Just RPG

While it does lend itself towards anime lovers, it is wonderfully done and I believe that everyone will find SOMETHING they enjoy about this game. You'll receive days, if not weeks, of pleasure from Ragnarok Online.

Warcry

A great game for those looking to try out the Korean style of MMORPG, but it really fails to rise to the standards needed to compete with the current heavy hitters in the industry. On the plus side, Gravity is gracious enough to give all of their potential players a free 15 day trial to see if Ragnarok just might be that MMORPG that they have been yearning for.

Gamers' Temple

Strictly for the anime, console-style RPG crowd, but if you’re in that group you may find yourself having a good time.

Nothing to say about such a great MMORPG game. I know there are lot of MMORPG games with better graphics like World of Warcraft but the total structure of RO pwns them all.

Anson G. gave it a10:
This is the most impressive game online RPG I've ever played. Download it, play it and have fun.

Gian A. gave it a10:
RO has changed the face of RPG.

Allen Y. gave it a10:
the best game ive played in years, and years, and years.

Chel F. gave it a10:
One of the best games ever!!! So many possible things to do it's kinda hard for it to become really boring.

Rick T. gave it a7:
As you begin playing the game as a novice you think to yourself."One day I will become one of the best there is." It was fun during the 2nd class stage well at least for me since the Monk class is a very complexed class. Right after I hit transcendant Champion I worked hard to get to 99. Then you just realize what is there to do next? There isn't really a point in the game after you have a transcendant class character.

Bonbon A. gave it an8:
Actually, Ragnarok Online was one of the 1st MMORPG. But it's pretty amazing, that it's still rocks until this time. Greatly, many people luph it and they spend a lot of time, playing with this one :)
