Netmarble has opened sign-ups for ZERO, a fresh start server for its dark fantasy MMORPG RAVEN2. It is a separate server with its own rules, built around slower monetization pressure and far less forced PvP than the live servers. The grand opening lands on September 15, 2026 (UTC+0), and the sign-up window closes the same day.
Quick answer: Submit your email on the official ZERO pre-registration page before September 15, 2026, 14:59 (UTC+0) to claim the [ZERO] Special Starter Package.
RAVEN2 ZERO pre-registration deadline and launch date
Two dates matter, and they sit on the same day. Pre-registration runs until September 15, 2026 (Tue) at 14:59 UTC+0, and the ZERO server itself opens on September 15 (UTC+0). Miss the 14:59 cutoff and the starter package is gone, even if you create a character on ZERO later.
Note: pre-registration happens on a dedicated ZERO website using an email address. It is not the same as pre-ordering or installing the game through a store page.
How to pre-register for the ZERO server
What the ZERO Special Starter Package contains
The package is a head start on gear and currency rather than cosmetics. It covers both of the game’s stat-boosting systems, Holy Garments and Familiars, plus enough Gold to cover early enhancement costs.
| Reward | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Heroic Holy Garment (1) Summon Scroll | 1 |
| Heroic Familiar (1) Summon Scroll | 1 |
| Elite Spec. C Member’s Accessory Selection Chest | 1 |
| +2 Dazzling Relic Chest (4 Types) | 1 set |
| Spec. C Enhancement Stone Chest | 200 |
| Gold | 5,000,000 |
How ZERO’s rules differ from the existing RAVEN2 servers
ZERO is the first fresh start server introduced since RAVEN2 launched, and the rule changes are the actual selling point. Two of the game’s heaviest paid power systems are gone, and open-world ganking is off the table entirely.
| System | How it works on ZERO |
|---|---|
| Progression currency | Farmed Crystals earned from field hunting |
| Drop rates and EXP | Significantly higher equipment drop rate and field hunting EXP |
| Paid power systems | Mythic Summons and Awakening removed, narrowing the power gap |
| Open-world PvP | Unrestricted PvP removed, so other players cannot attack you freely |
| Group content | Guild-focused Field Boss hunts and a revamped Abyss |
| Combat tuning | Rebalanced Accuracy |
Launch events running on ZERO after the server opens
The opening event is the largest summon giveaway the game has run, handing out up to 550 Summon Scrolls. Taking part also guarantees a Legendary Holy Garment and Familiar, and weekly Heroic Holy Garment or Familiar rewards continue through the first month after launch.
A second batch of events covers gear and levelling. The Special Corps Member Growth Event awards high-grade items, including Heroic equipment and skill books, simply for playing, while the Level Milestone Event hands out chests as your character hits set levels.
Festival of Legends rewards for players on existing servers
You do not have to abandon your current character to benefit. Existing servers get the Festival of Legends Appreciation Gift alongside the ZERO opening, which includes 330 Summon Scrolls plus a Legendary Holy Garment and Familiar.
RAVEN2 is a free-to-play cross-platform MMORPG from Netmarble Monster, playable on Windows, Android and iOS with shared progression across devices. ZERO does not replace the live servers, so the practical decision is whether you want a level playing field with removed Mythic Summons and no open-world PK, or your existing character and its accumulated gear. Signing up costs nothing either way, and the deadline is fixed at 14:59 UTC+0 on September 15.
