Hey people, I want to share this tutorial I made to run your own Ragnarok server, fast and easy in a couple of minutes, hope you find it informative and enjoy!

The only thing people agree on is that the official ro is not good and that mobile games should be avoided like the plague.

Every other MMO I know has "preferred" private servers, yet I can never find a definitive answer from this community

People say UARO but then get downvoted into oblivion by people who don't seem to have an answer as to WHAT SERVER THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY PLAY.

I tried making a post about this server a few days ago, but it got removed because I made it in a rush, so here goes.

I have been playing at Nightmare RO for about a month or two. It has been one of the best servers I played. Ever. Do note that it's a fully custom server, so it might not be for everyone. But I think it really captures the essence of RO, even if it has completely different gameplay loop from the original game. The progression and gameplay loop is really satisfying. As it has so many changes and new systems, it would be too long to list everything here, but I will talk about the the main changes:

-Fully Custom - Every skill and class, monster, gear, cards, gameplay loop is changed. If you played or heard about PRM (Project of Morroc) it is similar to that.

- MVP altars - Very different from the normal mvp hunting experience from most servers. Here, there's an "altar system" - essentialy you hunt certain items from champion mobs in certain maps so you can summon the MVP from that map; MVP hunting start at level 30 and go all the way to max level. That also means that the progression is very satisfying, as low level character have powerful gear to go for early on, coupled from the fact that gear and card from mvp's are set to 5% drop rate.

- Explore, explore, explore - As most things are custom, there is a lot to learn and explore. Tons of secret quests and systems.

- Nightmare Dungeons and Challenge dungeons - Tied to the overall lore of the server, there are different types of dungeons, each with its own mechanics and gear necessary to progress through. Nightmare Dungeons are much harder than the "Overworld", but with specialized gear you will be 10x stronger too; Challenge Dungeons act as high-tier endgame content where.

- Community is friendly and helpful. It is, however, sadly very low pop. I would say 10 to 100 online players (not counting merchants). This is one of the reasons for me posting here, as I would like to see the server grow. The dev is also very active and you can see it's a passion project for him.

Cons: Low-pop, there are constant changes, which may not sit well with everyone. The server sometimes suffer from lag spikes. Balance is a mixed bag, some classes feel really strong, while others are kind of weak.

I love this game and I'll try to RE and recompile it to play single-player, but I need the files. By any chance, does anyone still have it installed on PC? If you could upload it to Google Drive, I would be really grateful.

I play in iRO Chaos. I'm currently trying to take down just 600% Betelgeuse solo and I'm having the hardest time. I'm using my IG Cross Rain build. Phase 1 is easy enough, he goes down easy, phase 2, he becomes invulnerable for some reason, I can't deal any damage. I've scoured the web for any guides on how to beat him but I only see videos of people showing off how they kill him in 10 seconds, no guides whatsoever. Can somebody help me please? Thank you very much!

LOL i been playing this game for so long... theres so many new things im so lost. anyone wanna teach me?
