Major updates and events
New world quest line and new maps
Introduced in 2009, the world of Rune Midgard was turned upside down with the discovery of the Ash Vacuum, a new world beyond or own with new locations, new friends and new enemies.
Currently, we have the 14.2 Eclage update, which is the latest expansion in this New World storyline.
Eden Group
Established after the destruction of Morroc, this group of idealistic adventurers are looking for recruits to help them regain order in Rune Midgard. To this end, they will supply applicants with repeatable exp quests, special armor and weapons and much more.

WoE system update
This introduces the Hall of Abyss dungeons, as well as the investment system. This allows players to invest zeny or items, which gives them item rewards and adds up towards opening the Hall of Abyss guild dungeons. The monsters found in the new Hall of Abyss dungeons have the chance to drop WoE specific equipment
Server merger
Iris, Chaos, and Loki merged together to become Ymir. Ymir became our current free to play Chaos Renewal server. If you played back when the servers were Iris/Loki or Chaos, or when it was Yggdrassil, Ymir and Valkyrie your characters and items can be found on Chaos Renewal.
Costume/Market search/gravestone system update
Long teased, the costume update allowed for players to equip new costume headgears that would cover up the worn equipment in that slot. More and more costumes have been introduced since then, so it's easy to find a fun headgear that covers up the functional (but perhaps not very appealing) look of your equipped headgears!
The market search items are neat items that let you search for vendors when you activate it while in the same town as the merchants.
The gravestone was added to make it easier for MVP hunters to find their prey. Now, when MVPs that spawn normally on field maps are killed (Bloody Dead branch and GM summoned ones do not apply) it pops up a gravestone noting the time they were killed so hunters can return around the time when they respawn.
