[Benchmark] Final Results: Horizon vs Hercules vs rAthena Response Time Test - The Winner Is...

Protos · August 20, 2025Aug 20

Hello everyone, After a rigorous and fair benchmarking competition between the three major Ragnarok server emulatorsâHorizon, Hercules, and rAthenaâI'm excited to announce the final results and crown the winner! Test Methodology: - All servers were set up with identical world states: the npc folder was removed (renamed to npc-removed) to ensure no NPC scripts or events could affect performance. Only the core source code differed. - The test measured the average response time for walk (move)

Horizon System Routines (Functions) - The Most Important Part of The Core

Protos · July 28, 2025Jul 28

This is a basic write-up of the main routines and main system functions of Horizon emulator. This is in essence the most important part of the core. Horizon was made to first just outline the basic needs of a software before it introduced different threading environments with its new design. With the new design, we introduced 5 different components of the Horizon Kernel and its architecture - The Console Module - 1 Thread only The Network Module The Script-VM Module The Game Logic Module The

Horizon's PTS is used for testing and serving the community with a server that showcases Horizon and its features. The community is welcome to use it for the benefit of testing and finding errors. So lets get down to it - Download the @bio provided Horizon client from here. Change the IP Address in data/clientinfo.xml to 15.235.163.198. Connect using the "_m" or "_f" method. In this method you add a suffix "_m" for male characters or "_f" for female characters to your username in your account

Single Threaded (Hercules/rAthena) Vs Multithreaded Design (Horizon)
Single Threaded (Hercules/rAthena) Vs Multithreaded Design (Horizon)

Protos · February 17, 2025Feb 17

So, what if I was to say that having a road with 5 lanes is better than having a road with 1. There is a lot more room for cars and they can pass through on different lanes. We can categorize roads by high speed or low speed vehicles. We can bring in more cars to move and pass through in other lanes. We can't do this if we have only 1 lane. That is the benefit of a multithreaded service or a multithreaded server.â¬Ã¡ There are several reasons why multithreading is required for a server but a lo

Introduction One of the most common questions that comes to mind when thinking of using a brand new emulator is - How is Horizon? and where does it stand as a software compared to rAthena, Hercules or any emulator of the eA family? Horizon came with the philosophy of creating a new emulator from scratch by - Understanding the code complexities of the previous generation and untangling the problems encountered in them within the new generation. Not repeating the same mistakes as which were creat
