It comes with how MMOs evolve. I don’t think there’s a current MMO rpg that’s as grindy as the pre-renewal RO. Any game that has the same level of overly repetitive grinding would probably not survive today.
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. Sorry for not being specific (it was because Turtle General abreviation in bRO was GT - not TG too)
I have this sense that both of you are too young to remember RO. That is fine though, no need to reply at all. Let the oldies have a few I 'member moments in peace, eh?

I miss being able to cause good damage by auto-attacks and have attack speed assigned to stats.
I miss the skills tree too, where are the passive skills like double attack or Increase HP Recovery. Not to mention novices and merchants.
good times on p-servers
No, this thread is garbage not because someone can’t remember your flowery rainbow RO. Everyone remember it. If you can’t cope with your nostalgia, - it’s your problem. RO =/= TOS. So thread about Ragnarok in Tree of Savior section is pointless.
yeah, ragnarok was godlike but this should have been posted on offtopic.
Old Times Rag 2017
The video is not mine.
I’m out of the tree of savior for now. Just waiting for the next big changes to come back to the game. But in the meantime I’m enjoying the nostalgia of the past, playing some rag.
Im sure you could still go back to RO… oh wait… . you won’t because its crap now, and all you wanna do is whine about a game you know you like more, thats why you cant seem to move on.

Private server players intensifies 
Just calm down bro I’m just having fun, the server I’m in is in an old episode and even if I update, If not for third, I still liked the game because I played it for a long time both OT or GT.
Besides that I intend to return for tree as soon as we get this re-balance that they announced or R9 in Itos.
So take it easy okay.
Iiiiiiiieeeeh p-server!
Didn´t iro got a classic server?
Lets be real RO is a ■■■■ game, why do you think it spawned so many failed private servers?
You’d be surprised how much a private server might be better than the originals these days.
Especially because with my connection I would look better on BRO (Brazilian Ragnarok Online) and the cash shop of the game is simply completely pay to win, as far as I know it applies to all original rag servers.
The LUG itself destroys all the games it manages, and gravity disgraces the game does not help at all.
If the player would all playing on official servers the game wouldn´t be so cashshop oriented.
Besides p-server get closed so easily.
Still got my stuff from 2004 on my char in ro.
I also have my items from the time I paid monthly to play … ragnarok and just ragnarok… However both grand chase and maple story closed years ago in the face of the players. So I have no confidence in the company, rag just does not close because it is the main game.
So it’s a vicious cycle with no end, the players do not go to the original servers because they are bad and the servers are bad because the players prefer privates.
Life is really interesting, is not it? After all even if the players go there and spend their cash in the game I do not see how that would make them improve on anything. they sell up to mvp card in the shop on a certain server that is the only populous of bro.
RO is simply the best 2D MMO that survived till today, while Fungwan Online surely would’ve become the best 3D MMO, had it survived the trashy days prior to the MMORPG boom in the mid 2000s - ~2010…
Well, the thing that made RO really special was that the base Classes and the job advancements were ± divergent enough to make the game interesting, especially with the really nice artwork of the 08/15 monsters(noone forgets the days hunting PecoPecos,Mukas,Frilldoras,Smokies,Magnolias[yeah tf, fried eggs carrying a frying pan for a weapon],Rockers,Thief Bugs,Fabres,Pupas,Roda Frogs, Willows,Spores,etc.) and the awesome progression you got skillwise (the base skills looked lame but were quite effective while the high-end skills were just awesome to look at, especially Meteor Storm, Magnus Exorcismus, Blitz Beat and Water Ball).
Now look at TOS where most skills look generic as heck, and a lot of them sure seem copied from Ragnarok Online (but in a bad way since this game doesn’t feature the 100% drawn sprite artwork which created a nice contrast between characters and skills, making them seem more like magic). It’s nice that TOS features so many different Classes, but very few of them are really distinctive/well thought-through like e.g. Bokor or Inquisitor.
Also,the differentiation between most Classes outside of the Cleric tree isn’t that great, as many Classes just seem to be generic advancements.
RO made a huge differentiation between 2-1 Jobs and 2-2 Jobs, which made them all the more interesting and worthwhile to choose between, while none of them were bad/trashy but they all had a completely different feeling in gameplay (especially Monk vs Priest and Bard/Dancer vs. Hunter).
Old RO didn’t have so many generic shortcuts throughout the world. Why would you need to be able to warp to ± every important map?
Walking&exploring is also a part of the fun, non-generic gameplay after all.
Discover new places to go to, to level at, meet new people, talk about the game,etc.

Because the game is old and programers achieved to completely rebuild the source code that made the platfrom legal to use (hi, eAthena, rAthena, Hercules). The only issues are textures and other original data that partly surrounded everything with a wall of mist.
How many games are out there nowadays where you have something like this? Ah right, not a single one. -
Due to the high cost for layers and the flexibility of server owners it was kinda hard to break down p-servers. That never has changed and almost every company that fought for year against them gave up with the exception of Blizzard.

In every game, really every, you want to change something. I would change Necro, Sorc and all other automated trash. And just because people accidently had the opportunity back then create something one their own, it doesnt mean Ro itself is a bad game. Its more likely vice versa: something with a great basement wil spread wider as anything else.

P-Servers developed meta, content focus and increased the security level by certain levels. Iirc Meth4u is still running as autopot on the official classic while even the sh*ttiest pinoy crap server has Gespard shield and not every monkey has x-ray to break the protection.

Do you have the slightest imagination why a game successfully survived a whole decade? I dont think so.
You are repeating yourself for the 2nd time here because no one gives a fck about your first post and wont take the 2nd try if a dumb kid that has no fcking idea any more seriously as the first one.
Dude for real: come out of your dream bubble.
Companies never tried to generate money in such aggressive ways like nowadays. If the official would run better then cash shop would be even bigger as it is now.
Thank you for taking the bait lmao. Most people who still play RO cant afford a good rig to play a real game lol.
I personally dont give the slightest fck about how I look like at the end when I can drag you down into the abyss. And I personally believe you deserve that.
I have a watercooled rig btw that I achieved to overclock 5.2ghz single core but hey, keep on dreaming.
Btw you are having a … conversation in a forum of a game that actually scks way more. Oh, ironie…
