The gate of the World

For those who wonder who are the characters in the header of this blog, this entry is gonna kind of explain about its origins and its gonna be dedicated to that.

This character is from a online game which name is Ragnarok Online II.
For years I have played Ragnarok Online (the 1, not the 2), but, when RO2 came out I kinda wanted to play, to see if it was as good as the 1st one. So, after some time passed and the creation of the accounts was available to other people who were not from Korea.

Since the game is Korean, it was not supposed to be played by people from other countries, but as you know, there are a lot of people who find a way to play. I just had to wait for someone to find a way, and that's it, soon enough I had a account, so I just downloaded the official client, installed it, and started to play.

For my surprise, it has nothing to do with the first game, it was totally different, a completely 3D world just like WoW or Lineage 2, etc. Even the gameplay was very much the same as Lineage 2.


I loved the game in general, I mean, the graphics are amazing and you don't really need a super computer to run it decently, it has a good soundtrack, even the people were good in those times.

But what I loved the most, was the emoticons, the facial expressions the character make everytime you use an emoticon, its like, each emoticon is really an emotion for the character, making it more... alive if I can say.


But it's not the only cool thing about the game, the fact that the headgears that you buy or get appears on the character, and the same goes for the clothes, so everytime you buy a new cloth (shirt, pats, gloves, boots, etc) they change for the one you actually bought, as you can see on the pictures above, how the clothing changed.
I have to say that I was used to RO1, where only the headgear changed, the clothes was the same for everyone, the only thing that changed was the color, that's why it was something new for me, and for other people that played with me RO1 and then RO2 lol.

Another thing that for me was awesome, was the scenery, I mean, almost every place was beautiful, and the game had the possibility to take screenshots, so, you could make "artistic" shots from inside the game.
Sometimes I tried doing that lol, it was kinda fun.

Some fun I had tooking a lot of screenshots that I liked.
Oh, and what did I do inside the game besides taking pictures?, well, mainly the mechanic of the game is to kill monsters or do quests to level up and be stronger each time. As you level up, you can be a swordman, magician, clown, thief or recruit. My favorite is magician, because magic just rocks.

Besides that, well, getting hats and equip to be stronger, and developing a strategy about what to kill or which quests to do, and doing party with other people to kill boss monsters that can't be killed by just one person. Its pretty interesting.

About the monsters, well, there are everything, from cute jello-like monsters called porings, to strange creepy creatures, and even some humans are monsters in there.

I think that Ragnarok Online II (and 1) are very good games that allow you do lots of things, but the more important is that you can be in a world that you create by yourself, looking at everything with a different point of view, and even create a story about yourself / your character in there.
If you don't like MMORPG games (online games) until now, I really recommend you to try this one, you'll never regret it, besides, you don't really have something to lose trying it, right? C:
