So I just downloaded and installed RO, got classic to work and went to make a new character. The name was already taken and found it by running the Ragnarok.exe and logging into the renewal (or what I assume to be the renewal, it wasn't the classic exe) and found two characters with the name I was using and thusly deleted them freeing up the name I wanted.

My problem lies in this, when I load up the ragnarok classic.exe and make my character there, there is no character in the list. I load up the ragnarok.exe and the character I just made is there instead.

Am I missing something with creating a character? I did try some of the patching fixes found in the forums and they didn't fix the fact I can't access my character in classic.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated and I would like to play Classic if at all possible. Thanks ahead of time for your patience and I apologize if this is listed somewhere else already.

Characters in classic and renewal are totally separate. Just because you create one on one of the servers doesn't cause it to appear on the other.

Yeah. Either you were using the Ragnarok client to access Classic (I think this gives character name already used messages when you try to create characters), or someone else has taken your name (you can try searching it on ROPD to confirm)

Which .exe file pertains to the classic? I assume its the classicRO.exe file. However there are two other .exe files in my RO folder. One listed as simply "ragnarok.exe" and another as "sakray.exe".

I used the classicRO.exe to log in and make my character, which did succeed after clearing up the name. However the character was not in the list to be played. But when I logged in with the ragnarok.exe my character was there. Are these the same thing and both considered classic? While sakray is the renewal stuff (since I just used that .exe and see notes about ninja fixes)?

Just want to make sure I am using the correct .exe file here, since I have a total of 3 in my RO folder, all of which have updated seperately.

ragnarok.exe is the Renewal client, and is used for the Chaos server only.
classicRO.exe is the Classic client, and is used for the Classic.Loki server only.

classicRO.exe is the Classic client, and is used for the Classic.Loki server only.


And Sakray.exe is for the the testing server, Sakray.

Ah thank you all for the responses, that fixed my issue. *facepalms* Can't believe it was that simple. I kept making the character on Chaos (since it had the higher population). It would be handy for newbies like me to know which server applies to what (if not in game maybe as a sticky here) Of course I probably totally missed that thread and if so disregard.

Thanks again for the quick responses. ^.^
