Server crashes

Hello Dreamers,
Our hosting company is currently having network problems, it has done it twice in the last 4 days. The hosting company is currently investigating the issue and it will be resolved soon.
EDIT @ 12:21 AM: Server is down for the night due to various network problems, and Haze has no way to access it at the moment. We have to wait for the hosting company to put it back up, so please be patient. Thank you.

Hello Dreamers!
First of all I'd like to thank every single player that left a RateMyServer review, thanks to your support the server was able to reach Rank #1 once again and will surely keep it for the next 6 months or so. I can already see the difference in the server population and I'm sure many of you have too. So thank you very much once again!
It has been almost a month since the server was updated and many of the bugs that were originally present after the update have already been fixed but I'm sure there are still some more left. We have reduced the damage and cool down of most of the over powered 3rd job skills but the skills are not perfect yet and we will continue to balance every 3rd job skill. If you have found a bug or an overpowered/underpowered skill we highly encourage you to post it on the designated sections (Suggestions & Bugs ) and we will address the issue as soon as possible. Created a changelog so players can stay up to date with the changes we make.
Now that the server is more stable we will concentrate on smoothing everything out and enhancing the game play as much as we can. Although the update has already been implemented, don't forget that we still have other juicy updates that we are saving for the future such as Player Housing, Mining System, Poring Wars, Mini-Game rooms and tons more.
Thank you for your loyalty to DreamerRO!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years !

First of all I'd like to warn you all that this topic will contain a lot of QQing and ranting but I need to get this off my chest before it's too late. So stop reading now if you want.
I have to admit that I'm extremely disappointed right now, why ? For the last 5 months me and the GM team have been busting our asses working on this update, during this time our server's population decreased drastically because players simply stopped showing their support to the server. I thought this was because the server had become boring and outdated so I pushed through believing that this update would make the players happy and they would start contributing to our development once again. But apparently I was wrong.
Since the update was released (22 days ago) I have been dedicating at least 12 hours or more every day to fix the bugs that you all report and also to balance the things that need to be balanced. I know that the update made almost all of you happy because I can see the difference in the community's in-game activity, however the server still seems to be suffering from lack of players support.
So my question is, If the GM team is literally busting their asses to bring DreamerRO back to it's former glory then why can't the players do the same? You're all playing a completely FREE server which is more up to date than ANY other server out there and we have more unique features then most if not all other servers. The server is always up and it rarely suffers from lag. So why the lack of support?
To tell you the truth I feel like my hard work is not being appreciated and this discourages me from giving my best and other GMs like Palk and Eala are starting to feel the same way.
DreamerRO has been up for well over 3 years now...During this time we were:
We have even added an annoying ass pop up to the patcher to see if it gets people to leave a review while they patch but this has also failed but players simply don't give a damn and they just want to start playing already.
I've seen many of you sitting in town for hours or browsing the forums posting in off-topinc, count to 1 million topics...Wasting your time when you could use that same time to help DreamerRO grow for literally the next 6 months.
In conclusion..
If the GM team sacrifices half of their day to answer your questions, fix bugs, add new things and keep you entertained...Do you think it's fair that players can't spend 5 minutes and help the server they play for hours every day? Like really, 5 freaking minutes is too much to ask for?
I know this topic won't make a difference to many of you. You will simply read it and go back to playing or lurking the forums and keep whining about changes you'd like to see or errors getting fixed. I just hope this topic serves as a wake up call to some of you.
Seriously, I cannot believe servers with 30 people online are getting more reviews than us. I'm very disappointed and frustrated and I really need the players to show me that they really care about the server.
I strongly believe the server could reach 1,000 players online once again, I know the GM team is doing what they need to do to make this happen...All we need is the community's support to get there.
Thank you and I hope to see the difference soon.

DreamerRO has been up for well over 3 years now...During this time we were:
- Ranked 1 on Ratemyserver for 2.5 years now we're rank 3 and falling down the ranks to servers with 1/10th our population.
- Ranked top 3 in ALL TopGamingSites now we are ranked 10-13th falling down to servers with 1/10th our population.

DreamerRO Development Team is Hiring!
GM Palk on 19 December 2011 - 10:04 PM 18 Comments
Hello, Dreamers!
As you all might have noticed, we wish to always implement new things, but our skills are either not enough to complete our vision or we do not have enough time to commit to a new project. This has been a problem we've been dealing with for the past year.
However, I decided to revive an old idea from a few years ago; that is, the formation of a development team centered on creating new things to be implemented in DreamerRO. This is not as easy as it sounds, however.
These are the kinds of people who we are looking for:
Those kinds of people.
People on the Development Team will be creating things for the server. They will also be tasked with modifying and fixing up old scripts or projects already implemented in the server. They will be given a few special privileges for this purpose.
To that end, we have prepared a special application for interested players to fill out:
If you are interested in applying to the development team, please fill this application out and send it to my inbox no later than December 26th, 11:59:59 PM.
Please note that this is not a special position within the game, and you will not receive any extra benefits in there while a Development Team member unless otherwise stated.
