If i was 16 again i would play this non stop. But I am 32 with a job, I can only reminisce the days of grinding the chapel and graveyard with a TU Priest and training undead to the spawn / entrance. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA In retrospect that was such a jerk move. Ragnarok will forever be the best 2D isometric MMORPG.

About This Game
Battle weary from the long war's carnage, the factions entered into an uneasy truce. The truce grew into a fragile peace that lasted for a thousand years.
As the memory of that great war faded into legend, the humans began to fall back into the corruption, selfishness and arrogance that they had once risen above.
Breaking this time of tranquility is the sudden strange howl that tore through the boundaries dividing the Gods, Humans and Demons. Once peaceful creatures began to attack villages, and violent earthquakes ripped whole continents apart.
Sinister corporations to the north engage in twisted genetic experiments and the recent discovery of a pan dimensional portal has opened up amazing new adventures.
With the Ragnarok threatening to destroy Rune Midgard, adventurers are needed to step up and battle against the forces of Chaos. Join your friends in exploring the world and build your own legend in RO!

Key Features
Hybrid 2D/3D GraphicsOne of the first things noticed about RO is that the character and player models are sprite based while the towns, fields and dungeons are polygonal. This gives RO a unique visual style that hearkens back to the golden age of console RPGs.
Extensive PVE and PVP content
Whether you want to hunt down the toughest monsters in Rune Midgard or engage in our bi-weekly Guild vs. Guild War of Emperium, Ragnarok Online has over 10 years worth of content, including new maps, new classes, challenging instanced dungeons and PVP arenas and Battlegrounds.
Extensive class system
Every player starts out as a novice class character, from there you choose a class. Multiple branching paths when you level up adds up to a total of 32 classes, each with their own specific abilities. From the hard-hitting Monk to the Robot riding Mechanic, there is a class for every type of player.
Make your character your own
Character's skills stats are completely customizable with each choice ultimately changing the direction a character will take. Combinated with many different job choices this allows characters to be unique adventurers in the world of Ragnarok Online.
Forge, brew and sell
Merchant class characters can open shops, and put items up for sale in a totally player driven economy. In addition, certain classes can craft high level equipment and consumables.
Weekly events and updates
RO is updated every week with fun new things for players to do, and we have major quests and events added every month.
Passionate Community
The RO fanbase was established in the early 2000s and we have many players who have been with us since the game's early days. We have quests, in-game art and events that come directly from our extremely creative community.

I've played RO since 2000, but only discovered that it was in steam a few months ago. The steam version itself is ok... Not the best definately not, but not the worst either. It is a pixel-ish game. So if graphics are a big thing for you, RO is not for you. RO is possibly one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Not just from nostalgia alone, but there are certain decisions Gravity made that was just amazing. Here are some of them: -You don't have to chose your class immediately. -- it's a small design factor since you do go to a class system, but having the player wait till lvl 10 to get a class makes all that grinding a bit better. You grind in every RPG, but knowing that that grind can really change your character progression in a more significant way than just a few skills and attributes for your already established class. -Player to player trade is encouraged with the merchant class -- This is a big factor to me since it gives all that dead space worth something. Most MMORPG...
There was an update along time ago that unblanced the game and it still hasnt been resloved Monk class was absolutly destoryed Example. Hunter can dubble strafe for 15 mp and deal 2000 damage. Monk can cast Summon Spirit Sphere 8mp 5 times (40mp) then casts Throw Spirit Sphere 10mp and deals 800 damage. The hunter needs only dex where the monk needs str, dex and int The theifs skill dubble attack works on empirum but the tripple attack from a monk doesn't. Yes its one more attack but the theifs bonuses are applyed to each hit, where the monk only gets bonuses added once for the 3 attacks. Because monks at level 99 with a very specific gear could do insane damage using Asura Strike, they then desided to nuke to death the monk class by halfing their base HP and almost 1/3 their MP.
I would reccommend this game, I used to play it a lot, but now since WarpPortal is running it, it's broken. Whenever I try to run the game the WarpPortal software comes up and asks me to confirm my account to my email, but when I go to my email the confirmation doesn't show up and when I hit the "Send Request" button it crashes the application and when I hit "login" it closes and reopens the application.
Oh memories, so sweet.
just played this games got several issues not sure if it is my pc or this server, i got a lot of click delay and somehow my character died due to the monster attack hope they fixed this
I love it, but I hate that to play it on Linux I need to install through wine, please make it native for Linux some day.
Its so laggy is that normal for a game that looks like it can run on a gameboy advance?
A childhood memory like most who have came back and given this another whirl. Best mmorpg ive play ever. It hooked me, Made me get up before school to play, made me wag school to play, made me think stats whislt i was at school. Full customisable characters. When you put points and a shit load of points in agi you actually do attack with blinding speed. Love this game, sadly no friends who are intrested anymore. KILL BAPHOMONT!
This game was amazing back in the day, really only found it fun with casual friends. Can be boring alone.
