- Ragnarok Online often referred to as RO, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game created by Gravity/ GRAVITY Co., Ltd. based on the manhwa by Lee Myung-Jin. It was first released in South Kore on 31 August, 1998 for Microsoft Windows and has since been released in many other locales around the world. Much of the game's mythos is based on Norse mythology, but its style has been influenced by Asian cultures. The game has spawned an animated series, Ragnarok the Animation, and a sequel game, Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of the World.
- Ragnarok Online (Korean: 라그나로크 온라인, alternatively subtitled The Final Destiny of the Gods), often referred to as RO, is a Korean massive multiplayer online role-playing game or MMORPG created by GRAVITY Co., Ltd. based on the manhwa Ragnarök by Lee Myung-jin. It was first released in South Korea on 2002 August 31 for Microsoft Windows and has since been released in many other locales around the world. It runs on an internally-developed engine known as AEGIS. The game has spawned an animated series, Ragnarok the Animation, and a sequel game, Ragnarök Online II.
- Ragnarok Online is a Korean MMORPG established in 2001 by Gravity Co., Ltd. Originally an adaption of the Manhwa Ragnarok, RO was eventually released to several countries, yet mostly stayed popular in Asia. Most Korean MMORPGs afterwards have had a nasty habit of almost copying the game to a T; it might have popularized the free beta idea as well, not to mention, possibly, the more-or-less standard licensing architecture foreign online game developers tend to use when setting their games up overseas. In a rather sad twist, more people play Ragnarok than World of Warcraft... if you count all the illegal, mostly free private servers.

In a rather sad twist, more people play Ragnarok than World of Warcraft... if you count all the illegal, mostly free private servers. Also of note is Ragnarok Onlines rather colourful history, markedly moreso than most MMORPG's and definitely remarkable given the game's general success despite the various tribulations. At the end of its original closed beta period, a group of hackers, apparently angered by the game moving into a pay to play format, attacked the servers, not only of the game but Gravity as well, destroying everything, setting ROs development back, and causing it to disappear from the radar for a long time before finally resurfacing. A lot of anger can be seen under the community at this, at times, as not only did it enable the private servers to come about by stealing a copy of the basic Aegis architecture at the core of the game, but caused many features, such as player owned apartments, to be dropped from the final release. Not to mention a near disastrous case of Executive Meddling by Samsung after they saved Gravity from total bankruptcy (though Samsung saw how horrible things were going because of the meddling, and backed off just in time). An improved remake of the poorly received Ragnarok Online 2 will have a closed beta test at the end of August, let's hope it's really better. Character page in progress...
