ROSE Online

The game was originally pay to play, but when Triggersoft stopped developing the game in 2007, the rights of ROSE Online were sold to several different companies which went on to develop and publish their own free-to-play versions of the game. Gravity Interactive developed and published a version of the game known as naROSE for 3 North American and 40 European countries, up until all of their games and services to the European regions were terminated on May 25, 2018. As of September 16, 2021, the development and publishing of ROSE Online for this region was taken over by Rednim Games. At that time, Rednim Games predicted the launch to still be 'many more months' in the future. Starting in 2013, another branch of the game known as jROSE was exclusively developed for the Japanese market by ROSE Online Japan. Despite major financial difficulties, culminating in the studio filing for bankruptcy in 2020, they still promised to keep developing and publishing updates to the game in 2019. ROSE Online is a free roaming typical level-up based MMORPG featuring anime inspired graphics and "a very cute game environment in comparison to many other titles on the market." Players fight monsters, gain character levels, obtain new skills and find equipment to prepare themselves for future battles. Supply and demand can change each day so it is up to the player to seize the opportunity. In addition to leveling through the method of acquiring experience points leading to a level after the defeat of a monster, a character may also aid their leveling experience with the use of Quests. Some quests are given a time limit so the character must complete the quest to be eligible for a reward. Rewards from quests are affected by the amount of charm a character has. There are three types of items, to which the inventory is divided: Equipment, items characters may wear on their bodies; Consumable which consists of consumable items that may recover HP or MP, or perform an effect , and Material which covers general miscellany, such as materials for crafting, gems, and ammunition for weapons that need them. Many items in the Equipment section of a player's Inventory can be altered by refining or by drilling them to put a gem into them: There are a variety of weapons to use in ROSE Online. The type of weapon a certain player should use is generally based on the class he chooses. There are six basic jobs/classes: Four basic classes can later be upgraded into more advanced Secondary Classes: The seven planets of the world of ROSE Online were created by the goddess Arua. To protect the other planets from Hebarn, Arua created the Visitors and sent them to Junon, the first planet of Rose Online.
