True, gay for that PUSSY

lmao, that's the name of an Argentine porn forum

I tried that and it was literally just Eternal M with a slightly different engine, no other changes whatsoever. I'm enjoying Ragnarok Idle Adventure Plus more right now

Mostly, but not entirely, true. I played in ALPHA, before 2nd jobs or skills even existed, and Prontera was a multi-map city. I played Beta, then release, the only reason I quit release was because of the massive launch rollbacks that left my lv30-something Swordsman naked in Byalan dungeon floor 2 with no zeny, gear, or items to sell. Played pservs off and on, went back to iro in recent years and enjoyed it, then did a few of the mobile spinoffs. It's a fun, nostalgic series and not once have I ever botted any of it, like....what's the point?

I can smell the brown buttholes from here.

Nah, I was there from Alpha to shortly after Assassin's release and never botted at all. Matter of fact bots ruined several of the maps like the ones like the original Orc, Argiope, Skeleton Soldier and other maps due to them being all over the fucking place. I still miss the game though, private servers aren't the same.

i was there 20 years ago, and no. peak was during covid.

Nobody who played RO and was nostalgic for it played on iRO without botting.

wrong.

ROX had Eternal's 4th jobs?

you will never just sit down to chat and emote with your guildies in your "guild base" (a random spot to the side of the main street in Prontera)

peak was during covid.

Elaborate. What did I miss out on?

Arcadia (formally Origins) is still stuck on episode 11

Rachel FUCKING when?

marry and reproduce

Nothing, 00s RO was filled with interesting people and hot emo sluts, 20s RO is filled with retards and trannies.

00s RO was filled with interesting people and hot emo sluts

00s Internet was filled with interesting people and hot emo sluts. You can figure the rest.

The gameplay was your typical MMO grindfest trash but I fucking love the art style and music. I wish there was even ONE other game like it that wasn't an MMO.

I mean trails in the sky has similar looking background art just not character and monster sprites

Two decades later and there still haven't been an MMO like RO.

Having played RO in the 2000s on a trial account, try Emil Chronicle Online. Play it blind with 8 niggas, you won't regret it.

oh did he wear that hat? That's pretty damning yeah.

with 8 niggas

walk into a castle

this absolute gigavirgin no-lifer slaps your e-gf's ass

What do?

I played a lot on the v servers and I came away thinking it’s just OK, class balance is really really bad

Ah that's true I guess.

MMOs are better played with friends

friends, haha...
hah...

RO has an old school way of design where classes aren't meant to be balanced, but are designed to be unique. Every one of the core classes (not including expandeds) has a niche, although some are good in PVM, others in PVP.
The Anon Babble servers had no PVP though so you didn't really see the utility classes like Stalker or Gypsy much.

anon! we're all friends here...

I miss it bro

I'm guessing no servers anywhere near Europe?

Atomix ECO is in France or something. Be warned like half the class skills don't work, but it's the closest to prerenewal progression with map grinding.
eco.atomixro.com/index.php
There's 2 other SEA servers ECO Iris and Nekogame while have mostly working classes, are based on the last patch and more MSQ focused.

Also none of these are official servers, those closed around 2017.

Ragnarok 3 will for sure save the IP from the endless mobile hell

aRO

Which aRO? There were lots of aROs so I'm curious if you played on the same one I did angelicRO

What exactly was the appeal of RO? I'm 30 and played it when I was 12. I just remember going to some desert area and killing sand blobs with firewall. And the slutty gypsy dancers. And guild war castle sieges.
Nothing particularly impressive when you had WoW

Damn I miss the emo sluts holy fuck, they were literally everywhere. There wasn't a single MMO in the 2000s without them, or slutty pinays.

Sucks that RO is completely dead in the west so zero woe.

there's literally a new official server 2 days ago, but it's latinx

and it is renewal

they need to give RO the sonic mania treatment
update the visuals, rebalance a few things but leave it the same at its roots.

First off, it came out years before WoW. It was also free to play since 90% of people played on private servers.
Second, the game has a great visual charm and amazing music. A lot of the spritework is still good to this day, and RO was the first real game about collecting hats, doing it years before TF2 muscled into the market. It was still a korean grindhouse MMO, but a lot more fair than maplestory or other kMMOs would end up being, and because you were playing on a pserv, you could find one with good rates.

The gameplay is...honestly? Fine, though dated. A lot of the fun comes from anticipation of how strong you could become, of seeing what other people are doing and looking up to them. The core gameplay is simple but still entertaining, and the high end PVP remains unmatched to this day. There are so many unique strategies and RO is a game of absolute extremes - skills don't just do a few extra % damage, they multiply your damage exponentially. Statuses completely lock you in place but you can get immunity to them. You can become invincible to entire types of damage but each invincibility interacts with others. I do wish renewal hadn't ruined everything, but I also can see that there wasn't much more to go upwards. The game was already being stretched hard by later episodes. Shame that instead of fixing it, Gravity just turned the game into a shitty WoW clone.

just pop it and get it back

Hey Lids

LIveJournal was a magical time to be on the internet.
Facebook and Instagram are faggy places that ban all the emo sluts so they don't get to interact with anyone else.

ultra tryhard guides were not a thing back then

make battlepriest

make woe guild with friends

job is going around the castle and murder stragglers who think i'm an easy frag

life is good

I'll never live down the high of winning our first castle.

>ultra tryhard guides were not a thing back then

But they were. Most of there were wrong tho (as usual), like the 99 int 99 vit priest for WoE.

AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF AWF

They were, as you said, most of the times wrong and not as easy to find as today. We had scuffed vibes based builds and we performed on par with most of the more hardcore population of the server in both woe and mvp.
Today as soon as a game comes out you already have a trillion youtubers with autistic optimizations. If that was a thing back then we would never be able to win anything with what we were playing.

REE REE REE REE REE REE REE REE REE

If I were rich, I would buy the IP and kill it for good...

What do you think they're doing?

Yeah, everyone knows the true tryhard WoE priest is 90 DEX, 90 VIT, 30 STR. But fuck convincing people who don't know why it is.

it was never intended to be RO. Art and music are top tier but the combination of shitty coding and no clear direction with rampant korean p2w ruined it.

both RO and ToS now chase mobile retards

koreans are soulless holy shit

it was never intended to be RO.

That's bullshit and you know it

buy an ad for a 20 year old game.

Is the Ragna/v/ server still up?

it was 99 int, 95 vit, rest dex for support priest cause you got +5 vit at job 50 and immunity to some status effects like stun and silence

the owner downported renewal so it went to shit but it is still up.

They are vultures feeding on its corpse.

the game originally didnt even have a mouse mode. Someone who came into contact with the devs claimed it was supposed to be an exploration MMO and while the final game had some aspects of this it was a total mess. The style is similar and the producer calls himself mastermind behind RO but I dont think they ever officially claimed it to be a successor to RO.

not as easy to find as today

I can't remember the name but the biggest fansite (or one of the biggest) had a theorycrafting section full of tryhards. Most were wrong because back in the day most people didn't even try the builds, just theoryshitted them had spammed the forums. Same for resources, I used two different databases to find what and where to grind. I wasn't google impaired tho.

Also the players changed, back in the day the people was happy just making their own build ("I'll be a falconer!" or "I'll play the high INT low DEX slow cast wizard with bigger numbers!" or I'll play a dagger assassin so my class is spelled two times with ass!") to have fun or be unique, nobody expected to "le experience all le game" playing casually with one class. And just playing with a lot of people from all along the world was a special thing (meanwhile modern MMOs like WoW shit themselves with 200 players in the same area).

Nobody knew the meta or was used to "abuse" consumables in a MMO, so INT was overvalued.

99 int

Not in WoE, nigga. You don't even heal and you don't need the silence immunity.

Never played ragnarok, but why does this actually matter? Every time I've seen videos of people playing they're usually spamming 1-2 skills like maplestory. I'm

You went 1 INT for WoE priest because the only priest skill that scales off INT was Heal. People should be bringing their own potions to WoE, your job was to maintain buffs, debuffs, safety walls and pneumas, sanctuary on the emperium, aspersio to cuck attackers, basically anything that wasn't pressing Heal.

Maybe you'd get 18-24 INT just to ease your own SP concerns, but definitely no higher.

I'm

He's gone

Gravity assassins got him

original plans for RO were ruined shortly after Alpha phase due to people breaking into their servers and wiping and/or stealing their data

so many things that they planned never came to fruition like multiple races, day/night and weather cycles, a morality system, player housing, and other things

now nobody even remembers the manhwa the MMO was originally based on in the first place that the game was supposed to be about until plans were radically shifted due to the data breach and most of the old team quitting/leaving/fired

You usually built for a single skill and minmaxed its damage, the exception were wizards with like two spells.
All that just to lose in dps for a rich blacksmith spamming mammonite.

the manwha author is literally the writer of the current games story

and then they released the totally fucked up anime.

Not him I just saved that from the Anon Babble thread kek

Original RO didn't have a story because they didn't bother after the breach. They added areas and said "go at it". Worked out in the end actually since there was no railroading or overall goal other than 'see numbers get bigger'.

The anime had a charm to it

COLDO BOLTO

MAMONAITO

Time to confess Anon Babble
Did you actually play Ragnarok Clicker ever?

Yes, until they introduced generic AI smoothing for the sprites. Then I left an asshurt negative review and uninstalled.

sometimes i join private servers with completely retarded rates just to walk around the maps again
for me it's Comodo, the Pyramid and Toy Factory

didn't they add the cat race at some point? also some private servers I played in had day and night cycles

Walking around. Listening the BGM
The monsters noises
Squeek squeek squeek
Sniff sniff

literally never got good at RO

never got +10 gear (outside of meme super high rate servers)

never killed anyone in PvP

never was of much use in WoE

never even helped much on grinding or MvP parties

most of my memories only involve grinding solo with multiple characters all over the world

and yet I love this game to death and miss playing it dearly

How did they manage to make such a memorable and enjoyable game?

Yeah they added Doram which could be Summoners.

Different times, before the social media apocalypse.

I still miss hanging around in front of prontera.

Original RO didn't have a story

I almost feel bad for you.

what the fuck??

there is nothing more intimidating than a hyperventilating MVP standing directly over your corpse

Your attempt to masquerade as an oldfag is baffling as you keep fucking up.

No idea. I saw him in another advertisement for the race lined up with the others.

They should make RBO2.

NTA, if Maya and Judia didn't exist, the anime would've honestly been forgettable

The two best characters almost rightfully leaving the party behind for how much of a fucking jobber Takius is

Few things in this world would make me more happy than new RBO

The 2d/3d Visuals are the charm, but they literally did that with Eternal M/Ragnarok X for mobile and RO Idle Adventure

Honestly though the charm of RO is how rooted in the past it is. It doesn't hold your hand that much even with the Renewal updates that added the newbie center and daily quests.

Takius

The whole time i spent watching the anime i was waiting for takius to just nuke someone, but nope, it's just infinite jobbing.

I liked the anime, it stayed true to the game and I fucking cried so hard for the Loli Merchant getting raped in the alley

selling in alberta without joining the (((((merchants))))) guild

Bitch had it coming.

The poor Alice, too. Goddamn they knew how to tug at heart strings.

RBO was fun, Idle isn't too bad either

composer remastered all the tracks on his yt channel not that long ago

Would be cooler with sunglasses.

too tryhard
he doesn't need them to be cool

THIS
I was literally just playing yesterday

He started remastering them 5 years ago

But i don't think he remastered my favorite one
youtube.com/watch?v=2C23yfbkjj0

The type of stuff one of the main mmorpg pillars has been reduced to

Sad times all around.

thief and knight

Does stuff like parsec even work with RBO?

I don't know. I play with my family

Frenchbread went on to make fighting games after RBO

I still have hope that someday they at least remaster it, gravity whores the IP for peanuts anyway, it should be dirt cheap.

Delete this thread guys I can't take it anymore

No, it's time to suffer some more
youtube.com/watch?v=kxwjATV8ikk

What game? How was it?

They made quite a few, they should be at least decent and selling well since they keep making more
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French-Bread
But if you are asking about Ragnarok Battle Offline (RBO)
It's just the best beat-em-up ever made.

For me it's Payon Dungeon
Everything about is just so
so everything

the BGM

the enemies and how they progress like skeletons/zombies soldier skeleton/archers/eggryas into munaks/bonguns into sohees/ninetails and then dokebis/horongs and a smattering of the previous ones too

the layout is also cool like in the 4th level with the symmetry

little unique quirks like the mushroom pond in floor 2 or hydra area in floor 3

final floor is absolutely perfect for a boss area

and Moonlight is the cutest MVP

with an awesome card to boot

Just. I'm going to go listen to Payon Dungeon BGM on loop now
But I love hearing love so if you also have a similar post about the dungeon you love share it and tell why too

didnt some dogshit company make an AI generated trailer for the "re-release" of ragnarok recently?

Might be the shitty LATAM server that just opened

LATAM server

Latin America server

mfw the memes became reality

get urge to play RO again after 10 years

spend a whole day finding the right server

get in, make char

get to lv99 and moderately geared

run out of shit to do other than do the same thing again on 12 other job classes

uninstall

Elaborate. What did I miss out on?

not that anon, but every MMO had a massive player count spike when everyone was forced to stay home for 6-12 months.

moderately geared

Found your problem.

These comics are so ancient. Keep them coming.

NTA but I always liked this one.

I miss the old aldebaran clock tower so much.

First floor had a bunch of bathories spawning in the center circle, could just run loops around, the chillest farm spot. People on my first pserv would drag the bathories away or pull Bapho Jrs into the center to mess with others. Also punks were a fairly good option to farm jexp.

Second floor was clocks everywhere, you could sit in a room at the top left and clocks would respawn on top of you, I remember leeching a friend for hours there while he slept

Alarms, nigga, alarms

CT4 being this absolute mess of everything up to that point, fun to challenge yourself with a small party, just complete chaos

Then you have the basement, high orcs being a classic levelling spot, love brilights, great drops back in the day

Go to CTB3 and oh look it's hydras OH FUCK WHY DO THEY MOVE I'M DEAD

CTB4 was mass anolian farm, huge exp huge zeny

Then the BGMs were pure kino. Alde town theme is one of my favorite town themes and even the upper clock tower floors were superbly done, I love the clock motif they integrated with the constant ticking and twisting it with tempo changes youtube.com/watch?v=Py035V2mG7E
Coming back out of the tower after your berserk pot ran out and chilling with the ten or so people sitting by the kafra.

That's a good one. I remember the spot right outside clock tower was also a good alternative hangout spot

blessed image

My most significant RO memory is a finnish guildmember of ours shot himself dead in our post-WOE vent chat saying he was so happy to finally experience something positive like this with friends.

We recorded audio all-night praying it was a prank, but like 8 hours of silence was interrupted by policemen finding him

fugg :DDDD

Jesus

Jesus, that sucks. Sorry to hear.

I used to be a GM on limitRO, over a decade ago. As I was tweaking around with items in the DB building broken shit to use (as all GMs do) I build a completely retarded bow and for shits and giggles I spawned it and put it on. While I was in the middle of prontera. The astute of you will already know where this goes. The GM sprite does not have a sprite to carry a bow. I crashed literally hundreds of people into endless sprite errors, as well as me. What further complicated the reason is that I wasn't playing on my PC, I was actually using a client hosted on the server itself, which I connected through remotely, so I couldn't just alt-f4 to DC. Whole thing took a few hours to resolve and I was instantly booted off the team.

Good times.

what the fug

based

On my first pserver, there were multiple ways to break the server. The most common one that took way too long to resolve was just popping dead branches. The dead branch DB would spawn Dark Priest, but the sprite wasn't in the files so it would crash anyone in range and nobody knew why.
The real cheeky shit was to crash the server by spamming dozens of ice walls on top of each other. It just overloaded the server and took nothing to do, I recall some people would use it to crash during WoE or to reset MVP timers. A few people got banned for it.
And of course the tried and true method of trying to use a 0 INT creator to bomb a 0 VIT target would crash servers for years until eventually eA fixed it.

That sounds traumatizing just reading it now
I can't even imagine

Yea, I won't forget that noise or the guilt I feel for not really being all that affected by it. We were on friendly terms, but I never really considered him a friend since he was really bad at speaking English but understood it fine thus we never connected much.

It's given me a lot in terms of empathy and trying to be understanding of others, but it still feels really shallow and hollow considering I don't even know what could've pushed him to that point. I later learned it was a thing for suicidal people to go out at a 'peak' of happiness thinking that was something they wanted to feel for the last time rather than the sadness.

0 INT creator to bomb a 0 VIT target

Devilish!

played RO 5 years ago

revved up into parties from the getgo, didn't care whom where why and how

played it semi recently

for some reason my brain is just pushing me away from partying with randoms or anyone

something has gone very wrong with me and it has nothing to do with the playerbase or game changing

I hate this game, and all of you as well!

the tried and true method of trying to use a 0 INT creator to bomb a 0 VIT target

I remember how in the server I played the most on, for a small period of time it became the meta to make a clown with a card that gives you negative VIT (can't remember which one) to get to 0 VIT and become immune to all the creators spamming AD that were literally everywhere. Until they caught on and started using Acid Bomb with weapons that had 4 of the stun on hit card, as well as putting gypsies spamming scream everywhere to cause infinite stun. Fun times.
There was also one time I used a star gladiator on a solo guild during WoE, jumped over a random guild's entire castle and murdered their emperium in no time by myself, which caused a few of the server's big guilds to try that gimmick as well every so often.

I was a teen on my first pserv and being young I didn't really know anything. I found out only years later that one of the prominent figures on it was a tranny. Looking back on it, he was definitely trying to groom several of the players, myself included (thank fuck I dodged that bullet) and it leaves a dirty feeling in my mind. Especially since this is over a decade before tranny culture hit the mainstream and nobody really knew what to look out for.

And of course the tried and true method of trying to use a 0 INT creator to bomb a 0 VIT target would crash servers for years until eventually eA fixed it.

lmao
Black hole simulator in RO

Back when grooming was tough and required the troons to travel and infiltrate communities. Not like now where they just lazily idle in Discord and shotgun spam anime PFPs

Funny how we went from "Internet is a dangerous place, don't put personal info on it, don't talk to strangers, don't trust strangers" to "Here, take this ipad and go watch elsa vore 24h compilation and go hang out with infinite pedophiles on roblox"
