What is KiltRO? Why that name? www.kiltro.ragnarok.

so The KiltRO name came out after a long discussion about the possibility of fusing all the old features of Ragnarok, i.e. before the reborn were released, with some of the newer features. So it represents the mixture process in order to create something new. In the semantic level this concept is somewhat curious. On one side, in Chile there is a kind of dogs known as quiltros, that are simply street dogs that result from the crossbreeding of different dogs. The main feature of these animals is their endurance to harsh environments and illness resistance. So people with these characteristic are often called aperrados, and also refers to a loyal friend. On the other hand, Kilt is the knee-length garment that the traditional Scottish wears, a symbol of pride for their warriors, which is similar to the samurais clothing. Thats the meaning of our logo: a dog with a Scottish pattern in the background. Now, the big question is how to make all these thing fit together, so that they are coherent inside the game. To achieve this we create a Main Story Line that connects all of our custom features, which allows the player to explore them all. In this story youll find many secrets of the Ragnarok Online history, and some aspects of Nordic Mythology What are our goals? The main scheme of the game (the traditional features) allows the player to build his/her character alone, and to get all the equipment without any help. However, once you max your stats and equipment, you have very little options left and things to do. This is why we wanted to give to the game some twisted turns, so all our custom features are designed for team playing (parties and guilds). If you still prefer to play alone, dont worry, everything will be there as always. We want to have fun things to many different game play styles. Well have new challenges for the most experienced players, and also for those who dont know everything about the game, or simply dont have the time. Therefore, if you like to play against other people, youll have Woe, PvP, BG, scheduled events (not automatic), and many other surprises. Also, if you like to try new builds or have a deep knowledge about a particular job, we have designed some extra features that will give a boost to the specialization and varieties of every job build. But this doesnt mean that a character will become invincible, everything has been tested in order to maintain the balance between classes, that is, and you can shine with any job. We want you to have fun with your character, as you always have, or try something new. If you like casual playing, or you simply love to collect hats, youll find a great variety of customization options for your character. And lastly if you like roleplaying, we have a bunch of quest, histories and places you can explore and fly your imagination.

Now, What KiltRO is NOT? KiltRO is NOT a 100% Ancient Server, we have the conviction that not everything in the past was better than now. We arent an Ancient Server because we have new and old features, but we want to keep the balance and mechanics of the old Ragnarok Online. In our road to creating something new, if you can use that word for a 10 years game. What we did was to put together (what we believe is) the best of different episodes in Ragnarok history. We dont have reborn or expanded classes (that would overwhelm the 2 jobs); but we do have some maps that are not Ancient: we have all the Juno Fields (some of which appeared along with Einbroch), Ice Dungeon and Thor Volcane (these two are considered new by the old players, but we adapted them for the 2 jobs). Youll find some surprises along some of the maps that you think to know well, because Gravity (the game designers) have hidden some very interesting things, that we rescued for you. So we decided to take some distance from what would be a 100% Pure Ancient server, in order to offer you a more rich and dynamic environment, with new leveling and farming zones. We have mob that you may have not seen before, because they didnt have a natural spawn (by Gravity). Did you ever heard about the Scorpion King? Well, we have our own version. Do you know Mr. Werewolf? Yes, its a big and pink wolf; we have it, with a brand new brain. Did you ever see a Mime Monkey or a Raptice? Well, our environment development team created a jungle just for them. We hardly believe that you saw something of this before. And If you think thats everything, we have more! A long time ago, a closed beta of Ragnarok Online took place, and even before that, there was an Alpha version of the game, we are talking about something with more than 14 years. The maps in that version were very different from what we know today, so we retrieved them, and created a brand new world, full of new features for you to discover and explore. We think these maps are a piece of artwork by Gravity. So, what we offer to you? New mob or unused ones (did you ever get a critical hit by a pupa?) New dungeons for more leveling and farming options. We wont lie to you; we have customs, but is not that bad. You probably noticed how boring RO could turn, especially in the long term, always the same maps, same events, same mobs and features from server to server. Show yourself to the world! Tired of wearing a piece of dump in your head for WoE? Well, you can still have it, but look in a completely different way. With the Costumes, system, you may explore an infinite (well, almost) amount of hats that you can get from events, quest and a special system that well explain later. Metalurgy: Hammers and Rocks Did you know that you could make coins in RO? Well, in our server you will, through our Koins system. With the proper gear (via quest) you may add a chance of getting ores that you can turn into coins later. With these coins you may buy equipment, consumables and/or costumes. So you can get your equipment without being all the day stuck on the same map, go wherever you want to get your equipment.

 Zombie Apocalypse: shoot everything that moves! We know many of you find pleasure on killing what is already dead, or what doesnt want to die. And the joy of pulling the trigger and blowing up your enemies into pieces without mercy. Wait a minute; can you do that in RO? Youd need guns, and of course, we have them! Youll find all of this in our scheduled event Zombie Fortress, where any job can join, and you may get (if win) a hat that will give you +10% exp when killing monsters. But be careful, zombies are not as dumb as they look, and they wont give up so easily. We are developing a Zombie Survivor game, where you have to endure endless waves of zombies. El Castillo del Mob: Can you win to them? We have always played WoE against other humans. It is said that the players have the best intelligence and reaction time. We can take the Guardians as an example; they just follow you around and smash your head. But, how about trying to win a WoE where your enemy is a mob with a castle, and you have to conquer it? Our mob has an extra neuron in their behavior (they arent genius so you still can win). But they act a little better than the regular monsters. Battling 1 on 1 with them can be tricky, 2 vs 2 its interesting, but 2 of them against you, you better run! Our security department suggests not mobbing them. But enough with treating them as mob, they are our Warrior Spirits. We have a very special prize for this scheduled event, a hat that looks like Goku (yes, youll look like a super saiyanjin), this hat will give you +10% atk and defense against demi-human monster. But wheres the trick? You have to conquer their castle and previously pass some training rooms. Pecopeco y Grand Peco: the big bird. An important change on the game mechanics is that well have back the config where players mounted on Pecopeco/Grandpeco will change their size to Large. This will give a turn to the strategies, so your ol skeleton worker will become useless against mounted players. What will happen to the classic WoE weapons? Well, there is something else

 Battleground: Where teamwork is the key. We have all the classic BG Arenas (Flavius, CTF, SC y TD, Tierra, Bossnia, EoS and TI) We have also created two extra game modes that will give you one or more headache when thinking how to win. Novice Defense, Jail Break and Paco-Ladrn. In the first one, as the name says, each team will have Novice that must protect from their enemies, and try to kill their Novice. But be careful, these Novices will not die so easily. Jail Break: Lock down your enemies before they do it with you. But watch out for those who release their team mates from jail. Paco-Ladrn: unleash your killer instinct and stone your enemies with weapons specially designed for pain or combat buffs. And whats the point of playing all these games? Well, first, you may exchange your badges for woe consumables, and packs with items for making potions, acid and grenades. We know its a pain in the ass getting all the items for a WoE, especially for condensed potions. Here you can use your badges instead of farming in the same boring map all night long. You may also buy some hats for your customization needs, in case you wish to look like a mighty warrior or a beautiful lady (with surprise?). Besides, we have BG supplies, so you wont have to worry about expending your precious WoE potions while playing BG. This way you can smash your keyboard while using potions, without thinking that you wont have enough. What about the BG equipment? We have reprogrammed them from scratch. So anything you previously knew about these weapons will probably not work here. These weapons were redesigned to be slightly better than the traditional gear, but they can also open some new ways of building your players, i.e. by using exotic builds. This wont make you immortal, we take balance very seriously. Smart Mob: Our pride. We talked about this earlier. The Warrior Spirits arent the only ones that think better, youll find some new MVPs that dont follow the rule of one hit one kill that Gravity puts on all their creations. These monsters will not hit you hard, but they will be hard to kill. We believe that a smart mob is more challenging and more fun to kill than something that has nothing but brute force.

PVP Tournament: the cage... well... not exactly. If you think that the solo playing is being dismissed, we have planned some PvP challenges in a 2vs2 format. All the combats will take place on a special ring, where other players can also be spectators. Endless tower: it has an end. Ahhh! This definitively isnt ancient, right? Dont worry, you wont find Ifrit or beautifulbut-dreadful Valkiries. Youll only find mob that has natural spawn, plus some little surprises. But everything has been set in order to be cleared with a 2 job character. The swords given at the end of the tower cannot be used in WoE. Its intended to give yo u more options for getting equipment and raising your level.

Forbidden Items Nobody likes cheater players that never die. So we decided to remove the following cards from WoE: Angeling, Deviling, Ghostring. And the infamous Golden Thief Bug.

 Chaos and mayhemm arent always fun Some people may like to see Prontera filled with chat and stores. But we preffer to keep a certain order. So we have a market place where every Merchant may sell their goods. This map isnt ours; it was made by Olrox, so thanks to him. Happy Alchemists and guild mates with potions: One of the worst parts of preparing for WoE is the potion making process. In these kind of servers you wont have Soul Linkers, so we know how painful making potions can be. This is why we have an interesting option for those players who wish to make potions for their guild. Only for Alchemist, for a small fee, an expert shaman will give you some special powers that will allow you to make potions more quickly (Alchemist Spirit). You may ask, what about the Taekwon Class requirement for Twilight Alchemi III? Its simple, you will need a Super Novice instead, so no more TK class for Twilight Alchemy II and III. Grand Cross: the ol way. For all our mober friends. The mighty Grand Cross is back, it was nerfed to do less damage if more than one mob was in the same cell. So we reverted it, no matter how many mobs stand on the same cell, youll do full damage. NPCs clearly identified: If you think it will be a mess trying to find our custom NPCs, we have good news for you. All our NPCs have a unique color according to their function on the server. Speak to them.

Pblic Logs: Policy of Openness in the Kingdom. Tired of Reading always the same slogan no corruption and honest staff? Well, we wont make promises, well give you facts: In our Web site, youll have Access to a real time log of every action of our GM team. So if you think there is something wrong, an item was given to a player without authorization, take a picture, send it to us and well check the matter. If we find the person guilty, well execute him in public, and we the admins will give you its head for breakfast. Panel de control (CP): everything you need, in one click. Some of the features that youll find in our CP: Synchronization: you may have noticed that sometimes you want to search something in sites like ratemyserver, but it turns that on your server things work in a different way, but nobody tells you how. Or simply, its CP is outdated. Here, youll have Access to all the info thats valid for our server. A Little ugly, yes, but useful: We wont lie to you; we arent masters of graphic design, nor artists. But we put a great effort on making a CP that shows you all our monsters, items, maps, and where you can find them. You will see our actual items, their description and all the things that a player may need. This means that well less question on the forum about who drops the bag of silver coins? or where is the Pecosaur? yes, thats a pecopeco and a dinosaur made one. Statistics: for those who love numbers. One of the key features of our CP is that you will be able to see a lot of info about your (and others) performance in WoE and BG. We record statistics of every player that puts a foot inside a castle or BG Arena, if you trip on a Stone, well know. After every WoE, you will see how many players you killed, how much you died, the damage you received, the zeny spent, how many acids, grenades, gemstones you used, etc. The same goes for BG, you will know who died the most, who captured more flags, stones, skulls, and much more.

Yes, you will also see the best blacksmith and alchemist, who kills more MVP, or who plays RO all the day. BG Tutorials: Dont know how to play a particular game mode? Too shy to ask? or simply dont want to be trolled by the pr0 pl4yers. Dont worry, we have the solution: We have a series of guides that cover each game mode in detail, their rules and some tips for a better performance. If you are tired of playing always on the same maps, youll probably will like to know that we have a special selection of maps to give your PvP experience a fresh look. And also, we brought to you an old feature of Ragnarok: PvP rooms located in every City Inn. There youll have access to our arenas, and will also be able to recover quickly after every battle.

PvP Arenas

Bilingual Support: we hablar english and espaol! All the info in our server, both in game and our CP can be found in english and spanish. We translated our NPCs and some of the official ones. We wish that this will allow the community to grow larger, and will give the users a chance to learn a little more of a foreign language. Altough Spanish is our main language; both admins have a good english speaking/writing skills. If you have any question, we can schedule a TS session or you may write to us on our forums. But we only give support to these two languages. Integrated Language System Do you speak english? o hablas espaol? Dont worry, all our NPCs (events, kafras and customs) will give you the option to select a particular language (english or spanish). We dont clone NPCs and put them side by side. We believe that a good teaching is the key to success, so all our NPCs went to Rune Midgard Language Academy, and they are able to speak in both languages. But, how to select it? In every city youll find a teacher from the Academy, she will allow you to select the language, and all her students will speak to you in that one. This must be done only one time by account, so you dont need to do it with all your characters. And of course, you may always change your settings later. You think our english or spanish isnt perfect? If thats the case, you may contact us and tell us whats the error and well solve it in no time. Because We arent perfect If you find any bug, you can report it to us, and maybe youll get something nice in return. It may be a bag of coins for you, for buying that lovely hat you want, or that god-dammed equipment that you cant get. And when all this starts? Very soon, dont worry.
