Not 'dead' dead, but it's population has dwindled to the point where private servers are making more money off of it, i think lol

Do you have the willpower to delete YOUR wow toons? XD

Unfortunately, private servers hit the game very hard.

not dead, not even starting to die. RO is as alive as ever and getting even more updates. As we speak, there's already a development going on for jobs after trans! (cant wait for Royal Guard)

 

it IS true that private servers are booming but if you look at it, there's still quite alot of RO players in both private and public so i cant say it's near dying

Actually, RO is one of the longest running games that I have known. Even now many still play RO. If you include the private servers, there are tons of private servers and many people play in those servers. It's a really die hard game.

The most exciting changes to happen in RO since its release happens this year.  Its a wide redefining of the game.  It should give the game a few more years, especially now after they gave it a jolt by making the game free2play.

They did not make it free, just added a free server with even more grind than there is.

id rather pay

What Seriously? Thats even more crazy then.

RO is really a good game to me, but only if you remove all the grind. PVP is addictive, since i hate to grind, there is only one way that i can play ragnarok online without the grind and without paying, but i cannot say that word in mmorpg.com or il get banned, but without saying that word, i can say that the server i play is so great, you can hit lvl 99 under a week and you have super high chance to drop items. Yeah, an high rate server and not only that, we can pvp every where we want excluding in the city of prontera. Events made by GM's are really great and if you are a skilled gamer and not a no life grinder, you can be the best pvper just with your own skills as a player that come from DOTA for example.
