For players who missed launch, a fast Academy server opened on 3 July at 22:00 with raised EXP, drop and NP rates. The Academy closed on 23 July at 23:59, its characters moved to PRUVA, and PRUVA came back online on 24 July at 22:00.

The move kept items in the inventory and the Magic Bag. Coins, GB, Gold and Silver Bars, stackable items such as BUS and Opal, all Monster Stone types, gems and boxes, the bank, the VIP vault and the clan bank did not carry over. Academy characters got an [Akademi] tag in front of their names.

Short answer

OldSchoolKO PRUVA is a hard-rate V1098 MYKO server that opened on 5 June 2026. There is no talisman, DKS, tattoo, wing or perk system, and EXP, items and coins are tuned to be slow to earn.
