I highly agree with Aurora. I mean on top of that, yeah there are 99999 other private servers out there. Probably about half of them are the same money hungry servers. But those that are not, they have their own view of what "customization" is, their have their own storyline, they have their own events and equips and etc. They do what they think RO should be about. I love to go to other peoples servers and talk with the admins and gms to share their view of interest in their server and in my server. It's just fun to work with people, get the satisfaction from players when they LOVE something that has been done.
On top of it all, if your wanting to work in the game industry, this is freaking GOOD experience. I don't know if it is resume qualified, but either way you still have the knowledge under your belt. We do what we can to be DIFFERENTT, UNIQUE and HELPFUL in our own RO communities. But we still all have the love for RO.
