CLASSIC METIN2 · A NEW CHAPTER
The world you remember.A journey of your own.
Three kingdoms, familiar classes and equipment worth finding. OldEra brings the spirit of 2009 together with a little help finding your way back.
Open betaBack to the three kingdoms.
Choose Warrior, Ninja, Sura or Shaman. Start in the old villages and work towards your next weapon, skill book and dungeon run. Classic areas form the world of this beta.
The test of courage – bare-handed.
Everyone starts the same way: five wild dogs, no weapon. While you fight unarmed, your fists hit extra hard. Afterwards you receive your class starter gear. Click the quest scroll – just like in the game.
What you work towards.
The weapons everyone talks about – and how to get them. Costs, chances and materials come straight from the game tables.
No two weapons are alike.
Full Moon Sword, Poison Sword and friends work like back then: every one of these weapons rolls its own average damage (AD) and skill damage (SD) on drop. More AD means less SD – and vice versa. Roll yourself: the same formula as on the server.
Practise like against real players.
Next to the training stone in every city stands the PvP test. From level 30 you call a training opponent there: you choose class, doctrine and strength, and it fights back like a player. At the training stone you measure your damage – the best single hit of the week enters the ranking; in PvP only hits on players on another computer count. The weekly winner gets a reward after the reset on Monday at 10:00 UTC.
A destination for every farming trip.
Been away for a while? Your journey in the hub suggests goals for your level. Pick an item, see its sources and find out where to go next.
A guide that follows your level.
Every enemy with its real loot.
Hit points, experience, yang, locations and every drop with its chance – exactly as the in-game wiki shows them. Hover over the loot: it is the in-game tooltip.
Familiar faces. Useful answers.

Weapons and armour on your Hub wishlist show up in chat as soon as someone lists exactly that item – buy now or auction, on any channel, at most once per minute per item.
Search agent for everyone
The search agent in the Messenger watches the market and alerts you as soon as a wanted item is offered up to your maximum price. 2 slots for everyone, 5 with VIP.
Bid like the old days – without the waiting.
Rare pieces do not need a fixed price: set a starting price, optionally a buyout price, choose the duration – the bids do the rest.
- Bid or buy out without loading screens – the Yang is booked at once.
- Outbid? Your Yang is back in your Collection box immediately, and you get a message if you are online.
- A fair finish: minimum raise +2%; a bid in the last 2 minutes extends the auction to 2 minutes.
- 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours. Auctions count towards your offers (12 to 24 slots), 3% fee on sale.
What is an item worth right now?
The market price page on this website shows the median and average price per piece from real sales of the last 7 and 30 days – without player names.
Level 99 is not the end – it is a gate.
Once you have reached level 99 by playing, you may return to level 1 of your own free will at the Phoenix of Origin and ascend – up to three times. Each ascension takes you a third of the way back to the 2009 experience curve. In return you carry your seal above your head, hit harder in PvP, get more inventory pages and climb the Ascension ranking.
The Phoenix of Origin
It watches over the three paths on the central guild square of every capital. Talk to it and choose “Guide” – a window of its own explains the curve, costs, rewards and the Royal Armour. Choose “Ascension” to take your next step.
New in every NPC dialogue: the fast-forward button plays the text at double or four times the speed, or shows it instantly (x2 / x4 / Instant).

You choose how much 2009 you want.
Levels 1–55 stay the same for everyone. From level 56 on, each ascension moves the experience curve a third closer to the 2009 original – on the Path of Origin you play it exactly as it was.

Every tier makes you stronger against other players.
Each ascension grants “Strong against Half Humans” and the same value as defence against warriors, ninjas, suras and shamans: +2%, +4% and, on the Path of Origin, +6%.
The values replace each other and do not add up: tier III gives +6%, not +12%. You can see them in the bonus window (B).
After the ascension, your skills count as M1 at most against players while you are below level 60; against monsters they keep their full strength.

“Ascended” rank
Every ascension is announced server-wide and counts in the Ascension ranking. Inventory pages belong to the character (2 without ascension), storage pages to your whole account – the highest tier among your characters counts.
The Royal Armour
Whoever reaches Ascension III receives the Royal Armour +0 – dressed as a king or queen, with the same stats for every class; you can wear it from level 99. Only Jegal-Tunseok, the smith of kings, can refine it from +1 to +9. If an attempt fails, the level stays – only the materials and Yang are used up.
Stats from +0 to +9| +0 | +9 | |

Why OldEra exists.
About fifteen years ago my first own Metin2 server ran in a kid's bedroom – over Hamachi, for a handful of friends. Since then I have played Metin2 for many years, on big servers and small ones.
The dream stayed: a server that feels like 2009 – and one I do not design alone at a desk, but together with the people who play it. What is good stays. What is broken gets changed. Openly and traceably.
Over the last months that turned into OldEra: server, client, launcher, an in-game wiki, the Hub, a player market that also works offline, and a beta in eight languages. A lot is finished, some of it still rough. That is exactly what the beta is for.
If you know Metin2 and want to say honestly what feels right and what does not – you are in the right place. And if you want more than testing: we are looking for people for the team. For tests, community, translations, quests, client or design.
- Weekly rankings and a Hall of Fame for PvM and PvP
- Classic 2009: level 1–99, three kingdoms, four classes
- Changes are made together with the community
- Eight languages, download without password
