This is a tribute to JacKaIL, one my RO friend, and ROG extension GM. We celebrated last week because he reached lvl 99 then few days after that a terrible happened to his acct. His acct got hacked and this so called hacker deleted his character. Actually I was online when this thing happened, i PM jack to ask something, then i got a weird reply, accdg to him he will sell all his equips to Php (pesos). After that, all guildmates were expelled by him, then he got offline..


--me and jack--
Next day, i heard from some about the news. Tsk tsk tsk ..sayang ...

Dami talagang issues regarding s pRO. daming ganyan ng nangyayari sa pRO. People hacked other accts,because of money and greed. This is what they do, usually they got other's acct, no.1 keyloggers. After they login to other's acct, they will transfer all the items and zeny(RO's monetary) to one of their acct, then boom ..instant money..people sell zeny for php..usually 1M zeny=50 pesos, it depends on the server or depends on quantity. So this person can either sell first these items during the game to have equivalent zeny,then after that , they will create a chat window (pub) containing such as this "S>100M, 50 pesos eac, SM Manila,mit now" or depends on their "merchant skills" on how these items can be converted to php.
Playing on a local server is very different playing on int'l servers, people there are more friendly and most especially customer service is great, im talking mostly on GM(gamemasters), u can see them during the game which you will rarely see on local GMs, first of all, why they can't do this. Coz many players hate GMs, they don't respect them, i always had an analogy between a GM and a police/politicians (no offense). These 2 images are similar in a sense that you can't trust them. I got hacked before and the right customer service i got really sucks. If you report a case, what you get is a copy-paste scripted answer from non-sense GMs, no more other details that you need and you have to write and insist them for your right.

Playing RO is much enjoyable before than playing today. Ngayon panay yabangan, angasan ang labanan, if your part of a well-known guild minsan kahit mahina ka feeling malakas ka na..tsk tsk tsk.. Sometimes people are insecure, they will ask you for a PVP (playervsplayer), just to let who's stronger between you. You will learn different terms in RO. ang gasgas na "ASA" at "tae".i don't where did these words originate pero sometimes if ur new on the community,you got pissed off when someone call u these...hehehe..
Now they do have a so called URDR server - a RO Player Kill server where only the strongest survive. If you're not "makunat" you're deadz.. Yabangan na naman d2.sabagay ganun naman talaga ang labanan sa RO, pikon ay talo.

When my RO acct was hacked before, at first, i want to look for this person and smash his face then eventually blame myself for being so careless..experience is the best teacher, now i have full of anti-spywares,anti-keyloggers on every machine, restricted some folders, . What i do right now, to be sure, aside from on-screen-kb, i have to copy partial password then do some random inputting of password. Last jan 26 , LUG launches NProtect GameGuard, which was first seen on some online games such as Gunbound and MU Online.. Accdg to them, it will provide better security,lessen keylogging,spywares.etc. Somewhat i believe also coz this program will run at the background before the RO client launches. Sana it will do a 3-DES data encryption while inputting passwords or any good encryption para suave..

I will not be surprise if players will appreciate other online games aside from pRO because there are lots of reasons why pRO sucks, first of all their customer service and some players. Lots of scammers and assh*les on the game.jologs attitude.. If you can lurk on some pRO boards, you can see several threads on how they bash local GMs..
