🚀 OriginRO: World of Dreams – Roadmap 2025

✨ Dear Dreamers, welcome to an exciting journey through OriginRO: World of Dreams 2025! 🚀
Our world is rooted in the nostalgic charm of Classic Ragnarok Online, infused with the progression-driven spirit of ☄️ RE:START (opens in a new tab), reimagined as a Revamped-Classic experience. 🌍

🌟 What Makes OriginRO Unique?

• 🎯 Revamped-Classic Focus:
  Experience Pre-Renewal mechanics with select Renewal features for balance and quality of life:

  • Classic Mobs & Mechanics up to Episode 13.2.
  • Renewal Mechanics beyond Episode 13.2 (where applicable).
  • Expanded content, featuring 2-1 Classes and Expanded Classes at launch.

• 🗺 Progression Inspired by RE:START:
  OriginRO takes cues from RE:START’s progression system with regular episodic updates, recreating the sense of discovery as new dungeons, monsters, and features unfold over time.

🌐 About Ragnarok RE:START

Ragnarok RE:START took players back to 2003 with a progression server that evolved monthly.
Players could relive the thrill of unlocking new content just like the original days of Ragnarok Online.

• Classic mechanics blended with modern quality-of-life features:
  RODEX, Achievements, Replay System, Navigation, Costume System, and more.
• A focus on the player-driven economy, rare item trading, and customizable gear/stat builds.
• Monthly updates introduced new classes, dungeons, and balance changes to keep gameplay fresh.

🌙 World of Dreams builds upon this foundation, offering a more refined Revamped-Classic experience for both veterans and newcomers.

⚙️ Game Mechanics Overview

OriginRO’s mechanics are a fusion of Classic systems with selective Renewal enhancements to create a balanced, yet nostalgic experience.

⚜️ Classic Mechanics:

• Static EXP Tables:
  EXP from monsters is static, based on the classic database.
  • Rumored classic EXP curve (e.g., ~250 million EXP from 98→99 on World of Dreams).
  • Adjusted leveling curves to provide a more balanced grind.
• Classic Monster HP & Stats:
  Monsters retain their original HP, attack patterns, and stats from pre-renewal data.
• Field Spawns:
  RE:START-inspired spawn locations with balanced drop rates and field mechanics.

⚡ Renewal Influences:

• Element Damage Tables:
  Retaining the depth of element interactions for strategic gameplay.
• ATK/mATK Mechanics:
  Damage formulas based on Renewal calculations, balancing weapon and card effectiveness.
• Hit/Flee Adjustments:
  Modified mechanics using the formula:
  [(Renewal Monster Level) - (Classic Monster Level) = X]
  [(Renewal Hit/Flee) - (X) = Adjusted Hit/Flee for OriginRO]
• Defense & Healing Equations:
  Defense values balanced to prevent extreme tankiness.
  Healing formulas tweaked to offer rewarding support roles without overpowering INT scaling.
• Casting System:
  Fixed cast times removed for a smoother casting experience, encouraging diverse stat builds.
• Gear & Weapon Refines:
  Enhanced refining system allowing upgrades beyond +10 with improved rates.
• Monster Drops:
  Adjusted loot tables (e.g., Strawberry drops) for a balanced economy.
