qRO Officially Going Offline

[Yoon]

To no one's surprise, the qRO staff have announced that both qRO LR and HR servers will be shutting down tomorrow or the day after. Kev announced this on the qRO forums:

Unfortunately, Smug informed me yesterday evening (3 days past the server due dates) that we don't have enough money because a lot of people charged back their donations (I wonder why). So right now the servers will probably be null-routed today or tomorrow at best (webserver will be online for 2-3 weeks more).

Basically, both server's will go down tomorrow or day after, and the forums will go down in a couple of weeks.

Thank you all for being a part of this server for so long. We wish everyone g'luck for the future.

hmmm... does that mean we'll still have WoE tomorrow? XD

I'm sad to see it go, but it's not like everyones dying or anything. We still have other things to do and we can go to a different server (as has obviously happened).

btw, I saw Kengi at his usual spot in Morroc... in LRO XD. Looks like we still get to abuse him.

If the server is still up on Saturday (since the server will shut down either today or tomorrow), WoE may still go on as scheduled. The server will probably shut down immediately after WoE ends.

[GM]Raveux has posted his final announcement on the qRO forums last night:

Ok, there it is, Rave's final announcement.

I wanted to thanks everyone that helped us making this huge project. Aside from me and frosty who started the initial project, Gona helped us very much at this time, same for all the polish gang with Tien and Taishi. And Smug who always took care of the money and advertisements for us from the beginning, finding us our first server from a friend of us. init_null who helped us making the software a lot more stable than it was done by eAthena team. Yor, for making this great software that we used as long as he did it. Aalie, Ashley, Jaime, Kakashi, Troll, Explosive, those people being the best admins we could count on everytime we needed help. All the GMs that passed by ... that weren't fired ( or failed tests. )

And you, reading this post, for giving us this great opportunity of having the <CENSORED> BEST SERVER around for more than 3 years. And for reading everything I've been writing while I was drunk and in-game.
Thank you, I'll never forget you.

And finaly, to all the stupid motherfuckers who tried to hack us, or deliberatly fucked us while being GMs or Moderators or just stupid dumbasses. <CENSORED> you, and may you burn in hells *INSERT-BOTTER-NAME*.

To this server, I raise my whisky glass, may this last drink make me drunk to remember all this good time one last time !

P.S. I'm sorry I didn't have whisky left in my bar, I took some brandy instead. Thanks god for this holy alcohol !
