ROM Golden Age has officially joined the CROSS platform, marking a significant expansion for the open Web3 gaming ecosystem and its games-first blockchain infrastructure. The onboarding represents a key milestone in the convergence of blockchain technology and mainstream online gaming, particularly within the global MMORPG segment. The initiative reflects a shared strategic direction between NEXUS and Redlab Games to embed blockchain functionality into high-quality game experiences without compromising the core mechanics valued by traditional players.
NEXUS, a South Korea–based game company, brings extensive experience in multi-platform development and Web3 infrastructure. The company provides on-chain tools that allow studios to introduce blockchain features with minimal friction, including wallet-optional onboarding, gas-free microtransactions, and interoperability across titles. In parallel, Redlab Games contributes its expertise as a leading MMORPG developer known for delivering intense and immersive gameplay experiences.
Evolving a Proven MMORPG Franchise
ROM Golden Age on CROSS represents a blockchain-enhanced evolution of ROM Remember of Majesty, Redlab Games’ flagship MMORPG. The new version preserves the franchise’s defining elements, such as deep character progression, large-scale player-versus-player combat, and a robust MMORPG framework. At the same time, it introduces blockchain-based systems aimed at improving player ownership, transparency, and long-term sustainability.
Rather than restructuring gameplay around token incentives alone, blockchain integration is implemented at the infrastructure level through the CROSS Protocol developed by NEXUS. This approach allows in-game economies and digital assets to operate within a broader on-chain ecosystem while maintaining gameplay continuity. The goal is to support long-term stability without disrupting the experience that existing players expect.
From an economic standpoint, the game is built around a value-preserving token model supported by the limited supply of the ROMx token. The design prioritizes sustainability and responsible economic balance over short-term speculation, ensuring that blockchain technology reinforces rather than undermines gameplay integrity.
A Global One-Build Competitive Experience
One of the defining features of ROM Golden Age on CROSS is its Global One-build service. This structure enables players from different regions to compete in a unified, nation-versus-nation environment. By allowing real-time interaction across borders, the game creates large-scale competitive dynamics on a global level.

Player-Driven Economy and Marketplace Systems
ROM Golden Age on CROSS features a sophisticated player-driven economy supported by both direct player-to-player trading and a global marketplace. Items can be freely exchanged, allowing supply and demand to develop organically based on in-game activity rather than artificial constraints.
A dedicated sealing system further expands economic depth. Costumes and Guardians obtained through gacha mechanics or synthesis can be sealed, converted into tradable assets, and exchanged within the marketplace. This mechanism increases item circulation and provides players with greater flexibility in managing their digital assets. The title also supports cross-platform gameplay on both PC and mobile devices, enabling consistent engagement across different environments.
Launch Event and Early Progression Support
To celebrate the launch on the CROSS server, a Growth Support Event has been introduced to help players accelerate early progression. The event runs from December 23 through January 21 and includes significant boosts to experience gain, gold acquisition, and item drop rates. Additional rewards are distributed regularly through in-game mail, providing resources that support character development and participation in large-scale PvP and PvE activities.
Long-Term Vision for the CROSS Ecosystem
NEXUS and Redlab Games have outlined a long-term commitment to service stability and scalable growth for ROM Golden Age on CROSS. Plans include regular content updates, ongoing balance improvements, and strong live service operations. Both companies view the title as a strategic foundation for expanding the CROSS gamechain and strengthening its presence in the global Web3 gaming market. By combining a proven MMORPG intellectual property with blockchain infrastructure, the project aims to appeal to both traditional gamers and Web3-native audiences.
