heRO is a private server, but it's also a great project, and we do our best to make our server a fun and enjoyable place to be for everyone. We have a plethora of custom content, which we make sure is balanced, in order to make it our own special RO world along with many quality of life improvements.

- Renewal content (defined as all content after Satan Morroc) is customized for Pre-Renewal mechanics and gameplay

heRO also has lot of custom monsters, including options for newer players (as low as level 20) so that there are new level spots beyond the usual Spores and Wolves. Typically, custom monsters have an Exp/HP ratio of 1.6 to 1.8. Tougher monsters or high end monsters can exceed to 2 Exp/HP or higher.
- 3x Item Drop Rate
Although heRO operates at a 3x Item Drop Rate, heRO has lot of drop rate related changes to reduce frustrations or reduce the mindless repeated item grinds. heRO greatly increased rare equipment drop rate from regular monsters especially older equipment to be more reasonable by modern day standards. Most normal monsters drop their equipment at 0.3% if the monster is considered soloable without too much gears, or 0.45-0.6% for monsters that are more difficult. High end monsters or monsters in dungeons that require a party have a further multiplier for equipment drop rates so that on average, each player in a party will obey the drop rate listed above. For example, if a dungeon is expected to be done by a party of 3, monsters may have equipment drop at a rate of 0.9% to 1.8% such that factoring in party share, each player will see items in 0.3% to 0.6% drop rate again. This does not apply to monsters considered as miniboss of a dungeon, or any MVPs.

Quality of Life Improvements
(WIP)
Modified Drops for Common Items
Items that are constantly needed in bulk are changed in heRO to drop more often, or drop in multiples. These boxes often scale with monster difficulty so that stronger players don't need to stick to lower level spots to obtain some of these items like a traditional server. This applies to herbs, Elunium, Oridecon, Steel, Witch Starsand and more.
Please refer to the following in our database as an example for herbs and steel: Small White Herb Box Large White Herb Box Heroic White Herb Box Small Blue Herb Box Large Blue Herb Box Heroic Blue Herb Box Small Steel Box Large Steel Box Heroic Steel Box Small Witched Starsand Box
Restock
Restock can be setup to automatically stock up on items of your choice at spawn points and near any kafras, so that you can restock your fly wings, butterfly wings, ammos and catalyst items automatically. See the linked page on how to setup your restock.
Brewing Room
Crafter's Guild provides many NPCs that can provide brewing related buffs within the area. This should drastically reduce the need of a "brewing party" so that if you can assemble your guild, you can spend the time to go do fun activities and instances instead of brewing.

Chronicles of the Heroes
Our server's own storyline, watch as it unfolds with YOU as the characters!
- Join the Light or Dark side by talking to the Allegiance NPC in Prontera
- Special color palettes for each side, show your colors!
- Earn Allegiance points (Light or Dark) by completing our custom quest or participating in special Light VS Dark events!
- Get special hero equipment with your Allegiance points!
Custom NPCs and Quality of Life Improvements
- Healer (for a small fee), or you can use the Inns for healing that also comes with a 20 min HP regen buff
- Reset Master with adaptive prices
- City and Dungeon Warper with unlockable warps on an account level (unlock once for all characters within the same account)
- Costume Crafters to create over 500 Costumes
- Buying Store via Stall Permits for all characters at a low fee
- Special DB room and DB seller

- Banker to transfer zeny between different players, including from one of your character to another character on a different account
- Restock to automatically stock up on items of your choice at spawn points and near any kafras
- Plagiarism NPC to teach rogue their skill to copy instead of requiring a player to give you the skill
- Crafter's Guild to reduce the need of a party in order to brew, forge or cook on your own
More fun stuff
- Mining system

- Nobility system

- Discord channel
- Our own storyline via the Chronicle of the Heroes- heRO Roleplay
- Lots of customization, be it monsters, items or quests
WoE Twice A Week
To keep the wars fun and action-filled we have only opened 2 normal castles so far. The server is based in EST time (Eastern part of America), but we tried to make sure the hours were also accessible to other timezones, and that WoE hours do not prevent most people from having a social life.
