Join the grind!

User Rating: 5.8 | Ragnarok Online PC
This game seemed to have a lot of potential. It had many class choices and different ways to develop. Many of the seeds needed for an excellent gaming experience. All this buildup for a game that loses that vital element necessary to hold the attention of someone older than 15 years old. It's lukewarm in the quest system and doesn't offer a lot of variety in the actual game play. You have to constantly grind out experience killing the same mobs over and over again. Then you move to the next screen where you kill the same mobs that are charged up a bit more. All in all this makes for very disappointing and boring game play. There is a very weak sense of community with the people who have been playing for awhile sit around and chat with each other and either ignore or roast the newcomers. Leveling is extremely easy but time consuming with the constant grinding of experience. I don't really recommend this game to anyone with a goal of finding a long term home on a quality RPG. You are better off with Everquest 2 or World of Warcraft if you are looking for more than a short term hack and slash home.
