Welcome to '''Ragnamex Hardcore''', a bold reinterpretation of the classic Ragnarok Online experience. This server introduces unique mechanics inspired by games like ''World of Warcraft'' and roguelike elements — emphasizing risk, challenge, and rewarding gameplay.
Upon entering the server, all new players will begin in the final floor of Thanatos Tower: '''thana_boss'''. You will start as any class at max level 60 Base / 50 Job. To begin your adventure, you must seek out the wandering boss – the '''Dark Lord''' – and allow it to kill you. This death sequence is currently part of an in-progress lore system developed by the server creator, '''Triedge'''.

Once defeated, you will respawn as a '''Novice 1/1''' inside the '''St. Abbey''' map. Your first interaction will be with the NPC '''Receptionist'''. They will mock your demise and then offer you three unique paths to shape your gameplay experience:
Upon creating your character, you will begin at the final map of Thanatos Tower (thana_boss) at max level 60 Base and 50 Job.

The setting is currently a placeholder for future lore being developed by the server creator, '''Triedge'''.


After dying, you will respawn inside '''St. Abbey (inside)''' as a humble '''Novice 1/1'''. Speak with the NPC '''Receptionist'''. They’ll mock your death and, after some dialogue, offer you three distinct paths:
