Feb 7, 2012 RF online|43views

After announcing that RO2 (Ragnarok Online 2) would kick off the official OBT in Korea on Feb. 22, 2012, Korea-based Gravity further made public an all-new poster for the game. In the poster, different characters in suits stand together to show unique charm.

Being an orthodox sequel to RO which is a hot, well-known Korean online game operated in 76 countries worldwide, RO2 started its final test on Dec. 26, 2011. Gravity is very glad of RO2’s commercial service launch, and wishes players to give the game continuous support and concerns in the coming days.

The full 3D MMORPG RO2’s greatest feature is that it allows players to cultivate their own combat & crafting classes and enjoy the fun of playing different roles. With such elements as the card system and color system further enhanced, players are expected to achieve additional fun of collection.

RF online Crafting Guide

May 14, 2009 RF online|3,427views

Efficient Ways to Level

• The complexity of an item does not effect the amount of PT that the character gains from crafting it.
• A character gains no PT from any items crafted that have a required level to use that is lower than 1/2 of the character’s related craft PT. (With the exception of Ammo crafting). Conversely, the amount of PT gained is static within this range. Therefore, craft the lowest armor that still gives PT, to reduce the chance of failures.
• It is cheapest to produce as many of the lowest level item as possible.

Weapon Crafting

• This skill provides for the crafting of weapons and shields. The cheapest option while leveling weapons is to produce knives. Crafter-type pure-classed specialists who are Lv 40 or higher have the ability to randomly craft Type A (Purple) or Type B (Yellow/Intense) weapons and Type A shields.

Armor Crafting

• This skill provides the crafter with the ability to craft each piece of armor, which requires a different color of processed ore.

 

Boots are by the far the cheapest materials to grind, they use the least amounts of materials. Crafter-type pure-classed specialists who are >L40 have the ability to randomly craft Type B (Yellow/Intense) armor.

Ammo Crafting

• Ammo Crafting allows the specialist to create special ammo for guns and bows. These can have elemental properties, splash type damage, or even increased damage. Ammo is no longer purchasable at the Sundries NPCs. The most effective way of leveling is to break down 4 stacks of Mid Mika into Louis Mika and All that Louis Mika into Mika. This should supply you with enough mika to go from 1-99 or at least 89 which is the last PT level you recieve a new recipe at. Getting to 99 PT only enhances your chance at success when creating ammo. Accretians cannot make rockets or flamethrower cartridges, but can manufacture grenade launcher ammo.

She was known as being the goddess of magic and healing. The Ancients believed that the rivers flooded every year because of her tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris. He was killed by her other evil brother, Seth, god of chaos and destruction. Seth sliced Osiris into bits and flung them into hell, letting the Demons eat the remains of his body. However, all the pieces survived, except for one of them. She cursed his name and gave herself to power bonding herself to the powers remaing in her husband and became a animus so that she may seek her revenge, but though she did get her revenge she was forever bonded to the title of animus and is forced to serve whoever should call on her power.

RF online review for warrior offense types on each race. Add to Bookmark

May 14, 2009 RF online|1,090views

Accretia:Punisher

PROS:
1. High attack power.
2. They have net to pin down enemies to stop them on their tracks.
3. They have an ability to make an enemy bleed and lose HP.
4. Their class attack skill, Mangle, can deal really heavy damage.
5. Easy access to Cure Chargers for being Accretians.

CONS:
1. Their running speed depends on high-end accessories which are really expensive.
2. Their class attack skill, Mangle, needs to land 4 hits for it to finish. Enough time for the enemy to cool down their potions and could have the chance to run away if they don’t get stunned.

Bellato:Berserker

PROS:
1. Similar to the Punisher, they too have high attack power.
2. Easy access to Velocity(speed), Aegis(defense), and Evasion(dodge). All three are Holy force buffs which can be obtained from casters of their respective race. Plus, they have a basic race spell that extends the duration of Holy force buffs giving them a very good advantage in PvP survival wise.
3. Their class buff does not also increase attack power but also dodge as well to give them a boost in dodge stats making them perfect for holding 2-handed weapons longer than any other warrior classes.
4. Their class attack skill, Double Crash, deals a serious amount of damage to enemies.
5. They have a de-buff class skill that slows down enemy movement giving them the opportunity to land fatal attacks.
6. More of a Dodger than a Def type.

CONS:
1. Very vulnerable from de-buffs such as Individual Cancellation or Shock Grenades that results to losing their force buffs.
2. Their class attacks skill, Double Crash, needs to land 2 hits before it finishes and could get enemies the advantage to run away if the skill is still in progress.
3. Has no access to normal NPC Cure Chargers/Potions. Must get those from shop which involves spending real money.

Cora:Templar

PROS
1. Similar to the Punisher and Berserker, they have 2 class buffs that increase attack power.
2. Not like the other two race class, they have an additional buff that increases critical attacks.
3. Also has a class buff to increase movement speed.
4. They also have access to Velocity(speed) which can make them run faster.
5. Their class attack skill, Full Swing, deals heavy damage.
6. The best warrior for DPS (Damage Per Second). Their Full swing skill only needs 1 hit for it to finish then can move on to other skills such as Pressure, Clout Chop, Slash, etc.
7. As the Templar falls under the race of Cora. Heavy damage is a norm to the class and its players due to the fact that accessories of Cora commonly have the ATK increase attribute.

CONS:
1. They don’t have the ability to stop or slow enemy movement down.
2. Vulnerable to de-buffs, similar to the Berserker.
3. Have no access to NPC Cure Chargers/Potions. Also similar to the Berserker.
4. Corite Templars are focused on attack that they have little talent in dodging and only have moderate defense for their survival. I suggest your survival would depend on your ATK damage.

RF Online Update Interview from mmorpg

Jan 15, 2009 RF online|661views

MMORPG.com:	It is quite unusual that an MMO begins with one publisher, is then shut down and re-opened with a new publisher. Can you tell us how this came to happen with RF Online?
CCR:	  They told us that they were apologised for having to take their service offline between when the Codemasters service ended and now and that while it may be much more commonplace for an MMO to go from start to finish with one single publisher, that this isn’t the only way that things can be done. They wanted to be clear that the closure wasn’t something that they were pleased with either, but that they hope that when the game is re-launched, their game will be better than ever. “We, CCR,” they said, “will do our best fr RF Online Global Service, and we guarantee no more service suspension will be generated later”. Â
  Â
MMORPG.com:	Is there any fear that, given its previous closure, players will perceive this as a failed game and stay away?
CCR:	They told us that: For an Asian market game, RF Online had a good and positive reputation in the Western MMORPG market while Codemasters served as publisher. They think that coming to the conclusion that RF Online is a failed game simply because of the service interruption would be a broad interpretation of the facts. They went on to say that The reactions of the games players can be read in magazines, blogs and their official website and while people have certainly had a lot of questions since their announcement at the end of last year, they feel that their answers have shown that those who might see the game as a failed game are incorrect.
MMORPG.com:	Can you tell us the differences between your RF Online and the Codemasters version?
CCR:	They told us that if they were to lay out all of the differences between their version and the Codemasters version, it would result in players who have been waiting for the game to launch to be unhappy. For now, they wanted to just simply say that the new RF Online under CCR will be the newest version available and will be different from the Codemasters version. “Please wait shortly”, they said. “You won’t regret joining our game.”
MMORPG.com:	Will players of the previous incarnation of the game have to “start over” when the new version launches?
CCR:	No, they don’t need to start over again. To resolve this issue, they held a character restoration event for former Codemasters users during their closed beta test. They plan to do something similar again when the game re-launches but with a different format.
MMORPG.com:	What will the business model be when RF Online re-opens?
CCR:	RF Online’s business model will be based on items sales. When players first start the game, there will be no cost to them signing in, but those who want to “more fun” can purchase the items that they need from in-game. They told us that they feel that this kind of business model is good both for MMO gamers who don’t want to pay monthly fees and the company that “wants to give more chance to play game to users.”
MMORPG.com:	Will there be an Open Beta after the Closed Beta, or will the game simply launch at that point?
CCR:	Commerical launch (or in this case re-launch) is an issue that they take very seriously and while they do currently have a schedule for it, they want to be careful about making any announcements because certain issues could come up that would force them to change it. They did, however, want to pass along a tip for MMORPG.com readers and that is that they will be “concretizing” their schedule based on the success of their closed beta test. For now, they told us, their number one priority is to “prepare the game perfectly”.

Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of the World

Dec 23, 2008 RF online|3,686views

“Will the younger brother can make a big success like its big bro?”

 

 

 

 

Well well, after a big success in Ragnarok (iRo - now has come to episode 11.3), Ragnarok 2 – Gate of the World has been release. Even though there’s still have many error and bug (especially for Vista), a lot of fans still join and support iRo’s younger brother. Base on Norse Mythology, better music and especially, 2D graphic has changed to 3D, hopefully these big improvement will bring a better result than its Big brother iRO.

 

General features:

Ragnarok Online 2 improves on many of the original’s features as well as adding quite a few of its own. Below are notable new features or changes that will be seen in Rok2. Larger features are described in detail. Not all game features have been announced yet.

• Full 3D graphics, while retaining the “original manhwa style” of Ragnarok Online.
• Real Emotion Expression, allowing player avatars to show and express realistic emotions. This will replace the “bubble emotes” from the original.
• Anti-Theft Mob System, which gives benefits to a victim of kill-stealing instead of penalizing the offender.
• Safe Trade System, which enables two ways of trade. The first option requires an item from both parties (or Zeny) and the second option allows the trade of an item or amount of Zeny without having to receive something in return.
• Killing one strong creature has been redesigned to be far more effective than killing multiple weaker enemies. Grouping has also been made far more beneficial to those in the group.
• Loot collection has been changed to a “loot the body” system. Instead of making dropped items fall onto the ground, the player must select the fallen enemy’s corpse and retrieve the items.
• Jumping and swimming have been implemented.
• There will be a day and night cycle.
• Besides day and night cycle, weather effects such as rain is available. It is possible that in the future there will be snow effects for Christmas festival.

 

Races and Classes:

Another improvement for the class system, beside human (Norman race), there will be another races in game for the sake of players. More races mean for class, even though at this time, only the classes for the Norman race have been announced. The information about the other class still is a secret. As the announced has been given, the classes in Rok2 if based from iRO as a basis for determining the main purpose of the new classes. That mean those class below are not the maximum amount for Norman, there’s maybe more, maybe secrets are waiting to be revealed.

 

“Will this be a new class in Rok2?”   

 

Novice:

Same as iRO, this is the starting class for all Norman players. Give them a change to get used to the game, and then advance to a higher class. Basically, don’t expect too much in this class, this is the first step for you to discover a bigger World later on, therefore it’s pretty weak. After level 10, you can improve to a higher class.

Swordsman:

Frontlines soldier, a real tanker on the battlefield. With a high melee combat skill as well as defence skill, the Swordsman easily deals with higher level monster thanks to his amount of HP. Beside focus the main attack skill on one target, Aoe skill as well as range skill help swordsman can solo anywhere without a party. About the advance jobs for Swordsman, it’s still an unknown. Hopefully, as iRO, there will be another two class, one for damage dealer and another for a tanker’s path.

Recruit:

Long range attack master, the replacement of Archer in iRO. Unlike Archer using Bow, with a Damp Rifle (that makes it more like a Gunslinger), a Recruit can show their ability in both melee or range skill. The advance jobs of Recruit hasn’t been release either, in iRO, Hunter and Bard/Dancer are advanced from Archer, there’s still no information about Hunter class yet, but Bard/Dancer ability has been transfer to a new class in Rok2: Clown.

Clown:

Buff/Debuff expert. Standing alongside with Archer, that makes a huge line support for a team. Increasing stat, healing as well as using poison, a Clown can lead their team to success in PvE and even in PvP.

Thief:

As you can say, this is the most famous class used to be in iRO. In Rok2, the ability of a Thief has been increased, faster, soundless step as well as the ability to confuse enemy, Thief class can easily causing a big mayhem to disorder for a change to attack or escape. Weak as long rang attack, lacking defence ability like Swordsman, but thanks to their high Agility, that makes them become a hard target. The advance jobs for Thief, let’s hope and pray that they will bring back Assassin and Rouge :D

Enchanter: 

Another support type and this time is a real Healer. With a high healing skill and resurrect ability to bring back life. The other class can rush to the enemy without any worrying about themselves. Even though Enchanter has some holy spell to attack, this is not a damage deal class, they was born to be a Buffer. Therefore a party is the first requirement for this job. Player also wanted to bring back Priest and Monk. Priest will decrease a gap in support line when Monk can help frontlines with their magnificent melee combat skills.

Stat:

The statistics in RO2 vary significantly from the original system. When a player levels up their base level, they are given several points to increase stats of their choosing.

• STR, or Strength: Increase Melee Physical Max Damage and Melee Physical Defense.
• DEX, or Dexterity: Increase Melee Physical CRIT Chance and Melee Physical Dodge.
• CON, or Concentration: Increase Melee Physical HIT Chance, Increase Magic HIT Chance, Ranged Max Damage, and Ranged Physical CRIT Chance.
• INT, or Intelligence: Increase Ranged Physical HIT Chance, Magic Max Damage, and Magic Defense.

There is a 5th stat that can only be increased by equipment or skills.

• LUK, or Luck: Increase Melee Physical Dodge, Ranged Physical Dodge, and Magic Dodge.
