After its development last 2008, Gravity Interactive has launched Renewal, the newest update to International Ragnarok Online (iRO).
The said Renewal was released on Yggdrasil, iRO's newest server last October 7 and released on Ymir last October 15.
This time around players will have an option to create more powerful characters with the increase of Base Job Level to 150 and the introduction of 3rd classes; from the Rune Casting Rune Knight to the God of Battle the Sura, players are bound to find ways to reinvent the way the game is played. The in-game interface has received major enhancements to both provide more information to the player and still allow greater immersion into Ragnarok Online.
Gravity Company, a South Korean online game company signed a contract to get a 50.8 percent capital in Barunson Interactive for 11.69 billion that is equivalent to $10.2 million. The company is known for developing and publishing popular free-to-play MMORPG Ragnarok Online Barunson Interactive, from South Korea, has created two free-to-play MMORPGs in 2003. The 2 games are Dragonica Online and Dragonraja (beta version). Dragonica Online is available to play in 10 different countries, including Japan, China, and Europe. THQ Ice, a joint venture of THQ and I.C.E. Entertainment, made Dragonica Online available in North America last October.
The recent version of Ragnarok Online 2: Legend of the Second has many modifications. The features like weapon leveling system and multi-class system had failed and will be deleted this time. This means that the developers had admitted their failure. In Ragnarok Online, 2 players may upgrade their weapons constantly wherein the weapons can be changed to guns or wands, and can be more powerful for every upgrade. Weapon levelling is a failure because the gamers feel bored, the levelling of the weapon only happens when their character levels up.
