Kim Hakkyu is a hack. He and Gravity struck gold with RO by pure luck and there will never be a game like it again.

The peak of games as a whole. There will never be a better one.

Wh-what...? I just posted this.. How did you know?

No, this is.

do these massage thingies even work?
everytime i cut my hairs the girl asks if i want a massage and i did it once and it was pretty amazing.. is that pillow thing a replacement for that?

Nah.

That would have to be pic related. Still the best MMORPG of all time.

Kamael was interlude? Interlude was the dino island and then they added Kamael if I remember correctly. Before Kamael anyway. Even the island with the stone thing wasn't that good now that I think about it.

Nah, I am Italian and there were many Italians guilds back in the day

It's 2019 and Ragnarok Online is truly dead. There are no more populated pre-re servers. RIP the greatest MMO of all time.

There was a time when all you need for a job change is to talk to a NPC.

Hi, Psor. Renewal is, and will always be, shit.

It's not, in fact thanks to renewal gravity revenue increased 30% .

The art style was so popular that it got copied ad nauseam

I wonder if it'll ever be possible to make a long-lasting MMO game that doesn't use insanely low drop rates to artificially extend its playtime.

It has the pre-WoW progression style, so yes.

Any good private servers?

Ephinea but PSO2 is better

Modern mmos are just unplayable to me. It's just a hand held walk through the content the developers built for you. It doesn't give you decisions to make, doesn't give you reasons to explore, it just forces you to mash the button through meaningless quests as you walk the established line. it is absolute garbage.
RO wasn't perfect. it could have been improved on, but it wasn't because the genre decided to go down the shit path instead.

OG MMO: A world you play in with others
Nu-MMO: Single player game that is sometimes multiplayer where your companions may as well be NPCs because there is no interaction

Someone post the tsundere ragnarok user who faked being a girl. Now.

wut i want to see this too.

What the fuck? Guilds were only for dickstroking and hunting MVPs as i recall.

Are there even any non-theme park MMOs nowadays?

RO in particular was known for its fluffy culture

Ro culture sounds comfy, what happened?

social media and facebook made online interactions with other human beings less of a novelty

They're becoming increasingly rare.
I wish MMOs weren't so goddamn expensive to make so people would take more risks with them.
It doesn't help that they're so socially reliant that people will often forego MMOs they like more just because their friends aren't all playing it.

Zoomers. All of the aggressive shitposting on Yea Forums? Zoomers. They'll always say that it's Yea Forums culture, but it's a lie. Zoomers are the biggest fucking shitposters in the world. That extends to modern day MMO/vidya culture too. Us boomers may have joked around with each other, but we still treated each other like humans because we didn't grow up exclusively on the internet. Zoomers, ironically the ones who have spawned PC culture, are the the most dehumanized lot on the face of the planet. They exist entirely as online personas and clam up in real life. That's why they can't handle IRL bantz and they take everything too personally and are also unrepentant shitposters who are generally just plain unhappy.

It's how the game worked, RO was very basic MMO, there was no glowing arrows poiting you to where the class change NPC was or a world map ingame to know if you were going in the right place, real exp quests weren't a thing in the beggining either, so often players would be lost not knowing where was the best place to level up, that's why helping each other was a must, if you wanted help to find something people would often accept being your guide and help you in any way they could and in the process they could also become a friend of yours, this helped build a good community.

Agreed.

>real exp quests weren't a thing in the beggining either, so often players would be lost not knowing where was the best place to level up, that's why helping each other was a must
Encouraging social interaction to make progression easier is great, but I still think grinding enemies en masse is an absurdly boring way to level up.
Especially in games where combat is mostly low tension rotation/nuke spamming.
If the combat itself isn't going to be engaging, then the story or something else needs to.

>people only log in for the couple of things they're interested
>servers are deserted most of the time
>people think game is dead
>game actually dies
MMOs NEED to keep people logged in and busy.

>real exp quests weren't a thing in the beggining either
What you mean here is chores. RO was one of the few MMOs that actually had quests.

>If the combat itself isn't going to be engaging, then the story or something else needs to.

I found the combat much better than today's MMOs. Sure it was spammy but you didn't have 15 abilities that all did the same thing but you are forced to rotate them because of cooldowns to give the appearance of depth. Every ability in RO had it's use and it was different than the next.

And the story was actually interesting. It wasn't in your face but what little background you could get from the world from quests, item descriptions and even the zone maps themselves told a story underneath the grind. Like the biolabs experiments, sacrifices in rachel sanctuary or what happened in nameless island. RO's world was pretty dark in contrast to the cutesy sprites.

this
every single quest had its purpose, be it lore, unlocking dungeons, getting powerful items, in fact, one of my favorite questlines was The Sign, the one that had a limit of players before closing and had you traveling the whole fucking world
>tfw you had to travel to Nifelheim by jumping off a fucking tree in Umbala and could easily die in the process

god, MMORPGs truly are fucking dead

I'd much rather see a refresh of RO's grinding in an MMO, but currency based instead of RNG. Instead of .01% droprate you get a hunting log (like XIV?) but if you kill like 1000-5000+ of an enemy then you get its card. Obviously less for rare spawn bosses and the like. That way theres a grind, but always a sense of progress.

Your idea sounds like shit, sorry

That sounds good. I much prefer that kind of dripfeed system rather than relying on inducing a gambling addiction in players through cruel RNG.

Really, the reason why consumers became so easily accepting of lootboxes is because RPGs and MMOs have for decades made gamers addicted to the gambling thrill of getting rare loot that only drops 0.1% or less of the time.

The duality of man

Fuck you guy. I don't want to be farming a monster for weeks on end for a card and then Jimmy shows up and gets his on the 2nd enemy he kills. It might be fun and exciting for him for a moment to have that luck, but it kills the drive for people who have been working towards it.

>like XIV
every time

Well im not sure what other modern game has a hunting log to check off enemy kill counts, im sure they exist. Not sure why citing the 2nd biggest mmo is an issue.

Go back to your tranny infested general

it never killed it for me, and i'm pretty sure there's thousands of players that never gave up and got their stuff, i think you're just a casual faggot

Yeah but thats because people liked the game more than they liked the drop system. But its [current year] user. People don't have the time for that!

I still remember jewing my moonlight flower and doppelganger card with my blacksmith before

shit was true cash

>Gooks
>Italians
What's the difference?

Only reason I would be against this is knowing you will get a card within a certain number of kills it puts a cap to end game and would completely fuck with the prices. It would take no effort in a game like RO to get a group together to just aoe 1k/10k/100k mobs and everyone gets their card and moves on. Maps become empty, merchants become redundant, people get bored faster. Leave it at 0.01% drop rate, luck is the fairest system.

This, casual fags need to fuck off of mmos

based

Then put in a button to let you reset the counter and farm more of said card. Why would you not want to farm to sell or trade them? Plenty of people would still buy cards instead of farm an obscene number.

>Why would you not want to farm to sell or trade them?
I mean sure sell it for no money if you want to since everyone knows they are guaranteed to get it at a certain point anyway. Scarcity is what creates value. You are guaranteeing everyone to get the drop they want at a controlled time.

guys, I have a weakish computer at work, and it can run some games. There are weeks where I have very little to do, and I can play games in my leisure time. What mmo should i play? I picked up eden eternal, but I'm not sure i can handle it.

World of Warcraft

This is a shit game and you should feel bad for liking it. Not even rebuild could salvage this dumpster fire.

>MMO
>Leisure time
Wrong genre, friendo

This. ToS was buried as soon as Rebuild hit. There is no pulling out of its freefall at this point.

One guy from my guild kept playing chill out tunes on his guitar while we were grinding and discussing next WoE. He add a knight 30 levels behind us, but it didn't matter. It was on a low rate private server and after some time everyone knew everyone. It was truly magical. I think my Minstrel is the character I spent the most time with in a video game.

Nah, people seem to forget MMOs are fun to casually play too. Especially if you're playing next to someone irl.

STOP AND LOOK AT THIS

Post one or two of your most comfy memories this game gave you RIGHT FUCKING NOW

>Sitting around in an amateur Guild during WoE and never actually getting attacked and shooting the shit with everyone
>Being a start up merchant and finally starting to rack up money, having your guildmates give you stuff to sell off and giving them money when they need it

Also, farming my mushrooms.

That guy became one of my best friends for many years since that day. Unfortunately he vanished one day.

Everyone-rolls-dps: the game.

Make card drops easier, but time limited. Like the cards expiring after a month or so after pickup, used or not.

He got isekai'd into RO, probably banging his monster girls harem now.

Has anyone played this?

I did but never premium, botted on rook and was farmed rootworms

>interlude
>not H5

Premium pissed me off more and more with how little they added to the free areas.
I get that's where your money comes from, but goddamn was it getting lopsided.
Playing free is probably a borderline trial version at this point.

I played it was so so the pinnoy guy who made it sure like yuri.
