I never really got much into RO besides fucking around on private servers ~15 years ago, but the music and the vibe are so peak. Will another MMO like this ever come out?
>>743293647Its the case for most MMO: Flyff, Ragnarok Online, Fiesta Online, Florensia etcTheir soundtracks was another level, Soundtemp and the like were crazy good at getting that 2000 feel. Some are still alive but we are all a husk of our former shell
>>743293647a grinder that only neets and kids have time to play?propably not
>>743293647ragnarok was a lightning in a bottle. The game development was a trainwreck and the game was released in a unfinished state due to a hack that leaked the source code + corporate/development drama. Everything after the 1.0 made the game objectively worse because the director left the development right before the 1.0 release and the new devs had no idea what they were doing.

>>743293647RO3 is around the corner.
RO3 is releasing soonish. I already told my brothers-in-law to prepare for it. They live in the same neighbourhood so there will be LAN parties.
Ragnarok Online but with actual character customization is my dream MMO
>>743301597>being excited for RO mobile game asset flip 15788917569816719lol
>>743293647Look forward to Ragna/v/ 4 next year.
>>743301984Hair + headgears was enough for me, at least with such a simple style. The actual character customization happened within the booming fanart culture of the game back then.
>>743301991>asset flipit better than that upcoming "rpg" that literally just uses the original sprites with some ai filtering.I can't believe that shit is not only real but official.
>>743293647The audience is too different compared to 20 years ago. They would rather play roblox and fortnite.
>>743293647I played RO in the early 2000s and even joined a Guild. I never liked that it requires you to devote a chunk of your life for the guild. So I quit. Later on I played OriginsRO casually and I noticed the game is much more pleasant when your sole focus is only exploring and doing personal adventures with a small party. I've searched for something similar but Don't Starve Together or Genshin Impact seems to be the closest thing to what I want. I was hoping RO3 would be more casual but based on the trailer they are doing that same GvG P2W grind fest.
>>743302740The current audience is 35 year old NEETs who played RO as kids.
>>743293647No. Nu-music sucks, designers will only get lazier with AI and technology, community is lazy and wants convenience (party matchmaking) over ground-up interaction, gameplay is hand-held for experiences (rotations) rather than the old model of giving a character abilities and telling them to figure it out in the world, art is soulless and made to appease audiences for profit (safehorny coomer designs or don't offend anyone designs)
>>743303584The great thing about RO was that there was no pressure to do any of the PvP/WoE/MvP stuff. You just needed to find the right casual guild or party to go explore with.
