13.1 Ash Vacuum!
06/09/2009
We have a Bit Torrent Standalone patch for this update 13.1 Standalone Patch.

We also have a FTP Standalone 13.1 patch which should be faster than going through the patcher.

With todays maintenance we have updated all iRO servers to 13.1! For information on this update please visit our 13.1 Information page.

A short list of 13.1 contents: new quests, new high end contents, new areas, new KVM PVP, new Instances, new Guild Dungeons for the WoE 2 castles. This is one of the bigger updates that have happened in a while!

Also we have added the 2nd Weeks update to our anniversary quest! Good luck and happy journey completing it.


Anniversary investigation.
06/02/2009
It has been 6 Years since iRO has officially opened its doors to the world. And what a great time we`ve had. New updates, new friends, new additions to the world have all added to the world that is Rune Midgard.

This year we want to celebrate parts of that journey, both to remind our citizens of where they have been, and to share those memories with those that weren`t there the first time around. From June 2nd - June 30, 2009 we will celebrate Ragnarok Online!

This years anniversary event will evolve a little bit each week, with a new stage and prizes being added. The pivotal focus is with D. Ver the investigator in Prontera, near the Upgrade shop, he is concerned about all the old areas spontaneously reverting to the way they were years ago. If you choose to help him, be sure to return every week to help him some more, and to experience those areas with your friends.

This questline can be completed with a party, due to the Quest mission setup, so get a big group and have fun!

Also the old Anniversary prizes, Baseball Cap, Bag on Head and Purple Cowboy hat all have +15% exp bonus applied to monster slaying, and the Pirate`s Dagger has a respectable 10% exp bonus! And don`t worry if you don`t have those items, you will get another chance to acquire them with this event! Plus something new and special awaits towards the end of the Anniversary celebration!

Thank you for the many continued years of fun and games!


Spring Time is here!

Spring Time is here!

What a wonderful time of year this is. The weather is nice, the Sakuras are in bloom,
and smiles come just a little easier. A visitor to Payon has a special task for adventurers
to undertake. Captain Feles is in the Archer Village and wishes to talk to you!
The Kafra gals are especially relaxed as well, so relaxed, in fact,
that a mishap has occurred at the packaging plant. It seems that
someone forgot to restock the box materials to make a Lucky Box
or Happy Box. Sera, the creator of the new
Gemini Crown and Gemini Diadem,
was very sad at this because her work would not be enjoyed by adventurers.
So it was agreed that the Gemini Pair would be sold directly in the
Kafra shop from May 19 - June 2nd, and Sera rejoiced!

It seems that the relaxed atmosphere also causes some lackadaisical
magicians to miss their mark a bit as well. The Mage academy was working
on a magical enhancement item to improve the Experience and drop rate
of items from hunting monsters. It seems an unexpected side effect has
occurred. Instead of just that item being enhanced, it seems that all Monsters the world
over were enhanced.

So from May 19 - May 26 all Monsters will be at 150% normal experience
and 150% normal droprate
. By the 26th the Mages should have this straightened out. But
it seems for one apprentice mage that wait wasn`t good enough, and in trying to fix his colleagues
mistake he has effected the entire stock of Battle Manuals and Bubble Gum the world over!

Normally Battle Manuals make experience gaining be 150% as efficient,
for this week May 19 - May 26 the enhancement will be 200%!
And Bubble Gum makes drop rate be 200% of normal, for this week
May 19 - May 26 the enhancement will be 300%!

This effects all the stock the Kafra gals still have as well as what Adventurers
have in their storage and inventory.

The Mage guild has offered its sincerest apologies to all the monsters the world over
for the inevitable intrusion of Adventurers into their homes this week.

Enjoy!
