Logging in is like admitting you are a masochist.
OMG... these... these are my people <3
This was my reaction. screenshot taken from 'Dress Up Darling'. WATCH IT!
Ragnarok Online. 2002. A Korean MMO which means it's grindy as shit. and we still love it anyways.
because doing repetitive things such as killing mobs over and over again lets you enter a state Zen. calm meditation if you will.
My Fellow Filipinos with the same age group as me go bonkers for this game. like moths to a flame~.
It's not pay to win, it's pay for convenience~. YEAH RIGHT!
https://ro.gnjoy.asia/ , Link to the new and current Asian server(Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines). oh but we outnumber them. WE ARE LEGION.
a little bit of info about the game:
the game has undergone massive game mechanics changes since it's release.
we refer to the old system as 'CLASSIC' and the new one as 'RENEWAL', so there's two databases available online. there are numerous private servers after all.
Character Classes, You start as a Novice.
Character Tree. Source
The World Map, in renewal it's best you fight monsters near you level.
Now I'm gonna tell you about my progression since then.
We start my story with character creation. creating a Novice.
I am unique. just like everyone else.
and Right off the Bat, we see players shouting their political stances.
Soon enough I get enough Job levels to be promoted to a swordsman. Sad, no more obstacle course test.
YAH this is how we play it, armed only with a sword, because it's a swordsman.
But not everything is all fun and grind however.
and soon enough I became a Crusader, 'to protect the people!'. or so that's what they told me in the Crusader Academy.
It was getting kinda lonely.
but soon enough I met players to play with!
I heal their weak ass characters as they work their ass off to get me exp.
I'm doing a 'Sacrifice'/'Devotion'-centric build, not typical. But I love it.
Crusaders are good against undead.
I can definitely hold my own with my Holy 'Sword'. 😏
I just hope they(the company) a have a firm stance against Botting.
Haha. While the game is hell(like life lol). it doesn't have to be.
accept that the world is a shithole. then and only then can you find happiness even with the smallest of things.

It's nice though.
