Free stuff makes me pay moar
So I was bored one day and asked SS on the chat on what games are interesting lately. He said there's nothing really noteworthy lately, but told me that iRO opened up a free server with 100% drop rate.
I only took note by then, and commented to SS that I can't seem to access the iRO website. So I was liek, hey maybe the server's on maintenance.
But almost every day I try to access the iRO website to no avail, it turns out that they've done some fun IP banning of anywhere not in their jurisdiction. By then I was getting nuts because 1. I'm too bored and 2. The grip of RO is slowly getting back to me.
So I actually went to an anonymous proxy website and browsed through their pages to find a download link. To make a long story short, I got the client but it wouldn't connect!
So I was liek, fark dis I'm...
...going to play on the Taiwan/HK free server.
And so I started my RO life there. But it's as if the host (Gameflier) doesn't want you to connect, they have an overly complex security system where you have your own password for the Gameflier account, then an additional account and password for RO, and then a keypad thingy for double verification on Gameflier, and then you need to register at least 1 phone number.
What's the phone # for? Every time you start playing RO, you need to give them a call with your registered phone #. Then you login immediately after it rang once (the line automatically cuts off afterwards).
But that's not just it, another keypad thingy appears in-game for an additional set of password for you to enter. Once that's correct, you can play now.
And did I mention that accessing the storage needs yet another keypad thingy password? This free server is also a severely nerfed one too. You get 50% exp rate, and no fly and b-wings, and if you die, you get a 30% chance of dropping something that you're holding (or wearing, I forgot).
But I kept playing. Kept playing until my novice was lvlbuzting in Culverts finding that killing cockroaches for 1% exp isn't fun. I should've switched classes already (if exp is normal).
So alluvasudden I bought a points card to get on a paid server, today.
RO, I blame you for making me play you again. D:
