I expect ToS to be RO in spirit. To keep a nice aesthetic which we are used to, just graphically improved. I expect grinding to be viable, and for the world to eventually feel a little like RO once did. I expect the quest writing to be at the same quality it was. I expect important choices in the status tree and class tree.
I do not expect it to play the same, I don’t expect it to be as fast (anymore), I don’t expect it to be as free as ragnarok if I’m honest, but I can pray it is and anything else about the game play I don’t expect to be the same.
However above all else, what I want is a great game. Even if it’s nothing like RO, if its just a great game that I can see myself playing for years to come. Then in my mind, it’s done it’s job
