Everade

This has already been invented and is working on our current test server.

 

However this is globaly, (every npc on the whole server)

which means the vending lanes are affected as well.

 

you need to be at least 5 cells away from a npc to create a pub.

We also hope that with the new update the crash issues are going to be fixed.
The whole client is completly new, tons of fixes and updates.

 

There will be a lot "small" issues fixed on this update.

We're currently focusing everything on our new GatheringRO, as it would not make any sense to work on the current server anymore. The whole client + emulator is completly different, so we wouldn't be able to apply most changes to the new emulator or client anymore.

So all updates and fixes we were working on within the past months, went right into the test server, rather than implementing things on the current server.

 

Please don't think we ignore your matters!

 

As stated before:
With my latest tests, the dual login check has been fixed and is working as intended on our Test Server!

I'm never going to develope a RO2 server.

updated

 

Please note that we want to see a real application.

We want to know who we're hiring for our support team.

 

We will ignore boring "i want to be a moderator" applications. 

 

Thank you

Game Tester
Are you the one we seek?

We are looking for experienced gRO players.
Please do not apply if you just want to try the new server, we really require detailed reports from experienced players!

We require active and mature Testers only.


 
Basic Information:

You will be forced to download the test client (about 2.1GB file size).

You shall not share the full client with anyone. They won't have a tester account anyways.

You will recieve one tester account, there's no way for you to register another one, until it's stucked (you would have to contact me)
You won't have many restrictions, you will be able to create items, change job, get all skills and so forth.

You may be testing the same things over and over again (everytime we release another update for it)

You will connect to a different database, which will be pruned after the testing phase. None of your progress will be saved.

 
Criterias:

• You must be able to work as a team with the other Game Testers.
• You will have to test skill/class balance and report everything within our forums
• You will have to give us detailed reports- about bugs and how to reproduce them, balancing issues and other suggestions on improving gameplay. Detailed Reports are KEY
• Behave mature.
• You must be very active.
• You must be able to at least read and write english.
• You must be experienced in PvP / WoE / 3rdClasses / Skill Balance / RO itself / gRO
• You must be patient, testing can be boring 

 
Survey:

Why do you think you're a good tester?
How long do you play Ragnarok Online?
How long do you play Gathering Ragnarok Online?

Are you experienced with 3rdClasses?

Do you have experience with rAthena/eAthena or similiar emulators?

Do you have experience with RE Clients?

 
We will not be accepting anyone who uses translators to write a particular language, as this doesn't really help us if we don't understand your reports.

Since this suggestion became pretty popular, i'm gonna share some information with you guys.
I was following it since the first day and i had to agree with a few stated points.

 

With the current development of rAthena, i was always keeping in mind to improve several features.

WoE is old, yes it's badass old.
But it's still beloved, even if there were no changes at all unless the try from gravity to create woe2.0.
 

We have improved WoE back in the years, with detailed statistics, the castle rotation and so forth.
And yes, i've to admit that the castle drop "improvements" from our old developer suck.

I'm currently focusing to get our WoE experience to the "next level".
We came up with several interesting ideas, which will make it into our game.
So stay tuned, read my blog and stay patient for the rAthena merge.


 

Kagerou and Oborou are already working on my test server.
I haven't tested them really as of yet, but it seems like their skills are already complete and working.
However probably only "beta" wise.

I'm currently testing a new cloud system for our website.

 

It would be great to hear some feedback about our website experience right now.

Has our website faster loading speeds for you right now?
Are there any features broken?

 

Are your friends being blocked from our website?
 

 

Please share some feedback with us
And tell us where you live!

 

• Added hundreds of missing monster pictures to the database ( most of them are missing a database entry, but will be released later )
• Added hundreds of missing item icons to the database
• Fixed the middle part of the website showing the old background when logged in
• Big security enhancements on the code part of the website
• Website code cleanup
• Another forum update has been installed
• Wiki software has been updated

 

Vote 4 Points Information

Within the past weeks, we were forced to ban several accounts due cheating on the vote 4 points system.

So please keep in mind:

Do NOT try to cheat the system.
This includes voting from multiple accounts, using proxy servers or avoiding the cooldown in any way.
This means that you are only allowed to vote one time per person, even if you have different internet connections available.
If you fraud these, you will be caught and all your accounts will be permanently banned.

There is no reason to vote on multiple accounts.
Please be also aware that constantly voting without entering the captchas or just a part of it, does not count as a real vote and is considered cheating.

Thank you

Sry guys, it happens sometimes that newer gms are having issues with the command function.
The jail command can be pretty tricky, so rather than jailing in minutes, it goes for months.
 
I've teached them now, so it shouldn't happen again ^^

Beastboy = Active Developer

xMiland = Active Developer *new*

Holly Enix = about to become active as Dev again

 

Kenzie = Active Support/Event GM (currently no internet though)

Alexaa = Active Support/Event GM

Bex = Active Support/Event GM *new*

Tunes = Active Support/Event GM *new*

 

We and I am aware about the inactiveness of some of the "active" GMs.

They usually inform me about it.

There will be more events soon, but i don't think that we need more GMs right now.
 

 

 

These GM's are not counted as active Support/Event GM's

Mangos = Currently inactive

Holly Enix = Great developer and GM oldie

Lipton = Co-Founder   (he's just a few times online per year)

Silmeria = A great GM oldie (she asked for her position to stay open, so she can support us ones in a while) Why not?

 

GatheringRO wouldn't be what it is today without having/had these awesome guys:

Argatlahm

Holly Enix

Beastboy

Lipton

LightFighter

Sirius_White

 

All of them played a specific role in the development of GatheringRO, and deserve some respect.
That's why we give them special threatments when it comes to their GM Position if they still want to checkout gRO and support us ones in a while, even if it's just a tiny bit.

 

About Me:

I was actually very active within the past months.
However not as a shiny little ingame character to support our players, even if i do that sometimes.

I am working on the merge of GatheringRO to a new emulator, which includes tons of updates.

 

I am also active when it comes to our forums and health of the server.

I visit our forums daily, and help wherever i can, i am aware about the ingame situation because i want to stay informed. (including

Website/Forum development to increase security, add new features and more.

 

Banning the wannabe badass cheaters.

Checking what our GMs are doing.

Paying the bills ^^

And much much more...

 

 

 

However that sounds all good and fine, but believe me when i say:
I'm currently pushing the boundaries.

There's a big list of things to come to gRO and i'm doing my best to get gRO back to the top.

I've started a big advertisement campaign again, to get new players as you've might noticed on the top sites.

 

Our whole team is now focusing on the update, we've come up with several great new ideas.

External Developers have been hired which are currently also working on new content.

We will not release any more info about this right now.

 

But it's being worked on every corner of the server and website right now.

We will not release much more content for gRO right now, until the new big update is here.

But we still tried to give you some new stuff with the latest quest we've released.

And there are more to come.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the little info bonus round from the admin.

I'm really looking forward to the big update, and i hope you're going to enjoy it as much as we will!
 

 

 

If you're willing to support the server as well right now, then go ahead and vote for our server. Also write a nice review on ratemyserver. (all links can be found at the right bottom of our website)

Please note:
Votes are only really counted if you type in the CORRECT CAPTCHA.

So please take your time when voting, it's really not much we're asking for.

 

Thank you

We don't own these top sites.
And the captchas are entered on the top sites, not on gRO.

 

So no.

 

 

But i've contacted the top sites now, and asked them to implement a feature to actually validate correct votes.

One of them replied already, and they actually offer this feature, but only for premium members (monthly fee)

 

I'm currently investigating this further and willing to upgrade our vote system to the best possible way.

I hope there are others who have implemented a validation system.

A man from Umbala just arrived on the fields of Althea.
He came to search for an Althean adventurer who wishes to be a jungle man!
