Ragnarok Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2002 by Gravity. While it was immensely popular in the 2000s, its Western audience has significantly declined due to age and competition from newer MMORPGs. It still retains a dedicated fanbase in some regions (notably Southeast Asia and private servers), but official server populations are now relatively small. A conservative estimate for current daily active players on official servers is around 10,000.
In the world of Rune Midgard, it was a time of strife between the Gods, Humans and demons... Battle weary from the long war's carnage, the factions entered into an uneasy truce. The truce grew into a fragile peace that lasted for a thousand years. As the memory of that great war faded into legend, the humans began to fall back into the corruption, selfishness and arrogance that they had once risen above. Breaking this time of tranquility is the sudden strange howl that tore through the boundaries dividing the Gods, Humans and Demons. Once peaceful creatures began to attack villages, and violent earthquakes ripped whole continents apart. Sinister corporations to the north engage in twisted genetic experiments and the recent discovery of a pan dimensional portal has opened up amazing new adventures. With the Ragnarok threatening to destroy Rune Midgard, adventurers are needed to step up and battle against the forces of Chaos. Join your friends in exploring the world and build your own legend in RO!
