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.
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.
RO2's WoE is different from RO1 but it is also fun.
BONUS:Check out this video by Gamespot on 10 things you should know about Ragnarok 2.
It is a great video for new players getting an overview of the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4jfc-SR13Y
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.
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...
Just wanted to let you guys know that CBT2 has started. The new User Interface is looking real good. Not everyone can log in at the moment. More information and footage to come.
Cards are coming and they aren't attached to weapons and armor like in classic Ragnarok Online.
They are attached to your character and you can switch between 5 different cards. That means you can use different equipment with the same cards, unlike RO. Different card combinations will give a specefic bonus, like card sets in RO1.
Your character customization is now done via equipments and cards and not manual stat point allocation.
There are three types of grades for each card. Bronze, Silver and Gold. Gold being the best and the rarest. Bronze cards will be fairly common and not to hard to obtain.
You can turn a number of bronze cards into a silver, and a certain number of silver cards in to a gold card.
You can also combine different bronze cards to create a mystery gold card.
There is also a collectors album, and you can try and collect all cards.
Kafra flying service
Seems like there will be a way to move quickly around the world of Ragnarok, besides the mounts.
Check out the Ragnarok dev team having fun with this new Kafra:
