Rubinum Classic
The Legend Returns
Remember the good old days? Alekos' trailer… that vibe… Rubinum? A new server? Hell yeah, let's dive back in.
The launch of our very first project on 27.09.2015 was over ten years ago. A lot has changed since then: the server shut down at the end of 2019, the game evolved, and honestly… we did too. Some of us are deep in real-life responsibilities, some are losing hair, and some already have kids running around.
Today, we're bringing back the OG of the scene,
Rubinum: Classic
But one thing still unites us: our love for gaming.
This project is a tribute to the roots of the Middleschool and private-server era. A full reboot of the original Rubinum brand, delivering an authentic, nostalgic experience enhanced with quality-of-life improvements and modern standards.
We won't spoil everything, read through it all and get hyped. The legend returns.
Server Concept
Our server concept creates an environment suited for both casual and hardcore players alike. These features will be showcased throughout this presentation, detail by detail.
The server is designed with a maximum level cap of 105, featuring engaging systems that provide players with an enjoyable experience throughout their journey.
Currently, we focus on Act 1, which includes content up to Red Dragon Fortress and Nemere's Watchtower.

- After 3 consecutive failures, the 4th attempt is guaranteed to succeed
Refill System
Dragon Stones now require refilling using Potions of Time, purchasable with Cor Draconis. Permanent stones are no longer obtainable, except for PvP players, who can still earn them.

Equipment
We have a total of 4 tiers: Tier 0 (Novice), Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3
It might seem confusing at first, but our goal was to balance the original Rubinum philosophy of adapting and optimizing the base game with the modern approach of having fixed equipment sets for each level range.
Since the original game had various equipment breakpoints (e.g., Lv. 33 Earrings still used at Lv. 99), we combined both philosophies. Some equipment paths have fewer steps, others have more, but it becomes intuitive once you dive in.
Combination System
At certain points, you can combine different equipment pieces into a new one, as you may know from previous Rubinum servers.

Thank You
First of all: Thank you to everyone who read all the way to this point!
We're bringing back the golden days, and going far beyond them, creating a new meta of content and gameplay that will put the entire Midschool scene in the shadows!
You've probably noticed that this presentation didn't focus heavily on PvP or guild content. The reason is simple: 90% of players on a private server experience the game almost like a PvE singleplayer, and that's completely fine.
Because of that, we decided not to force PvP and guild content at launch. Instead, we want to develop that content together with you, fix the weak spots, and shape a truly solid experience that will reintroduce you to the glorious old days of PvP and guild action!
Unlike the competition, who are also doing a great job, we don't want to drift too far from the core gameplay. We want to stay true to what Rubinum has always stood for, and what made it successful in the first place: being a better version of the original game.
