Hi there! 22 year old male, living in Boulder, Colorado. I'm kind of excited to see a server that's been added to and modded, instead of just kludged to the point where people can play most of the game.
I'm a casual MMO gamer, by and by... I started on [RO server] about three years ago, played for four months and quit. I remember that half of that server didn't work at the time; the whole point of it was to level up quick and PvP until your finger falls off.
I started up on other (legitimate) MMOs: City of Heroes, EVE online, WoW (and I can't understand how people get so addicted to it; it's really not that great). I've had fun with them, but I want lighter fare every now and again.
I picked up [another RO server], as I didn't want to deal with [previous RO server] again and [the other server] was the only other server I'd heard about. Well... [the other server] never has more than 80 people on at a time, and every one of them is a 13 year old boy trying to look older. Whatever; ganking rats was more interesting than @Main in most games.
I started browsing map databases and came across some top 100 server list or another... I liked the sound of HeRO as a server name and took a closer look.
I think this is exactly what I've been looking for in a server. Custom quests? Dual storylines? RP encouragement? Sign me up!
Now if only the patch would make the [other server] files work instead of making me wait four hours.
Anyhow, I do believe a server this quality would have a community to match. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
