Renegade Rally
«Renegade Rally Online» (オンラインガーデラリーナ再, renerade rally onrain), usually abbreviated as "RRO", is a new type of advanced VRMMORPG. It is compatible with any version of the FullDive and ConnectCircuit technology. The game is set to have two planets, Hōken of the East Star and Ōshū of the West Star. RRO features two types of players, samurai and knights. Though they have similar ways, they belong on different planets and use different types of skills. Samurai's belong to Hōken of the East Star in which the theme consists of ancient feudal Japan and Knight's belong to Ōshū of the West Star in which the theme consists of medieval Europe.
The backstory is that a civilization that once had prospered has now turned to a tale of dreams, as the inextinguishable flames of war tear the realm asunder. The two planets remain engulfed in endless battles. The goal is to take over each other's planets as well as rule their own planet and rise to the top. This causes own conflict in each own's planets as well.Instead of the level system that Sword Art Online emphasized, Renegade Rally Online pursues skill development and encourages killing other players. This kind of system tries to eliminate the enormous gap that exists on level-based games between new and old players.
The Hōken of the East Star belongs to players called samurais. The leader who rules the planet is called the Shogun. They form groups of players called clans and use more short based weapons such as katanas, wakizashi, tantō, and daggers. They use the conduct of Bushido.
Ōshū of the West Star belongs to players called knights. The leader who rules the planet is called the King. They form groups of players called guilds and use more long based weapons such as spears, longswords, javelins and staffs. They use the conduct of chivalry.
All players begin at the Holy Grounds Castle, a neutral area. No fighting is allowed and it is basically a floating castle that stands between planets. The players then may teleport to their own planets depending on what type of warrior they choose. From then on, you can start your own journey. You may choose to teleport to the Holy Grounds Castle if you like anytime.
The appearance of the selected character is randomized. Customization of the visual aspects of the character are allowed later on, but every change requires an additional fee.
Though there is no leveling system, all players are little to no skills in the game. Even if they are good in the real world, it will only contribute a little to their actual skills in the game, to make it equal to all players. They will have to battle against monsters and other players to gain skill points. The basis of the game's gameplay is to increase one's level, which in turn increases stats that are increased based on player's choices.
The effects of pain, hunger, thirst, sleep, etc. are 99% more effective than SAO. You must constantly build up strength to keep fighting. If these are not accomplished, you may die in the game as well. If you die in the game, whether fighting or whatnot, you will be suspended from the game for 3 hours in the normal world, and then, you may play again.
Time travels faster in RRO than the real world. 1 hour in RRO universe equals to around 15 minutes in the real world, thus players seem like they are playing for a longer amount of time.
