Hello! A friend of mine recommended this MMO, and I think it looks really cute! I hear people proclaiming it’s the sequel to Ragnarok, but I’ve never actually played that game… Could anyone tell me what made the original game great?
ancient mmo from 2002, very few mmos back then unlike now,
it was one of the first anime-ish one aswell.
thus defaultly making it one of the legendary mmo due to NOSTALGIA
details:
Gameplay: point and click, 2d sprites on 3D world
Lore: you dont care, it was openworld non linear when the original p2p RO came out
and its not a sequel. RO is owned by Gravity and ToS is owned by IMC. Fans simply says this because

it looks like RO

it has the same creator Hakkyu Kim, who quit Gravity after some infighting in the company and started IMC
no it’s not a sequel to ragnarok online, but people consider it a spiritual sucessor to the game. they think that, because the lead dev from ragnarok online Hakkyu Kim is producing ToS too
The OSTs are the same as ragnarok. I think that what made ragnarok good and what makes tos good too is that the both have original systems. What is great for the guys who is getting bored whith the games of these days.
explain this
Sorry, i meat the same guys who made the OSTs for ragnarok made the OSTs for tos.

[/quote] Wow, that music is awesome. Makes me want to get into the beta that much more.
then listen to this ToS CBT1 teaser, the music gets better and better, it trancend BGM of RO and GE to older console rpg pre 2000 era games
My God, incredible song, incredible OST, amazing game!
If you never played, give it a try, on low rate servers, they are low specs, good community, and you will learn a lot of gamming.
The OST is really good. I’ve downloaded some of them already on my computer.
Go play it nao. I suggest a server with 10x to 20x rates.
…
Well…maybe after the CBT is over
RO is great man, i play on rebirthro server. I play until this day, not so often tho, but the game is just great. Find guildies, or a friend to play with, soloing sucks;
Let’s put it this way, ragnarok online was one of those games that you played every chance you got because of how amazing the social side of the game was. The gameplay itself was amazing too but the fact that you had friends that you actually cared for online was fantastic!
One of the greatest strengths of ragnarok online was its variety in classes, status point allocation, skills, items, monsters, dungeons, towns, bgm, equipment, mini bosses and Mvp bosses. This variety gave players the freedom to play the game in whatever way they wished too, want to make a vit spear knight that Is tanky? Or a agility two handed sword knight that is extremely agile? Go for it, nothing’s holding you back!
Ragnarok online had a massive world with many areas to explore, you also had a chance to find rare items through monster drop rates (some items where extremely rare with drop rates such as 0.1% or even 0.01% chance which were mainly cards and equipment) this was one of those things that happen in game that would stick with you forever.
Many more things that made this game amazing but thats just some of the stuff I enjoyed about the game.
Well, As my favourite game, I love proclaiming the greatness of RO… But it was by no means a perfect game. It had awful balancing and power creep, its sooooo difficult and turned off a lot of players from trying to reach the end game… But…
RO was charming. It left the world to the players and didnt insult our intelligence by hand holding us through the game. It expected us to make friends by talking to eachother rather than instant queues for raids or global chats. You had to be on the same screen to socialise. The combat felt rewarding, and smooth in PvP. Most of all, you felt individual and powerful. The importance upon stats and equipment made your character, completely your own, and the vast world of RO meant that most people had quite different gear for a time.
Its truly a game where you play how you want to, the kind of game that newer games aspire to be. With beautiful music and very long lasting visuals, it was hard not to become immersed int the game.
Finally, and actually most importantly, the community was hand on heart, the best community ive been apart of. Because the game was unrelenting, and challenging and builty up from large families of guilds. Everyone helped everyone else, the guides were detailed and your guildmates were geneours. And the RO drama was notourious. You knew the names of your enimies, and they knew yours, and in many ways… This made the RO experience truly a personal one.
RO may have fallen from grace, but for these reasons, or atleast one of them, all those people asking if this is the new RO exist. You shouldn’t play it in its current condition, just know it meant alot to us at the time (2002-2008), and hopefully ToS can bring back just a small piece of that if possible. :)) (Sorry for the typos, written on ipad at 5am)
still my most favorite
