Server Back Online — CBT Data Wipe Complete
GudzRO is back online. Tonight's CBT Data Wipe is complete.
Log in with your existing account and create a new character. CBT characters and progress
from before tonight have been reset. Your login is unchanged.
This is a clean baseline for the rest of Closed Beta. Progress from this point is intended
to carry into Open Beta on October 1, 2026, unless a major issue forces another reset.
We are still in CBT — Open Beta has not started yet.
The world is open now. See you in-game, adventurers.

Scheduled Maintenance — CBT Data Wipe
Complete. The September 15 overnight window is finished and the world is back online.
See
Server Back Online — CBT Data Wipe Complete.
10:00 PM, September 15, 2026 through 8:00 AM, September 16, 2026 (server time)
GudzRO will be offline for scheduled maintenance starting 10:00 PM, September 15, 2026
through 8:00 AM, September 16, 2026 (server time), as part of the previously announced
CBT Data Wipe.
What this means:
- The game server (login, character select, and world) will be unreachable for the full maintenance window.
- Current CBT character progress will be reset to establish a clean baseline ahead of Open Beta.
- Your account itself is not affected — log back in as normal once maintenance ends.
- Progress made after this wipe is intended to carry into Open Beta on October 1, 2026, provided no major issue requires another reset.
We'll post here and in Discord the moment the server is back up. Thank you for your patience,
adventurers — see you on the other side!

CBT Data Wipe & Open Beta Schedule
September 15, 2026 — CBT Data Wipe
October 1, 2026 — Target Open Beta Launch
GudzRO is moving into the next stage of testing as we prepare for Open Beta.
Until October 1, the server remains in Closed Beta / final testing — Open Beta has
not begun yet.
On September 15, 2026 we performed a CBT data wipe to establish a clean
baseline for the final preparation period. The game was offline for scheduled maintenance
from 10:00 PM September 15 through 8:00 AM September 16, 2026 (server time).
That window is complete — see
Server Back Online — CBT Data Wipe Complete
and the original
Scheduled Maintenance — CBT Data Wipe
notice. CBT players can log back in and continue playing and testing.
Progress made after the September 15 wipe is intended to carry into Open Beta on
October 1, 2026, provided no major technical, gameplay, database, economy, or balance issues
are discovered during the final testing period. Because GudzRO will still be in CBT until
Open Beta officially begins, we cannot guarantee that another reset will not be necessary.
If a major issue could affect the integrity or fairness of the server, we reserve the option
to perform another reset before OBT.
If the final testing period goes smoothly, GudzRO Open Beta is targeted to begin on
October 1, 2026, with progress accumulated after the September 15 wipe
continuing forward. Keep testing, exploring, and reporting anything unusual during this
important final stage.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us test and improve GudzRO. Your feedback has played
an important part in getting the server ready for the next chapter.
September 15 — Fresh Start.
October 1 — Target Open Beta Launch.
2026-09-09 — Roadmap
Preparing for Open Beta
Schedule update: dates are now published. See
CBT Data Wipe & Open Beta Schedule
(September 15 wipe; October 1, 2026 — Target Open Beta Launch).
Founder Closed Beta has given us weeks of hands-on feedback that's made GudzRO noticeably
more stable and complete — and that work continues. Public registration is open now,
so if you haven't joined yet, you can
create an account
and start playing today.
Right now our focus is on stability, polish, and testing — the groundwork for our next
major milestone, Open Beta. Open Beta hasn't officially begun yet, and we don't have
a launch date to share, but everything you experience and report during this period
keeps helping us get there. We'll announce it here the moment we're ready.
2026-09-06 — Patcher
Patcher Connectivity Issue Resolved
Some players may have seen the Patcher briefly fail to check for updates today — this is now
resolved, and no patches, accounts, or game data were affected. If you downloaded the standalone
Patcher (not the full client) today specifically, please grab it again from
Downloads
— a brief window served an older build, which still works fine, but the current one is ready now.
2026-09-05 — Updates
Map Attack Redesigned, Plus Event Fixes
The Map Attack event has been completely redesigned — a proper three-wave structure across
all five towns, a rotating Town Guardian boss, and a new two-boss finale against Tito Bossing
and Moonlight Flower, with all-new dialogue and a 3-day rotation so it stays fresh. We also
fixed the Bomb Poring and Last Man Standing events, both of which could previously be won
instantly just by joining alone with no real challenge — Bomb Poring now requires
surviving all five waves, and Last Man Standing correctly cancels if not enough players
register (and no longer strands a solo registrant on the arena map). Last Man Standing's
reward was also updated to match Bomb Poring's (50 Event Points + 1 MVP Coin). See
Patch Notes
for details.
2026-09-04 — Community
Founder Closed Beta Is Now Open to Everyone
You no longer need an invite code to join Founder Closed Beta — anyone can
create an account
and start playing today. We've also published full step-by-step walkthroughs for Taekwon, Ninja,
Gunslinger, Star Gladiator, and Soul Linker on the new
Guides
page, and shipped a batch of fixes — including Bio Lab 3's random MVP spawning correctly
again and Hide/Cloak properly hiding your Falcon on PvP maps — see
Patch Notes
for the full list.
2026-08-31 — Updates
Recent Closed Beta Updates
We've shipped a batch of Closed Beta improvements, including new Costume EXP & Drop bonuses, a
movement-speed fix for Sleipnir and Moonlight Flower Card, and a new Ancient Whisper quest — see
Patch Notes
for the full list. We've also updated the GudzRO Patcher itself for safer, clearer updates. Download the
latest GudzRO Patcher from
Downloads
and install it into your GudzRO folder — there's no need to redownload the full client if you
already have it installed.
2026-08-15 — Client
RC02 Client Available
The GudzRO client has moved to RC02, available now on the
Downloads
page. This release improves how the Patcher launches the game, so Play
should work reliably for everyone. If you're on an earlier build, grab the update from
Downloads — see Patch Notes
for what changed.
2026-08-07 — Testing
Closed Beta Is Underway
Schedule update: see
CBT Data Wipe & Open Beta Schedule
for the September 15 wipe and October 1, 2026 — Target Open Beta Launch dates.
GudzRO is currently in Closed Beta. Invited testers are helping validate gameplay,
progression, client stability, and the overall player experience before a wider
launch. Characters and progress created during this phase may be wiped before Open
Beta — thank you for helping us build the fairest Ragnarok Online experience.
