What is the point of Ragnarok Online?
What is the goal?
What is the story behind the name?
These are the answers I have received/found:
This game is SUPPOSED to have no goal, and it's awesome this way.
It's about getting your own personal goal, this gives you FREEDOM in playing.
For some these goals are WoE and PvP
For other these goals are MvP's
For some others it's just the fun while leveling and collecting anything small.
Everyone in RO has an own, personal goal.
^ I agree with this 100%. RO's story-line is nonexistent because it leaves the player's mind open instead of closed on a linear pathway. I did not understand this before but now I do. That is what separates RO from other games such as WoW and Maplestory and others.
I found this the other day.
RO sucks if you play alone. That's true for many MMOs. It is worse in RO's case, because the game is what you make it.
I ask again:
What is RO about then? It's got no storyline and is supposed to be about kawaii-ness and doing what you want. If you can't express yourself more then you're just another duplicate running around aimlessly doing nothing. Is that what RO is?
Does it need to be about something?
That's an interesting answer.
If RO isn't about something, then "it is what you make it".
If it's what you make it, then it should be more about self expression.
Without self expression, you're just another slice from the cookie cutter.
--------------
I wanted to ask what you guys think RO is about.
What is your goal?
What will you do when you reach 150?
What will you do as you level to 150?
Also I would like to say that I completely support opening a lot more cosmetic additions to the game other than a new headgear or back item. More hairstyles (and revamp the old if possible), more sprite costume color options, and more skin tones. Eye color doesn't bother me much and I don't think that it would look that great with the graphics of RO.
If this is a game where you're fixated upon appearances, which it somewhat is, then something like this should come about. More options to stand out and express yourself in this game all about you. Doesn't that sound about right?
And Gravity would make a good bit off of this as well.
Unlike the costume tab /fail.
