As part of a larger conversation with Gamasutra at the G* game expo in Busan, South Korea,Ragnarok Online designer Hakkyu Kim has revealed that he is working on a new title in the same vein as the original -- though the Ragnarok name is still owned by Gravity, which distributed the first title. He also revealed a second project of a more conventional nature.
"I’m working on two new projects," Kim said. "One is an MMORPG with a more basic structure, one character to control, but with some deeper, weirder stuff thrown in there. The other title is more niche. ro zeny’ll be a 2D cross 3D game in the Ragnarok style. It’ll be pretty different from other games. I’m moving in both directions."
The original Ragnarok Online was a very popular MMORPG in Korea, and one of the first Korean ro zeny to make real headway in the West, with its cute pixel graphics and intuitive playstyle.
Ragnarok Online 2, created without Kim’s influence, was not nearly as well-received, and has remained in development since its Korean open beta back in May of 2007.
"Many people asked me for this –- ’Why don’t you make another ragnarok zeny style game?’" said Kim. "But of corse I was busy making Granado Espada at the time, and maintaining that. But now that I have some time, I’m trying to do it."
"It will be more action-oriented, but still an MMORPG," he concluded. Hakkyu Kim’s company, IMC Games, most recently completed Granado Espada, known in the U.S. as Sword of the New World, which was by turns both lauded and criticized for its complexity. The game remains profitable, and has its most solid userbase in Japan. First for the job level 1-10, firebolt level 4, fireball level 5 in Ragnarok, we recomend that you level at poporings/porings/mandragora until you get firebolt lvl 4. You can now solo poporings or mandragora or head to floras at mt.mjolnir once you have this skill. Keep your distance from the flora’s as they have a ranged attack that will hurt your low hp. firebolt the floras until they die, you should be gaining very decent
ragnarok zeny here.
Then for the job level 10-21 sight 1, firewall 10, as you gain the skill fire wall
ragnarok zeny opens a whole lot of new ares to train as it acts like a barrier protecting you from enemy harm. once obtaining fw level 5 head to argos map, ( 2 north of prontera castles) use fw to protect yourself from the agriopes and kill them using your level 4 firebolt. Beware of mantis as they deal a decent amount of damage so pack some fly wings and pots for this journey.Hodes are also a nice place to level if you are sick of argos giving decent exp just fw and fb them but keep sight up as they can hide.
Last for the Job lvl 21-27 firebolt level 10, we recomend that you increase your firebolt to its maximum level of level(ragnarok zeny)10 at this stage, mainly because this will be your main offencive
ragnarok zeny and can deal out alot of damage. And you can either stay at argos/Hode or you can migrate 1 map north of argos and play around with some agriopes at this stage. Agriopes give extremely good exp at this level and if you have learnt how to play your mage decently then you can gain up to 2-3 levels an hour.

ro zenyDouble strafe improves your damage and doubles your attacks. You only put 8 because as your level increases, so does your dex. The damage of your double strafe combined with dex and your bow maybe enough to kill the monsters in just one hit. Get Owl’s Eye 3 just to unlock the Vulture’s Eye. ragnarok zeny Get level 5 Vulture Eye to increase the range and your hit. This way, you could attack monsters that are stronger than you without comprising your hp. Having the range gives you an advantage of killing the monsters before they get near you. This time, get the maximum Double Strafe because you are now dealing with stronger monsters. Then get the rest of the Owl’s Eye and Vulture’s Eye. Archer’s have low sp so casting Improve Concentration would be such a waste of sp, why not use your sp in casting double strafes. Lastly, get the Arrow Shower, it ay not help as much in leveling but this skills owns in
ro zeny.
