Introduction to Ragnarok Online

Overview

Ragnarok Online (spelled Ragnarök in the logo; Korean: 라그나로크 온라인, alternatively subtitled The Final Destiny of the Gods) is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). It was created by Gravity in Seoul, South Korea, based on the manhwa Ragnarok. Ragnarok Online (RO) allows you to create a virtual character, customize it, and partake in epic adventures across exotic lands. RO is a great way to hang out with friends as well as make new ones. With an ever-expanding universe, in-game events, and a small community of users, there are always places to see, things to do, and people to meet in the world of Ragnarok!

IdunRO is in no way representing or connected to Gravity. IdunRO is a tiny community of gamers that enjoyed a famous MMORPG from the early 2000s and we were sad when it was discontinued by its publishers.
