Server Info
ROCreed is a very young Ragnarok server aiming to create a server focused on player versus player interaction (along with guild vs guild of course). To achieve this we've increased LEVELING rates only, not drop rates; our goal is to bring the rates just to the amount where the game no longer feels like grinding, but without removing the need to hunt for good items.
This is currently our "BETA" season where me and the others on my team are running though the game on different jobs and collecting any bugs we run into. However we are new to Ragnarok server hosting and the emulator, this is not our first private server though. We are not looking for people to completely run our server with us, we want to learn along with you so we can contribute just as much as every other member on the team.
Even though this is a "PVP" server we want to expand on the game's content (and I say that very seriously). The game will be released in Seasons which will each be major updates to the game which include new features. These are custom releases like new Classes, Maps, Quest Line, System, and additions to all the current ones.
When we launch Season 1 we would like to have our first custom addition launched, we're aiming low but ambitious just the same! Season 1 will be known as "The 7 Deadly Sins" and will include a new race of homunculi known as Sin. (Indeed there is an anime related inspiration for this.)
Lastly before getting into each job I would like to note that we are looking for contributors willing to work for free. HOWEVER our server runs a Cash Shop for non-pay2win items to make an income. This income will ONLY be spent on improving the server, NOT hosting costs. We own a VPS that will never require us to take from the players to keep running, we will never have an unexpected shutdown from not paying the bill. We promise. So that "improving" the server can be put as payment for work you've done with the server. (Me, the Server OP, and Head GM will never take a payment for our work.)

Traits Wanted: English Speaking, Friendly, Team Player, Dedicated, Artistic (obviously haha)
Do note this job will have a good bit of work with the custom work being implemented in Season 1. I can guarantee at least 7 Homunculi sprites, 1 map, & 1 mob sprite (these will be things that will push server donation money your way asap).

Event GM (5 Max)
Note: We already have a GM who is the "Head GM". He's been playing RO for MANY years and is very experienced at the game. All GMs will report to him with anything concerning their job or concerns.
Knowledge Wanted: Vast knowledge of GM Commands, Official Events, and General Gameplay. Knowing any released custom events is a plus (do tell and we'll add them into server if at all possible).
Traits Wanted: These are VERY important and serious for this position, please consider carefully if you fit these traits.

Traits Wanted: These are VERY important and serious for this position, please consider carefully if you fit these traits.
- FRIENDLY - Do you get along with others nicely? Do you try to lend a hand when at all possible? Do you respond when people attempt to start conversation?
- HELPFUL - Do you like to assist people? Have you ever refused to help someone simply because you weren't in the mood?
- HONESTY - If you plan to attempt to apply to this position so you can abuse @item or similar commands, please know we keep a vast log, that we do check regularly. Abusing this position is an IP ban from our server. Plus I will send warnings about you to other Server hosts if I deem you may be attempting to do this on multiple servers.
- TEAM PLAYER - Can you get along working with others? Do you enjoy having people you know you can rely on when needed?
- ACTIVE - This position really requires a good bit of activity on the server. Players NEED you. To some you're something be idolized, to others your a friend, to some you might just be the guy that keeps the fun events happening. Either way, they need you and so does the team. Without Event GMs there would be no Ragnarok.
Forum Mod (2 Max)
Let's be honest... at this point in beta we don't need a forum mod, not until the web developer gets FluxCP to work and sets up forums. But hey! When we do we would love to have you ready and on the team!
This position is easy, simply apply for it and send me links to you in any position on any forum (even member) and I will search though your posts and see if you're friendly/helpful to the community.
Thank you.

Welp that's all the positions. If you'd like to apply for one please contact me via Hercules Mail system or via Skype (Sky D. Copeland or sethreaper), just make sure to make your add contact reason "ROCreed" or something similar. Feel free to use Skype simply to ask questions as well if you're up in the air about joining the team.
----------------------------------- BELOW THIS IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION & ANSWERS TO PRE-ASSUMED QUESTIONS
So I think people will have some basic questions...
Q- If the scriptor's make a custom script for ROCreed can they release it to Hercules Releases without your permission? If so can they do it free?
A- Hmmm... Well that depends on really just 1 thing, did I want them to make the script specifically for my server? if so I plan to pay them when I can from the donation money for their time. If I didn't request it specifically as something I wanted just on my server or they simply made it to add to server because they thought it'd be cool then I am completely fine with it. I would LOVE to have this server to contribute to the Hercules community.
Q- Will the Customs be released?
A- I can't really give a straight answer... will the Homunculi for The 7 Deadly Sins update (Season 1) be released? At a point, yes I will release to Hercules community everything the team made for it, even though I plan to pay them for it. Will this be immediately after my server launches them? No. I'll wait until we have worked it all out. No errors, exploits, balanced correctly, etc... then maybe a month or two after? I'll never launch a Season without releasing the previous Season's features to Hercules.
Q- If multiple members of the team have done something the team deems "needing donation payment asap", who will be paid first?
A- Say there are 3 members that did such tasks. (Perhaps 2 gfx members did things for Season 1 & 1 scriptor who wrote the codes that will make the Homunculi work) And that there is 30$ in the donation pool. I will ask each of them (all together) what each of them think should be their pay for the work. We will all try to come to an agreement there that will satisfy all the team members. Perhaps one 1 gfx decided he/she only wanted 5$ the other 10 and the scriptor only wanted 5, well they left 10$ in there for future payments! haha
Q- So the servers income is a cash shop? Being PVP don't cash shops break the fairness?
A- No! Thanks to awesomeness I can put things in the cash shop that have no real effect to give advantage to one player or another. Such items are Name Change Card, Mounts, Costumes (new ids that have no boosts), Custom Guild Emblem, Special Font (30day item), etc....
Again, any questions or concerns please post in thread or contact me via Skype.
Thank you!
