Ragnarok Online

Been a looooong time. :d

I heard about all the further chaos of EO. And I also see Vult took the wrong path, continuing with his programming fixes instead of hiring good 'ole man power. Oh well. Ishan will be speeding again, and he'll teach everyone else how to shortly.

But EO sucks, I hate it.

Ragnarok Online on the other hand, there's some awesomeness.

Ragnarok honestly isn't THAT great of a game itself... But it is the best MMO ever.

But wait, how does that make sense?

Simple.

War of Emperium.

It's a little event that occurs every so often, different times for different servers.

And my GOD is it awesome.

Imagine this.

You have a castle. No, 20 castles spanning across the world.

These castles have the ability to give a guild treasures. GREAT treasures.

And well, to get these tresures, you have to go into one of these castles, break a little crystal called the Emperium, and viola. All yours.

Well, you do have to pay for the economy of the castle, which easily pays for itself. Like 200k gives you about 1.5mil of treasure.

Oh wait. Knew I forgot something. Forgot to mention those 20-50 or so people between you and that Emperium. Who happen to be fighting tooth and nail to stop you. Oh, and those big ass Guardians they hired to help.

So yea, just... kill the hulking Guardians, run through the big ass shower of 30 Meteors, the blizzard that freezes you, several traps that deal huge damage, snare you in place, and sap your SP, oh, watch out for the big ass knight on a giant chicken. And that Biochemist is flinging acid at you. Equipment breaking acid. And the Stalker's trying to remove all your equipments.

Did I mention the meteors?

Those Meteors hurt.

So so...

You survive 30 defenders.

Sadly, those defenders have friends.

30 of them.

Chaos ensues, you lose the castle.

This continues for an hour.

THAT is what WoE is like.

I'd also like to insert a video of a single raid. One guild versus another. This is on a larger server.

The quality is crap, but if you cana manage to see it good, you can tell guilds apart by the small icons above their heads. That's the only form of identification really in WoE. IT's too chaotic to check names, or appearances. Heck, even with emblems, it's still hard as Hell to figure out who's who.

And I'll finish with a few pictures of my own WoE experiences with Amicita, which is basically PGD on RO.

I will include links to how to get free RO later, but since too many idiots exist in EO and might wander upon this, I'm only putting a directory of servers, and not letting them near our precious server. :d They'll have a 1 in 200 chance of getting it right. (Pictures and links in next post)
