- Participants will receive 1 participation prize regardless of amount of entries submitted.
- Participants can win only once per category, with a maximum of 2 wins on different categories. (IE You submitted 2 great card arts, but will win only once. However, your cutin art or video can win again since it's on a different category).
- Any entries submitted may be used for heRO, regardless if it wins or not.
- Please put all your entries in the same post (unless you reach the image limit, in which case put a link to your next post that contains entries), feel free to edit your post(s) until the deadline.
- If your image streches the forum, please use thumbnails or links instead.
- Please mention your character names in your entry post so we know who to give rewards to.
- Your submitted art can have your name/artist signature on it, but please don't make it too big.
- Do not steal someone else's work, if using artwork or other material made by someone else please ask them / credit them in your post.
- Keep things PG-13.
- Must be RO related (avoid images from other games, anime, etc).
- More than 1 player may participate in the creation of an entry, however only 1 person may submit it and collect the participation/reward prize for it, that person is then responsible for prize distribution or any other deal agreed to by the players involved.
Categories
Category #1 - Card Images:
- Format: Bitmap (.bmp) or .png
- Size: 300 x 400
- Regular RO Border or heRO emblem not required.
- Monster sprites are listed below.
Category #2 - NPC Cutins:
- Format: Bitmap (.bmp) or .png
- Size: Approximately 320 x 480 (With GM approval you may be allowed to make larger ones for important NPCs)
- The Cutin doesn't have to look exactly like its NPC version, but try not to make it completely unrecognizable.
- The background has to be transparent (for RGB: 255-0-255, for Hex: #FF00FF). The npc itself must not be transparent or have any semi-transparent pixels. If it's not at 100% opacity it will make the pink background not exactly FF00FF, which will be noticeable in-game (usually a quite ugly pink outline on the image). And please, don't use anti-aliasing.
- If you want to check if your image is ok before sending, open it in photoshop, use the magic wand with a tolerance of 1 and no anti-aliasing, select the area around your npc, turn that white or black, see if you have a pink outline that shows around your npc, if so, you gotta make it go away!
Category #3 - Loading Screens:
- The size of a loading screen should preferably be 1600 x 1200, but 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024 is good too.
- Image format must be Jpeg (.jpg).
- GM-Ciar manually adds the server logo in the bottom corner, so it's not necessary for you to do it, but if you want to add it, click here to see and be able to copy the server logo.
- Your loading screen may also be used as a title screen too, so it may be seen on the login and character select screens!
You can make a loading or title screen image about anything HeRO related, but if you're not sure what to make, here's some ideas/suggestions:
- Allegiance System
- Events (Fabre Tame, Poring Smash, Novices vs Taini, etc.)
- Chronicles of Heroes
- Flooded Yggdrasil Root (Kushiel's Dungeon)
- Thanatos Basement (Orcus' Dungeon)
- Neko Island
- Lutia Region
- Faeheim Region
- Muspel Mondays
Category #4 - Video:
- Duration: at least 30 Seconds
- Hosted on Youtube
- Must showcase 1 or several feature(s) of Lutia in order to promote heRO to outside users (PVM, Questing, etc.)
- Video should display the server name and rates (5/5/3) in the title or description
- Have the following tags: "heRO", "Ragnarok", "Ragnarok Online", "heRO RO", "heRO Ragnarok", "Ragnarok Private Server", and "heRO Promo", and more if you wish
- Format: any that YouTube accepts (.mov, .mpeg, .wmv, .avi)
- Should be a video sequence rather than only screenshots and still images
Rewards

Questions
Ask and we shall answer!
- Will we get cards for all the monsters in the card list?
Answer: Only the ones that have card images by the end of the contest.
- How many prizes can one win?
Answer: For submitting a worthy entry, you will get a participation prize. If you win on any category, you'll get the headgear and choice pack, and if your submission is selected to be added to the server, you'll also get an old card album.
- I'm not great at digital drawings, can I do them by hand?
Answer: Yes, just make sure it's scanned properly (high resolution) and has a clean look (not blurry, grainy, etc).
- Are any of the reward headgears animated?
Answer: Flying Galapago, Black Witch Hat, Warm Cat Muffler, Alpaca Hood, Sorcerer Hood, Glitter, and Dark Aura are animated.
- What are the Lutia and Faeheim reputation reward pets?
Answer: From Lutia: Ijsbal, Pale Vulpine, Snow Moth, Kalpea Henki, and from Faeheim: Springbeak, Stumper, Spiky Urchin, Chipmunk. Each of these give a unique bonus when loyal!
- Can my entries win more than once?
Answer: You can win only once per category, regardless of entries. For example, you submitted 2 amazing card arts, but can win only once on the card category. However, if you submitted cutin art or a video, you have a chance to win again since it's on a different category. In total, you can win up to 2 times this way.
Disclaimers:
By posting your entry, you implicitly agree to the following:
Submitted entries can be used by the GM Team for the server in any way shape or form, in or outside the game.
The GM Team reserves the right to adjust prizes at any time as they see fit for balance purposes.
Any entry which is determined to be antagonistic to the HeRO Server or its players will be immediately disqualified. In-game or forum punishments may also apply.
The judgement of the contest organizers is final.
