F2P

From iRO Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

F2P is an acronym meaning "Free to Play." Servers which are F2P are supported by extra Shop Items, and generally have setting modifications that are less "friendly" than the subscription-based servers (if that region has any). These settings changes vary between different localizations of Ragnarok Online, but most common changes among various F2P servers include greatly increased death penalties (up to 5%), disabled teleportation skills/items, and removed safe levels on item upgrading.

iRO's "free" servers are called Open Servers in that they require no payment be made to play on. A comparison between iRO's Open and VIP servers servers can be found on here.

Some of these servers also offer optional subscriptions that can be purchased to increase EXP/Drop rates and/or to decrease death penalties, among other benefits. All of iRO's servers use this model.

A few servers require a VIP subscription to create characters, but allows free access to existing characters. For example: iRO Ymir.
