The Masters of Raana website is well maintained and often updated, so it's necessary for you to update your game files often.
Because the Masters of Raana website is well-maintained and frequently updated, you should regularly update your game files.


Server: We run our own server, which is in the EU and is well-protected. All our sites require SSL-encryption. You will notice the "https" connection. All our download links are ad-free and contain no malware or viruses. Our Server Team hopes to offer you an efficient and professional service with it. 
We operate our own server, which is located in the European Union and is quite secure. SSL encryption is mandatory on all of our sites. You'll note that the connection is "https." Each of our download URLs is ad-free and virus-free. Our Server Team is hopeful that it will provide you with an efficient and professional service.


We also offer an online-game version that always includes the latest update. You just need to press "refresh" on your browser to get the most up-to-date game. You are even able to download the whole game to your local device, so you can play it offline if you find that more useful for you. You can always toggle from offline gaming to online gaming and back. The only thing that you have to do before ending a session is click on the Save-Button and choose "Save-to-Disk". All your progress will be saved in a small file and stored on your device.
Additionally, we provide an online version of the game that is always up to date. To obtain the most recent version of the game, simply click "refresh" on your browser. You can even download the entire game to your local device if that is more convenient for you. You may always switch back and forth between offline and online play. Before you terminate a session, all you have to do is click the Save-Button and select "Save-to-Disk." All of your progress will be stored on your device in a small file.


If you start a new session, simply click on "Load from Disk" and you will be at the same point as when you left the game. It doesn't matter if you have played online before and now use your offline game... or vice versa. You will never lose anything if you "Save-to-Disk".
If you start a new session, simply click "Load from Disk" to resume where you left off. It makes no difference whether you previously played online and are currently playing offline... or vice versa. When you "Save-to-Disk," you will never lose anything.


Note that it is not recommended to load the save file from the most recent version of the game into older versions of the game because it might not work. 
It is not suggested that you load a save file from the most recent version of the game into an older version of the game since this may cause the game to crash.

[[File:Start-load.png|right|300px]]
Masters of Raana is a free online game available on all of our server pages. What exactly does this imply?


First: You don't need to download anything. Masters of Raana (MoR) runs "out of the box" in your favorite browser. We recommend using any of the Chromiums, Chromes, or older Brave "Twins" - all are forks from the early Chromium. MoR runs best with this browser family. Other browsers may work well too, but it's not certain to know. So if you visit one of our server pages - for example: [https://www.mastersofraana.com/public/ Public-Server]: Simply click on Online-Game and in a new tab you will be able to start a new game.
To begin, there is no need to download anything. Masters of Raana (MoR) runs natively in your preferred browser. We recommend that you use any of the Chromiums, Chromes, or older Brave "Twins"—all of which are forks of the original Chromium. MoR performs optimally with this browser family. Other browsers may operate as well, but this is not assured. Therefore, if you visit one of our server pages, such as '''<span class="newtab">[https://www.mastersofraana.com/public/ Public-Server]</span>''', simply click on Online-Game and you will be able to start a new game in a new tab.


However, in MoR, it is also possible to load a previous save-game. That is a great advantage of MoR. Every time you press "End Day", it saves your games in the first slot of your "Save-Menu". But in this dialog, you are even able to press "Save to Disk" - your whole game progress will be saved in a small file that will be stored on your local device that you are gaming with. Your browser will offer you your most recent download folder on your device. There will be added a file called "slavemasters-of-haalu-"Date"-"Time".save. This file you can rename so that you can later recognize what progress you have already made. Maybe "Amelia+Juno.save" - who knows what you like?
However, it is possible to load a previous save game in MoR. That is a significant benefit of MoR. Each time you press "End Day," your games are automatically saved in the first slot of your "Save-Menu". However, you can hit "Save to Disk" in this menu to save your whole game progress to a tiny file that will be stored on the local device that you are gaming on. Your browser will present you with your device's most recent download folder. A file called "slavemasters-of-haalu-"Date"-"Time" will be added. Save. This file can be renamed so that you can later identify your progress. Perhaps "Amelia+Juno.save" who knows what appeals to you?


If you decide to end your game, your game progress will be stored on your device. So, if you later open your browser and click on "Online-Game," you will be able to load the save game from your device without having to restart, as in many other online games. After clicking on "Load Game" (as you can see on the right side here), you only need to click on "Load from Disk" if the shown list is empty. Then you will be able to select one of your saved game files on your device. If you confirm your choice - MoR starts in the game at this point, at the last time you pressed "Save to Disk". So don't forget to save after some time spent in the game...
If you choose to stop playing the game, your progress will be saved on your device. Thus, if you later open your browser and click on "Online-Game," you can load the stored game from your device without having to restart, as is the case with many other online games. After clicking "Load Game" (as shown on the right), you will only need to click "Load from Disk" if the displayed list is empty. Then you'll be able to select one of your device's saved game files. If you confirm your selection, MoR begins in the game from the point where you last pressed "Save to Disk." Therefore, do not forget to save after spending some time in the game.

It is not suggested that you load a save file from the most recent version of the game into an older version of the game since this may cause the game to crash.

So the choice is yours!

Online

Masters of Raana is a free online game available on all of our server pages. What exactly does this imply?

To begin, there is no need to download anything. Masters of Raana (MoR) runs natively in your preferred browser. We recommend that you use any of the Chromiums, Chromes, or older Brave "Twins"—all of which are forks of the original Chromium. MoR performs optimally with this browser family. Other browsers may operate as well, but this is not assured. Therefore, if you visit one of our server pages, such as Public-Server, simply click on Online-Game and you will be able to start a new game in a new tab.

However, it is possible to load a previous save game in MoR. That is a significant benefit of MoR. Each time you press "End Day," your games are automatically saved in the first slot of your "Save-Menu". However, you can hit "Save to Disk" in this menu to save your whole game progress to a tiny file that will be stored on the local device that you are gaming on. Your browser will present you with your device's most recent download folder. A file called "slavemasters-of-haalu-"Date"-"Time" will be added. Save. This file can be renamed so that you can later identify your progress. Perhaps "Amelia+Juno.save" — who knows what appeals to you?

If you choose to stop playing the game, your progress will be saved on your device. Thus, if you later open your browser and click on "Online-Game," you can load the stored game from your device without having to restart, as is the case with many other online games. After clicking "Load Game" (as shown on the right), you will only need to click "Load from Disk" if the displayed list is empty. Then you'll be able to select one of your device's saved game files. If you confirm your selection, MoR begins in the game from the point where you last pressed "Save to Disk." Therefore, do not forget to save after spending some time in the game.

Public Game

Our server hosts the online game, which you may access here: Public-Server

You may play the online version on this page. As a result, you do not need to download the entire game. You're always running the most recent version of the game.

Additionally, two links are located at the bottom of our public website. The "Start-Game-File-Only" Link points to the game's most recent "start game.html" file. If just minor modifications are made, such as developer-supplied bug fixes, you merely need to update the HTML.

In this instance, all you need to do is download this little file (about 1.2 MB). It will be extracted to your local game folder and will overwrite the existing one.

The second link, titled "Full-Game," contains the entire game. It is necessary to download it in order to play the most recent offline game (actual about 440MB). The download-size will raise a little with every new update of the game, because new pics, sounds etc. are added to it.

SubscribeStar Members Game

We've dedicated a separate gaming-area page on our server to subscribers. This page contains the same assortment of online games as the public-games page. This page allows you to access your SubscribeStar-exclusive privileges.

Additionally, if you are a member, you should have access to it.

If not, log in to your SubscribeStar.Adult account and check the subscriber-only posts.

Additionally, you will gain access to our Forum's exclusive SS-Member-Area in the future. It's a work in progress at the moment, but it will be completed sooner or later;-).

You can already register for it, but we ask that you use the same handle/nickname on Discord and SubscribeStar in order for us to assign you to the relevant SSA-Content. There, you'll find a list of all the links—for your convenience.

Alpha (test server) Game

Alpha testers will also have access to a separate version of the game that will allow them to thoroughly test it for issues before it is released to the general public. We also give them an online version and the same two download links as the public game.

If you're interested in becoming an Alpha-Tester, please join us on our Discord server. After that, you can request to be added.
