At the time of the announcement, player data was not going to be preserved for a future Chinese service or transfer to an existing service.

Gravity was announced "We have signed a partnership agreement for the provision of Ragnarok with kunlun" on March 30, 2012. February 28 2013,cRO began service. <ref>http://ro.kunlun.com/news_center/news/2013/0228/73.html</ref>, and was later closed on February 19, 2016.

France (Europe)

On July 11, 2019 fRO GMs announced the end of service on August 12, 2019 on their game forums.<ref>https://forum.ragnarokeurope.com/ro/index.php?/topic/85412-important-end-of-service</ref> In fact, this 30-day deadline is the minimum time that Whybe Online has agreed to in its terms and conditions to inform players.

This company will open a new Revo Classic server beginning with a closed beta test in early august 2019.<ref>https://eu.4game.com/ro/</ref>

Europe

Known as euRO, service began on April 15, 2004. It was run by BURDA Interactive Communities (BIC). Originally opening with Chaos and Loki servers, the two were merged into a single server named Odin. BIC's contract negotiations with Gravity proved difficult, with BIC unable to secure a long-term contract to the game license. In July 2010, BIC announced that due to the inability of the two parties to come to an agreement, it would be withdrawing its latest offer and would thus lose its rights to host the game. A closing date of September 30, 2010 was announced on September 8, and free access to the game was made available from September 15 until the shutdown of the game. Players were given the option to transfer their characters to fRO a few months later. The last update euRO received prior to shutting down was Episode 13.1: Ash Vacuum. euRO was notable in the fact that it never opened a true Kafra Shop item mall, instead releasing a series of Headgear Bundles. euRO was also only one of two servers at the time of its shutdown to not have a Free to Play option.

Oceania

Also known as oRO, began beta service in 2004, went commercial on December 1, 2004, and closed down March 2, 2007. It was hosted by OnGameNet Pty. Ltd. Oceania had 1 main server and one free test server, Sakray; both of which were set to 1x EXP and 1x Drop rates. Players were given the opportunity to transfer to the International service (iRO, which is now the default server for Oceania), and many did accept this offer. The last update oRO recieved prior to shutting down was Episode 10.2: Lighthalzen.

Hispano

Also known as ROh. The last update ROh recieved prior to shutting down was Episode 10.1: Einbroch.

As of August 20, 2008, the Website is still down and further information is pending. vRO by VinaGame was closed down on June 20, 2008. Asiasoft re-launched with only an F2P server called Odin on Novemeber 28, 2008, and went commercial on December 29, 2008. In late 2010, Asiasoft announced it would be ceasing service permanently in January 2011 due to an inability to reach a contractual agreement with Gravity Korea (similar to euroRO), and service was terminated on the 24th.

Middle East

Also known as aeRO. Launched by Gravity MEA in 2007-2008, the game never came out of beta. It shut down sometime during late 2008-early 2009. It's unknown what the last update it had before it closed, though it was up to at least Episode 9.0. A new middle east server, aRO, began operations in 2009 and subsequently closed in February 2013.

Malaysia & Singapore

Known as mRO, the server launched in 2003 by Game Flier Malaysia. It shut down on October 31, 2013. Shortly after celebrating their 10 year anniversary. After the closure, iRO became the new official server for the area. The last update the server received was Episode 13.3: El Dicastes.

mysgRo reopened in November 2017, under the publishing of Electronics Extreme, the same publisher as the relaunched ThRO and pRo.

Philippines

Known as pRO, service began on September 2003 and was hosted by Level Up!. The management auctioned MVP cards, over upgraded items, rare headgears, and personalized godly items for real money to those who can afford it. Level Up! earned around a million Philippine pesos (roughly $20,000.00) in each of the auction events they organized. After a series of real money auctions and bundle promos, pRO ceased service immediately on March 31, 2015, technically scamming their players before closing. Users were able to merge into a new iRO server named Thor, which opened in April 2015 with some of their items intact. Most of the items were deleted, approximately 500 accounts were wiped out, only a few characters were migrated successfully. pRO was updated to 14.1 at the time of closure.

pRO reopened in June 2017, under the publishing of Electronics Extreme, the same publisher as the relaunched ThRO. After closing circa 2019, pRO is currently in its newest reiteration, Ragnarok GGH, under Gravity Game Hub in April of 2022, operating in the SEA region.
