Ragnarok Online History

Ragnarok Online (Korean: 라그나로크 온라인), often referred to as RO, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game or MMORPG created by GRAVITY Co., Ltd. based on the manhwa Ragnarok by Lee Myung-jin. It was first released in South Korea on 31 August 2001 for Microsoft Windows and has since been released in many other locales around the world. Much of the game's mythos is based on Norse mythology, but its style and settings have been influenced by a wide variety of international cultures. The game has spawned an animated series, Ragnarok the Animation, and a sequel game, Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of the World, is in development. Player characters interact in a 3D environment but are represented by 2D character sprites for front, back, and side facings

Setting
An event taking place in Morroc, a desert town
Ragnarok Online is divided into a series of maps, each of which has its own terrain and native monsters, though many monsters are present in multiple regions. Transportation between maps requires loading the new map and monsters cannot travel from one map to another.
There are three major nations in Ragnarok Online, the first of which and where all players start is Rune Midgard. The Schwaltzvalt Republic, an industrialized neighbor to the North, was added in Episode 10[3] and Arunafeltz, a religious nation modeled after a combination of Israel and Turkey is the subject of Episode 11.[4]
A series of other, minor nations also exists, generally modeled after an ancient society in the real world, examples such as Amatsu, which is modeled after ancient Japan,[5] and Louyang, which is modeled after ancient China.[6]
Areas from Norse mythology are also included, such as Niffleheim, the land of the dead, and Valhalla, where players can become Transcendent Classes. New map content is constantly being added to game in the form of Episode updates.

Gameplay
Ragnarok Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, where players can create several characters per account, but can only control one character at a time. Basic gameplay involves killing monsters wandering around the game world in order to gain experience and level up. This is referred to PvE combat. Players can accept optional quests from non-player characters for special rewards and to flesh out the game's fantasy world. An extended series of quests have to be completed for most job advancements. There is no main narrative, and players are free to explore the game world in a non-linear manner.
PvP combat is the other main type of gameplay, of which there are several forms of. See the section Player vs. Player.

Job System
Jobs are one of the most important aspects of Ragnarok Online, as the job a player chooses will have profound implications on his or her strengths and weaknesses, both in a party and outside of one. The job system includes a total of 39 different jobs, divided into 6 categories: Novices, Super Novices, First Job Classes, Second Job Classes, Transcendent Classes and Extended Classes. First classes consist of six basic archetypes; Swordman, Magician, Archer, Acolyte, Merchant, and Thief. Each specializes in certain skills, and uses class-specific weapons and gears.
All players start in the game's first class, the novice. Novices are, as their name implies, largely a tutorial class built for allowing new players to get the general feel of the game. Once reaching a level goal, players can change to one of six first classes, or choose one of the expanded classes, along with Super Novices. Upon reaching another level goal, first classes can then change into one of two second classes. Once the player reaches base level 99 and job level 50, they can elect to "rebirth" their character, and relevel as a transcendent class, which has more skills and a larger number of status points to work with, although the experience curve is much higher.
A player will change jobs multiple times over the course of playing, though the number of changes will be determined by choices made by the player.

Private servers and emulation
Ragnarok Online's official server software is called Aegis, which is used by iRO, kRO, euRO, phRO, bRO and other local versions. Several server emulators have been developed for use in hosting private servers. Regardless of the legalities, many private servers are active today, and it is debatable whether or not their existence has created a loss of revenue for legitimate official servers. With many official servers changing over to a Free-to-Play with cash shop revenue model, their future viability is called into question. Although many private servers have no donate-for-advantage models, some players feel more secure in the environment. Server emulation follows the development of the Korean version, thus they often contain more recent updates than other local versions, although quality is often far below that of the official servers.
One of the main differences between official and private servers is that the rates are often modified in private servers to make it faster for the players to level, or to obtain specific items. Sometimes private servers also modify original content, add new items, and implement a donation system to make money out of these custom items. There are servers that implement a new job by deleting an original job (e.g. Padawan, Jedi). Adding or deleting maps is also very common in private servers, as well as relocating NPCs (Non-Player Characters) to a common area. In addition, there are some private servers that try to imitate official servers by staying as true as possible to the original game.
While the legality of private servers is debatable, it is against the Ragnarok Online EULA to be a founder or owner of a Private server (commonly referred to as a "p.server"). On the iRO (International Ragnarok Online) game policy page of their website it is listed as a felony, and if the owner/founder is currently a member of the iRO community and playing on a Pay to Play server (or P2P), it will result in their ID being deleted.Two of the Ragnarok Online private server emulators include eAthena and Aurora.

Ragnarok Mobile
Gravity Co. Ltd. released 8 separate games for the mobile phone allowing players to experience the game on the road. Each version focuses on the main aspect of the acolyte, thief, merchant, mage, archer, and swordsmen class based on the version of the game they have. Players are able to advance their characters using the attributes STR, AGI, VIT, LUK, INT, and DEX. Though not placed in the server, players control their character and complete a series of quests or tasks. As players earn zeny, (the in-game currency), they are able to send the zeny to their real accounts. Along with that, a ranking is present where characters are ranked by the amount of zeny the character has.

Value of Life

I saw a article in TIME Magazine--Value of Human Life: $129,000.
Then I read it and I saw this:
Operation for a longer life takes $129k.

Our life for money?
Now that is MONEY SPEAK I GUESS.

Value of Life... for me.... worths nothing. you cannot trade anything for your life. Life if short as they say.. Our Life doesn't worth billions, even quintillons of dollars. It is more than that. Many more. i read an article on TIME magazine that some people sell their kidneys for money.. I do not suggest selling your kidneys for money. because our kidneys is part of our life.

Tauren Chieftain Guide and Strategy (Dota-Allstars 6.60)

Tauren Chieftain Guide and Strategy. Cairne Bloodhoof the Tauren Chieftain is one of the most anticipated heroes on Dota 6.60 (the other one is Batrider). This post will be a place to share guide, walkthrough and item builds for Tauren Chieftain. This guide is still on proggress, so any feedback or suggestion from you is really helpfull :)

Story
Since ancient times it has been prophesized by the Tauren elders that a Chieftain will come, strong as the mightiest warriors and wise as the eldest shamans. After many years of wandering the sacred lands, seeking wisdom from his forefathers, Cairne Bloodhoof has proven himself as the long awaited hero. Cairne carries with him the spirit of his mightiest ancestor, and now the ground shakes with the combined strength of the Chieftain and his guardian spirit. No physical nor magical barrier can reduce the power of his enchanted halberd, the weapon used by his guardian in ancient times. Such is the power of this axe that it can split the very earth itself. Seeking revenge for the ravaging of his homeland, Cairne will soon bring his wrath upon the Scourge.

Base StatsStrength: 24 + 2.7Agility: 14 + 1.5Intelligence: 23 + 1.6Attack Range: 150Movement Speed: 300Cast Point 0.4Attack Point 0.35

Hero Class: Strength

SKILLS:

Echo Stomp

Calls upon the spirit of his ancestors to join him in an earth-shattering echo, rendering nearby foes unconcious. The spirit and Tauren Chieftain both deal 80 damage in the area, the Spirit dealing magical damage and the physical form dealing physical damage. Unconscious enemies will wake if they get hit. If the spirit is seperated from you, it will still perform its part of the spell.If you damage a knocked out unit, it no longer becomes knocked out/immobile.There is a spirit version of you doing the stomp animation with you at the same time (you can see it as well). You deal physical damage and it deals magical damage.Physical Damage: 80Magical Damage: 80Channel Time: 1.4 secondsAOE: 500Knockout duration: 2/3/4/5 secondsManacost: 100/115/130/145Cooldown: 15Only player based damage can wake heroes. Damage dealt during a brief period after the stomp will not awaken heroes (0.65)
The knockout caused by this skill is very nice. 5 seconds is nice amount to prepare a combo attack. The only drawback that it needs 1.4 seconds to cast it. Use this together with Ancestral Spirit to land it better.

Ancestral Spirit

The Tauren Chieftain sends forth his guardian ancestor to bring ruin upon his foes. While seperate from the Chieftain, the spirit will mimic his movement and damage any unit it passes through. When it rejoins the Chieftain, it grants him bonus damage and movement speed for each enemy it has struck.Magical Damage: 120/160/200/240AOE: 275Damage per creep: 3/6/9/12movement speed per creep: 1%Danage per hero: 10/20/30/40movement speed per hero: 5%Cooldown: 19Manacost: 110Max Charge Time: 8If the spirit has not rejoined with you before that period, it will charge towards you to move back into you and enchant you.Enchanted Time: 9 (The duration you have the buffs after the joining of the ancestral spirit)
This skill is very helpfull to reach an enemy from far away. The distance you can cast your spirit is further than Blink Dagger, use this. You can also cast this on forest or hill. But you will need some practice in order to move the spirit well.

Natural OrderPassive.

The Tauren Chieftain uses wisdom gathered throughout the ages to reduce everything to its most basic level. Removes base Magic and Physical resistance.AOE: 250Percentage nullification: 25%/50%/75%/100%Note: This exists on the spirit as well.
Lots of people is missunderstanding this skill. It's only remove the base magic and physical resistance. But some people interpreted 100% percentage nullification(level 4) as totally remove the resistance and make the damage pure. But yes, if your enemy doesn't have Hood of Defiance, your magical damage will pure ;) This skill counter Davion very much as his base armor is very high.

Earth Splitter (Ultimate)

Using his mighty axe, the Tauren Chieften rends the very earth itself, sending a jagged crack under the feet of his enemies. After several seconds the earth implodes, sending his foes tumbling inwards. Any unit caught in the implosion will take damage based on their maximum life and have their speed slowed for a short time. Implodes after 3 seconds. Deals 35% of a unit's maximum HP.Cast Range: 1600Travel speed: 600 msDelay after maturity: 0.5 secondsAOE: 350Damage: 35% of each unit's maximum HP (half magical, half physical)Slow Amount: 30/40/50%Slow Duration: 3/4/5Cooldown: 90/75/60Manacost: 175Example: You target a point, from where you are towards 1200 in the angle you click on, the split starts growing.The split grows at 600 ms, so it takes 2 seconds to reach the end.After it reaches the end, it plays an animation preparing for the implosion for 0.5 seconds and then it pulls everyone in and does the dmg/maim.

-Max Ancestral Spirit for harassing and farming. You're a melee hero and Ancestral Spirit is help you harass and farm. Combine with Echo Stomp you can stun your enemies from distance. Earth Splitter taken as fast as possible because it's really a great skill with long cast range, huge area and decent damage.

Core Items:

Bracer,Battle Fury,Power Threads

-Tauren Chieftain is a versatile hero. At first, i thought he was like Earth Shaker (Raigor) who merely a spell caster. But after some games with him, i realize that he's more like Admiral/Kunkka. He has 3 active skills, but his DPS is high and his passive support this. With the bonus damage and movement speed from Ancestral Spirit, you can kill lot of heroes in the process. To maximize this potential, i suggest Battlefury and Power Treads as the core items. The Treads will give you attack speed and more movement speed to chase your opponent after your stun/slow. Battlefury is work nice as your spells is area and you will give huge damage at ease. Not to mention the mana regeneration.Some Bracers for early last hitting and additional HP, if you farm well, you can skip this and buy Battlefury instead. Town Portal is a must to set a gank or helping team mates.

Luxuries:

Sange And Yasha, Refresher Orb OR heart of Tarasque OR Shiva's Guard OR Assault Cuirass

-Sange Yasha is now cheaper and gives you more movespeed bonus. Tauren has high base movement speed (310), with Sange Yasha and Spirit bonus, almost every enemy get captured by him. Get a Refresher Orb to take 70% of enemies HP in an instant with double Earth Splitter. If you want to tank, go to Heart of Tarrasque instead. Shiva's Guard for more AoE damage and cover your lack of armor. Or if you want some DPS, get Assault Cuirass instead.

Strategy

-Start of with 2 Healing Salve and Circlets. Your main priority is to last hit/deny and aim for your Ring of Health immediately. If you have a stunner lane mate, try to aim some kill with Ancestral Spirit and Stomp combo. If you don't, you still can harrass with your Spirit. Get your ulti as fast as possible.After getting your RoH, you are hardly to harass and can stay a long time in the line. Aim your Void Stone to make Perseverance. After getting your boots and maybe some bracers, start ganking. With Spirit + Stomp combo and a decent team mate, you will likely net a kill. Start with Spirit and place it on the middle of your enemy. Immediately Stomp, only blinker enemy can evade this. While your enemies still sleep, use your ulti if you have it. Then go near him and finish it with your mate. Remember if a hero attack him, he will wake up. So think twice before attack the sleep enemies. In the team fight, if you have a initiator(Ex: Magnus, Earthshaker, Tidehunter, Enigma), cast Earth Splitter as soon as your friend inits. If you don't have it, place Ancestral Spirit into the middle of your enemies (the distance you can cast the spirit is further than Blink Dagger range!). Cast Echo Stomp and continue with Earth Splitter. After that, start roaming with your Battlefury and the bonus movement speed. It's not strange to hear Triple Kill from Tauren in this version. So, before he got nerfed, enjoy your time ;) Have different thought? Share it here :)

In this post i will give you some peek about Batrider skills and ability along with the guide. This guide is still on proggress, so any feedback or suggestion from you is really helpfull :)

Base StatsStrength: 23 + 2.5Agility: 15 + 1.5Intelligence: 24 + 2.5

Attack Range: 375

Movement Speed: 290

Cast Point 0.3

Attack Point 0.5

Hero Class: Intelligence

SKILLS:

Sticky Napalm

Targets an area and drenches it in oil. Slows the movement speed and turn rate of units in that area. Extra casts of this on the same targets stacks.Any fire damage from batrider will ignite the napalm, dealing damage for each stack.Fire damage is any regular batrider attack, flamebreak or firefly

Flamebreak

Hurls a highly explosive cocktail of dangerous chemicals at the target position. Upon impacting with an enemy the missile explodes, dealing damage and knocking all nearby foes away from the impact. Any unit who has been Napalmed will take additional damage from the blast.Knocks back all units in the explosion area proportionally to how far they were from the center

Firefly

Flies high leaving a burning trail behind. Enemies who dare follow will get burned by the fiery napalm. Nothing can take the skies from him.Trees in your path are killed by the fire.Gives you flying pathing

Flaming Lasso (Ultimate)

Snags a target with a constricting lasso, allowing the Batrider to drag them behind him as he moves.Does not drag units over cliffs or impassable terrain.If you TP or blink away or get ported away, the lasso breaks.

Skills Build

Lv 1 : FireflyLv 2 : FlamebreakLv 3 : Flamebreak/Stick NapalmLv 4 : Sticky Napalm/FlamebreakLv 5 : FlamebreakLv 6 : Flaming LassoLv 7 : FlamebreakLv 8-10 : Sticky NapalmLv 11 : Flaming LassoLv 12-14: FireflyLv15: StatsLv 16: Flaming LassoLv 17-25: Stats

CORE ITEMS:

BRACERS,Phase BOOts, Force Staff,Void Stone

-This items build is for maxing your potential as a ganker. Phaseboot combined with Firefly is a great choice to chase the enemies while slowing them with Sticky Napalm. Bracers to add some HP and Void Stone will cover your mana regen. Force Staff is used to help catch the enemies. Flaming Lasso has short range cast. With Force Staff you can push enemies heroes to your range (need great timing) or push yourself to them (easier, but more risky as you're the one who come to them). Why not Dagger? I prefer Force Staff because it adds more Intelligence and relatively same purpose with dagger. Force Staff also add damage and attack speed which you're lack of.

LUXURIES:

Guinsoo,Bloodstone, Shiva's Guard

-Get Guinsoo for additional disable, great for ganking. Bloodstone also gives you health and mana, let you spam your skills on team battles. Shiva's Guard for additional AoE attack.

OTHER ITEMS:

Lothar's Edge, Keren's Dagger of Escape

-Lothar is actually not a bad item for him. Windwalk and immediately pulling one heroes into your team is sure a good idea. The drawback is that it easily counterable with Dust/Gem.Dagger is also viable for Batrider. Blink into your enemy and capture it. But i prefer Force Staff to help land his ulti though.This guide is still improving and need some feedback. But what about you? Have different idea or skillsets? Share it here ;)

RAGNAROK ONLINE: A NEW BEGINNING "Ragnarok Online 3 CONFIRMED in Development"

RAGNAROK ONLINE 3 IN DEVELOPMENT??

ON YOUR UPPER DIRECTION IS THE RAGNAROK DS.

Out of curiosity I went to RO2 wikipedia page today and the last sentence in the future paragraph was :"Also Ragnarok 3 is under development which will feature 2.5D graphics, much like Ragnarok Online" source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnarok_Online_2source of the source :P : http://www.etnews.co.kr/news/detail....d=200811170252I used the web translator, and from the obviously bad translation you can guess that RO2 is in trouble and there is indeed some mention of Ragnarok 3 ; are they talking abour RO DS ? The Wikipedia didn;t say Ragnarok *Online* 3 Someone enlighten me .

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM iRO Wiki.

Re: Ragnarok 3 in development ?
Looks fishy to me. The wikipedia edit was done by an unregistered user and only adds that one sentence. We'll have to wait for an actual korean translator to work on that, then...

Re: Ragnarok 3 in development ?
Ragnarok Online 2 is a very bad game that has almost nothing to do with Ragnarok Online, let alone is it any fun to play. You start the game out by naming your weapon. You get ONE WEAPON per your class. You can change your class as many times as you like. Way too focused on meaningless quests. I don't like how they made it look like Maple Story...etc etc.And that's why I went back to playing iRO.

Unless it's for mediaphones or something.Japs would still probably play it though lol.Still, I wish it was true. Current RO has been developed by so many people that it's honestly a clusterfuck(AFAIK 1-1 and 2-1 classes were done by one team, 2-2 classes by another team, and now 3rd classes are by yet another team, not to mention art direction changes, etc.). I mean RO is a clusterfuck by definition, but right now it's double clusterfuck

Looks more like ROSE online than Maple Story from what I've seen.

Re: Ragnarok 3 in development ?
The only thing that was good from RO2 was the BGM music.The graphics were neat and all but looked the same as a lot of other games. The quests were annoying except for the nice long and epic quest that I think there was like... 1 of.the savage bebe looked like a miniturized pig. not a piglet but a pig. It's stuff like that which I disliked. It tried too hard to be like every other wow ff whatever game on the market.

Yeah i heard RO2 got scrapped, and they were starting again. But, i heard they were just going to call it RO2 and pretend the last one never existed.

Re: Ragnarok 3 in development ?
Glad they Scrapped it.. it was looking way to much like wow. If i had a part in it I would put it after Morroc get resealed but the power of resealing him turns almost everyone back into novices (except the NPC's). That would sorda make sense. I bring back the original 6 classes and maybe 2 more and bring back trans later.Maybe have the game with Light cell shading so it still looks 2dish but is 3d. Since its 3d its easier to give all weapons a a separate look. Also they do do thinks like the higher stat you have the more different you look and attack. like your attack animation is different depending on how high you Agi .

Imo they should just make RO1: Renewal into RO2.

And leave the "old" RO as it is? I could go with that. Still suspicious towards Renewal.Oh and if someone wanted to finally translate these articles, go ahead! We won't mind!

Re: Ragnarok 3 in development ?
Frankly I wouldn't play RO2 just because it's called Ragnarok Online 2. It doesn't quite remind me of anything RO and so it just doesn't make that connection...@Toledo: Well without renewal we don't get 3rd classes. I know a lot of people aren't sure about renewal but are just nodding anyway since it's the only way we can get 3rds...

Re: Ragnarok 3 in development ?
In my opinion they should stop making a new ragnarok and rather recode the current RO client from scratch for better network latency, fix graphic problems (white maps, wierd stretched polygons when you zoom in too much and have an object in front of your camera, not sure how to describe it) and add additional features that you can activate if you want, like Normal Maps, Dynamic Lightning, BumpMaps or more complex 3d models for houses, crates, etc.Also a weather system and day/night feature would be pretty sweet.Ragnarok renewal could be pretty competetive with recent online games if they'd fix the bugs, improve the code, add some interface features and add some optional graphical improvements.

Re: Ragnarok 3 in development ?
@Steax: Out of entire Renewal, I'm least hot about the 3rd classes. What's been released so far is wasted ideas and terrible sprites. They don't really work well with the whole transcend system, either. Artifically stretching the entire system just to accomodate them means other classes will be made weaker. And to add insult to the injury, even though one of the points of Renewal was to balance things a bit, almost every 3rd class so far has a "FUCK YOU" skill. It's like fighting fire with fire.I'd much prefer 2-3 classes instead.

Problem with that is that what about all the 99s? It gets to a point where you have the gear and the level, so now what? The only current lasting "end-game" is WoE, and even still that's only 4 hours a week.

Well, you will reach max level sooner or later, even on Renewal. It's not like it will get more end-game content, either.
