Ragnarok Online is an MMORPG based on the Korean manhwa by Myung-Jin. It is developed by Gravity Interactive and has gone through numerous updates and iterations, including the recent Renewal servers and Ragnarok Transendance.
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!
