Rappelz Patch Notes 2026 — Updates, Fixes & History
Explore the latest Rappelz Patch Notes 2026 for Rappelz Tournament, including class balance, client patches, events, bug fixes, major updates and the complete searchable update history from 2017–2026.
Last Updated: September 18, 2026
Latest Rappelz Patch Notes 2026 & Server Updates
This is the main Rappelz Patch Notes hub for Rappelz Tournament. It collects major server updates, Epic content releases, class balancing, dungeon changes, pet updates, ranked item improvements, PvP changes, seasonal events, bug fixes and quality-of-life fixes.
Older forum patch notes continue here alongside later Discord developer notes, client patches, news and announcements as one searchable development history. Major feature releases with dedicated modern guides can still link directly to those guides.
For current gameplay information, use the Rappelz Game Information Hub, 2026 class guide, pet system guide and current client download. For historical context about official Rappelz development, WEBZEN also preserves an official Rappelz expansion announcement.
Historical values can differ from the live Tournament server, so use the dated archive for change history and the linked 2026 guides for current systems.

Dear Players,
We have decided to remove the rules for Pking, as i've mentioned before in discord, we will be pushing the server towards a PVP - Pk Free server. As a high rate server obtaining decent level/reborns and fully become end gear, with or without donations made players bored farming 24/7, with the PK punishment rules setup. Enabling back PK mode and removing the rules of punishment will keep these players in our server, but this is not all... Our next focus will be class balancing, to make every class worth playing, so your feedback is important to us!

1st Anniversary! (Thank You!)
1st Anniversary! (Thank You!)
Dear Players,
It’s been exactly a year since our new server officially opened their doors for public play.
We started releasing patches on a weekly bases, to give you guys once again a great server to play on. I’ve been receiving tons of feedbacks, suggestions and great ideas, so I decided to note almost everything from the very start. Most are implemented in the server right away, and some were listed as future patches.
While working on the server, for almost a year. I've also found a great IT job. To help me pay my bills and the server costs without having to struggle to get monthly donations to keep the server online. Even the donations isn't needed to me, I do appreciate every penny that gets donated, it feels like you guys give me something back in return for the hard work to run the server, I do appreciate that! As you might know having a fulltime job and a personal life like everyone else, and a server to work on isn’t that easy, but loving what you do is something that even spending my couple hours of free time daily, it feels fulfilling to me to receive great appreciations of players all around the world, how much they love the server, this is something that keeps the engine running, to pull the server to the next level!
Developing and releasing stuff is something that requires more time, I’ve decided to dive into the coding part of Rappelz , to understand how everything works, links and are build up, to create something interesting in the future and customize the server even more in different ways.
For great things to happen, we all must have patients.
I would like to thank everyone from the very start until now, without you guys I wouldn’t be able to do what I enjoy most doing.
Kind regards,
Exterminator
