uaRO — Ukrainian Ragnarok Online

uaRO (Ukrainian Ragnarok Online) is a private Ragnarok Online server running since 2004 on the uAthena engine. It plays Classic Pre-Renewal (Episode 11.2) with 1× rates, a 99/50 level cap, a strict no-pay-to-win rule and OpenKore allowed. The portal ties the game together: a full database, a player community and an in-game market under one roof.

A classic server needs more than a client download — players want to plan builds, look up where a monster drops, track MVP timers and trade without leaving the site. The portal had to gather the whole game reference, the community and the economy in one place and stay readable in three languages.

• A game database: 901 monsters, 3,743 items, 316 maps, a world map, a skill database and MVP respawn timers
• A build calculator and skill simulator for planning characters before playing
• Guides for farming and levelling, crafting and forging, pets and homunculi
• Community: player rankings, guilds, War of Emperium (PvP), profiles, weddings, events, and a gallery with video and blogs
• An in-game market — auctions, price trends, an economy overview and a shared zeny bank
• A server section: live status (online now and peak), client download, rules, ToS and FAQ, plus a catalogue and reviews of other servers
• A forum and a three-language interface — Ukrainian, Russian and English

Instead of scattered wikis, chats and spreadsheets, a player has one place to plan a build, find a drop, see who is online and trade — which keeps the community around the server and lowers the barrier for newcomers.
