Xenogears would be the closest graphical example I can think of. 3-D environments with 2D sprite avatars work quite well, both on paper and in practice. Now that the month is up, I realize that popularity isn't always an indicator of a quality gaming experience.įor starters, the graphics are quite dynamic for the game which has been billed as an "Anime-themed" MMORPG. I figured that I would stick with the game for a month to see if it coming out of beta had changed anything. Soon after this latest period, on a week's notice, players were informed that the game was going P2P (Pay to play) again. This was a change of pace from the last free testing period, where the game got no more than three thousand users, distributed over two servers. During the free open Beta test period, over ten thousand people logged on the game daily. Made by Korean developer Gravity, this MMORPG continues the trend of foreign companies making extremely popular online games of late.
Regardless of the debate, North American gamers now have the chance to play Ragnarok Online, a recently released hack and slash style MMORPG based on a relatively obscure series of Manga drawn by Myoujin Lee. Typically isometric 3/4 top down games with real time battle systems, it's been argued time and time again in the RPG community whether or not these games are in fact RPGs. It's been a productive few years for 'hack and slash' RPGs. Merchants doing what they do best in RO: Scamming.
