Webzen has wiped its PC MMORPG R2 Open Reboot server and kicked off a string of celebratory events. Following the reset on Thursday, June 18, the developer is focusing on accelerating player progression through a fresh batch of rewards and quality-of-life adjustments.

Players who participated in the character name pre-registration event can now jump into the fray with their chosen monikers and a suite of perks. The grind has been softened, with reduced XP requirements for character and guild development, while daily quest rewards and Servant fusion success rates have been bumped up. Furthermore, the unified supply centre now dishes out improved loot like the 'Gaias Earring' and 'Level Jumping Scroll'. For those chasing the endgame, reaching milestones beyond level 95 unlocks special bonuses, including skill points and further boosted fusion rates. With the 'Level Up Race' now expanded to four rounds, expect the competition for the top spot to remain fierce for the duration of the server's life.

The reset also serves as a testing ground for upcoming content destined for the main servers. You will find new class-specific enhancement skills alongside refinements to existing ones, aiming to shake up the combat meta. Additionally, the 'Adventure Log' content makes its debut, allowing players to secure extra stat bonuses, while the classic 'R2 Mission' system has undergone a complete overhaul.

To keep the momentum going, Webzen has packed the schedule with events. Look forward to 'R2 DAY' for XP boosts and the chance to snag a limited-edition Rare Teleport Control Ring through event quest rewards. The first guilds to seize victory in the 'Siege and Spot Battles' or the 'Aetherium Castle Conquest' will also receive commemorative prizes. It is a busy season, with mission-based challenges, level-up races, and awakening quests all running concurrently.
