Greetings citizens of the republic! On October 11, 2020 at 1:00 AM (Server Time - GMT+8), we will be conducting a server maintenance which will require a complete server shut down in order to safely perform and implement updates and fixes to the server files. Below are few of the updates included in this scheduled maintenance. New Weapons Revamped Weapons Activated a few monster drops New Quests New game features Added items Feature improvements Script optimization and upgrades Bugs and fixes Some website updates and fixes. The server's engines will be shut down for about 4-8 hours which includes both implementation and testing. We urge you to log off beforehand to avoid account related issues and make all the necessary preparations.

No. Keep the badges. I actually mentioned in the statement that they will not become useless. When we re-launch, you'll still be able to use them.

Greetings citizens, Several map server crashes has brought the Battlegrounds PvP System to our Tech & Dev Team’s attention. After investigating the map crash, we have determined the cause and have no choice but to remove the system completely. We found that a large part of the source code was no longer compatible with our currently updated files. This is an example of a major issue in our recent update of the source and client files because random map crashes could potentially cause irreversible damage to the database. Unfortunately, fixing the cause of the issue would mean re-coding the entire system from scratch which would take too much time. Removing it completely is our only choice. Battlegrounds will be back! If you’ve been an avid RO gamer over the past few years, you may have noticed that other servers still have a fully working Battlegrounds System with their updated emulator and client. We have decided to replace our current BG System with a brand new one with even more game modes and cool features. The re-launch will not be any time soon due to the amount of preparation and planning that needs to go into this re-launch. We’ve also decided to perform custom modifications to the Battlegrounds System when we re-launch so expect a more DarkRO feel to it when it’s back. Lastly, your Battleground Badges will not become useless. When we re-launch, they will still be the exact same currency you can earn by participating. We hope you all understand the necessity of the removal of this feature in-line with our goal to make a better DarkRO. Thank you and may the force be with you!

WoE Participation Time can be claimed in Prontera's NPC before the next WoE, otherwise the points will be lost. Rewards are now delivered by mail when claimed in Prontera's NPC, ending the issue of full inventories not receiving it.

Greetings citizens of the republic! On September 4, 2020 at 10:00 PM (Server Time - GMT+8), we will be conducting a server maintenance which will require a complete server shut down in order to safely perform and implement updates and fixes to the server files. Below are few of the updates included in this scheduled maintenance. Major Source File Update Our source files used to lack a version which means that we cannot simply update to the latest. We recruited the help of the emulator devs themselves and manually updated all files 1 by 1 and converted literally thousands of lines of codes and functions to the latest. Now, our files are updated to a version in late August 2020 which means the next source file update will be easier and straightforward. Client Update We have updated the client to the latest 2018 version that supports custom jobs. This includes several new features that we may no longer be able to list down due to the huge jump from 2013. Upgraded Server Host Upgraded Proxy Host The proxies will be removed and slowly be replaced one by one as we schedule more updates. Please post your location on this thread so we'll know what proxy locations to add. Client Security Upgrade New Client Patcher Gepard Update New Instance Upgraded Equipment Set (Tier System) Upgraded versions with added effects. Revamped Items New Items Bug Fixes & Improvements Due to the Source File Update mentioned above, a lot of Bug Reports and known issues may have already been fixed or updated. The same applies to Suggestions as new features are already included. Along with this update, we've decided to temporarily change the War of Emperium's duration to 1 Hour until the next scheduled maintenance to test the overall performance of these changes. If all goes well, we'll proceed with a few more content updates and resume the Guild of the Month event. The server's engines will be shut down for about 3-6 hours which includes both implementation and testing. We urge you to log off beforehand to avoid account related issues and make all the necessary preparations. For guild leaders, we advise you to check your castles and break your treasure boxes beforehand to avoid any spawn issues. We have assigned C-3PO to assist in creating the patch notes and I will be posting his list as soon as the server is back up and self-sustaining. Please take the time to rest or join us in our official communications channels.

As soon as we're done with this overhaul, we'd be updated to the latest emulator release today. However, we are not a server that follows releases per episode. For example in Episode 14.3, the official iRO released the Bank System but we already have that. In episode 14.1, they added the Costume System but we already have that. Our server is a unique pre-renewal with our very own spin on it. We take what's best from the officially release updates, try our best to balance that with our current state and release it as its own feature. We also have renewal content but we don't use most of it. We'll probably never ever add 3rd jobs but we may take the renewal instances and items and give them a DarkRO twist. Donation for other jobs? Maybe. We don't have one listed for now but we are not opposed to it. The next content update should cover a few items already and we'll do more as we go. Please report this as a bug. Include all possible evidence and details you've got so we can easily recreate it and locate the issue. Lag is mostly caused by your ISP. Currently, we have a major issue with framerates dropping especially during WoE. Players call this FPS Drop and this is the main reason why we're taking huge steps to hopefully improve that.

Greeting Citizens, Previously, we announced the postponement of the GOTM Event due to the FPS Drop measures that we needed to prioritize over everything else. This prioritization now includes the next regular maintenance and content update. Things have been going well behind the scenes so far so here’s an update of our progress and information regarding it that you should all understand. Use the Force, Luke! We did for more than a month already! It was never announced in public but we were already having our server files completely updated all this time. The previous sorry state of the internal files posed a serious threat to the server’s stability every time we modified something for a maintenance or a bug report due to its age being older than Maz Kanata and the lack of a version number. We reached out to the core emulator developers and recruited their support for this major overhaul. It took some time and effort to convince them but we were successful and if all goes according to plan, we should be able to finish the update in a week more or less. Tests will be conducted internally at first then public testing will follow. The same has been done to the client. We’ve already obtained the latest stable RO client that allows custom jobs. We think that it’s safe to say that we are the first ever server to have obtained such a client that supports custom jobs. With that said, this is already considered a major update. In a way, we’ve upgraded our steam-powered car into a modern electric powered vehicle. We need you to understand that other things will need to be delayed so we can test whether the new updates are stable with the entire population using it. Once we’re convinced that things are smooth, we’ll continue with more FPS Drop measures followed by the planned content updates and the GOTM. Please note that this does not guarantee a total removal of the FPS Drop issue but we are hopeful that these updates will improve your in-game experience significantly. We also expect that this update will take care of a lot of already reported bugs, cheats, bots and issues because they would have already been dealt with in the past several years. More news of our progress will be posted soon! Thank you for your understanding and patience. May the force be with you all! - DarkRO: Rebirth Tech Team
