!!!!Rawr
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Well it was an awesome day and  our RC channel was truly entertaining. I am pretty sure I will have an great time with my guild here. I cant wait for Day 2.
