Ragnarok Online

Ragnarok Online game Review

Ragnarok Online is a popular Korean MMORPG based on the manhwa Ragnarok: Into the Abyss.
The game was first released in 2002, and Ragnarok Online 2 was released in 2012.

It has many spin-offs, including the anime Ragnarok the Animation.

Story & Playability

So, the Story of the Game is basicly, that there r monsters that invaded the human World and you have to fight em. Of course there are strong and weak mosnters and a lot of Bosses. A real story is not existant and the only goal in this MMORPG is to lvl up and maybe to make some quests to get rare items. You can join forces with other players in partys to fight the Monsters. You can even found a Guild and fight for territorys with other guilds. The reward for getting territorys is, that u can get daily some treasure boxes where you can get rare items from. They are implenting a wedding system now, so that you can find your partner for life in this game. It's very important in this game for you to gather a good and stable party so you can get descent lvls, because it's almost impossible for example to beat a boss alone, you will need help most of the time. They treid to implent some mini storys in the quests, but it didn't really work, no one reads what the npc says, because it#s most of the time boring stuff.

Graphics

Ok, so now the Art. The Back Grounds in the Game are pretty good, they are all 3Dd animated and have a broadband of varietys, depends on the area your in. Not so good are the characters him-/herself. They are only 2D animated and the advanced classes are the same sprites as the normal second classes just a little changed. The skills have some nice animations, but not all, some are just plain, on the other hand some have a real nice aniation and biig effects but this has also a handicap, if a players spams too much of this nice animated skills the server is gonna lag.

Sound

The Audio is not that good, The Back Ground Music is boring and repeating itself. But, if you want to, you can change the Back Ground Music, you can easily do so, because all BGMs are .mp3s in the main folder and if you replace them with files you like, you have your own BGM. The battle sounds arequite ok and the monsters are making induvidual sounds so you can say what monsters are near by just listing to the sounds. I heard rumors about an OST of the Game, but I can't really believe that there would be one, because it would be pretty boring.

Fun

The handling of the Game is pretty easy. It's build up like Diablo, so your watching your chara from an angle bout 150° above your character. You can change this angle whatever u want, but if u change it too much the game becomes almost unplayable because you can't calculate how far away from your enemy, For Distance fighting chars it's not that important but for Melee Weapon chars it's important to know how fara away the enemy is. You can also zoom in or zoom out if u like to, but if you zoom in too much you won't see whats going on around you. The Interface is quite easy to handle, you have shortcuts for almost everything. For your stats, equip, inventory, your guild, your party, the options and for your party Setup. YOu can also change the look of your interface, there are quite a few skins out there or you can easily makle one yourself, you only have to make some bmps. Another posstive thing is, that you have 36 shortcuts for skills, taking on equip abd potions, that's quite handy if you have to change fast or wanna do a skill in the heat of combat. What's not so good is, that you can't see what quests you are doing at the moment.

    nice rating... its pretty detailed and i agree with you about those things ^^
    but we do have to admit that it is a stable running game despite the lag spikes.
    The game itself is also easy to understand. That is the most important factor IMO
    since Ragnarok online doesnt have a major story line, it just makes things simpler to understand, dont u agree? well, this is only my opinion after all. your review is still very good
    ^_~
