ROSE Online, or Rush On Seven Episodes Online (Korean: 로즈 온라인), is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) previously published by Korean company Gravity Corporation and developed by its subsidiary, Triggersoft. The game was originally pay to play, but when Triggersoft stopped developing the game in 2007, the rights of ROSE Online were sold to several different companies which went on to develop and publish their own free-to-play versions of the game.

Gravity Interactive developed and published a version of the game known as naROSE for 3 North American and 40 European countries, up until all of their games and services to the European regions were terminated on May 25, 2018.[1][2] Warportal Gravity Interactive shut down the game entirely on February 11, 2019, while several private servers continued to run.[3] As of September 2021, the development and publishing of ROSE Online for this region was taken over by Rednim Games. At that time, Rednim Games predicted the launch to still be 'many more months' in the future.[4]

Starting in 2013, another branch of the game known as jROSE was exclusively developed for the Japanese market by ROSE Online Japan. Despite major financial difficulties, culminating in the studio filing for bankruptcy in 2020, they still promised to keep developing and publishing updates to the game in 2019.[5][6]
