Good idea, bad execution...

RO has some very good ideas, but the way they are used are somewhat crappish. If you don't have a überhighend comp loading areas is annoying. Team that up with newbies dying, and you get the basic idea.

I agree - it's generally a good idea, but they flunked the idea. Actually, I think we'll see the flunking happen to all mmorpgs - at least for a while.

Perhaps I should elaborate to everyone who doesn't know what RO (as most people call Ragnarok Online short-handedly) is.

It is a MMORPG created by Gravity Corp, of Korea. They recieve support from lots of major companies, most importantly Samsung.

They are quite sucessful, reportedly making one mil US in the first week in Korea alone, and have opened international (English), Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai clients.

Right now, our international servers are closed, due to an indisclosed settlement, while the other servers start pay to play.

In any event, visit www.ragnarokonline.com (the official site), and www.ro.pak0.com (a very large fan site).

That doesn't change the fact that the game has a lot of issues to be worked out, and ignoring them won't help.
