pRO is a progressive Pre-Renewal server. Rather than opening with every map, job and item available, it starts at Episode 1 and unlocks content in the order Ragnarok Online originally released it.

That means the early game is genuinely the early game. Towns you cannot reach yet, jobs that do not exist yet, and items nobody has — not because they are rare, but because their episode has not happened.

Rates will not be raised for events or holidays. If you come back after a month away, the game you left is the game you return to.

Jobs

All six first jobs and their six second-job paths are completable: Swordman into Knight or Crusader, Mage into Wizard or Sage, Archer into Hunter or Bard/Dancer, Acolyte into Priest or Monk, Merchant into Blacksmith or Alchemist, and Thief into Assassin or Rogue.

Jobs from later episodes — and the classes that depend on them — unlock with their episode.

Where you can go

Seven towns and fourteen dungeons, with sixteen MVPs in rotation. Maps beyond Episode 1 exist in the client but are sealed; walking into a warp that has not opened yet will not take you anywhere.

Episodes

Each release un-gates its content across the whole server at once — the maps, the monsters, the jobs, the items and the NPC shops that sell them. Release dates are announced on the News page.

Assist Mode is our automation feature, and it is a paid subscription. We would rather explain it plainly than have you discover it and wonder what kind of server this is.

It lets your character fight, loot, use potions, sit to recover and return to town on its own, within limits you configure. It exists because the alternative on a 1x server is third-party botting software, which we cannot see, cannot limit, and cannot tax.

What it does not do

• It does not make your character stronger. It plays the same character with the same gear at the same rates.
• It does not run while you are offline. Your client stays connected.
• It does not bypass costs. It pays Kafra storage fees and boat fares like anyone else.

Tiers

A free tier covers basic potion use. Paid tiers add combat automation, more monster filters and more skill slots. Tier limits are enforced by the server, not the client.

Fair play

Anti-cheat is active on every connection. Assist Mode is the sanctioned way to automate; anything else is not, and is grounds for a ban. See Rules & Policies.

High-value items route through a controlled Marketplace channel rather than direct player-to-player trade, and each sale carries a flat zeny tax. The point is to keep a visible, taxable market instead of pushing trades into private deals and real-money selling.

Ordinary items trade normally. The restriction applies to a defined list of high-value equipment and cards.
