ROSE Online

[Dark Knight Zer0]

dont let the name fool you, this is acctuly a pretty decent game...for being free and all.

Its a lighter more kiddy version of GW, which is ok cause its free to DL and free to play. oh and its fully MMORPG

you start out as a "Visitor" basicly you have no skill and no class, and like most RPGS (Diablo comes to mind) you wait till you know what you want in the way of skills and abilities before you spend your XP and SP

the only problem here is that you cant geta job untill lvl 10, but getting to lvl 10 doesnt really take THAT long to reach usually with in about 1 to 1.5 hrs or so and you are all set.

after reaching lvl 10 you can be:
A Soldier- name says it all, all around ass kicking machine
A Hawker- think of a pirate and thats kinda close to what these guys are, good with bows
A Dealer- the non-NPC traders of the game, fuels part of the in-game economy
A Muse- Magic users (my 1st character)

The graphics are heavy on the Anime style but looks really great, the sound on the other hand is really freaking annoying after a while (I usually turn the BGM off and throw in a CD)

also there are lots of areas to explore, 1st you have your starting area with about 5 towns and areas in between. Also there are other planets you can explore as you continue on your quests.

its not bad, not as good as GW or any professional MMORPG, but still good for being free

looks VERY promising. i will try it out on my weekend. :)

[Zantas]

their website is very well made. they give links to directx and even ati/nvidia drivers. they took 99% of the work out of installing it

[ThriKreen]

I have this stupid idea for a character to play in a MMORPG for goofing off, but I wonder if I'd ever get around to doing that.

[[NAKED]Loki]

Woah ima gonna check it out.

[Zantas]

so far my only beef is having to fill in ALL the information in the register form

[Dark Knight Zer0]

yeah, but I havent gotten any new spam cause of it, I think they are just trying to get a feel for thier players.

I forgot to mention the game was orginaly made in Korea (the one available is the international version)...cuase of this fact some the wording is a little...umm...strange...but still understandable

DK0

[[NAKED]Loki]

Ya my names gonna be Loki or Wompa whenever i get to the playing

[Zantas]

Mine is Zantas

dk0 what's yours?

[DarkWHITE]

It's the same company that makes Ragnarok Online and anyone who played that already knows that their english sucks

[Nefarious]

how long did it take you guys to download?

[Dark Knight Zer0]

took me 1.5 hrs to DL, then another few mins to update

my current char is KnightZer0

DK0

p.s. seems that the ID server is down for now...no playing right now...that or my games fubared somehow

[Nefarious]

well, i got about another 35 min. my name will be Nefarious[gh]

[Nefarious]

while i wait, ill ask some questions... is there a system built into the game to talk to friends like the whisper in GW or whatever WoW has? how can we meet up and be in a party? what job/skills does everyone think they will be? can you change the name of your character without creating a new one?

since i am usually a warrior in like every game, i think im gonna switch things up a bit and be a hawker. dont like magic very much, so that out of the question for me. however, since dk0 is a muse, i could be a soldier because it recommends that you have a magic user to enchant the warriors or whatever. but i do like the idea of being a trader as well cuz im the kind of person that doesnt mind micromanagement and tedious tasks. suggestions?

[[gh]Spurty]

I'll give it a whirl tonight

[ThriKreen]

I'm registering and downloading it right now, someone set a time and we'll all pop to play.

[Nefarious]

right now, the log in server is down, so yay, cant do a thing in the game

epp thats alot to answer so Ill do my best

Yes the game has a wisper command, infact it has a friends list like STEAM does so keeping track of people is easy. Party forming is also easy, walk up to a person select them and do the "Ask to party" command. We'd have to find a place to meet up, I know a few places in diffrent towns that arent cluttered by players or PC owned shops. The website has a list of all skills and abilities for each class. and as far as I know the only way to change you name is to make a new character. On that note I found out that in a city called Zant (its north of where you 1st start out) you have an account items box. Basicly if you have more the one character of diffrent classes, you can hold items in the warehouse, log in as your other character, and take out/equip the items. Much better then the D2 system of "hey ill brb with my other char so I can have this uber l33t item I found." Only down side is that it costs $$ per item

Yes the account server is down right now (ive been sooo board today) so you cant play and I dont know when it will be up. Check the rose boards once and a while and they should post when its up.

[Nub-Shtrike]

30 minute DL, cool.
yeah looks awesome just looked through all the site, nice setup.
name will be NubshtrikeGH

[Nefarious]

dk0, have you already reached lvl 10? Is reaching lvl 10 more single player or are parties necessary? cuz you cant join a party if the average lvl of the party is 7 lvls under you

[Nefarious]

ok, since it wont let me use [gh] now its NefariousGH

[ThriKreen]

It freezes like 2min into the game, I can never get out of the initial spawn circle of stones. Anyone experiencing this?

[Nefarious]

its running fine on mine. dont know what is wrong with yours

[[NAKED]Loki]

Ya its runnin fine for me too

[Nefarious]

how do you add people to the friends list? everytime i try it says: character cannot be found nor online

[[NAKED]Loki]

Gosh Im Hot.

[Nefarious]

i bought a short bow and some fire arrows from a little vending shop hehe! right after you left :(

[Dark Knight Zer0]

sounds like a bad DL Thri, it doesnt take much to run the game.

leveling can be either A) solo or B) Party, of course in party mode you split the XP, but theres tons of quests you can do over and over again for uber XP.

btw Im lvl 16 right now

Dk0

[cr0nick]

i dont like it

[Evil Ernie]

I notice the MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS do not exist on the website, which you'd THINK were necessary.

[Nefarious]

I notice the MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS do not exist on the website, which you'd THINK were necessary.

[Nefarious]

servers down again.

but i found out to make a clan, you have to be lvl 30 and have 1,000,000 zuly or whatever its called

[kud0z]

I'm level 6... it's pretty boring. All you kill is jelly beans and worms.

[Zantas]

i'm lvl 10 and i'm trying to get the hawking job.... i have to collect 20 of something fromt monsters i can't find.

[Nefarious]

zan, i would help you (provided the servers come back up), but i wont be home from 2-9:30. Im lvl 14 hawker right now

[Zantas]

OMGOMGOMG heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp me plz. It's 12:20pm right now so only a couple hours wait. the server is down too *sighs*

Edit: I found out how to make clans too. Minlvl of 30 and zuly of 1mil.

[Nefarious]

i really wish they would do a better job of keeping their servers online. or at least letting people know what is going on.

[Dark Knight Zer0]

yeah I dont know whats going on, before hand they were just fine untill the resent update they made.

When we join the game we should make/join a chat room, call it GameHavoc with PW GH

DK0

[Nefarious]

i did that before, some guy that spoke another language must have guess the pw :(

[cr0nick]

do you ever get to kill anything other than jelly beans?

[Nefarious]

yes cronick, i told you, once you start exploring past the first area (not Birth Island) you never see jelly beans

[Zantas]

create a chat room? how bout we name it gamehavoc and set the pw to like: zoe

no one would guess that unless they were in gh to begin with.

[Dark Knight Zer0]

yeah thats better

unfortunetly, after all the server down time the players are over crowding the 3 servers, cant get in :(

DK0

[Zantas]

creating a chat room is pointless. passwords never stick and random people join and spam like retards. btw i'm lvl 21 hawker now :D

[Scurvey Dog]

hah i joined a group andthen alt tabbed out and watched a move, came back and was level 7.

[Nefarious]

Since I am colorblind and cannot see the difference, is the enemy's name:
http://gamehavoc.com/album_pic.php?pic_id=191
light green, yellow, or orange

http://gamehavoc.com/album_pic.php?pic_id=192
light green, yellow, or orange

[Zantas]

both yellow

[Nefarious]

excellent!

[Dark Knight Zer0]

omg Nef I hate you

DK0

[Nefarious]

its ok dk0, 31 now...
here the plan guys.
I NEED between 10k-20k zuly from each person to start the clan.

[Zantas]

not sure how much i have atm (think i bought like max arrows or something) but i'll see how much i have

[Nefarious]

excellent, server is dead again.
i found a new quest once i turned 30, i have to kill 10 Aqua Captains in 10 min in the desert. that time includes the walk there and the walk back to zant. how great is that.

[Nefarious]

its ok dk0, 31 now...
here the plan guys.
I NEED between 10k-20k zuly from each person to start the clan.

wait, it costs 1,000,000.... ok, now i need 150k-200k from everyone :(

[Low-Light]

I'm like lvl 3 or 4. I wont leave my newb island till 10.

I'm TheJunkMan

[Dark Knight Zer0]

DK0

[Nefarious]

weeeeee carts are fun

[Dark Knight Zer0]

weeeeee carts are fun

OMG U SUCK

DK0

[Zantas]

i quit btw

[kud0z]

I think I'm going to as well. I simply don't have enough time to play and don't want to sit and level to 50.

[Nefarious]

if you are both seriously quiting, can i get ur stuff/money?

[Scurvey Dog]

i want your stuff too guys cmon!!

[Dark Knight Zer0]

i could use some cash

DK0

[Zantas]

beg nef for cash, i gave him over 100k worth of zuly/eq

[Nefarious]

workin on selling the stuff, then i will give you both some zuly if i see you online

[A [NAKED] SLoTh]

Hey i play this game 2. My names are Kyle06 Kyle 07 and the character im playin now is cowboykid

[A [NAKED] SLoTh]

BTW i could chip in for the clan=)

[Zantas]

nef sell the armor in zant, you can get like 60k from stupid people

[A [NAKED] SLoTh]

what are yalls character names.......

[Nefarious]

NefariousGH is my only one, so you contact me so i dont have to enter all 3 of yours. but usually when something popsup, its to join a party so i instantly click cancel, so if that happens to the friend invite, send it again. and i dont think a clan would be worth it really. i mean now, with zan and kudoz quiting... 1 mil for a 4 person clan isnt worth it.

EDIT: Now that I checked ROSE, i see you sent 3 invites to me. I usually leave my shop running while im not around or not playing ROSE, so that is why I didnt respond. I couldnt accept because I was disconnected from the server some time during my absence.

[Dark Knight Zer0]

KnightZer0 is my muse
Grayswandir is my Hawker
Obirdin is my dealer

DK0

[Nefarious]

do you use dealers a lot dk0? we need a good dealer for the GH community on ROSE. muse isnt too important since the level gaps are so wide now and we cant party.

[Scurvey Dog]

but usually when something popsup, its to join a party so i instantly click cancel, so if that happens to the friend invite, send it again.

yeah you bastard dont cancel me. and if you have any good hawker stuff im level 25 and kick ass so gimme stuff. i think im pretty good for money right now though, think ive got like 25,000

[Nefarious]

i have some very nice hawker equip for lvl 22+

[A [NAKED] SLoTh]

lvl 38 bow hawker "kyle06"
lvl 27 Bourgouis Dealer "Kyle07"
lvl 21 Artisan Dealer "Cowboykid"

[Nefarious]

yay! dealers! i love you!

[Low-Light]

I'm the best dealer!!!

Level 13 and still havent even completed getting my job as a dealer! I rock. I've not played the game in like 3 weeks :(

I need more hours in a day.

[Dark Knight Zer0]

heh

im gonna be a dealer that creates stuff and then sells them for insane prices to noobs

DK0

[Nefarious]

what lvl dk0?

[Dark Knight Zer0]

not that high...umm...like 22 or something.

my muse is almost 30

gotta start playing some more

DK0

[Nefarious]

we need a high level dealer to craft stuff for us. and i was talking to sloth, he and his friend plan on starting a clan and i said I would pitch in. so dk0, if you have some money, you should too. there will be a 50k enterence fee, nothing big.

[Nefarious]

started an artisan style dealer. i wish it was this easy to level at 50+

[Dark Knight Zer0]

what sucks is that my comp needed to be reformated and apperently it doesnt see our cd-drives and other hardware sooo...no rose or CS for me. At least rose keeps your player info server side rather then client side....

MY CS MOD CHARS ARE GONNA BE GONE NOOO

DK0

[Nefarious]

so that is why you havent been on... but looks like you need a new mobo.

[Dark Knight Zer0]

so that is why you havent been on... but looks like you need a new mobo.

DK0

[Nefarious]

[Dark Knight Zer0]
