## Unsupported content

As niceRO is based on a 2007 eAthena server and a 2006-02-21 Sakray client, it does not support everything that was added to Ragnarok Online over the years. This can make viewing other wikis and guides a bit difficult as information does not always match up. Here are some high level notes on content and features not yet available in niceRO (as a general note, anything that was added with the Renewal update is not supported):

**Unsupported locations**
- Rachel
- Veins

**Unsupported jobs**
- Gunslinger
- Ninja
- All 3rd and 4th class jobs

**Unsupported features**
- Pet evolutions
- Mercenaries
- Party window health bars
- Bulletin board quests
- Eden Group
