Now,, I'm going to be honest with you all. I've been playing on a P. server for years, it's how I met my boyfriend, in fact. Before you get all judgy on me, Let me explain why:
At first, I had no idea it was a private server. I know that ignorance of the law is no excuse to break it, but level with me here. By the time I found out, I had friends. It was fun. If I had to pay for it, I would never have even started playing. I loved the community. I was in a great guild. And for all of you who play iRO, you know walking everywhere isn't as appealing as @warping to wherever you want.
After a while, I got busy, went back to school, lost my computer, blah blah blah. Time kept creeping along, and before I knew it, it had been a few years since I had played. Suddenly, I got the itch. So I log on. And dear lord, it was awful. All of my friends were gone, having moved on to another server, or away from RO in general. They STTIILLLL didn't have third classes. Everyone playing seemed either half my age, or didn't speak English. And Prontera was full to the brim with spam of every shape and size imaginable. I tried going off and level, but it simply wasn't fun anymore.
Since then I've been thinking, should I find another server, or join the legit masses and play iRO? Now, I'm giving you an opportunity to sway me into the light. Tell me why, beside the obvious, "it's wrong," train of logic, I should give Gravity my hard earned cash? What does iRO have for me that I won't find in a P. server?
**NOTE: Before you hit that report button, please actually read. I'm not trying to talk about P. servers. I'm not trying to link anyone. Hell, I didn't even mention the name of the server I played on. I'm trying to find out, from someone who plays iRO, what the real benefits to playing the legit game are. Also, I don't want to hear any elitist bs about how I'm going to videogame hell.
