About BobaRO
BobaRO is a Pre-Renewal mid-rates Ragnarok Online private server built for an international community. We focus on delivering a faithful Pre-Renewal experience with quality-of-life improvements, a fair economy, and an active, friendly player base. Whether you are a returning veteran or completely new to Ragnarok Online, BobaRO offers a balanced environment where skill and dedication are rewarded.
The server runs on the rAthena emulator with a Pre-Renewal configuration. All classes, skills, and game mechanics follow the classic Pre-Renewal formulas—no Renewal stat overhauls, no third classes, just the RO you remember.

Server Rules
All players are expected to follow these rules. Violations may result in warnings, temporary muting, jailing, or permanent bans depending on the severity and frequency of the offense.
- No botting or macros. Any form of automation, including keyboard/mouse macros, third-party botting software, or AFK farming scripts, is strictly prohibited. This includes auto-clickers and programmable controllers.
-
No exploiting bugs. If you discover a bug, exploit, or unintended mechanic, report it to the GM team immediately using
@requestor through Discord. Knowingly exploiting bugs will result in a ban. - No real-money trading (RMT). Selling or buying in-game items, accounts, zeny, or services for real-world currency is not allowed.
- Respect other players. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, and excessive toxicity are not tolerated. Keep conversations civil.
- No advertising other servers. Promoting or discussing other Ragnarok Online private servers in-game or on our community platforms is prohibited.
- English in main chat channels. Use English in public chat channels (#main, #trade) so that all players can understand. Other languages are welcome in private messages, party, and guild chat.
- GM decisions are final. If you disagree with a GM ruling, you may appeal through the proper channels on Discord, but arguing with GMs in-game is not productive and may result in further action.
- No account sharing. Each player should maintain their own accounts. Account sharing is done at your own risk—you are responsible for any actions taken on your account.
