Game Mechanics

In the new Ragnarok Online 2: legend of the Second, Gravity has made a conscious effort to bring back game systems that make the game feel true to the original Ragnarok Online, while at the same time adding more systems and features never before seen.

  • The Game's engine has been changed to Gamebryo. (Oblivion, Fallout, Warhammer Online, Etc.)
  • Closed Beta Test level cap: Lv 30.
  • Open Beta Test level cap: Lv 50.
  • PVP and Siege will be available upon official release.
  • No weapon leveling system.
  • Tailor system: Same dress different looks. Iron clothes cannot be customized. Can be enjoyed by all classes but the Tailor profession enjoy more diversified skills.
  • Characters will be 7-8 heads tall.
  • Stats will be gained automatically although Gravity has said that there will be other options to go about adding stats.

Camera

Since Ragnarok Online 2 is a fully 3D game, unlike the original, there will be a different camera system. Gravity has released some information about how it will work.

  • Players will have the option to choose between 3rd Person view and traditional Top-down view.
  • Point and clicking on cells will be returning just like the previous Ragnarok Online.
  • Splash damage and area of effect for skills will be highlighted on cells when performing a move. This can be toggled on and off.

Camps

  • Camps can be used as a save point outside of town.

Cards

  • Cards will play an important role and can be used to enforce armor sets and apply special skills.
  • Cards can be used in mini-games.
  • Cards will be applied to the player rather than items themselves, which means card effects will be constant no-matter which armor/weapon you are using.
  • Cards can become upgraded, trimmed, and be gambled with. This will make even the least of cards valuable.
  • Cards can be removed.

Chara System

The long awaited "alignment system" will be in Ragnarok Online 2.

  • Individual skills may perform completely differently depending on your chaos & order points.

  • If you have enough points it is possible to change from one side to another.
  • There is no fixed number of points you can gain in the chara system.

Flight

The long awaited "alignment system" will be in Ragnarok Online 2.

  • Players will be able to enjoy flight from which you will be able to look down on the world.
  • Some areas will only be able to be accessible through Hot Air Balloons.
