= Welcome to the ROPP Portal ! =
'''The Ragnarok Online Preservation Project''' is the project which runs the Ragnarok Wiki. Our goal is relatively straightforward -- we're here to preserve ragnarok history and provide a central location for Ragnarok fans to get information about the past, present and future of Ragnarok Online. We look into old discoveries around Ragnarok Online and other Gravity games in the franchise, but we also look into the public domain efforts that have sprung up around those games -- times when ordinary people decided to get involved and run their own infrastructure and games.

We are a team of volunteers, who are dedicated to preserving content that otherwise would be lost to the sands of time. The degradation of information in general is happening at an alarming rate and we wanted to do our part to preserve a part of that by preserving Ragnarok Online. And what better way to preserve it and its mysteries, than to provide a single source of information for the community that plays it?

== How can I help? ==
<div class="alert alert-primary" role="alert"><b>Yay!</b> We have some vacancies for staff roles! [[ROPP: Staff vacancies|see here]]</div>
* '''Contribute to a game section -''' We are looking for knowledgable people to expand out content for Ragnarok Games. If you're knowledgeable on how to play, why not start a game guide?
* '''Hunt down Ragnarok's Past''' - Join us in the discord, help us look up fragments of RO's past hidden on archive.org and around the internet and help us!
* '''Uncover some mysteries''' - Were there player houses in Ragnarok Online? Was Dragon Zombie ever released? Is Jellopy an addictive substance?
* '''Expand the wiki''' - Add content for any game you like
* '''Preserve public domain history''' - Did you develop for an emulator? Ever make a tool to do something cool? Why not document it here? We preserve these things to help science!

== How can I join ? ==
You can join by becoming a member of the wiki and contribute that way. You can also join our discord server and speak to us and contribute that way. We of course recommend contributing to the wiki as that way information is preserved more effectively, however -- we're don't run the project with an iron fist -- if you want to contribute, just go ahead and contribute, and we'll work together to make the best content we can!

== How we're run ==
Currently because there isn't an influx of huge numbers of people, we are maintained in a semi-democratic structure run by the community itself. We publish the rules and policies we create and we're open to changing our policies if people feel the way we do things can be done better. For more info see these:

* [[ROPP: Policies]]

== Project goals ==
Current Goals are to expand the wiki to open it up to the public and reduce the amount of spam signups which are occurring.

Blog:Quality Of Life Improvements To VisualRag

Just as a quick update, I've made some quality-of-life improvements to VisualRag as this is our most heavily-visited feature. The main feature is updating dependencies and also switching to Tailwind, and most importantly, adding in a cache feature so that it reduces the dependency on the API and makes it so that if the API is down (due to various bugs in code I didn't write) then the UI will still work. I have also added in a "share code" feature so that you can copy the code and see a character as you rendered it.

I'll be doing a few quality of life improvements during the week, so keep tuned. Thanks very much for your patronage over these years.

Balancing this has been difficult with the small resources we have had, due to the fact that we don't want to blanket ban areas like Russia from visiting the site, but we also don't want to open up signup because then so much junk would end up getting posted which would take up most of our resources to remove to get rid of it.
At the moment MediaWiki doesn't have great plugins which can be used for this purpose, so we'd need to roll our own and share it with the MediaWiki community so they can use it too. We do have plugins we have used which have stemmed ''most'' of the spam when we did have signups open, which had custom rules to prevent new accounts from creating new pages but, spam adapted so we have to, too.

{{Ragnarok Game|Name=Ragnarok Online 3|ReleaseDateKR=TBD|ReleaseDateJP=TBD|ReleaseDateUS=TBD|ReleaseDateEU=TBD|image=RO3 Trailer Screenshot2.png}}
'''Ragnarok Online 3''' is an upcoming game being released by Gravity Game Vision and created by Singapore-based company JoyMaker Games. Its official trailer was released on 31 July 2025 showing a modern reimagining of the original game. It has received criticism since its launch due to its terms of service confirming that purchaseable in-game items were available, that the game would not be available in the European Union, and that refunds would not be available to users, as well as the TOS preventing the users from injunctive relief (legal recourse) against the JoyMaker games.<ref>Joymaker.com. (2025). ''Terms of Service - Ragnarok Online 3''. [online] Available at: <nowiki>https://joymaker.com/protocol/ro3/terms-of-service.html</nowiki> [Accessed 2 Aug. 2025]. (Archive: https://archive.is/jWkC7)

== Features ==
[[File:RO3 Trailer Screenshot1.png|thumb|Newbies fight monsters in a starting area.]]
Based on the RO3 gameplay trailer, the game is intended to be a pixel-for-pixel recreation of the original Ragnarok Online, although using modern game engines and higher-quality graphics<ref name=":0">Ragnarok Online 3 (2025).

* High-quality emoticons - Versions of the emoticons from the original Ragnarok Online game are shown.<ref name=":0" />
* Classic Vending System - The vending system of the original Ragnarok Online is present in the game, showing many vendors in Prontera and other locations with their shops bubbles open.<ref name=":0" />
* Skill System - Referred to as "job actions", but they appear to be skills like from the original game, showing various classes (Warlock, Asssassin Cross, etc) performing skills which appear to have different names but be variants of skills present in the original game.<ref name=":0" />
* 10-player dungeons - Not much information is provided beyond the title, however from the video it appears to be dungeons where groups of 10 players enter at once to clear it. The trailer shows large-scale monsters in the dungeons, similar to the large-scale 3-dimensional monsters which were planned in the original Ragnarok Online but were not implemented due to technical constraints.<ref name=":0" />
* Guild League - A battle feature in which guilds battle eachother directly in arenas to vy for victory and the top spot in the league.<ref name=":0" />

ROPP: Portal/2025 Goals

2025-07-03T11:24:50Z

Halca:

== Goals ==
{| class="wikitable"
!Goal
!Progress
|-
|'''Growth - Opening Wiki To The Public'''
|'''0%'''
|-
| colspan="2" |Currently due to spam we have a large volume of garbage e-mail addresses which are signing up to the wiki and posting spam. This is because the wiki in a sense has become a victim of its own success -- as our rankings have become higher in Google, we have immediately been hit with Spam from various locations. Balancing this has been difficult with the small resources we have had, due to the fact that we don't want to blanket ban areas like Russia from visiting the site, but we also don't want to open up signup because then so much junk would end up getting posted which would take up most of our resources to remove to get rid of it.
At the moment MediaWiki doesn't have great plugins which can be used for this purpose, so we'd need to roll our own and share it with the MediaWiki community so they can use it too. We do have plugins we have used which have stemmed ''most'' of the spam when we did have signups open, which had custom rules to prevent new accounts from creating new pages but, spam adapted so we have to, too.
|-
|'''Stability - Migrating and improving Infrastructure'''
|'''15%'''
|-
| colspan="2" |Even though we only have 50 or so articles, the demand on the service is getting higher. Currently it is not using a great deal of resources but we are getting a decent amount of traffic through to the site. To make updating and upgrading easier, this is starting to be migrated through onto aa different service to ensure that when more people are using it, the service can handle the load.
|-
|'''Content - Launching RagNews'''
|'''0%'''
|-
| colspan="2" |RagNews is the Ragnarok-Based news service which is written in GO and uses Facebook's LLaMa LLM to summarise content which is going on within the ragnarok community. Currently this is scraping all of the relevant sites within the RO universe and then outputting content. This needs to be systematised and then rolled out in the existing domain name.

== Actions ==

!Goal
!Progress
|-
|'''Adding additional restrictions to account creation to gmail.com and requiring e-mail validation'''
|'''Growth - Opening Wiki To The Public'''
|50%
|-
| colspan="3" |Spammers can certainly create gmail accounts but much harder than just creating their own accounts. Until the plugin can be created (which is a significantly longer process) restricting to gmail, hotmail, protonmail is an easier restriction to ensure that genuine accounts can register, while garbage spam is nipped in the bud.

* Allowlist has been updated to allow only reputable email domains, the rest are blocked. Blocklist needs to be mirrored to explicitly block anything other than these domains.
|-
|'''Creating plugin to lookup from various bot APIs before allowing account signup'''
|'''Growth - Opening Wiki To The Public'''
|100%
|-
| colspan="3" |If there is already an existing plugin when we come to review this, then we certainly will use it, but for the moment it appears that we'll need to create it and share back with the MediaWiki gang.
''A separate, simpler solution was reached! Happy days! Complete - Halca''
|-
|'''Migrate server to ansible-created infrastructure'''
|'''Stability - Migrating and improving Infrastructure'''
|25%
|-
| colspan="3" |Currently the main priority is moving the infrastructure to Infrastructure As Code so it can be reliably recreated. At the moment this is partially the case, but this needs to be completely moved to IaC. This will pave the way for then later migration to Kubernetes.
|-
|'''Tweak RagNews algorithm'''
|'''Content - Launching RagNews'''
|0%
|-
| colspan="3" |RagNews has had an alpha and has had feedback from ROPP contributors which needs to be addressed before it can be launched to the public. Which then again needs to be re-launched once we're certain it's in a good position.
