Drag the bar or use the arrow keys to compare. Both screenshots were captured in the live Zethrone client.

Frequently asked questions
about Ragnarok Online Prime
Is Zethrone free to play?+
Yes. The browser client is free and nothing permanent is sold. Optional Kafra Premium only adds temporary comfort such as extra experience, better drops, reduced death penalty, expanded storage, a cart style and premium buffs — all clearly disclosed and obtainable by playing.
How do I start playing?+
Create a community account, open the Play Ragnarok Online page and sign in to the browser client. There is no installer, no patcher and no download: the game runs in Chrome, Edge or Firefox with WebGL support.
What rates does the realm use?+
The realm runs at ×5 BASE EXP, ×5 JOB EXP and ×5 drops, rising to ×7 EXP on weekends (UTC). Cards use their own ×5 multiplier from the official 1/10,000 tables, while boss and MVP cards keep ×1. Characters follow the official per-class caps up to base 285 and job 99 (fourth classes cap at 285/65 after the kRO 285Lv expansion), every account starts with two free character slots and can unlock up to six, and both first and second jobs are unlocked.
Which ruleset is used?+
PRE-RENEWAL logic. STR, AGI, VIT, INT, DEX and LUK matter, combat is manual and class roles stay clearly defined — presented through a Renewal-inspired browser client with readable interfaces.
When is War of Emperium?+
Every Saturday and Sunday from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC. The realm contests 34 castles — 20 FE, 10 SE and 4 TE — and the in-game WoE clock announces each siege in advance.
