Haha, a game I loved with all my heart. Still holds a special place there, in fact. Which is why I absolutely HATED RO2. They tried to make it very MMOy with enemies spawning in bounded zones and everything was a progression from one area to the next. RO were just maps with clusters of enemies around, and you had to figure out which maps were safe. And sure there was progression of stronger enemies as you get deeper into an area, but it was something you figured out as you played.

i remember playing old ro (i think the first one)and got killed instanly by somekind of santa claus in the early of the game
Not all perhaps. Emil Chronicle Online never had the exp death penalty ever in the original Japanese version (there was this chance to lower equipment durability in its earliest days but they got rid of that too real quick). The oversea versions modified and distributed by the Koreans though....
I admit Ragnarok Online is the only mmorpg i really like that it can make me tried playing all the job. RO2 isnt that bad, but i dont like the BGM. old RO has better BGM than RO2, the first thing that make me able to enjoy mmorpg is the bgm and game overall design.
3D is good, but somehow i like old RO better. its cuter and has many freedom in moving with monk skills like snap lv1 while in RO2 i nvr see a fast moving skill like that
Bono probably a type of player that charge through first think later. i know some friends with that playstyle lol
The treadmill leveling is bad enough, but the real killer is their tendency to put in rootkits in their 'anti-hacking' software which opens your computer up to all sorts of exploits. Plus they have a tendency to insert themselves into all running processes and randomly terminating anyone they didn't like (read: programs they don't know shit about and are too lazy to look up.)
I mean, sure, they might not mean it (introducing security vulnerabilities), but all it takes is one malicious hacker to find a backdoor exploit, so fuck you, Gameguard.

I'd rather install the Sony rootkit, really.
Huh, interesting. I once visited Korea for about a year and realised that their internet security sucks. I'm not saying the overall quality sucks, but seriously, ActiveX is still required for almost every transactions and every single banks require a number of crappy security programs, so your PC should have like 20 different kinds of old-timer programs just for security, and since ActiveX is no longer supported you still have to use IE no matter what browser you are using. I never played Korean-made online games so it's kind of surprise to know that they're doing the same thing across the ocean.
shitty games will just lead youWell, that's what happens when you die, it's a penalty.Ah!down a swampy path.This is just a shitty game.Complaining aboutAkebono, I have a proverb for you.You couldn't measure the enemy's strength; that just means you're still green.And Oboro's already gone up a level!ChurchGeez, I finally revived...First of all, they shouldn't have enemies there that can kill you in one hit.What the heck are you saying...What the hell! My EXP went down?!
