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.

Gravity is a Korean company. But they dont favor the japanese version more. Actually, back when RO was new the Japanese were quite a bit behind the korean version. Sure, not as much as Iro but they still got things slow.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

Ultima is correct. The Japanese company isn't dumb. And jRo is where iRo is at.

The reason jRO isn't catching up to kRO as fast as everyone think they should is because how players will act when there are like 7 major updates in 1 update. Everyone will be like "WTF, YOU HAXED!!" *points at gunslinger*, ect. That's the only reason they aren't doing it. And not to mention RO isn't popular in Japan.
