While datamining and reverse engineering the latest kRO client I found some interesting new parts in it.

There is a new checkbox in the character creation screen indicating the character to be a hardcore character.

If you create a hardcore character you need to confirm it's a hardcore character and if it dies you can't play it anymore and loose all items in the characters inventory. The character select will show a text and an icon to indicate a hardcore character

.

If your character dies ingame, you don't have the option to respawn but you will see what enemy killed you.

Hardcore characters are still visible in the character select showing the tomb sprite.

If you try to enter the game with that character it will only show a information about the death.

This feature is not active yet, but it seems like gravity is planning to add a hardcore more like in Diablo or Path of Exile to the game. We currently have no information about a possible release date.

In the next few weeks I will add a limit to the api requests. It will be something like 2500 requests per hour.

If you are currently using the api, think about caching the data. If you know you will need more than 2500 requests because your service requires uncached results, please contact me in discord so we can talk about it.

Most of the current api users will never reach the limit, but there are a few users who will receive a "Rate limit exceed" message when using the api.

Gravity published a small sneak peek for the upcoming developer notes.

There are barricades and some rooms look like there is a good spot for the emperium.

There could be elemental towers players can "build".

This could be a hint for a new episode for the siege war: fourth edition.

I am glad to announce we finally were able to get a license from Gravity for hosting our own official Ragnarok Online.
divine-pride Ragnarok Online will start with some special features

• UTF-8 Client, so you are able to write all languages in chat

Head over to Hazyforest - EP19 guide to get all this cool information!

Thank you very much for the effort!

I just pushed a new update to divine-pride.net. This will bring a few changes

• You can now switch on the monster detail page to see different server types, changing the monster stats, the drops. Skill usage and spawn is planned for the future. The last selected one is saved and used the next time you access a monster page if you are logged in.
• Renamed Location with Subtype in armor and costume search
• Added the real Location to armor and costumes, so you are now able to filter by Upper/Middle/Lower headgear. These options will search for any location including the selected one, even if the item covers more locations (Upper + Middle)
• The skill api will now include the technical key, like SM_BASH
• Api requests got their performance improved a bit
• Fixed low level monsters not showing up in the search

Gravity plans to release new expanded job changes in 2021. Currenly we don't have much information about these.

Episode 18.1 went live last week on kRO main servers. The community worked hard to gather information about the update including guides, translating items and datamining monsters.

After succeeding in analyzing the Illusion's power in Varmundt's Mansion, your journey takes you to back to the capital of Arunafeltz to uncover a societal division among its people. Rachel was founded by the missionaries who immigrated and preached the Goddess Freyja. However, faith did not resolve the conflicts between the migrants and the natives.

Gravity finally released the 4th class job sprites!

Their maximum level is 250 and they will add new "status points"

Some animations can be found in their youtube video.

The thai version of ragnarok on switched the publisher and we just added the patching monitor for it. Welcome to the family
