__NOTOC__
Answers to the most frequently asked questions from our community.

== Account & Registration ==

=== What are Master Accounts and Game Accounts? ===

'''Master Account'''
* Your main account created on the website
* Used to log into the patcher
* You may only have '''one''' Master Account

'''Game Account'''
* Character accounts linked to your Master Account
* Upon registering a Master Account, a Game Account is '''automatically''' created for you
* You can create multiple Game Accounts under one Master Account
* Each Game Account has its own username and can hold multiple characters
* Select which Game Account to play from the patcher
* Multi-clienting is allowed
* You can rename and delete your Game Accounts — deleted accounts have a 7-day grace period before permanent deletion

{{Warning|We '''cannot''' restore deleted Game Accounts after the 7-day grace period.}}

{{Note|You cannot manage Game Accounts while logged in-game.}}

=== Can I share my account? ===

Account sharing is not prohibited, but not advised.

* You take full responsibility for any risks (lost items, stolen account, bans from actions taken by others)
* We cannot recover accounts or items lost due to account sharing

=== How do I recover my password? ===

Visit the [https://hymnro.com/?module=account&action=recover password recovery page] on our website and follow the instructions.

== Technical & Installation ==

=== I just downloaded the game. Why won't it open? ===

# Run the '''HymnRO Patcher'''
# Click on '''SETUP''' and choose a resolution
# Log in to the patcher using your '''Master Account''' details (email and password)
# Select your desired '''Game Account''' and press '''Start Game''' (double-click works too!)

=== Why am I asked to install .NET 8 Desktop Runtime? ===

* Our patcher is built using Microsoft's .NET technology
* .NET 8 Runtime is required to run the patcher — think of it like installing DirectX for games
* It's a safe, official Microsoft download
* You only need to install it once
* If you already have it installed, you won't be prompted again

=== "Windows protected your PC" appears when I launch the patcher ===

# Click "'''More info'''" then "'''Run anyway'''"
# This appears because our patcher is new and not widely distributed yet — it's safe!

=== Can I play on Mac or Linux? ===

Currently, the HymnRO Patcher is '''Windows-only''' due to its WebView2 dependency.

Linux compatibility is being considered for future development.

== Gameplay ==

=== Is multi-clienting allowed? ===

Yes! Our patcher supports launching multiple clients. You can run as many clients as you have Game Accounts.

Party-specific content may have reasonable limitations to encourage real multiplayer interaction.

'''No''', bots and automation macros are not allowed.

However, we do provide built-in quality-of-life features:
* Turbo (attack speed assist)
* Smart Cast
* Smart Keys

=== Where is the Job Changer / Reset NPC / Card Remover? ===

All convenience NPCs are located in our '''Main Office''' called '''Heaven'''.

Access it with: <code>@go main</code> or <code>@go 15</code>

== About HymnRO ==

=== What makes HymnRO different? ===

'''🎯 Server Vision'''

HymnRO is designed to encourage party play while maintaining flexibility for solo players. Classes like Arch Bishops should feel valuable in content again.

'''⚖️ Game Balance Philosophy'''

We're not against change — we're against ''bad'' change. Rebalancing overpowered skills or overlooked mechanics is on the table if it helps create a more engaging and varied game environment.

'''🗺️ Instance & Map Design'''

We plan to unlock a wide range of content, including older instances that are often forgotten. The goal is to have many viable farming maps, not just a handful. Daily and weekly quest systems will support players with limited time.

'''👥 Party Play vs Dual Clients'''

To support real party interactions and cooperative play, systems like individual loot rolls are being considered. Dual-clienting is allowed but may come with reasonable limitations in party-specific content.

'''💰 Economy & Zeny Flow'''

Zeny farming through vending will be carefully balanced. The focus will shift back to market-based trading, meaningful drops, MVP rewards, and rare item acquisition. Diversity in how players earn zeny is key.

'''👗 Costume Economy'''

Costumes should feel personal and rewarding. If a costume is labeled rare or exclusive, it should remain valuable. Any reintroduction of old costumes will be handled with care — respecting the original effort required to obtain them.

=== Where is the server hosted? ===

Our server is hosted in '''Germany''', providing stable connections for players in Europe and reasonable latency for other regions.
