Ragnarok?

(1/3) > >>

KibBen:
So, I just started playing RO today. Well, psiBLADE RO. Free server. Friend is a mod, or whatever they call them, there. Huge download, took two hours, but oh my goodness. It was worth it. I haven't had this much fun with a video game since the first time I played Diablo 2.

I currently have a level 33 (job level 24 or 25.. I think) archer. The going was a little tough at the beginning, as I'd never played it before, but I think I've caught on.

There's just one thing that picks at me, though: It seems to be difficult to find people to party up with. In the towns there are people all congregated in one place, not moving, not talking. I'm assuming they're in private chat rooms or are whispering, or whatever. In anycase, does anyone here play it? Or is interested in investing the time to download the client and join me?

Matdredalia:
I play RO on a free server as well, and that's one of the more...interesting aspects of the game, whether you're on an official server or not.....grouping isn't something really done when you don't have friends.

I mean, my family plays, so I group with them, and sometimes, one of us will find a friend, join a guild, and then we make friends, and we wind up with quite the crew, but honestly...

Grouping isn't something that's done like in games like EverQuest or World of WarCraft. It's not a necessity, so most people aren't shouting "LOOKING FOR GROUP!!!" every five minutes.

Generally, partying up is only really necessary for things like War of Emperium or killing MVP's.

And of course, yeah, a lot of people sit around in Prontera whispering back and forth. I know people who made Merchant class characters for that sole purpose so that when they just felt like sitting around, they'd at least be doing something functional, lol.

And by the way--Nice choice with Archer. My first character, ever, was an Archer, and I have a very serious soft spot for them. They're great (^-^)

KibBen:
Yea - I think every single game like this that I've even played, my first has been an archer. A soft spot back to my days of diablo one. :)

Lise:
I've played Ragnarok Online since it's beta days, and am proud to say that I have moved on to better games :x. The official server (iRO) has gone to the PITS. With the rise of so many free private servers (and in many cases, BETTER run servers), the numbers of players have dwindled down significantly to about 1,000 regulars (and 3/4 are bots).

Beware, kibBen, if you see non-talking characters who are killstealing you etc etc and warping away, they're probably bots and you should tell your mod friend to ban 'em. Bots are one of the reasons I quit iRO :), including incompetent GM's etc etc.

Anyway... I'm returning to old games, too. I'm thinking of starting up Everquest again, since I saw it on sale for $20. :)

PS: Have fun playing archer! Archer was my first character, too. She only made it to level 15 ;) before I switched servers.

est:
OK, somebody said the magic word! (Everquest)

I will tell you what I tell everyone who is even remotely interested in playing Everquest: please don't.  You're only encouraging them to make more mediocre, shitty games.  Have you tried Guild Wars?  Not your style?  If you really have to pay monthly for a game then how about WoW?

I am tending to steer clear of MMOs in general nowdays in favour of multi-player RPGs like Titan Quest, and get my interaction fix on the forums/irc/etc where if someone is an asshole to me I can ignore them & they won't try to PK or killsteal from me.
