Check out this upcoming game from the father of Ragnarok 1 - Tree of Savior

This looks like a very awesome game, in the classic style of Ragnarok Online in a modern take. It has several new jobs / classes, in fact it has a lot of new and exciting classes. I will will keep an eye out on this game and I can't wait to try it out when it enters alpha or beta in Korea. Hopefully I can get in somehow.

Ragnarok Online 2 closing in Korea next month

So it isn't going too well for RO2 and it will close down. Gravity have announced that it will be taking the Ragnarok Online 2 servers offline in Korea. What this means for other regions we don't know, but it is probably not good, that the main developer is most likely stopping the development.

The War of Emperium is a guild versus guild siege battle with the purpose of taking over Pron Fortress and reaping the rewards that come with it. Your fellow guild members are your battle allies, while members of other guilds are your enemies. All the guilds participating will have to compete with each other and attack Pron Fortress.

The people over at ro2legend.ru have dug out some stuff. There is a new story cinematic, and new monsters. It's nice to see some familiar monsters from RO1, and the animations are really cool.

RO2 Lore

A little background story video by Gravity, and below translation by Sepia:



Freyja was once a beautiful and kind goddess who loved all life. But because of her beloved Odin's betrayal, she became the goddess of destruction, burning with revenge. To destroy everything that Odin created, she began the great catastrophe, later to be called the "Day of Despair".

When Midgard fell into the brink of extinction, young heroes rose to save the land. Thanks to their endless courage and wisdom, Freyja was sealed and Midgard found peace once again.

A long time passed and the world became as it was before. In the age where the Day of Despair and Freyja both became merely legends, the official successor of the Rune-Midgart's royal family, Ignarts Gaebolg, constructs a new Rune-Midgarts kingdom.

The peaceful days continued, but one day, at the Armin ridge, near the Kingdom's capital Prontera, a dimensional gap appeared, emitting strange energy that changed the environment.

After great effort, the Kingdom's magicians were able to seal it. The Kingdom decided that there was a deep connection between the incidents all over the land and the dimensional gap, and created a special investigation team to further investigate.

Recruitment notices were announced all over the land. After reading the announcement, adventurers from all over the land began to gather in Prontera with their own dreams and ambitions...
