F2P Rose Evo VS Private Servers

[zebra]

This topic will be about F2P Rose Online Evolution (Official Server) VS Private Servers.

Where would you rather play? On the official server or on private server?


--- Please reply to this topic with your own opinion---

My opinion:
I think i would rather play on the Official R.O.S.E server because...

1. No lag
2. No resets
3. Stable servers
4. EVENTS

Even though private servers are faster leveling the official rose online is still better because even if you take more time leveling you can have MORe fun once you hit the high levels.

Please respond with your own opinion! : D

Interesting points.

You should differentiate between noob servers and well run ones though.
Take Arua.
I have never had lag or resets. They have more events and their server is WAY more stable than NA Rose where we have been getting at least one DC every couple of hours since it went FTP

Then there is my own pre-evo server.
Leveling speed is lower than NARose

Events... OK so they have me on that one. I don't quite have all the event codes down yet.

Stability.. About the same. Rarely get player DCs but occasionally the entire server will crash.

Personally I have never seen any lag on my own server but sometimes a few other players have reported minor occurrences of it.
NA Rose sometimes lags so bad for me that I die because i can't cast skills in time. It lags worse than almost any Pserver i ever played on.

I will never have resets or reborns or whatever because my leveling speed is about 1/10 that of NARose (which is now ridiculously fast and ruins the whole game)

I play on the official server for relaxation but mainly because there are a lot of players online to interact with.
I don't play Arua much because i dislike the irose system. Other than that though I would rate Arua WAY higher than NA. They have better servers and are much more professional.

Just my opinion :)

Official because p servers seem to be really unreliable and always seem to shut down unexpectedly

Thank you for your points Purpleyouko they will convince some to go for private servers. I agree on one thing, NA is better to play around with because they have Professional like events/ tournaments and the community is couple times larger then any private server which makes game play better, because you can have the best server out there, but if theres like 10 people online... its boring to play cuz theres no point lol, i prefer NA rite now, opinion may change though. and BlahHx2 your correct too, they do shut down like RUff-Rose its looking like its dieing out because the lack of GM support to players i remmeber it having 1k people on each realm but now... no one really cares about making anything good on it. AruaRose looks professional by looking at the website but i dont know if it has the same amount of population as NA, also private servers like arua can get to good and will be shut down by official company like OdinMS and Nexon story.. so if you would like to have stable account, stick with official :) Im making this point out of games like WoW, retail is tons more better then pservers
Others i wana hear your opinion too :)
NOTICE: Your opinions will help some new comers choose their way between NA or P servers!

Ive played naRose today and it seems to b stable, no lag, no d/c just slow leveling compared to pservers lol

[Purpleyouko]

I played for a couple of hours yesterday too. They seem to have sorted out most of their DC problems.

It is possible that the issues were just because of teh massive number of players that swarmed all over it on the first few days of FTP
They still didn't get past a status of 'busy' on any of their servers.
I remember the original open beta days when it was frequently listed as 'exceeded' and still didn't crash.
It all went downhill when they switched to evolution IMO. They never really recovered.

Haha yeh that or they expanded their server cap, mayb it was like 5k befoore and wud say exceeded and now its like 20k lol so thats why it doesnt say that now, its so slow leveling omfg lol, in ruff rose u can get to 50 in a day if u want prolly higher, but on evo u cant so much lol, and no haste buff from cleric cuz u gota b in a party : ( gay

It's good/bad that ROSE went F2P. It obviously shows they don't have enough players who are willing to play. But now, everyone can play. But I would still choose to play Private Servers for the fact the rates can be higher, "custom" servers. If your smart enough in development, then you can have custom items and stuff. But other than that, you can have your own events, etc.

Yeh true, and the main reason rose went f2p cuz it was to much $ monthly and only people with no lifes wud pay and play it lol... custom events and stufff yeh but wat u have on real rose is perm, a private server can go down any minute xD Basicly narose is better cuz it has the population and stuff and its stable etc, but a private server that is run on a "dedicated server" isnt so great compared to a server such as AruaRose i guess that ones run well and shows pro
