Kakao Games is marking a significant milestone, celebrating 1,000 days of service for its MMORPG 'Ares: Rise of Guardians' by opening a brand-new, permanently independent server dubbed 'Nova'.

For those unacquainted, Ares: Rise of Guardians is a cross-platform MMORPG for PC and mobile that prides itself on a frantic combat pace and a distinctive suit-based battle system.

To celebrate this 1,000-day journey, the team is pulling out all the stops with the 'Nova' server. It’s been specifically tailored for newcomers and returning players, offering a fresh start in an environment completely segregated from the existing servers.

If you create a character on the Nova server, the red carpet is well and truly laid out: you’ll receive an instant boost to level 75, along with a free jumping pass that lets you dive straight into the main story starting from Act 5. They’re also tossing in essential gear, R-grade suits for every class, and a generous heap of R-grade summon tickets.

The Nova World, which houses this server, operates independently. Features like the 'Rift of Space and Time', 'Taruk Base', and 'Eternal Nexus'—usually server-matched affairs—will run exclusively within this bubble. However, don’t fret; you can still participate in game-wide content and access the integrated world marketplace just like everyone else.

The 1,000-day anniversary and the Nova launch are also bringing a slew of events. You can grind through seven days of missions to earn 'Nova Mileage', which can be swapped for SR-grade summon tickets. There's also the 'Black & White Mileage' event if you're looking for even more bonuses.

The mileage awarded to Nova server players is calculated based on your cumulative spending and play duration. Here’s a cheeky bonus for returning players: you’ll receive double the mileage. You can splash this currency on summon tickets, R-grade gear and skills, free equipment swap tickets, and various growth items.

A representative from Kakao Games commented, "We are incredibly grateful to our players who have stuck with Ares: Rise of Guardians for these past 1,000 days," adding, "We remain committed to providing a long-term gaming experience through consistent content updates and stable service."

For all the nitty-gritty details, Ares: Rise of Guardians official website is where you need to head.
