As the story dictates, the new dungeon, Thanatos Tower, will be added at the northernmost part of Schwarzvald. This is a tower with the ghost of ancient magic knight Thanatos, and it will have 8 to 9 floors to venture. There will be more Angel / Holy type monsters in this, and there will be seperate floor for boss encounters. It will have quests, and will focus more on the storyline.

2. Abyss Lake Dungeon

This dungeon will have lots of Dragon-type monsters, and there are planned to have 3 floors. For boss floor, it will have a method where lots of party members must work together in order to complete.

3. Job-based quests for 2nd classes

As we did with for 1st classes, there will be quests added for 2nd classes as well. This is a method designed to help new players to play Ragnarok Online with more ease by providing them with EXP and new skills while giving them insight into the game's storyline.

4. New quest-given skills for 2nd classes

These skills are planned for the testing in this session, which is gained without any specific requirement in your existing skill tree. Each classes will have at least 1 quest-acquired skills.

5. 4 new graphics for Homunculus

This is an small expansion to Homunculus system, there will be 4 new Homunculus added sometime at later half of this year. The graphics will be added, but the stats and other information are still in planning session. We plan to test it at Fall of 2005.

6. Expanded Classes part 1.

We will be adding following expanded classes: Taekwon Boy / Girl (will probably translated into iRO as Martial Artist Boy / Girl), Kwonsung (not sure what this means, I'll find out later), and Soul Linker.

These classes are special classes that can be gotten right after Novice. This will come after thorough testing.

7. New city, Hugel.

This is the final part of 2005 Ragnarok's storyline progress.

8. Mercenary System.

Using the Homunculus system, we will test out the mercenary system in the game. We plan to further improve the system in RO even after this.
