Ragnarok Online was
one of the first free to play MMORPGs that I’ve ever played.
It’s also a game that I feel really attached to, as I ran my own private
server for the game. Come to think of it, I played Ragnarok Online
quite a bit. I’m very happy that Gravity, the game’s developer, decided
to launch their own free server for the game. Prior to the launch of
Valkyrie, the game’s free server, I was playing the game for free on
other private servers. I actually felt bad about doing this, as I wanted
to support Gravity for making such an awesome game. Now that they have
their own free server, I can support them by playing on it. Back when
Ragnarok Online first came out, many years ago, there really weren’t
any free to play games. The only I could think of that were available
back then were MapleStory and RuneScape.
Those two games really got the ball rolling – as each of those games
today boasts over 60 million registered users worldwide. That’s pretty
impressive.
Ever since I first learned about Ragnarok Online 2 in 2005 or so, I
was really excited. I always loved Ragnarok, so a full 3D version of
the game looked awesome. Unfortunately though, Ragnarok Online 2 still
hasn’t been released in North America. I don’t even know if its
available in Korea. The game was announced over 5 years ago and still
hasn’t come out. This makes me think that its going to join the losers
club with Priston Tale 2, Huxley: The
Dystopia and Dance Groove Online
as a game that’s never going to come out. This is definitely
unfortunate, as based on the trailers available, Ragnarok Online 2
looked awesome. I was personally excited about the game because the
first game was amazing. Arguably one of the best free MMORPGs ever.
Even though Ragnarok Online 2 looked amazing back in 2005, I don’t
think the game looks as amazing today. The game’s sleek 3D graphics
look old today compared to graphical wonders like Allods Online
and RayCity.
I think Gravity should just release the game already. If they wait any
longer, the graphics will be so obsolete, no one would play it .
Anyone else waiting for Ragnarok Online 2 to release, or am I the only
one?
