Ragnarok 2: The Ragnaroking with a revengeance

So... Ragnarok 2 has just hitted Steam!

Free to play, completely revamped and updated version of the Classic MMO i'm sure a lot of you know and kinda love or totally hate at this point...

At first the game was not avaliable on my region in the steam store... but out of curiosity i learned a neat trick... one of my steam friends started playing the game! I clicked his name... chose "launch game". Since i don't have the game... steams identify this and gives me the option to DOWNLOAD the game.

Lo'and behold, 4GB later, i have Ragnarok 2.

Barely scrapped the surface of this game... will get more into it later, but i wanted to share just a couple of things...

It does look and feel like classic ragnarok with a 3D, current Gen MMO feel.

Now you pick a class and a profession.

5 minutes in, in the noob region of the map, the chat was being spammed with requests of Healers for parties. So i guess the gameplay hasn't changed much.

You now also pick a profession alongside your class. I Made an Cook Archer! But you can make an Acolyte blacksmith if you want...

The first area has a pool of Baby poorings that constatly spawn so you can practice combat and clear the first few quests... it's.... kinda weird seeing a bunch of player literally curb stomp these pink bubbles that are literally called "Baby Poorings" as soon as they are born into the field.... it's a massacre!

Also, my PC is no powerhouse by any stretch of imagination... but it is also far from being a shitty PC. However, i do feel this game going a bit sluggish, even though it's not much far from what we see in every cartoony MMO out there... maybe it was because it's in beta, or because it was a player-heavy area... but buyer beware!

You auto-attack with the mouse right click. But if you are not looking AT your target, you stop attacking. Try to attack and move......

Also, Mouse with left button to turn camera, W to walk forward, Q and E to strafe side to side.

Emoticons are back, and Animations are there for roleplayers... there is a Hadouken and a Shoryuken animation, plus Rock-Paper-Scissors.

And this is my 10 minute report on Ragnarok 2. Anybody willing to give it a try?
