After several months of beta testing, Ragnarok Online 2 (RO2) from Korea-based Gravity will finally enter its open beta in South Korea on February 22nd, 2012!
After years of development, Ragnarok Online 2 has been gone through many beta tests and the final test was conducted on Dec. 26 last year, which was well received by many players. Therefore, the official decided to begin its open beta and those eager fans who want to take a hands-on can cheer up for the upcoming beta.
Ragnarok Online 2, which emphasizes its relationship with Ragnarok Online, will enable players to travel around a fantasy world as bright as the one presented by Ragnarok Online, and even its maps, monsters and NPCs etc. will make enthusiasts feel familiar. Additionally, the content upgraded from Ragnarok Online's key features, as well as some other creative elements will be detailed in Ragnarok Online 2, too.
At G-Star 2011, Gravity disclosed that Ragnarok Online 2 has been licensed to 10 countries, and the localization work can start at any time. Ragnarok Online 2 was expected to enter certain overseas markets in 2014.
Hmmm, to be honest i really like the character art design in Ragnarok 2, it looks more anime-realistic verse Lime Odyssey's character art design. and the stylization of the characters in Ro2 are more up my ally.
Since Gravity has it's own North American publishing branch we may see Ro2 in North America sooner then 2014, well, i hope anyway.
unfortunately 2014 is a long was off, and imo a game like that should be released now, since it seems to pale a bit in the eye of the other up and coming mmo's. I love the artwork myself but the game itself looks like it will be too dated by time it releases, and we aint getting any younger :P
hope it will come to english fast.i think i will like this game heh

No we did not make any guild there from this network.

Don't expect much from Asiasoft, hahaha. You know how I feel about our SEA regional hosts; they'd probably give Frogster a run for their money in terms of quality of service.
Seems to play like Eden Eternal and other similar WoW-esque knockoffs. Less responsive controls, though that may be attributed to the servers being apparently located in Beijing.
Last day of CBT, I'm pretty certain the game will bomb and be populated by people who can't afford to play anything better. Really does feel like the generic korean grinder this.
