Love Ragnarok Online. Waiting for RO2.
You got 2 job changes and after that you can reborn and after reborning you get a superior class tittle.
One of the nicest things in this game are weddings and addopting chibi characters
Also the variety of char stats are so many taht i wouldn't even start to explain...
For example a monk.. can become an AGI monk, or an Asura monk. There are other possibilities too but as much as i know those two are the main two types of monks that can own asses. The first one got chain combo skills and alot of AGI, while the second one got alot of STR and INT . Also there is a nice upgrading system. Beside the normal upgrading to +x you can also put some mob cards in the equipment.
All monsters got their unique card effect. Some increases you ATK some HIT some adds a chance to blind the opponent and so on..
Love Ragnarok Online. Waiting for RO2.
well i love it because it is just a darn good MMO, you are probably one of those people who dont like 2d graphics ^^ RO is probably the best MMO out there, you just have to like anime to like the graphics
love Josh
i love animaRO if you have it i love you?
well yeah, however Ro is not just another clone like WoW, RS, Flyff and alot of other MMORPG's out there.it has its own style and charm to it... however i do like FlyFF ^^ free and cute graphics however WoW is just lame

i love animaRO if you have it i love you?
Tried: Vanguard, UO, Rappelz, Archlord, RF Online, SWG, WAR, Ryzom, Anarchy Online, AC, APB, STO, Perfect World, Black Prophecy...
Played: EQ,EQII, Lineage, Lineage 2, GW, EVE Online, AoC, DoAC, iRO, AC2, WoW, SWTOR, Runes of Magic, Allods, Rift..
Currently Playing: Tera
Also i like quests and stuff like that. I know that Ro doesn't have them, but still...
about the jobs - RO isn't a game with many based jobs. you can't count the after reborn jobs since it's basicly only a name upgrade and you get 4 new skills. if you would count like this, then i could say, that lineage 2 got 62 jobs.But since in this game you can set your own stats and skills, there are many different types of a same job.For example, like i said before there are agi monks, and asura monks.which means that a player can choose different ways with every job.
ok so here comes the question again.. why do i like this game. Nice ppl, anime style characters, many dungeons to explore, alot of skills and card enhancement system.
When I played I made a few friends that I could meet IRL and awesome friends across the seas. It's definitely a fun game, w/ friends.
However the grind is so dull and the game itself is so dull, it's hard to "stick it out" and wait for the fun.
1. I played UO both played RO and I do not see in them anything the general!
2. UO is the beginning of all mmorpgs.
3. I fan RO! Also I consider its as best of all mmorpgs. In Russia there is one saying.. To be translated it literally so (Everyone to his own taste) That means that to like everyone the ..
PS here somebody speaks russian? And you likely hardly understand that that I write %)
I played it for a year.......and I don't know why.
It all started with a PC-mag.....me and my friend bought it. In it there was a trial of RO. We met us online every day. Playing together was cool.......then we found a guild. We had to go online every day and play so much as possible--or we were the last in our guild! So I played and played and played. So I got RO-addict. after a year all of my friends were many levels higher than me. So I sat down in the towns and made nonsense. But I didn't want to quit RO.......and I don't know why.
Then my brother made me a present: World of Warcraft. My friend also started playing WoW..........and the same thing happend again.
Now I'm playing Guild Wars and this won't happen again.....the highest lvl is 20
Also explains why there are so many private servers for Asian mmo's. They make great games, but they do a horrible job of keeping up with thier servers state side, so much so that alot of private servers are better than retail.
the cons (i like starting with the negative ones).... graphics... come on man, there is no question about it, a 2d game in an "MMORPG". #2 the visual & sound effects... (clang-clang.... caching!!!!), IS THAT the sound of 'magic'!! Tell me if that's interesting to play! #3 the story.... (do I need to say this..... THERE IS NO PLOT)
now the pros....... well, i see this "game" more like a BIG chat log in a "2d playable" environment with the mission to make money and bang some heads... which is good for a chat log... (THANK GOD THERE ARE MORE GAMES OUT THERE)
OVERALL......THE DEVELOPERS MUST PLAY SOME GAMES!!!.... THIS IS A PURE MENTAL TORTURE.....
i play in another server and it was kinda cool when i got lucky with the damn uber expensive headgears and could show them off...
but the way there aren't quests is just a big downside to it... all you do after... basically lvl 1 onwards is grind... grind here, grind there, grind until you're brain-dead... and still grinding... like a zombie i should say?
it was also cool tho that you cud have your own guild emblems, tho they are kinda small... my guild, small but active... had this really cool emblem and wow, showing it off with all my guildies in woe (war of emperium) was fun as hell XD
well, it isn't a bad game overall, but i'm having time zone issues which din allow me to play woes 99% of the time, so thats another big downside...
then again, my hobby in any MMOs is to run around as a low lvl and explore places... weird i know, but was fun... until when i've been to every single map of the game, then i lost the hook to it....... my guild's dead now and i semi quit for 2 months and hoped to get this 'fresh' touch to the game again
that just never happened
and... rollbacks really suck...
and... it's too easy to find a place to solo and grind until you're a zombie irl...
and the trans exp is 3x the non-trans exp...
and that meant that you had to grind triple the time to become a good transcendent.......!!
Its probably because its my first MMORPG i ever played, i was a child when i played this game, i became as addicted as those hard-core WoW players. Every now and then i find myself returning to RO ( Not the official servers ). I think its the 2d/3d graphics that do it for me. That or the porings.
THIS GAME ROCKS...it rocks because its a stratagy game with some fun in it..for example u need builds like speed and caster builds to make it easyer and a better experience also you need to orginize your guild/castle so its undeafetable also.....i like chiken

The main problem with this game is there's not much storyline... and it misses the essential part of rpg's, there's no quests. Or, do we count as a quest those onces where you need to collect x number of this and that to do Blush (ewww, the UGLIEST thing in that game)? I mean, come on, if that's all this game needs to do to make you say it's ZOMG AMAZING BEST GAME EVARR...
*censored*
I guess people in RO are active (anime nerds, for sure they ARE) as a rpg gamer I don't prefer communicating with other players- Only when necessary.
The world to explore in RO is huge, I admire that. But that's it.
I hate how easy this game is.
It doesn't matter what element you toss on enemies, they WILL fall.
Well, that's all.
I must admire that I still have RO and I play it on private server... Then when the realm where I use to hang in Wow is down. Which desn't happen much.
Sorry to tell you this, but you didn't play Ragnarok Online. You played something totally different that put Ragnarok Online in its title.
"I hate how easy this game is. It doesn't matter what element you toss on enemies, they WILL fall."
This is why. It matters ALOT what element you throw at an enemy. If you use the wrong one it will do no damage or heal the enemy. If you use the right one it will double your damage. Also there are quests. Nothing like mmos coming out now; but somewhere along the lines of 100 extremely long and rewarding quests. The problem is you played on a private server which has to hack content out in order to host the game.
I admit though the game isn't that great anymore. In its time it was pretty descent and the WoE was a great element. Luckily they are making Ragnarok Online 2 which has had a much different development process. The original Ragnarok Online cost $500k US to make, Ragnarok Online 2 has been in production for nearly 5 years with a development cost exceeding $50 million US. It should be hitting US soils in the form of Betas in Fall.
It doesn't have a storyline, oh how horrible!. You don't prefer communicating with other people? What in heavens name are you doing in an MMORPG? go play Neverwinter nights or Diablo and NEVER touch an MMORPG again.
I think you just came in to look for quests and there isnt any, and you're a novice, and you put in wrong stat points, and you did no dmg...... OR you play private server, you came in, you look for challenge and there is NONE! Private servers are not the same as official ones, even if the rates are exact the same, the communities are DIFFERNT
You play pservers, thats why you think its stupid, I agree, pservers ARE stupid. Now you say you hate how easy it is, thats probably because its pserver you're playing, IT DOES matter what element you toss on enemies, wrong element = no dmg... I dont see how they will fall if you're doing no dmg
Now, it doesnt matter what OTHER GAMES have, how are you gonna say that this game sucks just because YOU dont like to communicate with people. To judge, in my opinion, people needs to at least have the basic knowledge to support their opinions (at least thats what I think EDUCATED people would do) To actually judge this game, you have to get into it to the point where you know AT LEAST, the things that OTHER PEOPLE in game are doing that make them think that the game is so fun.... now Ive gotten into it, and I know what this game is all about, its not that the world to explore is huge, because Ive been playing it for 4 years(and no, RO isnt the only mmorpg I have played and AM playing) and there is nothing to EXPLORE, THIS GAME ISNT ALL ABOUT EXPLORING AND DOING QUESTS
Oh and btw, I still attend to WOE, thats another reason why I play.
So what do you considered good rpg's? Ive been through more than 30, gotten into more than 10, and I still like RO, doesnt matter how many bad things it's got, its about the good things about it, and I have fun playing it, many other people have fun playing it, why the hell do YOU care?
NOW TO THE POINT IM TRYNA MAKE:
I am NOT angry that you say RO is stupid or terrible, its because you are stating things that ARENT EVEN HALF TRUE, its like you saying, "you're hat is ugly," when Im not even wearing a hat! You also said some offensive things, you said that the people that play this game are "anime nerds", you just offended the people that arent anime nerds AND people that eventually DO like anime.
Lastly, about RO, people say its unique! And being DIFFERENT is part of what UNIQUE is all about... and when I say unique, I dont mean that everything about it is differnt, sure its got SOME of their features from other games, so what, those other games arent as fun as this.
Now, I, too, am narrow minded (at least Im not ignorant), thats why I wasted my time to write this long ass reply to people like you (that I dont even know!), but this is what I think is the reason to why people like this "terrible game"
Expecting for Huxley, RO2, and GW2 to come out, though... They look niiiiiiiiiice
