Like most other MMORPGs. Average graphics. Nice gameplay. Tons of customizability and yet easy to manage.

User Rating: 7.5 | Ragnarok Online PC
After I installed the game from a free CD (which came packaged with a motherboard as far as I remember) and launched it for the first time, it started downloading patches automatically (since the game was released in 2004 in India). At first I thought that it's actually smart. Then I realized that it would take a few hours to download all the patches released in last 2 years at my nets connection. Still the wait was worth it. I could guess that most patches were added and removed from time to time based on the season and mood. For example, some Christmas scenario was added when its Christmas and so on. So the game is ever-changing and always new.

The game comes with a very handy chat facility. You can talk with anyone you want unless he/she blocks you out. But most of the non-serious players (who are not there to kill monsters or level up) abuse language and kill time by irritating others. I would have mentioned one such incident here but I am afraid that it might be disturbing to those precious few people who read my reviews. This fact alone is sufficient to get the game a 'Teen' rating from ESRB.

You can also team up and hunt together. The distribution of experience in team may be decided by the spread and category of team members. The game also sports PVP arena, guild system and guild matches.

Lately, I feel that it's servers have been plagued a lot by bots.
