Background
The beta version of International ROSE opened in 2004 and closed on August 31st, 2005. Being free-to-play, ROSE was quite popular at the time with thousands of players connected at any given time. Actually, connecting to the server itself was hard at moments and the login-server would often show all 3 channels as "Exceeded".
Closing
This is the last message from the iROSE GM Team prior to the final server shutdown on August 31st, 2005:

Dear all
This is I-Rose Chief GM from Gravity.
I am here today to let you know that after 7 months beta testing, and now, we will have to close the I-Rose servers at 31st August, 2005.
Its been our pleasure to spend those time with you. You support, love, suggestion and even criticism are truly appreciated.
Recently, we've experienced a surge of hacking and other managerial issue, we deeply apologize for that, we believe that we are just experiencing the pain of growth, but ROSE Online definitely will be greatly improved with your attention and love.
You will soon again enjoy "ROSE" in our European and US server, we will put our best effort to provide you a more mature and stable ROSE Online.
Once again, your sincere love and interest will be remembered here forever.
Thank you very much!
IROSE GM TEAM
