    Ragnarok Online 2: Legend of The Second

    Remember how bad RO2 was going to be? Well thankfully that is the past.

    http://www.ragnarok2.co.kr/

    - Completely new engine and art style. No more deformed midgets with huge hands, heads and feet.
    - Card, pet, stats, old class systems are ALL returning
    - No more weapon leveling bullshit. The item system will work like in RO. Now there will actually be a reason to hunt MvPs and mini-bosses.
    - new systems include a more balanced PvP (WoE too? fucking hopefully), a "living" system (no idea what this is), trade skills and "much more"
    - "RO2 is no longer a separate game from RO1 but a true sequel."

    Pictured is the new and much better art. From left to right: Wizard, Priest, Swordsman, Thief, Hunter. Current RO2 service is going to get shut down on august the 2nd and RO2:LoS beta will start on August 31st. If you already have a RO2 account you can activate it for LoS so you will be guranteed a spot in the coming beta.

    I love RO, all they would have to do is make a graphical update to make it RO2, and it would be great. RO2 looked so blah though, hopefully it's a bit different now, and actually gets released.

    Wasn't RO2 the full 3D version of RO that came out a few years back?

    Heey, this is actually great. I really hope they don't fuck up the art style like they did before.

    <3'd RO on private servers..

    Played the first one for a while, actually liked it a lot, but had no one to play with. Would like to see some video or SS of this to get a better idea.

    The old RO2 was a completely different game than RO1 and nobody liked it. They listened to the fans and made the game again from scratch and made it much more like RO1 from what it seems. That's what they needed to do in the first place. Good thing I still have my old beta account. The 31st can't come soon enough.

    I remember playing the korean beta of RO2 and it was pretty awful. I really liked the first game and hope they can make this second try of RO2 great.

    I loved RO, but oh god the grindan. I know korean MMO and all, but you seriously had to devote yourself and your first born to max out in RO. Then you rebirthed and had to devote yourself EVEN MORE! Shit was ridiculous.

    The biggest flaw about RO I find is there's no good way to find a party. Even the party mechanics didn't feel right.

    Hello neat stuff from actually having to play the bullshit that was RO2.

  18. #18

    Is it still possible to sign up for the shitty RO2?

    Edit: ...and get access to the new one?

    Pretty much, you grind hardcore for just about everything. Money, MVPs, EXP, items, cards, EVERYTHING. The community used to be amazing back in 2003/4, but since then it has gone to shit. If you were looking to break in, you can't. It'd be hard to find a party or do anything going in cold.

    Which is why I play private servers if I ever feel nostalgic.

    Haven't played RO in such a long time... yeah it was pretty much a grindfest. I might try this out, I did have some fun in RO.
