KAF RO Server

Been thinking of starting up a RO Server but as everyone knows it no fun inless you have people playing it. So was woundering if there there be any user base from KAF that would want to play on a Private Server for KAF members only.

If you need more info about what RO is you can google it or click here.

Use to play this when it was in Open Beta and for awhile when it went P2P its not a bad game low PC Req so just about anyone should be able to play it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit March 27th, 2008

Little How To so you can join us and play.

Start off with these files here.

kRO Client (50megs x25 Files)
SAK kRO Client (50megs x 21 Files)
Updated kafRO.rar 3-31-08. (Max Chars uped to 9) and Client.xml has been fixed.
kafRO + Translation Files (10Megs x 1 File)

Once you installed kRO install SAK RO. After you get them both installed unzip the kafRO useing WinRar to a folder and then move it to your kRO folder (Defult should be c:/program files/gravity/RO) Lease it was for me.. There is 1 file and 1 folder in the kafRO.rar file. Move them both to the RO dir it will ask if you want to over right sakexe.exe say yes.

Once done should be done. Start up the game useing sakexe.exe that you find in the RO folder.

On the login screen type in your username you would like to have. followed by _F or _M for male or female chars. Then what ever password you want. Once that is done the next time you log in just use the username that you chose without the _F or _M.

Example: First Time Login
login = ChosenOne_M
pass = tempnoway

Would make my Chars Male. Then next time I login you would just use.

Example: Returning Vist
login =ChosenOne
pass = tempnoway

Any questions plz just post them here I guess for now.. Maybe if this takes off I can talk SK into giveing us our own threed or something.

Yeah I was in the open beta too, but I don't think I'll be playing. I have to have a cause to play MMO's and I'm already half commited to one as it is. That and I don't like MMO's a whole lot.

i WOULD play......but I have to pay to play

HELL YEAH MAKE A RO SERVER
and ill be a Spriter/Event/Police GM
ill be very active
and
incase yah nid help
ill help in programming it ^-^ XD
K THX XD

Well just an idea for now the private server will be free so don't have to worry about paying or nothing.

So far I have gotten my hands on the server software just trying to find a reliable place to get the correct client files and stuff that are needed to be able to play.

So far only place i been able to find the files is thro RapidShare witch stucks badly lol. Once i do get the client files and stuff probley have to setup some kind of torrent or something for it so the users of Kaf can have a little easyer time of getting there hands on whats needed to play.

So need to figure out how to make the client file easy to install for the people that arnt comfterable editng files and stuff. And then how to serve up a file thats a little over 1 gig in size to every one so they can join.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Update: 7:11pm Central

Ok so instead of double posting sense no one has added another comment yet.. Heres an update.

Found a decent place that is hosting the two main Client Files and they have decent speed at lease to me getting avrage of 500k/sec download. How ever the Main Client is broken up into 25 50meg files. And the Other one is broken up into 21 50meg files.

Here are the links to the main two files that are needed. To get people started as i find the other req files that are needed I will post them as well.

You will need both of these to get started. These are the two big main files needed. Took me about 2 min per file to download these maybe little less so your looking at around 1hr 30min for all 46 files if you can get the same speed I was getting.

I suggest using FireFox with the addon DownThemAll! to get them. So you can just Q them all up and walk away or do other stuff.

kRO Client (50megs x25 Files)
SAK kRO Client (50megs x 21 Files)

------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 2:34 AM March 20th, 2008

Ok server is up but untested I can connect fine but I'm on the same network lol. So Who ever can get the two main clint files download and installed and the file I'm about to post installed will get to help me test out the server for other connections sense I cant get Tatter to help me becuse he is being Evil to me lately.

Here is the last file you should need to connect to the kafRO Server. Its only 10 mb and easy to install.

kafRO + Translation Files (10Megs x 1 File)

Once you installed kRO install SAK RO. After you get them both installed unzip the kafRO useing WinRar to a folder and then move it to your kRO folder (Defult should be c:/program files/gravity/RO) Lease it was for me.. There is 1 file and 1 folder in the kafRO.rar file. Move them both to the RO dir it will ask if you want to over right sakexe.exe say yes.

Once done should be done. Start up the game useing sakexe.exe that you find in the RO folder.

On the login screen type in your username you would like to have. followed by _F or _M for male or female chars. Then what ever password you want. Once that is done the next time you log in just use the username that you chose without the _F or _M.

Example:
login = ChosenOne_M
pass = tempnoway

Would make my Chars Male. Then next time I login you would just use.

login =ChosenOne
pass = tempnoway

Any questions plz just post them here I guess for now.. Maybe if this takes off I can talk SK into giveing us our own threed or something.

why not just upload it through megaupload?

If you need any help with eAthena NPC scripting feel free to contact me ^^ I've been a RO admin for over 3 years and haven't played it for quite a while

I'll be creating an account as soon as I get my hands on an updated client.

edit; just wondering what the rates would be, any idea on that yet?

edit2; for the people having trouble downloading both clients; you can play RO by using Sakray (you should be able to find a good rag_setup1213 somewhere with ease, don't forget to patch it!) only in combination with the RagLite files, contact me if you need those, I'll have to look them up.

Rates right now are just normal ones. Tho I might change them just haven't desided to what yet.

The Links i posted where good when I posted them the host was desent fast only down side was they where broken up into so many files..

They are the 1213 Client. If you just download the ones i posted and added the kafRO info from the rar file i posted you should be able to join right away.

Install this first.
kRO 1213 Client (50megs x 25 Files)
Install this second.
SAK 1213 (50megs x 21Files)
UnRar and copy to "c:/program files/Gravity/RO" long as you used defult install path.
kafRO Connect and Translation Files (9Megs x 1 File)

can't connect to server, I take it we have to use sakexe.exe to run?

Yes you have to use the sakexe.exe file that is in the kafRO.rar file. extract the contents of kafRO.rar to your install dir. (Defult install should be c:/program files/Gravity/RO/ unzip them there or some place else and move them to that folder..

-------------------------------------

Seams the server was down didn't realize it either power might of went out while I was sleeping. But should be back up and runing now.

May i ask if this is a PK server? and if it is make it a HR PK server as they are way more fun!

Not a PK server don't really know how to make it a PK server at this moment tho it has BG and stuff on it i beleave.

This is really interesting I'm a MMORPG fan so I will try this

Chosenone2...why not jus put it all into a folder/ZIP and upload it into a storage site

still can't connect - just me?

Well if I was do that it would take forever pretty much.. Its a little over 2gigs total for all files.. ruffly and i don't know any sites that allow that big of a file that is free and fast downloading. Tho I do have a decent upload it still take me a good bit to upload such a file..

Quoted^(ref) Jarin (on 23 March, 2008, 03:43 PM PDT) —

Are you able to see the kafRO server when you start up the game? If not make sure that the kafRO.rar you extracted is in the right place. If you do see it and you have it in the right place then goto "c:/Program Files/Gravity/RO/Data/" (Asumeing you used defult install path.) and look for a file called "sclientinfo.xml" and open it with notepad should look like this.




And then the line that says <address> to http://chobits.sytes.net or just copy and paste the code below into it and save and try agin.



If this don't work let me know and might have to just use my IP but don't want to give that out tell all other options have been tryed. Lol

I've been running RO servers for 3 years, I know what I'm doing

Might as well try to do a fresh install without patching...

edit; dumped your ip in the sclient.xml and now I can get past the account server (yay) but still not to the character server... Still working to find out what's causing it

edit2; firewall isn't blocking a thing, signals seem to get through, I don't know what's the problem anymore. Just wondering, is it eAthena you're running? And I'm the only one with this problem, am I? I blame my inet..

edit3; and just for your info; giving the url equals giving your ip and adding http:// will work fine for websites but won't have any effect on RO clients

edit4; tried clients back to the 2007_10_02 and none worked, is your characterserver properly up, linked and running?

Ok, I'm getting really... odd problems here, none you've ever seen.

Rescource code: Can’t find file bgi_temp.bmp

Can’t find file: sprite\shadow.act

Can’t find file: sprite\shadow.spr



I did everything as you said. Also is the install supposed to be in... unreadable characters?

yep, unless you have Korean language packs installed in your OS

And that's a really classic sprite error... which means you're missing resources.

first; use Ragnarok.exe to patch up
second; use Sakray.exe to patch up

they are finished when the three buttons at the bottom are all lit up and the text displays ???? ???? ???? - don't run both at the same time.

that should solve that problem... as for me, I can't even connect

Sakray.exe ... I don't see that one at all o.o

Edit 1: Found it.

Edit 2: Patchup_AD is freezing at 2005-07-12aRageexeAD.rgz, is it just a big file or is something wrong?

Don't do none of the patching if you do patching then the sakexe.exe that i included wont work most likely...

I did no patching on my client all i did was fresh install of both then copyed over the data folder and sakexe.exe to the RO folder and ran sakexe.exe and it started right up for me.

But like i said its on my own network. And so far no one else has gotten to work it seams don't think its my end all the sever windows are up and apear to be running normaly.

I will check tho.. I do see that a new account Jarin has been made.

I'll look into it might have a setting mixed up but don't think so.

I'm still downloading the files. Started yesterday. *Sigh*

Well, once I've got this done, I'll let you know how it works.

Just get the thing connected

Okay, either it's not allowing me to make an account, the server is down, or it doesn't like the name I'm choosing. Either way, I can't get past the login screen.

Whats it saying?

Be sure to remember that the first time you login you have to login with the name you want followed by _F or _M for female or male.

Also the User name has to be at lease 4 i think.

And if anyone one of you that has this all installed might want to give me a shout on yahoo or something that way we can try and get this figured out go for it that way don't have to wait for posts or nothing lol.

I could create an account after I put the IP instead of the URL in the sclient.xml, but I can't get any further.

And I'll ask again, what emulator are you using? eAthena or something else?

Dude, it's in Korean. How the hell am I supposed to know what it's saying?

I'm attempting to use KAFSpyder_M. But when I enter a password, it comes up with some weird Korean message, then returns me to the Login menu.

I'm going to be blunt...

ChosenOne, if you do run on eAthena, would you please zip/rar the conf folder from your server directory and mail it to me? I'll be able to tell whether it's set up properly in a flash.

Feel free to add me to MSN as well (use that same adress to mail me)

If this would make me play Ragnarok Online all over again (After spending 3 Wonderful Years with it) I'm game.

same here

*feels like hosting a server...* *needs a server pc first*

I had almost started one called SymphonyRO. I had most of it running, but doing a Server is harder then it looks.

I believe I still have my old Patches and Custom things for SRO somewhere.

I think I hosted 3 or 4 RO servers by now, about 20-25 gameservers in total. It really isn't that hard...

It is eAthena.

Ok seams to be working now becuse Spyder has joined and is in and playing just fine he said.

Please make the following changes to your
sclientinfo.xml if you haven't done so alrady.



Make sure yours looks like that and long as your useing the correct sakexe.exe you should be able to join and make an account with out any problems now. Sense someone has now done so.

don't know what you fixed, but it works (and my sclient looked like that from day one )

Hello kafRO!


wishlist

@who
@rates
25x25x15log rates

Think it was the stuff that was commented out. All well lease its working now..

Rates I'm still desideing on. As of right now there just normal. The server right now is max lvl 99 tho I know with some changes it can goto 255.

So tell i change it to 255 thinking of doing a rate of x5 or maybe x10 don't know yet.
I will think it over while I'm doing r/l stuff today.

if the max levels are changed I'm out (sorry)... ruins the entire game. Why bother making a build or hunting equipment if you can godmode your stats

And in my opinion 20~25 are nice rates. Both for players who start out - they will have to go to various stages of leveling - and for the players who already know the game, since they will be able to level up quite fast.

As for me, the latter is a good reason since I've seen the leveling already. I've grinded countless characters to 99 and to 9x again, it's the boring part of RO after all: leveling. Yet I am apposed to high rate servers.

For items, let it be about 80% of the experience rates and flag them to be logaritmic, means that high rate items are way less effected by the boost than rare drops. In other words, it prevents a poring from spoiling empty bottles, jellopies and apples on every kill.

I'll be looking forward to the rate changes, spending an 1.5 hour to become 1-1 class isn't much fun...

edit;
I also suggest you put up a control panel for account creation (and money transfer and such) but I will leave that completely up to you... Depends on how much time you're willing to put into this

20 - 25 seems a bit high, especially considering you're proposing we keep the level limit at 99. You'll shoot to max level in no time, and then where are you? Partying isn't exactly going to work well, considering there's only about a max of 5 of us interested at the moment, and we all have different schedules.

Considering that, the server is going to need to focus on individual power. 2 - 5 growth is fine to me, we'll see about the 99 limit.

My experience with 20-25 is that it will take a hunter (which would be the best soloable class) without prior equipment or help of others about 30 hours to reach lvl 99. With my current schedule that would be over 6 weeks of playing, not even to mention rebirthing and gathering equipment. Off course, people who have time on their hands and know the game will have a 9x rebirth in 1 week time, but I don't like to believe there are too much people that will play RO for 20 hours a day. Also, the 25 was considering new players trying out different classes.

About the maximum level, honestly, Gravity didn't come up with the stat point distribution system they have now because it just turned out that way. The 1200-and-something statpoints you receive make sure you have to balance your character build well and it actually makes the difference in characters. Giving more skillpoints to acolyte and mage classes simply makes them overkill while other classes don't benefit at all.

Considering the fact that we have to rely on ourselves rather than parties I would say that there's is another reason to keep the rates medium rather than low, but that's just my experience.

I've played 5/5/2, 2/2/1, 7/7/5, 15/15/10, 25/25/15 and high rate, of those options I'd say 15/15/10 and 25/25/15 were the most interesting. The 'problem' of RO is that your actual max level isn't 99 but 198, with 7x rates leveling gets slow after 80, with 15x after 95 and with 25 after rebirth 80.

With that said, I do agree that 25 is over the top, but I would like you to consider 15, particulary because of some new players who will want to explore the classes. I haven't played the game seriously in quite a while so I don't exactly remember the effect of certain rates. The last server was 15/15/7 and some good memories.

Edit: made a merchant this afternoon, and I'm curious what the rates are now, they feel nice.

Yes, the rates seem to have increased. I'm kind of curious on this myself.

Personally, I'm running Varl (Novice) and Spyder (Thief), but Spyder hasn't been posted in my sig yet. Should be interesting to see how things work out. Might actually be able to give RO a fair shot this time. Last time was...meh....

Working on a acolyte -> priest right now, these lower levels are difficult without help xD

Will put him in my sig when I log off today. If only /w, /who or @who was working so I could see how many people are online...

I'll try this out later when I get the time. I don't know how long I would survive in RO without my friends in there. >.<

Ok current rates as of now. To try out for a bit are.

xp = x5
job = x5
drop = x4

So 5x5x4

Also @who should be enabled now so everyone can see who is on if they like..
Can also check by going to this link.

I can not extract the RAG file, I have all 26 rars, each of the files are 51,200 up till the last one which is 47,023, it says that the file is corrupt, what can i do to fix this?

http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=download_kROLinks

@Cursed Raven
If it is just your RAG failing (meaning you DO have the SAK) you should be fine with just installing the runtime files mentioned on top of the page, then installing the SAK in the same directory you put the runtime files in. Then extract your kafRO package in that same folder and use sakexe.exe to play.

@ChosenOne
nice job on the server, but give some ingame warning next time you pull the plugs ;P

cant help that sorry lost power for about an hr today.

I gave up for the day. Tried to get my Thief Job, but when I got to the second floor as instructed, things that deal 200+ damage made me pop. F that. <.< I'll deal with that later.

To be a thief, think like a thief...



Got a small suggestion: put the how-to-install and all links concerning kafRO in the first post of this topic

Ok after spending most of the night/morning pulling my hair out and stuff I got the Server back up.. And its now runing the SQL system so should be easyier to do stuff down the road.

I will try and add the info and stuff to first post. We need more users then I could probley talk SK into our own Threed. :-p

And if anyone is bored might want to make us up some SIGs or something to adverise the server go for it :-p. Im so so with graphics work i usly just ask Tater to do them for me from time to time.

Hopeing to figure out a way to make a webpage that can be visted that will explan everything and whos on it etc.. and if its up and runing so on like you see for other servers just i don't know how to do any of that stuff lol..

Woa, very nice work!

I've got a "very short guide to RO" somewhere, I'll look around. It contains information on the installation / account creation procedure and a basic introduction to the game (stats, jobs, gear)


Updated the content a little

It's not the part of making the Server and putting it online. That part is at most only 10 Minutes of my Time. It's keeping players on and competing with other Servers.

Where do you think that amount of 20-25 comes from

I do believe KAF will have a somewhat solid player base tho, just lacking in numbers...

Well, I got bored. It's simple, and will work for the time being, but let me know when you get something better. I know you can.





I'm off to work now. Tah!

Drops ftw

( without this comment this would have been my shortest post on KAF... )

OK I have the shadow error....do i just reinstall sakray?

I'd say reinstall the thing, and make sure you have a proper RAG_SETUP (or the runtime files) and SAK_SETUP

1; install RAG_SETUP and let it patch OR use the runtime files
2; install SAK_SETUP in that same directory and let it patch
3; extract the KAFRO datapackage in that same directory, let it overwrite sakexe.exe
4; use sakexe.exe to play

And could you give me some details on when you get the error? As soon as your map is loaded or after you've walked around for a bit?


Edit:

If you are in need of some help on RO, being it help with getting it running, job counsilling or some help on putting your build together, don't hesitate to add me to MSN (goes for anyone) or xfire: bakajarin

Small note:
Joblvl 50 = madness as usual ^^

Just make sure you have the latest Clients.

Ok all have a look. kafRO Website still needs little work but you can sign up there manage your chars and stuff etc.

If your already signed up on the RO server just use your RO login info to login on the site as well.

Am I the only one having some Ping issues? It seems the server is acting a bit slow at the moment. Hope it's not just me.

Not just you, it's been *really* laggy since around 17.00 GMT+1, got a ping of about 1500~2500ms.

Got to say that Chosen did a nice job on the CP, now it just has to be filled up

Sorry about the ping guys/girls but it was due to me acuireing anime :-p. I get my stuff while I'm sleeping so might be little laggy at them times.

I try and keep my torrents bandwidth low tho but i had alot to do last night like 41 eps so it eat up my bandwidth.. Normaly only got around 2 runing and it only ties up like 50 to 60 of my 120 upload ablity..

Thanks about the CP but cant take credit for the work it was just one of the ones i found premade pretty much.. have a few others but keep comeing back to the one i listed that I like the most.. For the most part.

Tho i do like this one as well somewhat. Just needs a better banner and stuff pretty much and id probley use it don't know. kafRO Site 2

I'm also going to look into uping the Char limit so we can have more then 3 chars I know there is a way to do it just have to remember how lmao..

Edit: Nevermind, problem solved.

I hope this is fun

It better be, because I know where you LIVE.

Ok all. I have now fixed it so that everyone can have a max of 9 Chars. Only downside is you have to re download the kafRO.rar .

I have updated the kafRO.rar file on the first post it now has the updated sakexe.exe file in it that allows for 9 chars.

And it also has the fixed client.xml file so that no one should have to edit it no more to join the server..

You can get the link for the updated file from the first post or. Here or here.

You don't have to copy all the files.. If you have already got in and are able to play etc.. Just copy over the updated sakexe.exe file in the rar file and over right your old one and start playing agin.. All there is to it..

Update installed and running smoothly. Awesome.

... I already have 2 RO servers downloaded. Will it be worth it to download this one as well?

SO you offer anything like, free donates when you first register or something?

If you already got two downloaded all you have to do is add the kafRO server to your client.xml don't have to download everything you can have more then one server listed.. lol.

And no nothing giveing right now just normal stuff start out with 5k gold.. rates are 5/5/4 and you can play with other KAFer's at some point like to give the ablity of allowing people to make up quests that can be done that they think up them selfs.. Or custom maps etc..

There is alot of open ablity to RO it seams now days.. From Custom Maps,Sprits,NPCs,Quests etc

---------------------------------------------------------
How To Add Another Server To Your List.

Open the sclientinfo.xml located in your "c:/Program Files/Gravity/RO/Data/" Folder (That is if you used defult install path.) using notepad and you should see something like this.



To add another server to the list so you don't have to have multipule installed of the game just add the new server info to it .. After where it says </connection> hit enter a time or two and add in the new info so that it looks something like this..



When adding the other server info you don't need the hole thing agin you just need the stuff from <connection> thro </connection> and if you got a 3rd or 4th just repeat... When you start up your RO you should all the server listed now and you just select the one you want to play on.

Is it possible to download the client from the RO site and get the other files from you? It's a LOT of downloads that might be simplified...but I dunno, just offering.

I'm trying to get to play it...but that's a LOT of downloads.

My advise, get the runtime files instead of the RAG_SETUP, I posted the link earlier in this topic and also put it here. You will have to install Sakray properly to play it, and yeah, that's 1 GB download. I do recommend using a torrent if you can.

Note; you can't get the client from the RO site unless you're registered (and paying).

You catch me online, and I'll send you the 2 Gig .rar file I compiled from the 50 individual files.

Ya have to go with the links found about in this threed or torrents. Cant just download the one off the main RO website 1 it has to be the Korean version of the game and don't think you can download that any more inless you have a Korean IP so.

torrents, most do pretty well. If you get the runtime files from here you only need the sak_setup, but you won't have any music ingame.

On a ingame note; I accidentally messed up my skill build, (a really, really stupid miss click) and I was wondering if you planned to have something like a reset NPC or not (I'm actually against those) since I might have to start over.

There is a Skill Point reset NPC in Pront at 146,232 but it only does Skill Points not Stat points and you have to be a first job class with job level lower then 40

In that case I'll have to start over... /sob

Ok there is a normal Reset Girl NPC in Pront now near the middle. But it will cost Zeny to use it..
5k Skill
5k Stat
9k Both

For now. don't know if i will leave this npc or not if anything I might move it to a harder place to get to that way it don't get abused lol :-p.. Or raise the prices.. lol

wait a second...

this will allow people to get insane builds, I don't know if it's a good idea. If people want to reset that bad, at least let them pay a million zeny or something in that direction, this is madness xD

but really thanks for the reset, I won't screw up again

Ya I probley wont leave it for long. Tho I will for a bit so people that are just learning the game and stuff can reset if they mess up as well..

Tho in the long run I will probley end up moveing it to another place probley some place you have to hunt to get to that you will have to be a good high lvl to reach as well as probley uping the Price..

Maybe it's an idea to make the price level*50.000 and level*100.000 for rebirth characters for each reset.

the Reset one don't look at what class and stuff you are.. So not really a way of doing that with the current one there.. With out re programing it witch don't know enoph about it to do i can only do basic stuff..

Ok there is a normal Reset Girl NPC in Pront now near the middle. But it will cost Zeny to use it..
5k Skill
5k Stat
9k Both

For now. don't know if i will leave this npc or not if anything I might move it to a harder place to get to that way it don't get abused lol :-p.. Or raise the prices.. lol

$&*%, now I gotta get to Prontera! O_O Screwed up my stat building not too long ago, and I thought I was SCREEEEWED. Too bad I have to leave for an 8 and a half hour work shift, huh?

Oh well, take care of it when I get home tonight.

Edit: Nevermind, made it to Prontera before I had to leave. Thank you, teleportation services.

Perhaps we should consider making/attaching a forum to the KAF RO website, to cut down on the cluster we got going on in this thread.

There already is a forum on the CP site (and I even posted there)

About the rewriting of the reset NPC, I could do that. If you want I could write out some content for the CP as well, it's so empty! xD

@Spyder; nice going on the leveling. If you want to plan out your character a little, try out some tools like gn0me's skillplanner or doddlercon's calculator for statpoint distribution.

Thanks, but I actually have a set list I'm using for distribution of stats. I've already mapped out everything I want. =P

Ok I felt like being nice so for the weekend I up'ed the rates.

For Sat and Sunday the rates are.
9/9/9

Come Monday they will go back to normal. So get to lvling :-p.

SON OF A...

*Calls in sick to work*



Wait, that won't work. I'm out of sick hours. Dammit, it's going to be a long night for me. <.<

I almost missed it as well since I was spending the weekend with family. But it would have been nice to take some more advantage of it, especially the drop rates.

I heard your rates were loooooooooooooooooooooow. So I've decided not to play.

Chosen, please put the old script back, I already found what I was doing wrong and it wasn't the script, that was fixed in the 2.5 script which you should be running currently.

Please don't fix things that don't need fixing? "

Its keeped low so that there isn't a bunch of people runing around with lvl 99 chars becuse the raters are super high like x25 or what on other servers.. If you have a bunch of lvl 99 chars you will get bored with the game easly and not want to play no more. In my thought.

Its back up to the old one.
--------------------------------------

And on a side note while messing with that earlyer my PSU in my main PC died so now tell I can come up with 130 bucks for a new PSU I wont be around much becuse I have to use my server pc to do anything. :-(

Witch is tied up with kafRO, kaf PaintBall, TS Server and My Webserver. :-(

Damn, dude. That sucks.

I only play HR Servers. I don't get bored with high leveled characters - I get bored with having to GRIND. Which is all LR is.

I agree with Kon; RO = grinding. And that's exactly why it feels good to have a high level character with good equipment: you've worked for it. If you beat someone up during a WoE or PvP you can say it's because you've worked hard and came up with a good build, not because you were lucky and you used the right card in your armor today just because you felt like it.

And Chosen, I've got a server pc here on which I could host the RO server for starters (I have a fixed bandwidth limit so I can't host much else), but I'd have to set up the internet connection properly first, so please let me know in time if you wish to move it.

I'm back up and runin I lucked out got a 800 watt PSU for like 80 bucks at BestBuy.

Far as the high rate server thing goes.. Been thinking of maybe adding a 2nd server maybe that will run high rate seams it possable to do now days to do it.. Just have to look it over.

---------------------------------------------

Ok setup another server uses same login server so if you already got an account just login as normal you will just now see a 2nd sever..
kafRO
and
kafRO HR

kafRO will keep runing 5/5/4.
kafRO HR will run trial of 20/20/15

Let me know how it runs and stuff don't know how well it will sense the pc i got it runing on is only a SingleCore cpu. But since there isn't 100 people playing on it at one time think it should be ok..

You're tempting me... life will be a lot easier with those rates

No, Jarin! Don't go into the Dark Side! The Cake is a Lie!

-joins high rate-

8D

Ok what you all think about for the HR server of..

25/25/20 Rates and maybe a

150 Base Max
90 Job Max

??

Tho I will have to figure out how to up the Bad and Job tables but shouldn't be to hard.. I would think.

The eA boards should be able to help you out with that.

@ Spyder; let's dominate the LR server together! Although I'm getting frustrated already... getting the materials to forge my elemental weapon took a long time and it failed twice already. I blame the 41% success rate xD

*Head shots Drifter*

-DOMINATING-

Done and done, Jarin.

I'll stick with the LR for the moment. There's a sense of accomplishment with my character at the moment.

Headshot gives me a splendid idea... to hell with the monk without elemental weaponry, it's time for a gunslinger with sacred bullets - as soon as I have some time to make one

edit - and the money, I forgot those guys were expensive for a moment. Back to the drawing board

Ok so who wants a one day special tomarro on the normal kafRO of 29/29/29 Rates in celebration of my B-Day. Sense I will have no one to celebrate it with. :-/

I'll be on between from 20.00 GMT+1 (Europe time), Happy Birthday! I'll have to hunt some cake and giftboxes xD


And when I come home early the map server is down... what a let down

And it's back up again ^^

Ya after playing for a bit I realized i did the math wrong instead of setting it to 2900 witch = rates of x29 i had it set to 29000 witch is x290 xp rates DOH! so i had to take it down and fix. Sorry.

Have to say... 29x was really nice for a while. Lvl 76 in no time, got myself an emperium and collected my binoculars. Cheers Chosen

Just a question...

How many of us are playing, because I don't know whether to use my download limit on this, or get Devil May Cry...

Might get RO, depending on the activity, but won't play much due to WoW commitments.

/WoW-playing-failure

atm it's Spyder, Chosen and me

Ok all Rates are lowered agin.. Instead of going back to 5/5/4 desided to run normal server at 8/8/7 don't think it will hurt to much to have these little better rates so enjoy. :-)

Well we have 5 Unique diffrent IP accounts made.. 3 of witch are me,Spyder and Jarian, Theres allso Drifter but he hasn't been on agin sense he first tried it going to have to fix that lol.. And then the other 1 don't know who it is but never see them on..

We need more players thats for sure might have to talk to SK see if we can get our own Threed on here and maybe little advertisement on the site to see if we can get some more players.

Think the bigiest thing holding it back right now is the large 2 gig client download that is needed to play.

And I play WoW to :-p Dalaran Server

As I said before you can play just fine with a 1 GB client...

Fair warning I will have torrent runing tonight when I goto bed tell I get up witch I will be starting in a few min after I posted this msg lol.. I will have them on limits but thought id give fair warning about possable lag on the servers..

Well, I'll see whether Dad'll give me his credit card to get DMC, if not, you can expect to see me on sometime soon!

Ow and by the way, I've set up a guild (First to Fly) so everyone who would like to join is welcome. There's no WoE (and I guess there won't be for quite a while) but at least there's the guild chat.

But that's just a dream for now..

thats epic is it high rate or low rate and if low rate then what are the rates

the low rate is 8/8/7

heheehe thats epic XD I might check it out XD

Theres is acutly two servers.. One has the rates 8/8/7 and the other has rates of 20/20/15

crap forgot to log in

yea I would go for the 8/8 one if I got a change too I currently play on another server

Ok well either no ones been playing lately or no one can get on..

And I just realized and remembered that my ISP F*$#ed up other day and it changed my IP so im assumeing no been playing becuse they cant login..

Here is an updated sclientinfo Sorry for the delay if someone might of saided something like one of the regulars on KAF I would of fixed it sooner..

Updated sclientinfo Updated File

Just unrar the file to your Gravity/RO/Data folder and you should be back in business. Once agin sorry for the delay.

I decided I wouldn't play until I saw at least 1 change in the playerlist... which has been for a week or 2 already

Well talk to SK and bug him see if he can run an ad for us.. He might like you all better then me :-p

I tried running that but then I ended screwing up the other server I played on D: I fixed it though because I'm good like that but yea. I'll probably try it again sometime soon but yea I'm probably gonna stick to faithRO
