[edit] Etiquette & Rules
Q: I see characters that move by themselves without responding. What are they, and what should I do?
- There is a possibility that this is a bot; a program used by players to automate leveling or other activities. Note that sometimes these people are simply busy or are not in a state to talk. If you suspect a bot, report them to the GMs.
Q: How should I deal with annoying players?
- First of all, there is the /notalkmsg command to completely block off all public chat from being written in your chat box. If he is sending private messages, you can block him with the /ex <character name> command. The best solution for trolls is to simply ignore them.
Q: Someone is persistently asking for money/items. How should I respond?
- Refuse politely at first, but if the problem escalates you can report them. There is the /notrade command to automatically refuse deals, if they are constantly requesting for deals.
Q: What is the best way to attract people's attention?
- Give greetings, and talk to them politely. Respect other people's needs to do other activities. For requesting heals or buffs, ask once or twice. There are many reasons people do not respond. In general, be nice and avoid being demanding. As with all etiquette online, avoid talking in all caps, swearing, or demanding.
[edit] Troubleshooting F.A.Q.
Q: Why do I get "Failed to get 'xxx.rgz' or 'xxx.gpf'" when patching?
- This is either caused by a busy patch server or a previously failed patch. Wait a few minutes and then try again.
Q: Why do I experience lag when playing?
- A good connection between client and server depends on the internet service provider (ISP). With a good ISP, lag is minimal. Sometimes, it is the server that is bogged down. In this case, others will experience the lag as well. Frequently, lag problems are caused by problems with servers between the user and the Ragnarok Online server. Use of programs such as Tracert can help in determining what the source of the lag is. With some combinations of hardware and ISP, heavy uploads from other users on the connection will cause unacceptable lag - this would show up on a Tracert as high ping times at the first or second hop. In this case, performance can be improved by ensuring that nobody using the connection is using any peer-to-peer file sharing programs. Another possible cause of lag is the user's computer - this can be due to insufficient hardware for acceptable performance, other programs running in the background, or malware problems. In these cases performance can be improved by closing any other open programs, ensuring the computer is free of any malware, and playing with some of the graphics options (lightmap, fog, effects) disabled.
Q: My character is stuck. How do I become unstuck?
- Simply goto the Control Panel, login, and goto the Problems link. From there you can reset your Characters location to his/her savepoint. If you're still having troubles make sure your Fusion RO and Sakray are fully patched!
Q: What is a Time Gap Error?
- It is an error caused by packet loss or extreme network latency (lag). It can sometimes be caused by incorrect network or BIOS settings, but most often is is simply a result of lag. It often occurs in the event of a prolonged "lag spike".
Q: What does the "cannot init D3D or GRF file has a problem!" error mean?
- It is an error dealing with graphics. Run the RO setup program, and verify that a graphics mode has been selected in the first option box. If there are no options available, compatible graphics drivers are not installed. Please verify that hardware requirements are fulfilled and drivers are up-to-date. Also, please be sure to have the latest version of DirectX installed. Running Windows in 16-bit color mode may also solve this problem.
Q: Help! I keep getting a "Failed to connect to server." message!
- This problem is usually caused by a faulty connection between client and game server. First, make sure the internet is accessible, and that any software firewalls are configured to allow RO to access the internet. If the problem persists, the server may be down, or there may be problems with a server between the user and the Ragnarok Online server. Try again later and check the server status with sites such as this. As a last resort, contact a GM through the website.
