The problem of accepting group-runs is the only legal way to do those would be on LAN enviroments because GRAVITY stated "Change the client's official Ragnarok to connect to these emulators is legal ONLY if done for private use, in localhost with address 127.0.0.1"(this is a translatetion some one else made so I wold not swear by it) I suppose I could try to contact GRAVITY directly whit the issue, they don't seem to mind private servers, but otherwise it seams a little too risky. And is very sad too because even a 2 man run will increse the depth and fun of the run by 1000% you are totally right xDrHellx.

I will check job quests when i'm back on my computer but it seams a reasonable goal timewhise, the more i think about MVP category the more I like it, I will run some tests to see if I can came up whit a decent strategy for the run. And maybe record one run of each to send whit the request.

If some one else wants to fiddle, send me a PM and I will send you the link and instructios to set the thing up.

Ok, I gote the wole idea because I found a REALLY easy way to set up a server (5 minutes no skill required. besides download time witch sits at 3GB~ i runned the server on the same PC whitch is mid-low end and is 3-4 years old), the oficial server part I supose comes from a legal standpoint of speedrun.com I would think, thats why I checked, technically we would be runing rathena.

I'm an old dog renewal dien't even croshed mi mind, but think the whole paradise group and linear leveling would defeat the appeal of runing this at less for me. I figured I coud make a folder whit the server settigs we decide upon and require to start every entry to download and sustitude the folder on camera before firing up the server ther would be still ways to mend whit the database, but that would be easy to spot watching the replay.

I figure you could divide the rates in categories (a bit weird but would work) but i figured something betwen 10-20 would be fine for speedrun purposes, it's the experience most players would have experienced in the day aniway, and it make for reasonable runtimes. I got to wizard on 50 minutes on x10 (and ther was much room for improvement) Geting the full 99/70 would be a weak long run(at very less probably more) I suspect even optimizing every thing thats why i don't see it viable, but more reasonable goal whould be lvl 85 or 90 for long runs have to make more tests but, these are the breakpoints that make sense to me for a long run.

I was thinking that maibe the more fun aproach is just to run untill you kill 1 MVP, i think it have potential for routing a strategy.

Aniway I think whit a bit of work and reserch we can come up with something fun and engaging to run whit this.

I'm a long time speedrun fan, I have speedrun various games, pokemon red and diablo II mainly but never got any run worth submitting, now I figured I will try to run my all time favorite game Ragnarok Online (found memories) I will try to get it approved if I fail I will run it alone (That will made me world best aniway right :)? )

I always admired this community and hope to some day be worthy of it.

So I wanted to request a game, Ragnarok Online, is old enough and leagal to run your own server(Legal loopholes I don't understand), but the thing is, they ask for a 100% run to allow you to request, I don't even know what that means in a game of this scope. I have tested some ways it could work, like first job change, or race to level 80. Will that make my case or should I push it to a 10-12 houer run to go 99? (I'm testing at x10 rates) In adition to this, I would like to have a discusion whit people that are interested,on what settings should be the standard, like alowed commands, rates etc...
