One of the longest running free to play MMORPGs in the West is giving players a faster way back in for the holidays, as Metin2 opens temporary boost servers this Friday on the road to its 20th anniversary in January 2027, with doubled drops, experience boosts and a celebration shaped by the community itself.

Metin2 is counting down to 20 years of service on January 12, 2027. Gameforge’s free-to-play action MMORPG is opening temporary Yohara Boost servers this Friday, November 13, giving new and returning players a faster start before a celebration shaped by the community itself.

Start fresh over the holidays

Open from November 13 at 10:00 CET (09:00 UTC) through February 24, 2027, the servers offer doubled base item drops, EXP boosts and easier enemies to help players build a new character. One server opens in each of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Turkey. Players can earn transfers through missions and continue into Yohara, Metin2’s high-level continent, on eligible regular servers afterward. See the official Yohara Boost Server FAQ for rewards and transfer rules.

New combat options with Yin and Yang

October’s Update 26.2, Aamon’s Legacy, adds new ways to shape a character’s fighting style. Players combine compatible Yin & Yang seals in their gear: Yin sets the trigger, while Yang modifies the effect. Options include reviving in stealth or dealing extra damage to enemies low on health.

Two decades with the community

The anniversary will leave a mark on the game itself. The fan-art contest’s top three entries will become loading screens, with winners revealed during the January 8-10 livestreams. Fan-art submissions have closed, but item design entries remain open until November 22 and cosplay until December 6. Winning designs will become future in-game items or inspire a new character.

January’s streams will also bring Gameforge’s product managers and Webzen developers together for community Q&As on the game’s past and future. A new in-game anniversary event starts January 12.
