As the maps are the same as in RO, you get to explore the original five cities of Midgards including Prontera, Izlude Island, Alberta, Payon and Geffen. If you don’t want to go to targeted locations on foot or by yourself, the game offers auto-pathing mode to lead your characters to the destinations automatically, which can save a lot of time if two places are far away on the map.

The auto-battle system can be customized in many ways to help players automatically fight against monsters and earn EXP. You can set the AFK range to nearby, on-screen or on the whole map, and also set the time duration to return to original position.

These interactions between online players around the world makes the game even more fun to play.
