Orake 2D MMORPG
ORAKE CLASSIC IS NOW ONLINE!
Orake Classic is now online live on Steam! If you have any issues running the game, please visit the Discord's troubleshooting channel at https://discord.gg/yzbRwJK or see current known issues below and how to troubleshoot them.
Troubleshooting Tips:
1. The game not working, wrong .exe found, etc.
First try to restart Steam or verify the integrity of files (right-clicking Orake Classic > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files to update the game.)
If that doesn't work, then you might have to reinstall the game completely. Select uninstall from the right click menu, then reinstall after that has completed. Note that this will remove your saved username/password, so you might want to go into your install directory's config.ini to see what it was.
2. Runtime error 339: mswinsck.ocx missing.
This is a file that is missing from your sys32 folder in your windows install directory. Navigate to the game's local files (right click Orake Classic -> Properties -> Local Files tab -> Browse Local Files). Then, run the "runtime.exe" file in that folder. Finally, try running your game again.
Update: We have set a launch option for this on Steam. Make sure you install the runtime on the proper drive where you have Windows installed.
If this still doesn't work, please message "gooby" in game or on Discord to help you manually install the file.
More updates to come! Enjoy the new formula changes and Halloween events. See you in game or in the Discord!

ORAKE CLASSIC WILL RELEASE ON 10/18 AT NOON (EST)!
With the sudden exchange of hands for the ownership of the game, a team of 8 veteran Orake players have taken over and made some small and some long-awaited changes to Orake! The goal is to be setting up to release tomorrow (10/18) at Noon EST under the same Steam listing. We have undergone a LOT of changes to the game, which can be viewed in the Discord's patch notes channel or on the wiki's update page.
Along with this, we are bringing back membership and blesses for sale on the Orake website
https://orakeonline.com/shop?olsPage=products
and working closely with the community to make the Wikia the best it's ever been at https://orake.fandom.com/wiki/Orake_Wikia !
Come visit us on the new Discord at discord.gg/yzbRwJK for constant updates and chat with other Orakians!
Orake has returned as Orake Classic!
Currently, we are working on long-living bugs, quality of life updates asked for months or even years, and reinstating membership and purchasable items back into the game. We will give previous Reborn players a chance to reclaim their items from member's banks if they do not wish to purchase membership. A future goal for us is to remaster the expand the game on the Unity engine. We want to make Orake how it should have always been and with a handful of dedicated former players handling the game, that will happen!
As for newer players... hi! There are some videos on YouTube about Orake that can help you decide if you're interested in playing. Orake was inspired by games with skill-based progression, such as Runescape and Ultima Online. However, the game is still currently offline. Please hang tight until we get the game back up.
Keep yourselves updated with news and sneak peeks by joining the NEW discord (https://discord.gg/yzbRwJK) or checking out the wiki that we update frequently (https://orake.fandom.com/wiki/Orake_Wikia). The new website is currently under construction, so we will give updates on that in the discord.

This is the announcement everyone has been waiting for!
Download the Game on ITCH
All old characters and accounts have been wiped and everyone will be starting new. This re-release of the original game will be hosted indefinitely and will be free to play. There have been no major updates to the main game engine, but some minor changes have been made to general gameplay as well as the member system. See the release notes below for Orake Reborn details and changes that have been made.
Orake Reborn v1.1.0 Release Notes
All accounts have been removed and players will need to create a new account to access the game. This clears the overloaded player account lists which will improve gameplay performance, but also improve the in-game economy that was imbalanced due to exploits or purchased game advantages over the years.
A new install of the game will be required. You will no longer be able to access the game from the old install. Orake Reborn has an improved installer package and can be downloaded immediately from our page on Itch.io. The game will also be released on Steam sometime in the next few weeks as well but will exclusively be available via Itch.io for the initial release.
Website purchases for in-game items will no longer be available, however we will still be accepting donations to help with game hosting and maintenance. The donations can be made via the Itch.io website during download or through PayPal found on the Orake Reborn website.
Membership in-game is now open and free to everyone. Some member only features have been modified slightly to allow all users to access. If you had membership previously you will be given Member status on the discord server – new players and previous players who did not have membership will not be able to purchase the exclusive member designation. Additional benefits may be added in the future as well and will be announced if implemented.
In-game feature modification highlights:
New tutorial options have been added.
Ork Coins will have an increased drop rate and are now tradeable. Ork Coin Boxes are also now available.
Cosmetic shop items have now been made more affordable and some will be available to purchase from Slayer NPCs.
Server Blesses will be triggered via skilling.
Membership warps open to all, and are now level based.
The Easter event is now permanently active along with the pet token shop.
New cosmetics have been added as loot drops from various bosses!
Be on the look-out for a new in-game storyline which is directly related to the new game!
Note that no new content will be added to the original game. In-game bug reports will still be accepted but will be carefully reviewed to determine if a fix will be implemented. The goal is to keep the servers online and playable and only high severity issues will be addressed moving forward. We will now be focusing our development efforts on the sequel which is currently being developed with a modern game engine and will be much easier for us to update and add new content. It will also provide players a more stable and scalable world to explore while supporting a larger online population. We will be posting news and updates as we continue development. An Alpha release will be planned within the next couple of months to open testing to a small group of players. If you would like to be part of the Alpha testing be aware that we will be choosing the group based on how active you are in Orake Reborn and your level of interaction with us outside of the game.
The comments and feedback from the original player base drove our motivation to reopen the servers and continue development of the game sequel. We encourage everyone to post feedback and interact with us as we move forward with new development. While the original Orake will no longer include memberships or a coin shop we also ask for everyone to consider a small donation to help with server costs moving forward to keep the game alive.
The main thing we ask of those who were the most vocal about the game going down is simply this: PLAY THE GAME! Get your friends to play, log on often, and help us get word out that the game is once again alive and we have some exciting plans for the future!
Oomst Games would also like to publicly thank the players that volunteered their time over the last few weeks. Their continued ideas, effort, and passion for the game is what made this re-release a reality. They have also been an inspiration to us to keep the game alive and move forward with the new game development.
THANK YOU, Meisnereffect, Zacuum, Dude, GodKindToro, Robstinator, Lazoh, and last but not least Clairance!

Big News for Orake the 2d classic style MMORPG - NEW OWNERSHIP!
I invite everyone to join us on Discord, it has an active bunch of veteran players that like to help get newer players started. I think this game offers a terrific mix of content for new as well as veteran players of the genre. In fact I saw so much potential, I bought it!
Quick note of gratitude to Adam and Sherwin for help in getting the game content and assets to me. Also, thanks to the community of past Mods, Admins, Developers and Players who have offered encouragement, help, and tips. The support from the core community has been phenomenal, but the thing they want most, is more users.
To help build membership Orake will have a 30% Experience Bless active, this weekend, September 22nd and 23rd.
There has never been a better time to get into Orake as a new or returning player!
Excited for the future of Orake,
Brian (Smoot)
