Main Features




Return to Morroc aims to bring the best action with a refined Ragnarok Online experience. The project aims to bring a familiar world to a new concept.

EVERY SINGLE PART of the gameplay was remade. Classes, Monsters, Equipment, Cards, Fields, Dungeons, Cities, Lore... The entire world is now a new experience, ready to be explored and conquered. The main focus of the Project is to:

  • Provide Players with new tools, in the way of new jobs.
  • Provide both classic content in a fully remade way, and new content with the same quality as the original, or better.
  • Follow the lore as close as possible, while expanding it with a new twist.
  • Expand the world of the now called New-Midgard.
  • Remove all instances from the gameplay loop, ensuring all maps are part of a living world, Instances are only available in the Main Story Quest and some Job Quests.
  • Provide a new, engaging gameplay loop, where skills in combat take a bigger part. Combos, rotations, dodging monster spells, moving around, all part of the fight.
  • Bring modern design ideas to a more mature public, ensuring any play session, no matter how short, can provide a sense of progression.
  • Rework the combat system so numbers actually mean something, builds can be tailor-made to the individual detail. Stats have been reworked for a better curve.

Server Information





The entire game progression was remade. Return to Morroc doesn't follow the original exp table, drop rates or anything else. Every part of the game was tailor-made for the player who wants a new, quality experience:

The Server is designed as a low-rate with mid-rate quality of life features.

Levels and Progression:

  • Max Base Level: 150 (Softcap at 130, after this, experience and stat points received are drastically reduced.)
  • Max Job Level: Main tree jobs have a max job level of 70 (softcap at 50), other jobs vary (Judge for example has 100 Job Levels)
  • Experience Rates: 1x/1x (Feels like 5~10x from original RO depending on location and level.)
  • Death penalty: 5%

Drop Rates:

  • Regular loot has a fixed chance of 100%. This loot can be sold or used on HATred Quests and Costume Quests.
  • Equipment and Shadow Equipment have varied drop rates ranging from 0.5% to 15%.
  • Card Drop Rate: 1%
  • Mini-Boss Card Rate: 2%
  • MVP Card Rate: 3%
  • Reminder that every single card was reworked.
  • Many costumes can be acquired from monsters, with up to 4 of them in a single monster at a 0.25% rate for example.

Commands:

  • @autotrade
  • @refresh
  • Other features like No-KS, Show EXP and Show Zeny are available in The Orphanage.
  • Arealoot is a basic skill. Loots all items around player and cancels any animations.
  • Sense is a basic skill. Shows all monster information, drops, HP and other details.

Job Classes





Over 35 brand new job classes, including:

  • Orphan, a versatile starter job with unlimited potential.
  • Illusionist, ever wished a character was not enough? Now you can feel like playing two different characters!
  • Jester, A card-throwing job with a massive SP pool and unique weapons. Are you skilled enough to shuffle your deck after combat to reload your SP?
  • Revenant, a high risk, high reward job who wields a scythe, and has massive natural leeching properties on all its weapons.
  • Night Raven, the master of the night and weapons, who can order a Raven to attack enemies and never misses.
  • Blast Juggler, a job class that can use traps and explosives to great effect and control the battlefield before enemies can become a problem.
  • Dracomancer, a job class that can draw power from the Dragons and even transform itself in one of them temporarily!
  • Black Plague, carrier of diseases and double axes, heavy attacker who can kill enemies from the inside with delayed damage or even poison bosses!
  • Or just Unchain your job, and break the limits of what they can do and become a master of the basic arts.

And many, MANY more! Check out Job Classes for detailed information.

Character Stats

The stats have been fully reworked. You no longer requires 2 points per stat with an increasing cost every 10 points:

  • Any stat up to 49 costs 1 point.
  • Any stat from 50 to 98 costs 2 points.
  • getting 99 in a single stat costs 3 points. This is because some equipment have bonuses for having 99 in a specific stat.

We also kept the great Pre-Renewal Breakpoints! However, added in a linear growth, so players can get small, extra bonuses when they have multiples of 10 in a given stat.

Another thing is that the behavior of the status have also been adjusted:

  • Strength grants more weight limit per point.
  • Agility scales better with attack speed at higher amounts.
  • Intelligence has a higher influence on SP regeneration.
  • Dexterity has a better effect on cast time.
  • Luck affects more status resistances.

Besides the above points. Most skills now have a Stat-based scaling added to them!

Combat Mechanics

Combat in Return to Morroc is completely different from original RO. The main features available are:

  • Shadow System: Dying in a dungeon is always tense, dying brings a Shadow to life that will try to kill your party members...But can also resurrect you if they are brave and fight back!
  • Skill based combat: SP Regen speed is drastically increased, SP is no longer a resource you exhaust and wait: it's something you control the constant use.
  • Combo Skills: Some skills now have special interactions when used right after another different skill. This can be extra hits or increased damage.
  • Skill Rotations: Skills no longer are spammed (with exceptions) and require rotating different cooldowns and skills in order to get maximum efficiency.
  • Monster Mechanics: You are required to dodge the skills used by monsters, or take a heavy hit. Move away from cast area, hide from targeted hits, run behind cover, dynamic combat situations with monsters who might assist one another, trap you with a curved ice wall, lock you in place or punish heavy mobbing overall.
  • Massively decreased numbers. Gone are the days of the barrage of 100k+ hits of renewal. Gone are the cheap one shot mechanics of MVPs.
  • Ranking System: Dungeons have difficulty tiers with differences based on what to expect, from E to S. Anything can be done solo with enough preparation and equipment.
  • Small bonus experience for fighting monsters above your level. Harsh penalties for monsters under your level, moving on and seeking new challenges is always needed.

A New World to explore
