What happened?

bots
renewal
laggy official servers
pinoys
rcx
autopot

All that is alive dies.

All great empires fall.

All that is perfect rots.

Time happened, Anon. When You have to continously inject new content Otherwise a game will die out, It is bound to Eventually have a quality decrease.

Also, unlike wow players, ragnarok players had the self respect to quit and let the game die after It "jumped the shark"

Hmmmm.

Renewal came out. When Renewal came out, it was a mess. It wasn't RO, it was some rushed "WoW clone" that wasn't even a clone. Pre-Renewal didn't have any new content, either, so it died out.

That is that new private server, right? How well is it going? What exactly was 11.3?

I play Ragnarok for the monster girls and hime cuts.

I'm pretty sure she shows up at some point in the game though. One of them, anyways.

This post made me go try it with the DS emu that can run at higher resolutions and the results are quite nice. The spritework is still there, intact from the MMO, although the textures and probably models were clearly compromised. The camera is also way too zoomed in, but that's fine.
So yeah, if you have a current gen overclocked i7 you can enjoy this game at 1024 x 768 without too much slowdown.

>>324315539
Devs stopped associating with being a spiritual successor to RO

And infact the game is nothing like RO. Half instanced content, grinding to 700 without siege, P2W shop

No wait, there is one thing that shares with RO
The Korean beta is absolutely infested with bots and you can hack custom spells too, so in that regard it was an improvement.

I have no idea why this picture exists, but I love that piece of artwork. They had some good artists for the original artwork.
The NA version would use the shittiest fucking fanart and inject it into the game in the loading screens, though.

It was cute, but yeah it's kind of awful.
What were they thinking designing a game completely around quests and then just stop offering quests for no reason? More of the game should've been like the chapel early on where you had lot of players who could just casually team up to mow down hundreds of monsters and the spawn rates were almost high enough to support it. Instead it's map after map of just enough monsters to finish your quest and if you ever see another player you're desperately fighting to finish your quest before they can.
And the classes are unbalanced as shit. Taking 3 ranks in quarrel shooter gives you nearly indentical skills to the base archer class, plus the shield and stone shot. When istead you can use that time to get hunter for PvP/world boss hunting or ranger/sapper to actually deal damage and hit multiple enemies without 2 minutes of downtime.

>>324309962
THIS GAME GIVES ME THE MOST NOSTALGIA FEELS
I MISS MY GUILDMATES SO MUCH

>>324309962
The audience shift demanded that MMOs with MMO elements should die, because they are too much of a bother to play.

MMOs then became lobby multiplayer games in disguise.

Even if you brought back RO with a faithful HD remake or some shit, it still wouldn't work out today because people have changed.

What made RO good, anyways? Every time I come back to it I can't even get to 90 before quitting. It's so dull.

>>324324991
Maybe? I have a 2nd gen laptop i7 and it doesn't run 60 fps, not even at x2 native res. It only works with frame skipping.
Maybe you'll have better luck. The emulator is called Desmume x432r.

>>324320012
I've considered downloading it onto my hacked PSP. I'm assuming the gameplay will be what you would expect but I'm not interested in reading all the dialogue.

>>324309962
Cash shop happened.

>>324328447
The community, probably. I think a lot of people were motivated to progress just so they could join a guild, participate in WoE, join parties to kill MVP's, help others, and just become rich and strong.

None of that really matters now since RO is kind of dead.

Why not use PPSSPP though? I beleive game is full 3D. Hell, even a game with 2d sprites on 3d backgrounds like Ragnarok DS looks greatly enhaced, see >>324322868

>>324328447
At the time MMOs were a heavy grind. I spent a lot of time enjoying the game's world, economy, and community. I started immediately after iRO came back from beta and stuck around until 2012. I didn't have any issues with the cash shop because it brought more people into the game.

Personally the most fun I had was working with a friend on a website that collected market data: ragnastats. Eventually she made a group of bots that would find spam bots and teleport them into other maps. Meeting people in the game that had interests that put your own fun into the game was something that made it really special.

>>324330092
I suppose I could ask the same question - why not just play it on my handheld instead of sitting at my computer. Sometimes my bitch wants to sit on the couch with me.

I'll give it a shot and see how I feel about it.

>>324330609
Because it's an inferior experience? Why would you play a game in 272p when you can play it at a much higher resolution?

So Anon, what do you think would kindle this generation's teenagers love for MMORPGs?

>>324339935
MOBA

>>324339214

It had a month opem beta, but... It didnt felt the same. Only one City, the map progression, even though It is a grid, there is a very defined real path, because the other areas are 100 levels above you.

Boss and enemy variety is "small"

Add many more cities, make the way less linear so the map fells like a grid, add many, many more optional areas people can explore if they will/find It.

Hell, I played RO for so many years and I dont know 50% of the game

>>324339976
I just realized I have played with way more people in MOBAs than in RPGs but I never actually cared about chatting with them as in the latter.

>>324339935
Nothing. On the gameplay side it would be too grindy for most, and on the social side why would they play pretend on a game when they can play pretend on Facebook?

No hand holding, little to no "player story" make the world building Tell its tale, Not an npc claimming you are the chosen one (like dark souls 1 story telling, at least for the first half). Maybe not even server automated functions. Seriously, let god sort them out, like in EVE.

Also no more locked combat and skill rotation. The action mmorpgs are a step on the right direction, but normally, normal attacks are still useless and you still have a rotation, AND netcode and hitbox sucks ass (case in point, Dragon nest and vindicus)

Also dont make it instanced.

I had an ideia I think is interesting for an mmo, but odd.

Like, a mix between mobas short matchs and the depth of an mmo. Think of an server that resets every few days, reaching the cap is super easy if not useless, you have hundreds of possible builds and Jobs that May or May not be randomized. Your job is to form an alliance or join one, and fight your way to victory, managing resources, forging items, training and fighting in a server wide permanent WoE.

>>324309962
People lost interest. The original devs fell off and it was built upon by people who didn't understand what the game was meant to be.

The community has been fractured for a long time, primarily due to "private servers".

Tech improvements made a 10+ year old 2.5d pixel environment look awful in comparison

Better MMOs came out, with a streamlined significantly more populated experience.

Secondmost fun I had with the game was learning how to firewall properly in CT. It doesn't work too well anymore, with ranged enemy skills, vfw being busted, and a host of other issues.
>random portal
I remember before they fixed Lutie, you could portal people into a pen where they couldn't escape. Vendors would sell fwings for ridiculous prices. Some of the most fun I had in renewal was portaling people who were just sitting around by precasting the portal nearby and having a friend push them into it. One day, we sent around a hundred people outside of prontera to the shadow realm just for kicks.

Breaking essential game mechanics (vfw) completely ruined the game for me. Not to mention, soloing is pretty awful when every 3rd job has a fullscreen aoe clear. Yawn.
