FAQ

1. Can my information be removed from the page?
   
   No. The site is designed to be a complete database of all RO players. As such we will not make any exceptions.
   
   
2. I'm worried about the security of my account and characters.
   
   There's no reason to be. We aren't keeping secrets, everything we know about game characters is on display at this time. Its impossible for us to know your account name or login information, or even your internet IP address.
   
   
3. How does it work?
   
   ROPD gathers information by intercepting player packet information from the server. We do not have any access to the game database.
   
   
4. Then how do you know my level and equipment?
   
   A characters level, the display sprite of your three headgear slots, and your left and right hand equipment is sent to the game client when ever it enters view of another player. This is to facilitate the game client to properly display characters.
   
   
5. How can you tell my alternate characters?
   
   Each player has a unique identifier, in which all your characters share. Using this we can tell what characters are your alternates.
   
   
6. What information do you not have?
   
   We can't tell exactly what headgear you have, just the sprite it uses. Any cards you have in your equipment, items, inventory, and all your characters stats also will remain a secret.
   
   
7. Some of my characters are not in the database. How come?
   
   We have trained professionals traveling the world of Midgard searching and finding new players and characters. At times though we may have issues finding you, or you simply may have not logged that character for a while.
   
   
8. What happens if I name change or delete a character?
   
   Any character that has its name changed or deleted will remain in the database. That means that if you change your characters name you may actually see both your old and new characters. Characters that have been inactive or not seen after a long period of time will be marked, but never be removed. We are sorry if players had received a name change and do not want their information to be noticed but we cannot make any exceptions at this time.
   
   
9. What about Gravity? What is your relation with them?
   
   ROPD has not been approved by Gravity, nor would we expect them to approve of such a player database. However, we feel that the data gathered has been done so legitimately and can be used to improve the game community. We wish to see ROPD become one of many tools that players use to interact with the game. We do however appologize to the gravity staff for the increased support requests that this site may create.
   
   
10. What plans do you have for ROPD in the future?
    
    While we are happy with the current state of ROPD, we will continue to refine and improve the site. We are looking into the possibilities of tracking vend and item sale information, but there are no guarantees.
