Ragnarok Online

THE GOOD:
-It's a free Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing/Adventure game.
-Low system requirements to run the game.
-It can be addictive.
-Anime Style MMORPG.
-Many costumizable ingame features.
-Menu driven system + realtime elements.
-A classic in the making.

THE BAD:
-It's Beta 1.
-16bit graphics.
-It has quite an handful of bugs/glitches.
-There aren't many variety of costumes/items/monsters. (compared to other MMORPGs)
-Fighting/Combat system is quite dull. It's your typical Hack and Slash type game. (it's mindlessly fun. -sorry for the pun.)
-Limited US Servers to choose from.
-Server slowdown occurs frequently when at full load (5000+ Players).
-Login frustrations; i.e: Dual Login errors, misc. disconnection errors, game freezes.
-Bots, Trollers, Hackers, Non-friendly combat-system.
-Too many...

THE GOOD:
The world is massive
Many different monsters
Interaction with many people

THE BAD:
Laggy servers
Only 2 servers
People could be worried about rollbacks

SUMMARY:
At the moment, the servers are "closed" for 3 months and there is nothing any of us in the gaming community could do about it. I played this game for a couple months. Overall, it is a great game aside from the lag issues. It is a supremely addictive game that will hook RPG gamers of any age or gender.

When this game hits retail, it should have more servers, more areas, little or no lag, fine-tuned graphics, and more character classes.

This is an amazing game that is worth the 362 MB download.

THE GOOD:
We alredy know its a lvl up your character kinda game...but the best thing is how you can be in a town with like thousands of ppl in there...and everyone is doing something different...kinda better than those games where you be in channels eh'?...

THE BAD:
Sometimes it lags or disconnects you...but with a strong liking for the game you barely notice it...you can actually get used to it (remember its beta)

SUMMARY:
I dont have time for a long summary cuz it would be like a novel...What can i say, im in love with this game...Ohh man...at this very moment i am waiting for beta 2 to come out...in a couple of days...Just download it...it may take a while cuz its a large file..but its worth it...and if you dont like it, then you just didnt give the game enough time to grow on you (grew on me the 1st day, and i've havent looked back yet)

THE GOOD:
Nice selection of character classes. A good choice of weapons and armour. Accessories that change your character's appearance!!

THE BAD:
Open beta test, so there are still a load of problems. Many of the people online aren't very friendly. A lot of scammers.

SUMMARY:
If you wanna get this game, I suggest ya come to the Ragnarok Online Forum. We'll help you out with anything we can! And it'll give you a better idea of the game.

THE GOOD:
Large play area
Many classes to master
Simple control system
A lot of human interaction
Some of the proposed additions look great
It's free

THE BAD:
A lot of lag
Servers shut down frequently
Levelling up is very slow at the start
Some of the other human players can be annoying
Disconnections frequent

SUMMARY:
With its huge playing area, unique jobs and addictive gameplay Ragnarok Online has the potential to become something big, though at the moment it is decidedly average. However, this is only the Beta 1 release. It already has a great structure to build on and Gravity plan to introduce many new features over the next year, I've heard talk of guild missions and wars, battle tournaments, item hunting competitions, new job progressions, an interactive storyline and even marriages between players in the Beta 2 release. I'd say get into it now, and get your characters levelled up before...

nice graphics combined with great sound and effects...
thats not the best thing baout it tho.
the nice community is what makes it all be so good.

its so much fun leveling up with all your frinds ...
going through any of the manny maps the game has to offer.
getting new skills and improving your charachters as you go on.

theres still a little work to be done on the finalizing of the gold vertion but its great as it is!

see you all in International Ragnarok Online !

THE GOOD:
Cute little 2d sprites and a 3d backround. Great soundtrack and soundeffects. Nice selection of items to equip your character. Job classes are simply the best part of the game.

THE BAD:
Lag, botters, scammers, looters, beggers, unstable servers, etc. Large client download size.

SUMMARY:
This game will be OUTSTANDING once they go live and have lots more content a more stable server system and an actual plot. As of right now the game is a great beta for ppl to play if they want a free rpg to occupy your time..

THE GOOD:
the gameplay is very good, once you get hooked you'll never want to stop!!!

THE BAD:
the game is not hackers free, there is no assurance of your safe playing, you cant always be sure no one is looking behind your back while you play, you'll just woke up one day and lost all your precious items and equips!!!

SUMMARY:
ive played RO for nearly 5 months and i've been hacked twice!!!I got 5 characters and all 2nd jobs, i got a lv 70 assasin, lv64 priest, lv60 hunter, lv42 merchant, lv60 wizard...grin*!!! and just today i lost all my precious rares and valuables and the GRAVITY blamed me for being hacked, they just cant make a decent exuse on how to help their fellow players and clients, i just wasted 5 months and even droped some of my subjects in school just for this game and this is what i get in return, a lousy excuse!!!
