Most pay to play games out there now adays offer something more than just corny cartoon graphics, and a weird...half assed storyline. I admit i was addicted to Ragnarok Online for about...1 year or so, played iRO and the likes, but then i found more. I still keep in touch with my RO side, but it's just kind of cheesy now. You realize there are other - BETTER games out there. Games like world of warcraft, everquest II, and City of Heroes? You may not think about it, but World of warcraft has things that ragnarok online doesn't. Think about it like this. More people, 2 dollars more to pay a month. Better graphics, better servers, better weapons, Harder monsters, you can actually cuss, the people there are actually somewhat intelligent, and there <u>is</u> a storyline. Yeah, i know, intimidating, isn't it. If you compare it with everquest II, there is no match. Games like FFXI are horrible, because it's no longer fun, it's like a job at a cubicle. I hate that freakin' game...>_>; Yes, i played it, and i got good, but it was so incredibly stupid, but that's another tangent for another time. Again, people think that RO is a good game, i'm not bashing it. But if you compare it with the Games out today? It's not much of a competition.
