What is Ragnarok Online 2?

As wiki said. . .

Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of the World (Korean:라그나로크 온라인 2: The Gate Of The World; alternatively subtitled Epic of the Light) is an MMORPG created by Gravity Corp. of South Korea and is the sequel to the popular MMORPG, Ragnarok Online. Most of the game's universe is based on Norse mythology. The soundtrack will be produced by Yoko Kanno, well known for her work in Cowboy Bebop and other anime series.



As ragnarok-tale tells. . .

Ragnarok Online II: The Gate of the World is the long-awaited sequel to the popular Ragnarok Online. Both games are developed by Gravity Corp, a Korean-based company with branches in the United States and other countries around the world.

The game's story and name are based on Norse mythology; Ragnarok being the battle at the end of the world. Major figures of Norse mythology (such as the gods Odin and Loki) are prominent within the game, and many of the towns and locations make references to the mythology. Despite this, the story in the game is somewhat lacking.

Ragnarok Online has been a popular MMORPG for several years now, its cute 2D characters rendered in a 3D world being a different flavour amongst the sea of generic MMOs. Its unique game style and graphics have been a major drawing card for many players, although the game's constant grind mentality left more to be desired. Features such as the War of Emperium have been hugely popular with players, where in frantic guild versus guild battles, players attempt to take over a castle in order to gain access to special dungeons and treasure. Over the course of the years, the game has seen new classes, towns and maps added, along with added challenges in the form of dungeons and boss monsters (known in Ragnarok Online as MvPs).

After four years of Ragnarok Online, the folks at Gravity Corp unveiled the sequel to their popular MMO at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2005. Boasting fully integrated 3D graphics, new races, classes and gameplay, the sequel expects to begin closed Korean beta in late 2006.
