To my dear friend, Xiahoudun, Whom I've lost contact 8 years ago. I just want you to know wherever you are now in the world, you gave memories I can never forget... Thinking back, my 1st time stepping into the game.. We were just novices who became thieves.. We travelled to Payon from Morroc. We went places together... You were my 1st online friend and a great one too. If you ever see this message, know that I'm shaner. -That guy who couldn't save you from that chonchon. :') Take care~
I had a wizard friend who was REALLY REALLY good and we leveled up together in our 90's back when it was just 2-2. I was a priest and I could never play with out him because no one else could match our synergy. Chaos Server. Farming Glast Heim level 2 for cards and Clock Tower for that armor level up ore
겨울에 닫혔던 창문을 열고 물색 하늘 만큼 날 사랑한다 했어 그때로 돌아가고 싶지만 너무 늦어버린걸까 새처럼 멀리 날아간 날부터 세상은 내게 텅 빈 보석상자 같아 이제는 다시 볼 수 없지만 자꾸만 열어 보고는 하지 언젠가 처음 네 입술을 느꼈던 어느 작은 숲 속에 누워 울다가 잠이 들면은 널 만날 수 있을까 꿈속에서 숨쉬는 그대 잠에서 깨어 내 품에 안긴 채 입맞춤 하네 눈을 떠도 보이는 모습 그리워도 이제는 너를 잊기로 했네 . . . 언젠가 처음 네 입술을 느꼈던 어느 작은 숲 속에 누워 울다가 잠이 들면은 널 만날 수 있을까 꿈속에서 숨쉬는 그대 잠에서 깨어 내 품에 안긴 채 입맞춤 하네 눈을 떠도 보이는 모습 그리워도 이제는 너를 느낄 수 있네 Open the windows that were closed in winter Said you love me as much as the blue sky I want to go back to that time Is it too late From the day I flew away like a bird The world is like an empty jewel box to me I can't see you again now I keep trying to open it One day I felt your lips for the first time lying in a small forest If I fall asleep while crying, will I be able to meet you? you who breathe in my dreams You wake up and kiss me in your arms I can see it even with my eyes open Even if I miss you, I decided to forget you now . . . One day I felt your lips for the first time lying in a small forest If I fall asleep while crying, will I be able to meet you? you who breathe in my dreams You wake up and kiss me in your arms I can see it even with my eyes open Even if I miss you, I can feel you now
good friends in RO will be remembered forever, even if they are random people you met while playing. be nice to people wherever you are, he / she might be the priest that heals you all the time, the knight that tank for you, the hunter that deals the most damage with you, the blacksmith that made your first +10 elemental weapon and many others. coz we've been brothers and sisters once, that moment will come again one day :)
Damn I feel sad like a crazy :'( Ragnarok is not about a game Thats the family inside :'( Thats life inside... Thats friendship may u never found in real live... People may not know how about the feeling play this game past...
Ebenk Ebenk still remember first day in ragnarok people are everywhere in alberta. i was like dang all these people, little do i know its just the corner of the world.
겨울에 닫혔던 창문을 열고 물색 하늘만큼 날 사랑한다 했어 그때로 돌아가고 싶지만 이미 늦어버린걸까 새처럼 멀리 날아간 날부터 세상은 내게 텅빈 보석상자 같아 이제는 다시볼수 없지만 자꾸만 열어보고는 하지 언젠가 처음 네 입술을 느꼈던 어느 작은 숲속에 누워 울다가 잠이 들면은 널 만날 수 있을까 꿈속에서 숨쉬는 그대 잠에서 깨어 내품에 안긴채 입맞춤 하네 눈을 떠도 보이는 모습 그리워도 이제는 널잊기로 했네 언젠가 처음 네 입술을 느꼈던 어느 작은 숲속에 누워 울다가 잠이 들면은 널 만날 수 있을까 꿈속에서 숨쉬는 그대 잠에서 깨어 내품에 안긴채 입맞춤 하네 눈을 떠도 보이는 모습 그리워도 이제는 너를 느낄수 있네
The saddest part is, we could never go back to the old Ragnarok days pre-renewal. - How people help each other is a necessity in the game - When BOTs weren't even exist so you have to work very hard to level up - Very less information on the internet so you have to ask people in the game and most people with experience will help - Where all cities were crowded and lots of people just sitting and chat on the street, even outside of prontera was crowded - When you can make real friends in the game - Form parties filled with 1st jobs for leveling or 2nd jobs for killing MVPs - When Morroc was still normal and a lot of vendings there - When warp portals from acolyte/priest could be a help or a prank for players - When you just chilling on a certain places with your favorite BGM just because you can - etc so many things to cherish Now we can't even experience that again even if you try to play RO again, Private Servers or not, everybody are using bots, no communication at all, trying to get the best equipment because their mindsets are locked to PvP and WoE only. But well, this game has made my childhood and can't hate/forget this game no matter what, my first MMORPG and will always remember everything I did in this game and how I had very much fun everyday playing this game. Thankyou Ragnarok Online, eventhough I played a lot of MMORPG after this game, it's still the best MMORPG ever in my whole gaming life, memories :)
I started RO when It was on open-beta service in Korea. It was really cold winter, 2001. I was middle school student at that time, but now I graduate university.... I think I'll never get a chance to play such a emotional-connected game ever in my life. 여기 이렇게 많은 외국분들도 라그나로크를 추억하고 있다니 놀랍네요. 그 때가 너무 그립습니다...ㅠㅠ 돌아와 내 어린 시절..돌아와 라그나로크ㅠㅠ
Yes! Ragnarok M was finally released in here and holy crap is it fun to be back! We're still to see if it will be as good as back then but hey, it's been a while, so much has changed.
Apa cuma ane yang nyari lagu ini setelah download ragnarok open beta... Main2 ke kota prontera... Setelah 12 tahun ga kesana.. Skrg dah punya 2 anak...
I tried Ragnarok but never really played it, because I prefer the Counterstrike and DOTA, but I always hear the Theme of Prontera from other players on the computer shop and it brings nostalgia to me. Now listening to the song while reading the comments made me shed tears, Raganarok is one of a kind as well as this song, the stories of nostalgia and friendship is very heart warming, something that we will never experience again.
I can't replace ragnarok with any online games You know ragnarok is like a real family inside If your all alone,you can just play ragnarok and imagine like its your real life Every time i hear this song,i remember some family and friends not just in ragnarok, but in real life too. I miss the girl i married in ragnarok I wanna pass this game to my son,grandson and so on I WISH RAGNAROK REMAINS FOREVER!!!!!! LONG LIVE RAGNAROK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree. My friends stopped playing 10 years ago because they couldn't afford the game's fee. I continued to play for a little while, and found the feeling you talked about. Then, I quit since there was no point to wander such a big world alone. Now in 2019, we all returned to RO:M. :D Happy family reunion!
Сейчас 2024 год, но я всё ещё с теплотой вспоминаю эту игру. Самые приятные и радостные воспоминания связаны именно с ней. Я до сих пор общаюсь с людьми, с которыми мы начинали играть в неё более 10 лет назад.
A game that got many good people. When i was a novice i ask people where to change job to swordsman/archer then swordsman/archer to knight/hunter they lead the way even tho it's far away... and when you beg to high lvl person they'll give you zeny or items... now in MMORPG's they'll ignore you like you're air =/ i really miss this game... i played it since 2004-2008 now i'm 24yrs old and when i listen to BGM's of RO i feel like want to cry and oh i'm not young anymore i wish i can go back to old days where sometimes i dont eat in school just to save money to play RO... no worries and responsibilities just enjoying the game =/ really miss it :'(
The priests, they resurrect you and give you buffs. They offer teleport service but don't mind players who don't have zeny jumping in as long as the customer got in. if I have an Yggdrassil leaf and someone ask for resurrection I'd do it as a way of paying forward. Great times. Chat is fun. Players interact actively.
people were so kind back then, because the knowledge of the game is by exploring the game itself, not by watching youtube or some website (blog, forum, etc)
this literally brought me into tears because of the memories it gave me back when i played this with my gradeschool friends...i remember we'd always meet up in prontera, we have our own "tambayan" area there and we'd help each other level up...i also remember all the portal sounds, people logging in and out sounds, and even people spamming hammerfall, storm gust and other skills just for fun in prontera...sigh, how i wish to go back to those days and to simply just enjoy playing the game... :(

I was only 5 years old when RO was released and by the time I knew how to operate a PC, RO was already gone so I never had the chance to play it. When I started playing the mobile version and joined a guild, I was shocked to know that most of the players are waaaaay older than me, some of them were in their 40's! I found a very friendly guild (Titania, I love you!), and we bonded together outside the game too, and even celebrated our guild leader's wedding (she married the war commander and they had a Ragnarok themed wedding!) Now I understand why all those older players play ROM despite their age and commitment -- it's like a throwback to their younger days. I'm glad I still got the chance to play ROM and experience the great bond and friendships. Been playing ROM since the first release on 2018 and still going, 3 years and counting. It'll forever be my favorite game. Hoping that I'll come back to this comment when I'm 40 XD Hacchan, The Saint that aspers everyone.
I think many of us share the same experience and joy of RO. I've met some of my best friends on RO and actually ended up meeting some of them in real life. Two of my RO friends in real life actually got married and living happily. I think game developers nowadays are pushing more for graphics as oppose to gameplay and interaction. It is rather a shame since the RO experience was more than a game, it was another life.
Acerski Not since... I forget what update. But now there's a novice training ground. Even on the official 1/1/1 server, that'll level you at least enough to achieve your first job change. Not only that, it gives you the ability to literally pick which city you 'start' in.
Spend most of my childhood playing this game, started when i was 7, now i'm 20 and it has been two years since i've last played this game. Listening to this song makes me smile alot.
The devastating thing is, We would never be able to have this kind of enjoyment that We used to have back at old golden days of Ragnarok. - When Morroc was still a descent and alive city! You could find many vendors in it. - When all cities were crowded and many people would just chill and chat on the street. Heck, even outside of Prontera was crowded! - When there were very few informations on the internet, so players asked other players and many experienced people were willing to help. - When parties would be formed and filled with 1st level jobs players for leveling up or 2nd level jobs players for hunting MVPs. - When people were helping each other and was one of the cores and excitements of the game itself. - When BOTs were not even present, so hard work was the only way for you to advance in Ragnarok. - When a warp portal made by Acolytes or Priests could either be a great help or an epic joke. - When you could just spend time chilling out with your friends at certain place because you and your friends love the view, ambience, and BGM. - When this was the game that you could really make real friends. - And countless other happy memories. Nowadays, the few experiences mentioned above are practically gone no matter where you play Ragnarok, either private servers or not. Everyone is using bots, zero communications at all. Everyone is just busy hustling to get the items or equipments with only PVP or WOE in their minds. This game was really a major part of happy days and sad days of my childhood. I will always remember this game, the excitement I felt even as early as i logged into the game. Though I played all other RPG or MMORPG game, Ragnarok is easily one of the best and most memorable game for me. THANK YOU RAGNAROK for all the memories.
I shed so many tears over the pieces of heart that I scattered all over Ruin Midgard, but it is gone, time has changed, people has changed... I wish we can meet again, but its all gone now, everything is gone. But still I can't help it, I miss the past and cry like a child :.(
Many of my friends asked me why I keep playing RO since there's a lot of new MMORPG game with a better graphics. IDK how to ans them.. since RO is my first and only MMORPG that I play and I'm still playing it til today. It doesn't matter what the graphic is. It's all about the memories inside this game. I was 14 when I tried this and now I'm 29 and still playing it. No matter how many times I tried to quit it within 2 or 3 months I still keep coming back and playing it. RO is not about how cool the graphic is. But the content and everything in game even this theme.. actually not just this. I think all the song in this game are really awesome. Friendship, Quest, many many many more That why this game is the best of all time. And I cry almost everytime I listen to Geffen/Payon and Prontera theme.
Ahhh proud to being Korean and yes R.O was my childhood. As Korean high school students, I always had a certain pressure from parents to study all the times even on vacation. Like on summer i didn't go school but I had to go for library(kinda fancy one so I payed monthly) However, I instead go PC room for whole day 8am-6pm. Playing R.O. My grade was not okay after all of this times spending there but I earned family, friends in R.O. We shared our private phone number and kept in touch. Miss so much that moment.
I never played Ragnarok, until 2021 finally I played this game Ragnarok ( Rox ), and I can feel how this singer and songwriter conveys a deep message. I admit this is a great work.
The best moment I had with RO was almost 15 years ago already. We were all strangers and I was just playing alone. I walked past Morroc towards the desert and found a group of people sitting down at the exit chatting so I went to chat with them. We became friends. They helped me with the game, gave me some free stuffs, helped me forge weapons etc. The best part was.... they actually lent me, a complete stranger, Magestic Goat from MVP Baphoment. Such kind folks...

This game is gone but it will be forever and dearly remembered. The day I picked up the disc for this game at $2 in a book store, my life changed. Few of the MMOs these days came anywhere close to Ragnarok Online in my humble opinion. RO filled my life with magical moments and nostalgic memories, I would go as far to say it even touched my soul. Those days spent sitting around and chatting with friends, leveling together and participating in guild wars was gold. May all our precious RO friends from around the world reminisce about this game from time to time, and all the best IRL.
God.. the memories. I was the town's blacksmith and everyone came to me for elemental swords. I was so happy and made so many friends in the streets of prontera. *manly tear*
Ragnarok is simply the best MMORPG of all time. The best graphics in its time, best gameplay, etc. And who doesn't love the BGMs? From the login page, this game gives you the best bgm ever! We need this game back!
how about playing on android :) come join us on google play look for infamy RO well balanced server plenty of events and friendly GM's and Players hope to see you
MMJ Printech Really? Woah. Cool!! But the thing is, I don't have any Android devices.. I tried to play it on Mac, but there were extremely few players, but the nostalgia of killing porings is just overwhelming! Lol..
Gents sorry for supah late response Yulian yes you can but for much better game experience a higher will. ichiroJP I tried in mac but I am having issue haha. Would be awesome to see you guys online.
I felt I'm still young as age as 18 years old when I first Play Ragnarok. Listening the Prontera music makes me feel relaxed and enjoying the game of life. Thanks with this memories..Playing the game 8 hrs a day..sometimes playing at night from 10pm to 6am in a day to the next day..hehehe..
Ragnarok, my 1st online game back in 2004~ Ahh was just reminiscing the good ol' memories.. How I got my first online couple, how I was so gullible and got scammed multiple times, how I met tons of good people.. I made a lot of friends in ERO.. I miss them so much, I wanna know how they're all doing right now but sad that I lost all contacts T__T
all the memories are floating in my head. this is truly the first and only online game i played where i don't thrive for the best. this is the online game i played for fun. i found love, happiness, friends, and family. this is not a game where i play as a gamer, but as simply as a human-being, i feel like i'm crying right now.
Goddammit the nostalgia and goosebumps all hitting me lovingly at the same time. God how I miss my teenage years playing with friends and some rando online players that helping me level up my thief.
i remember this game very well, where i stay all night not to farm or quest, but enjoy the music and chat with new friend. played this game at 11 years old. best mmorpg ever
playing this game around 2006- 2009 there are so many memories and friend from here this is my first online games and that's my first time go to internet cafe maybe some people from indonesia said "Warnet" it's so nostalgic to play this theme song, anyway i love payon theme song too. hahah
Tiba2 ketemu sama orang yang main RO juga di lingkungan kerja, rasanya nostalgic banget. Sekarang 30 tahun dulu pertama main pas 8 atau 9 tahun. Gila nih game emg best game ever.
