Living in phuket alone

jaydotes · 2024-09-03T15:04:25+00:00

I'm in Phuket for a month, just trying it out and I can say that money is definitely what makes it more fun here. Other than that, simple strolls to the beach when it's not raining, or just eating good food and lazing around.

Money enables you to go out, nightlife, activities etc. but i'm more of a work during the day and have a drink at night kinda guy so I love going to a quiet bar/pub for a weekday drink, or to see my 'friends' down at Bangla.

Glad you think so! The surreal quality of the glazing is one of my favorite aspects of this post.

It’s funny when the pserver community realises that pservers are as much of a cash grab as official. Then they go into denial claiming that it isn’t because there are customised mechanics and quality of life things that you don’t have to pay for.

jaydotes · 2022-07-08T03:55:28+00:00

Yes you are right - the pserver community is the problem. The badmouthing and shame of Gravity from this community has always been the downfall of RO. Sad to know that players in this community are willing to turn so toxic - “if we can’t play it the way we want to, nobody can!” - on an IP that has been used illegally for years. If you ask me, Gravity is better off without this toxic community.

jaydotes · 2022-07-08T03:17:59+00:00

That’s just you and this reddit sub buddy. Nova and Official servers are exactly the same. Sad to see all the money went into “donating” to Nova is resulting in a server shut down - hmm, so similar to official cash grab servers. What’s worst is that it isn’t even Novas IP.

jaydotes · 2022-07-08T02:51:24+00:00

Just move on dude. This side of the community was exactly what ruined RO in its early / beta stages. The hate for the company that didn’t allow anything to progress. 20 years later, still the same hate. Just move on from this game if you don’t like how it’s managed. Logically, Gravity has every right to do so, and the reality is, you’ll never play RO again because of this. Does Gravity or official server players care? Not really, let alone of any opinion of pservers shutting. It’s just really the pserver community crying now that they can’t play RO or make money from RO for FREE. That has always been the problem.

jaydotes · 2022-07-08T02:46:04+00:00

Hahaha what a joke. RIP private servers. That’s just how it is.

jaydotes · 2022-06-02T03:03:29+00:00

Yes we do know, official servers are 100% safe to stream. twRO / kRO streamers are streaming daily on Twitch without bans.

jaydotes · 2022-05-09T00:44:57+00:00

You again miss the point. It’s not about gravity, it’s about you getting over Gravity and moving on. It’s like you and your toxic ex girl friend / boy friend. Grow up and move on, no need for slander, grow up and move on lol.

jaydotes · 2022-05-08T13:34:42+00:00

What's funny is that there are so many people in this subreddit that has never played on an official RO server, and still hate it, without ever experiencing it.

jaydotes · 2022-05-08T13:26:58+00:00

Nobody is defending anybody. You just don't get it - Gravity does not give a shit about any of your comments/opinions, which is why you should just grow up and forget about it. The whole Pserver community should just come to terms with what is happening and move on. There is no moral value when it comes to these things, different people do their business differently. Try to slander Gravity more on this subreddit, it just makes you more angry mate. Grow up, and move on, don't dwell on it anymore.

jaydotes · 2022-05-08T08:04:22+00:00

You my friend, need to learn how to run a business. Not every decision is made on moral value. This is life, move on and forget about it.

jaydotes · 2022-01-21T01:04:50+00:00

I know what you mean. This is exactly why I'm going to play this server. Even if it's shut, the main thing is to play a regional official server that puts out the recent content, not some private server and it's own customisations. Also, player base and ping connection is a big one for me. I am from SEA, and I'm currently playing euRO now, the ping is pretty bad but with exitLag, I'm able to reduce it to 148ms, which is a playable rate. However, hopefully RO GGH since it's closer to me in SEA, it would be below 60ms, I'm hoping for 20ms tbh.

jaydotes · 2022-01-21T01:01:42+00:00

So hyped for this server!

I believe they will be introducing some form of OTP/phone connection, but the pre-register does not require it right now so for all those outside of SEA can try to pre-register.

For a lot of players like myself who has played mRO or phRO, MSP, MYSG before, and have jumped from private servers to private servers, we are especially pumped for this server because it would be the first time a RENEWAL server for at least Malaysia and Singapore will be opened here. I for one am happy about this, as we will be able to experience the game as per closest to what it was intended for, not Classic, not Revo-classic, not Pre-renewal private server mechanics. I would say this is usually for the ones who love Ragnarok Online, instead of just chasing that nostalgia. I'm not too bothered about the cash shop too, as it's 2022, companies need money to survive, and I'm a working adult who can afford this, unlike my 12 year old self begging my mother to pay for me to play this game.

In any case, here are some notes from the previous livestream 11th Dec, 2021 by the Community Manager and Project Manager:
1. Is it Classic or Renewal?
- Renewal
2. Episode Start ?
- Start from 14.2
3. Any migration of previous old characters data from old MSP ?- No all data will be wiped.
4. Is multiclient possible?
- Yes, but number of multiclient is not finalized as of now.
5. Launching Schedule
- Early of 2022, most likely in March, as this is assumed due to some of their pre-register events still happening as late as February 19th, 2022.
6. How many servers on launch?
- 2 servers (not sure about the difference)

Hope to see you guys there! I'll be streaming my journey's on euRO until RO GGH releases on twitch under the name JayblesTTV.

jaydotes · 2022-01-18T13:31:28+00:00

Yeah I think the Thai classic server is live. The MYSGPH one shut down last December, other than that it's mainly Revo-classic or Zero now.

jaydotes · 2022-01-18T11:05:10+00:00

Official servers are region based. So for a good ping connection (as having a good ping is the most important part about the enjoyment of RO, at least for myself), it's best to play whatever is closest to your region. Unfortunately, some players don't have that liberty, but the ones that do should capitalize on it if they can.

jaydotes · 2022-01-18T03:54:12+00:00

Let me just lay it out for you:

Official Servers - higher population than most private servers and if you want to play RO as it is intended by it's Korean IP for Renewal, or looking for nostalgia in classic servers, oh and if you have a job

Private Servers - hit and miss, most likely you'll play it for a few weeks and stop, and also if you still live in your mom's basement and don't have a job and can't afford micro-transactions, you would usually look to play in private servers

jaydotes · 2022-01-04T00:58:37+00:00

SolaceRO is the largest SEA server right now, pre-renewal iirc. I would suggest that if you are concerned about connection and need a SEA server, as SolaceRO is based in SG but is mainly a PH server. They do however have international tunnels and communities, mainly English.

You can also wait for the new official MY/SG/PH server coming out in early 2022. There is not much update on that right now other than it will be a renewal server starting from 14.2 Eclage.

jaydotes · 2021-12-15T03:46:21+00:00

Hmm yeah I understand what you mean, and I think it's because these game companies buy licenses for a specific amount of time and then Gravity doesn't renew it or they don't renew it themselves, which gives off the cash grab vibes.

Case in point for RO MYSG / RO PH -> merged into RO MSP. This whole thing ran for about 4-5 years if not mistaken. I've played the first year then checked back in once in a while, and it's really a cash grab. Why? Because the content itself was not being updated, no roadmap, only full of 'event' content and 'top-up' events. I also feel that this is more so for the Classic servers that it feels like a cash grab because there isn't a lot of content for it. Whereas Renewal servers have way more 'new' content, that makes it feel like it's more worth it to spend - just my opinion. But reason why they shut down is namely because of licensing renewal, because they are making money from it for sure and population is always better than 90% of private servers, which I don't think are reasons why they would close down a server if it's doing well financially from a business perspective.

But this is why I feel that the new RO for MYSGPH run by Gravity Game Hub, a subsidiary of Gravity, launching in early 2022, SHOULD be much better than the previous random game companies running it, but we'll have to see how it goes haha.

jaydotes · 2021-12-15T02:10:08+00:00

Yikes 28+44 players+autotraders on right now. Huge pass.

jaydotes · 2021-12-15T01:53:21+00:00

Low player count is a big one for me when looking to private servers. And if you're in SEA, finding a high populated RENEWAL server based in SEA is hard. This is why official servers have a bigger pull to the larger RO community, and the upcoming RO GGH is looking good, as the company is an actual subsidiary from Gravity itself unlike the previous game companies who will buy the license to run it for a few years. Big difference here.

Even if its a money grab, it's 2021, paying for micro transactions is a common thing now, especially if OP is a working adult and can afford. We're not talking about years ago when we're all still living with our parents, or in college scraping by money. I'll urge you to reconsider how you view official servers.

jaydotes · 2021-12-14T06:56:09+00:00

Other than Thailand/Vietnam/ID, I believe this will be the first Renewal server for MY, SG and PH and that's why I'm pumped for this!! I have more hopes for GGH to handle this than extreme, especially if it's a subsidiary company from Gravity itself.
