Well I'm probably the slowest person to notice this game on earth lol...
Either way, I watched a livestream of someone playing this game, (Dyrus stream, was playing some private server) and I checked it out, and was shocked to realize it was Ragnarok Online, that game I always knew the name of but had never played. So after some research, I realize I could just play the original now as free to play. Great. So I figured I'll ask here lol, is playing this game still lively and worth diving into (I never play a game just a little, it's for a long time or not at all...) and if it is, is the free to play server a solid place to play? Is the in game economy still strong, I mean, these forums seem to have some life in them, but I have no idea what to expect.
Also is there any sorts of catch I don't notice here? Free to play usually means pay to win to -some- degree, but tbh, I can't really spend $$ on gaming too much right now. Is there any reason people play private servers instead, when the original is still available?
Anyway beyond that, if I do play this what class should I choose to do the whole AFK farm all day thing lol. What will I need to know to not be a total noob?
Sorry if this isn't the proper place, just thought I'd check in on these forums and see if theres any buzz here for an old game.
Thanks for your time lol
