You learn to walk away
Retreating costs you nothing. One more pull can cost you the whole character.
Metin2 as a roguelite — one life per character
Every run is unique. Death is permanent. Leveling up grants you the opportunity to choose one of three random passives, making each attempt unique.
Unique progression
WikiEvery level up offers you three permanent stat boosts, drawn at random. Keep one, or reroll for a different three. The one you keep stays on the character.
Nobody is offered the same choices, so no two characters are built the same way, and a build you liked dies with the character that carried it.
As you level up, the available choices become stronger and stronger.
Bloodline
WikiYour bloodline never dies.
Bloodline is permanent progression that survives every death. Every monster you kill also levels up your account.
Each account level gives you a point to spend in a talent tree shared by every character you make.
Start at a higher level, rescue items from a death, find better drops, ride stronger horses and more.
Every ten account levels also earns you an Extra Life: one death that doesn't end the run.
When you die
When your character dies you wont be able to play it again. Everything it was carrying is also lost: equipment, inventory, levels, skills, passives.
- Towns, and the ground you arrive on, are always safe — nothing can touch you there.
- Duels, the arena, guild wars, sieges and the three-way war cost you nothing. Go and lose them.
- While you're farming, other players cannot ambush you — only the monster you're fighting can still end your run.
- Nobody from another kingdom can touch you at all unless one of you goes aggressive first. Once that happens, it is a real fight like any other.
Your account is untouched: remaining character slots and your storage are exactly as you left them.
How it changes the way you play
You go out prepared, or not at all
The careless deaths you shrug off on an ordinary server are the ones that end a character here.
You keep an eye out for the patrols
Imperial guards roam the open world and cut down anyone who goes aggressive against another player. Farm near one and a PK looking for an easy kill has to get past it first.
Levelling up
Faster levelling
EXP rates are tuned around the run — fast enough that progression stays fun, slow enough that reaching a level still means something.
Every level pays
A yang reward on each level, scaling as you climb — the deeper you get, the more the next level is worth.
Pick a passive each level
Three offered at random, you keep one. No two characters develop the same way, and you never rebuild the same build twice.
How it differs
| RogueMT2 | Ordinary Metin2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Death | The character is fallen | Respawn, small penalty |
| Your gear when you die | Out of reach | Still yours |
| Risk while farming | The whole character | Almost nothing |
| What a high level proves | Survival | Time played |
| On every level up | Three passives offered, you keep one | Stat and skill points |
| Yang for levelling | Paid each level, scaling as you climb | None |
