    Existence Ragnarok Online Nov 26th News

    Posted by Rena Ryuuguu - Nov 26 2012 09:21 PM

    Hello, New members:

    Welcome to existencero. The server is new and I would like to ask that member give it a chance and stay on. Its hard for a server to grow if everybody just logs on and expect population to be huge Right off the back especially with a new server. If everybody just give it a chance and logs in and greets new player we can have a large population quickly. We are not a fly by server that will die over night. We have experience with servers and we ran a previous RO server for over 5 years. We are also very proficient with scripting , mapping, spiriting and modifications. ExRO is ran on a dedicated server and the website and forums are on a VPS.

    Have fun and enjoy the server

    Existence Ragnarok Online Hotfix Updates

    Posted by Fafnir Deurus - Sep 28 2012 12:29 AM

    I found some problems when we switched into Ragnarok Online Renewal with certain NPC's not working properly because of some code changes. So tonight I applied some patches to fix these problems. I also made some changes to improve market to make it a more useful place to hang out and applied a hotfix to a broken weapon from the Eden Group in ragnarok.

    //NPC's Added to Existence Ragnarok Online
    Added a universal npc to market.
    Added black marketeer and the merchant buyout npc's in market.
    Added a duplicate Avek level 4 weapon slotter to market.
    Adding Warper's and market sign's to newer area's missing them.
    Added a warper to the auction house.
    Added a market tour guide.

    //NPC's Changes to Existence Ragnarok Online
    Changed Market sign it is now responsive "go market".
    Changed Midnight's name to Midnight Uncarder so that people know he can uncard items for you.
    Changed the market sign a responsive NPC and changed the warp position to a static location to the spot that has the warper.

    //NPC's Fixed in Existence Ragnarok Online
    Fixed Shops in market to use proper npc's.

    //Database hotfixes
    Fixed Eden Dagger from missing matk bonus

    We will continue to work on the newer server update which will provide more skill fixes.

    We thank everyone who played a role in reporting bugs that allowed us to fix them for the server!



    Existence Ragnarok Online Moving To Renewal

    Posted by Fafnir Deurus - Jul 23 2012 10:54 PM

    We finally are making the switch from pre-renewal to renewal. The server has been down while we make this transition but we are in the last stages of finalizing the move to renewal. The overall testing to the server went really well and we are really excited to finally be able to make the move without the loss of our customizations. All of the previous features you saw before will be included in this new update. With the addition of some much needed improvements to the Ragnarok Online system such as improvements to the lag attacking that monsters used to do in area's like prison. You also don't have to worry about the Ragnarok Online Renewal drop system we will not be using the drop reduction.

    The new Existence Ragnarok Online Client:

    We will be providing a new client for this version because the login packets for Ragnarok have been changed as well as the style of many of the normal tabs. I updated the client and optimized it making it smaller removing files which were not being used and fixing broken headgears.

    Existence Ragnarok Online Features:

    * We still have the PK system and its working the same as it was before.
    * The banker is still there and functioning for the extended special storage per character as well as the shared bank.
    * The donation girl is working fine and has been tested.
    * Patched and fixed the poring point kafra for the shop items.
    * Capture the flag has been tested and is working again.
    * Mortal Kombat Arena has been fixed and is working.
    * The basic's for the adding of the custom pets have been added to the client.
    * The mecenary system works properly with the PKing system.

    New client for Vista/Win 7

    Posted by Rena Ryuuguu - Sep 03 2011 03:14 AM

    We found a fix the problems with windows 7 and Vista where UAC and not having the proper privilages affected player's clients.

    Problems like:

    loggin off and getting lau error
    shortcut keys not saving
    cant login to the server
    patcher gives error and wont start.

    these are just a couple off the top of my head.

    The solution is basically not to install game in the "program files" directory.

    For everyone that doesn't want to redownload the client. But are still having issues with this. You can simply cut and paste you EXRO folder to main directory of c:/
    example  c:/games/EXRO/.

    Then you have to change the location where the shortcut points to.


    OR you can simply redownload the client. Which contains new directory and all the KRO and Existence Ragnarok Online updates till today.

    Note Windows XP user can use the new client it wont affect XP user either way.
