At RiftRO, we understand the importance of balancing server support with a fair and competitive gaming experience. That’s why we’ve built a Cash System that is fair, transparent, and non-pay-to-win. Everyone—whether they donate or not—can access the same items, rewards, and opportunities.
💸 What is Cash?
Cash is one of the main currencies in the server. It can be used in the Cash Shop to purchase useful items like consumables, cosmetics, quality-of-life services, and more. However:
🔁 Everything available in the Cash Shop can also be obtained through in-game means—no exceptions.
This means that Cash does not provide an unfair advantage; it simply offers a convenience to players who wish to support the server financially.
🤝 How Can I Get Cash?
| Method | Real Money Involved? | Available to Everyone? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Donations | ✅ | ✅ | Donors support the server and receive Cash in return as appreciation. |
| Buying Cash Scrolls from Players | ❌ | ✅ | Players who don’t donate can buy Cash Scrolls with Zeny from other players. |
| Event Rewards | ❌ | ✅ | Some events may reward participants with Cash or Cash Scrolls. |
🧠 Cash circulates in the economy, meaning free-to-play players can still earn it through player trade and participation.
❌ Is RiftRO Pay-to-Win?
Absolutely not. We are firmly committed to a Play-to-Win philosophy.
- 💎 Donated? Amazing! You’re helping keep the server alive and improving.
- 🎮 Didn’t donate? No problem! Your time, feedback, and participation are just as valuable.
We believe in rewarding effort, skill, and dedication—not money. Donating won’t make you stronger than someone who plays consistently and knows the game well.
💬 Why Does the Cash System Exist?
Running a high-quality server requires real-world resources: servers, security, development time, hosting, and more. Donations help us keep the lights on, but they’re not a shortcut to power.
Instead, we see the Cash System as a way for supporters to contribute to the community, while keeping the game fair and enjoyable for everyone.
✅ Staff Commitments
We promise the following:
- We will never sell overpowered or exclusive items that disrupt balance.
- Everything in the Cash Shop will always be accessible in-game.
- We will continuously monitor and adjust the system based on community feedback.
Whether you donate or not, RiftRO is your home, and we’re committed to making it a fair and fun place for everyone.
If you enjoy the project and want to help it grow, donating is appreciated—but never required to succeed or enjoy the full game.
