Black Talon
Oh boy, where to even begin seriously...
I've literally been running/working on RO servers for a good 4+ years now. Long history indeed, but not all parts of that history are necessarily good.
Everything from the very first day that I walked into Prontera to answering the latest support tickets are all part of that history. There have been some really good times, (I'm sure a lot of the "veterans" who have been with me for years will know what I'm talking about) and some ugly times as well (many of you probaby know/remember some "incidents" that put us all through some tough times).
Regardless of whether this history I speak of had good or bad times, they're all quintessential parts that add up to everyone's experience, including my own. All that experience is what makes TalonRO what it is today.
Whether it's the talented GM team that currently provides our players with the best RO experience or the robust community that defines TalonRO and provides it with vitality, we're all part of one big family here. The RO experience begins with that fellowship that bonds us all together.
Your experience on TalonRO is only limited to what you want to make of it. History is defined by combining those experiences and sharing them with others. Impossible truly is nothing here.
Welcome to TalonRO.
GM Shiris
Well hello there!
Defining my job is a little difficult; I'm a bit of a Peco-of-all-trades. One day, I might be bouncing ideas around with Faith before he develops a new content proposal. The next day, I might be running through the scripts and source to help Boreas squash a bug or test a new feature. Still the next, I may be brainstorming with Seiren for the next big event.
All the while, I'll be wandering around in the shadows and out in the open in-game, getting an up-close feel for how our changes and updates are affecting the gameplay and our community. That means you guys!
In short, I'm a go-between -- a liaison, basically -- and your go-to Peco for anything staff-related. If you don't know where to go with a question or problem, go to me! Either I'll know how to help right offhand, or I'll be able to point you in the direction of who can instead.
Communication is important for all parts of a server and its players, and I try my best to make sure the lines are open for all of us. But whatever you do, just don't ask me to get MSN Messenger! ;)
GM Seiren
As a long-time regular player I always thought up ways to help the server in any way I could. Now that I am a GM, more capabilities to reach my goals are available, which is great!
What I do for the server... is kinda wide-spread! First off, I create most of the graphics and website-related features for the server. Of course this doesn't require daily work (luckily). That's why I also like to write scripts for the server. When I started off, I knew basically nothing about it, but as time went by I learned a lot about developing new server features. TalonRO has been a great learning experience for me!
In-game, I do various things. I try to do events from time to time, answer questions from players, and so on.
Being in close contact with the community of the server is a key part in making a great server. That's what I do, that's what the other GMs do. And that's what I believe makes TalonRO so great.
GM Sushi
Y Halo thar :>
I've been on TalonRO since it started. Before that, I had been playing for quite a while already. While I haven't played every single class in the game and mastered every single thing, I have a good understanding on RO mechanics and a decent knowledge on most of the classes.
You'll probabaly find me in game usually holding some mini events and just generally wandering around. I'll also be lurking around the forums quite a lot. I may not post that much everywhere, but I do check almost every single forum section daily.
I'm not actually that serious of a person, I like to joke around and laugh. Being uptight and formal just isn't something that suits me. I'd much rather just enjoy all the things people do and laugh with them. I'm a person who enjoys company and who enjoys having fun, so if I'm sitting somewhere feel free to come in and chat. Or feel free to try and poke me in PvP, though I'll poke you back too.
Additionally, I like Sushi :>
GM Ires
Hello!
I am GM Ires and one of tRO's event GMs. I will keep it short since you never know when your blurbs will dissappear and you have to write them again~
I have been on tRO since its inception. For the most part I am friendly, but I can sometimes be hotheaded so dont make me angry :D.
Running events is very fun for me, and I always enjoy seeing the players have fun. I always welcome tactiful and constructive criticisms/suggestions, so feel free to give me a shout~
Anyway, see you in game everyone!
GM Watson
Hello! I am GM Watson, one of the newer sub GMs to join the tRO team. As some of you may be possibly somewhat aware of, I've been on tRO since its creation and played for a small while on the server it started from.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, eating waffles, and reading poetry. In news that's not related to my romantic life, I hold events from time to time and enjoy hearing ideas that the community has for our server. Brainstorming with you guys is pretty fun for me as it opens me up to new ideas and it allows me the opportunity to find out what you all are interested in, whether it be a tweak in a current game mechanic or if you just really like turtles. Don't get offended if I start pointing out flaws, it's my main way of finding out how and if an idea can work. The main goal of it all is to make sure that if you plan on posting it on the suggestions area later, that it has as few potential problems as possible, which always ends in better results!
Also, if you see me in town, feel free to come talk to me! I don't bite (except on Thursdays), and I rather enjoy a nice chat. If you can't reach me in-game, send me a message on the forums or through the in-game mail system, I'll respond to it as soon as I get the chance to.
Oh, one more thing: 0111000001100101011011100110011101110101011010010110111001110011
Have fun!
GM Echo
Hiya all, I'm GM Echo one of the Event GMs on TalonRO :3
I'm not an hardcore TalonRO player but I've played Ragnarok "Vanilla style" since the launch of the Europe closed beta. I joined the GM team with the hopes to give you all a great gaming experience to both old and new players. I live in Sweden and therefore English isn't my first language so it can be a little rusty at times. The best part of TalonRO is the people and the social aspect just sitting around chatting, so don't be afraid to sit down and chat with me. I love to arrange events for you guys and I'm trying my best to make every new event my best event ever.
I don't know what you wanna know about me, but I'm a social worker and a network administrator IRL which means that I'm mostly on at the afternoons (GMT+1). I love to learn new stuff and I'm at the moment struggling with learning and perfecting webdesign and php etc. When I'm too lazy to logon TalonRO I'm mostly watching anime and other movies.
Don't let my perverted ways keep you from talking to me :3
Love and catnip, Echo.
GM Macros
Hello there!
I'm GM Macros and I am one of the newest additions to the GM Team here on TalonRO.
I will be in game holding events and offering support to those in need.
If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask me in game or on the TalonRO forum.
I'll see what I can do for you~ ;]
I love to chat and for the most part I'm easy going and friendly. Don't know what else to say.
Give me a shout if you see me in game. I'd love to talk! ;>
