After a long wait by fans, Ragnarok: The New World has finally officially launched its servers and invites players to enter a new era of RO adventures. Enthusiasm for the game was already palpable during the Carnival festival on July 5, and now players can immediately explore the new world, which is now fully open.
At its official launch, Ragnarok: The New World not only features the eight basic job classes already familiar to RO players, but also introduces the brand-new Druid class, which is available to play right from day one. To celebrate the server launch, the team has also prepared various Grand Opening events with attractive item rewards, ranging from permanent benefits and exclusive costumes to the chance to win special merchandise.
BABYMONSTER Liven Up the Carnival Ahead of Their Official Launch
Before the official server launch, the Carnival festival held on July 5 served as a key moment to build excitement leading up to the release of Ragnarok: The New World. The event was a lively celebration featuring a variety of entertainment, including a spectacular fashion show performed by cosplayers.
Not only that, but the Carnival stage was also enlivened by a performance from the popular band Three Man Down and the five members of the boy group Perses, who put on an energetic show. However, one of the biggest surprises of the night came in the form of a special performance by the global girl group BABYMONSTER.
BABYMONSTER’s appearance successfully heated up the atmosphere and became an unforgettable highlight for fans. The performance also built momentum leading up to the official launch of Ragnarok: The New World on July 16.
Server Grand Opening Features Many Exclusive Prizes
To welcome adventurers from all over, the Ragnarok: The New World team has prepared a number of special rewards in celebration of the Grand Opening of the server. Players simply need to log in to receive Kafra VIP for free. The benefits of Kafra VIP are quite substantial, as it permanently unlocks several key features, including:
- Offline (AFK)
- Daily Task Reward Recovery
- Free Skill Reset
- Various additional benefits to accelerate character development
With this feature, players can progress their characters more comfortably without being overly burdened by repetitive daily routines. This system also makes the gaming experience feel more flexible, especially for players who want to continue leveling up even when they aren’t always actively playing.
In addition to Kafra VIP, players also have the chance to earn various limited-edition cosmetic items, such as:
- Custom Headwear by DJ Poring
- Limited-Edition Space-Time Monster Costume Set
- Sailsong Tidewalker Limited Edition Avatar Frame
Interestingly, the Space-Time Monster costume set is a special reward introduced in collaboration with the global brand ambassador, BABYMONSTER. These items are perfect for players who want to stand out and build a more unique character identity in the new RO world.
The "Bargain Battle" Event Makes Summer Outfits More Affordable
In addition to login rewards, Ragnarok: The New World is also hosting a limited-time event called "Bargain Battle." In this event, players can invite friends to join in bidding on limited-edition summer costumes.
What makes this event exciting is that the price of these costumes can drop to as low as 2% from the original price. So, players have the chance to get exclusive cosmetic items that are worth much more.
Events like this are clearly a perfect addition to the Grand Opening period. In addition to encouraging players to engage with the community, the bidding system also offers a more exciting experience than simply claiming standard rewards.
Your Chance to Win BABYMONSTER Merchandise and Other Great Prizes
During the server launch celebration period, players can also participate in various in-game events to earn additional rewards. One of the most exciting is the chance to win A complete set of limited-edition BABYMONSTER photocard.
It doesn’t stop with the game—official community activities also offer prizes that are just as exciting. Players who actively participate in various community campaigns have the chance to win prizes such as:
- Smartphone
- Gift Card Game
- International round-trip airline tickets
- Various other exclusive gifts
With so many events taking place during the Grand Opening, the launch of Ragnarok: The New World felt not just like a typical server launch, but also like a major celebration for the RO community across various regions.
New Druid Class Introduced with Three Different Forms
One of the most eye-catching features of this release is the introduction of the Druid class. This new class offers a refreshing approach to gameplay, as it allows players to switch between three different forms.
The three main forms of the Druid are:
- Wild Beast Form
- Bird of Prey Form
- Human Form
Each form offers a different playstyle, so players need to understand timing, skill rotations, and combat situations before deciding on the best form to use. Mechanics like these make the Druid a great fit for players who enjoy flexible, adaptive classes that offer plenty of room to experiment with different builds.
The inclusion of Druids from day one also signals that Ragnarok: The New World aims to offer a fresh experience without straying from the classic foundations familiar to the RO community.
Without the Combat Power System, Player Skills Become More Influential
One of the major changes introduced in Ragnarok: The New World is the removal of the Combat Power (CP) system as we know it. This is a significant step because battles are no longer determined solely by the strength stats displayed on a character.
In the absence of a CP system, players are challenged to rely more on:
- Understanding Classes
- Combination of skills
- Character Development
- Quick decision-making
- Strategies for Dealing with Opponents
These changes make the gameplay feel more competitive and give players who truly understand the game’s mechanics more room to shine. In the context of MMORPGs, decisions like this can be a plus because they reduce the emphasis on raw stats and place greater emphasis on gameplay skills.
The Freedom to Choose Your Own Adventure Path
In addition to its combat system, Ragnarok: The New World also offers a great deal of freedom in progression. Players aren’t forced to follow a specific path; instead, they can choose a playstyle that suits their individual preferences.
Some playing styles that can be developed include:
- Becoming a merchant
- Focus on guild play
- Become an open-world explorer
- Developing specific character builds
- Hunting for items and cosmetics
- Attending community events
This freedom makes the gaming experience feel more personal. Players who want to play casually can still enjoy the world of RO, while competitive players have the space to hone their strategies, builds, and character performance.
With the official launch of the servers, Ragnarok: The New World has plenty to look forward to. From the debut of the Druid class, the removal of the Combat Power system, Kafra VIP login rewards, and exclusive BABYMONSTER costumes, to the Grand Opening event featuring a variety of exciting prizes.
For longtime Ragnarok players, this game offers a chance to relive the spirit of RO’s adventures in a more modern format. For new players, the Grand Opening Server is the perfect time to jump in and build a character from scratch alongside a global community. Interested in playing? Check out the full details here.
