What is RO, and is there a site?
Check the posts. I’m new.
Ragnarok Online, a crappy MMORPG.
<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Ragnarok Online. http://www.ragnarokonline.com - A MMORPG which had an Open Beta not too long ago. Unfortunately, it went back to Pay to Play now, so a lot of people stopped playing it. Opinions of the game vary a lot.
Runescape is much better, although the graphics are a bit behind.
Too bad I lost my password.
Ragnarok Online, A 2D Version of Everquest Done for Anime Maniac Pedophiles =P [/somethingawful]
You’re too late for beta testing, and KPRO.
WORST FUCKING MMORPG EVER. GOD.
What WAS RO is a better question.
Ragnarok Online WAS an MMORPG where you would kill stuff for no reason. You were unable to sit down until you gained enough experience. Weapons costed absurd amounts of money.Your character would advance 10 levels in the novice class first. You would then be required to take a challenge to gain another job. The challenges would be as simple as walking through a few hallways (Swordsman), to travelling around the world, picking up Water from here, This from there, a certain number of this item, mixing them, remembering a serial number given to you at the beginning of the quest, and then presenting the result to the guildmaster.
You would gain 40 job levels in that particular class. After that time, you could gain another 10 job levels or get a class upgrade. Currently they’re just in development of adding alternate second classes. However, some classes are obviously overpowered. For instance, the assassin has a 16 hit combo attack that can take out almost any enemy at a reasonable level.
The actual gameplay sucks. You would just go around in the fields, or sometimes in dungeons. You would kill this, hit that, etc. until you levelled up. At that time, as you level up, more often than not an agressive monster spawns right next to you and finishes you off while you’re in the level up menu.
Finally, there’s the lag. Your character has a speed limit of approximately 1 square per 17 earth years.
Runescape is the worst game ever created, Manus.
Edit: And the only lag in RO is from your computer sucking, as I learned since my comp sucks and makes me lag.
Just A Comment…
Most of the people here played RO when it was beta testing…I remember the times when the chat was dead because Everyone and Their Mom was playing RO. (I Played it for a short time, cause I was the Lag God)
So…Why Now Everyone Blames RO?..I saw that Everyone Was all RO Addicted when it was Beta Testing =P
Because they’re assholes who want to look cool by going with the others now that it’s gone.
Sure, there were major problems with it, but I had fun playing it, and I don’t see why everybody acts that way about it.
Edit: And yes, Runescape sucks.

Well, I had fun with it until recently. Any better suggestions?
I just didn’t like it to begin with. Hated it when the open beta was first released and I tried it for about twenty minutes before wanting to do something that DIDN’T suck, still hate it now.
It was addicting (the artwork was nice), but there were too many faults in it to say that it was a good game.
Flint, my computer can play Morrowind at top graphical settings. I got tons of lag.

Flint: ANYTHING is laggy when it’s inefficiently written and has over 10k users online one server (Other than BNet, but there’s max 11 other players you have to download data for plus PMs. RO you have to download data for possibly a few hundred other people in the area).
But this is present tense we’re talking about. The beta was laggy, since you haven’t played once it’s become P2P you have no idea what the lag is like or that there is extremely little, not to mention there are usually only 5k people on at peak times, so I don’t know why you say 10k.
Wait, so was it because our computers sucked or because there were too many people?
And plenty of games (Everquest, UO, Planetside) have way moe people on at peak times without that kind of lag.
I played EVE Online on a P733 I got in 1999, little to no lag (video card had rough time during warp drive sequence)
I tried Ragnarok Online, total lag, loading areas took five minutes.
It’s not always the PC, the game is also poorly coded to handle large amount of people.
and we haven’t yet mentioned the racism. Or the FPRO.
