Webzen is gearing up for the reset of its PC MMORPG, R2, by kicking off a character name reservation event. For the uninitiated, the Open Reboot server is a cyclical beast that resets periodically; it’s designed for those who prefer the fast lane, offering boosted experience and silver rates compared to the standard servers.

You can stake your claim on a character name by logging into your official R2 account anytime before midnight on the 15th. It’s not just about the name, though—Webzen is tossing in a few perks to sweeten the deal. You’ll receive a 'character appearance change voucher' directly in your R2 storage, plus access to the web shop where you can grab helpful items like the limited-time 'Training Girl Transformation Necklace' and 'Battle Draco Ring' for free.

The developer has also pulled back the curtain on key changes coming to the Open Reboot server on the 18th. Expect a significant reduction in the experience required to level up both characters and guilds. They’ve also cranked up the XP from daily quests and buffed the success rates for fusing Epic and Legend-grade servants. To top it off, the Integrated Supply Centre is getting a fresh coat of paint and will now dish out new rewards like Gaius's Earrings and Level Jumping Scrolls.

Once you hit level 95 and beyond, the game hands out special rewards, ranging from boosted servant fusion rates to extra skill points. They’re also turning up the heat on the 'Level-up Race,' increasing the event to four rounds. Beyond the standard leaderboard prizes, top-tier competitors can look forward to high-end gear like the 'Enraged Ifrit's Treasure Chest' and the 'Griehentel's Sun Accessory Set.' They are also tweaking the cumulative login rewards and expanding the mission completion events.

Furthermore, the Open Reboot server will be the testing ground for major content updates slated for 2026. For all the granular details on the character name reservation and the reset schedule, you can head over to theofficial websiteto see for yourself.
