Ragnarok II: The Gate Of the World

Gung-Ho did buy Gravity Inc, so there is likely a Japanese beta. It's just a matter of finding the webpage. Signing up for Japanese betas are always a hell of a lot easier than signing up for Korean ones because of the whole KSSN deal. Of course, Gravity has been smart recently and has been blocking IPs from sites.

Nothing a proxy can't deal with I suppose.

I used to love RO, and I've been looking forward to RO2 ever since my Aegis days. Oh, to be young again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Japanese betas require no sort of social security number if they are open beta. I believe RO2 right now is closed beta in both countries, so even if one had a KSSN or found a beta signup page, you'd still be out of luck.

Chingy, the sad reality is that since Gravity is a Japanese/Korean country, their primary market is that of those two countries. I wouldn't count on playing RO2 for at least another 6 months or more, knowing how Gravity operates. Stop whining about it, it'll come when it comes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

However, it isn't exactly up to Gravity when certain areas get updates. Gravity only has direct control over Kro and Iro, unless some international company has taken over Iro since I left. It's up to the companies that are controlling that version. An example of this would be way back when Jro got an addition that was unique to just that version. Not even Kro had it. Though, I think it was added to the other versions much down the road. It has been awile.

Thier primary market is the Korean customer base. Everyone else takes a backseat to them.

Gung-Ho is also a Japanese company. Owning Gravity. Which owns RO. Therefore, it isn't unlikely that they'll have prioritized the Japanese version at least a little bit more than previous years.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
