Teu canal é top, conteúdo de qualidade
With this analysis I'm not surprised the Business has left RO mostly untouched since changes to RO puts the whole Ragnarok IP at risk.
The Ragnarok team would need to get approval from the parent company to invest in RO. The only way this would be approved is if they're making lots of small changes that add monetization for the business. This is the microtransactions additions we saw from the semi-recent changes.
Now the RO team doesn't want to make more changes to the game, since only the bad changes get approved.
Crazy thing is that GungHo, the parent company of Gravity, manages the official Japanese server, and it is the only server that still charges monthly to pay and it has more aggressive gacha than any other server!
That's a really cool video !
Thanks! :)
The only mobile version ragnarok was ROVU the 2D version game. That i consider good ragnarok. It was fun and actually entertaining to play it. The other ragnaroks they released lately and other companies having rights of example the chinese servers and … yeah… warportal screwed bit much that also makes me never play official servers.. sadly
Gotta admit,, its impressive that EL is still alive and kicking
Amigo, acompanho seu canal faz tempo, já vi todos os videos. Aprecio muito que faça um conteúdo realista sobre Ragnarok. Vejo que é um jogo amado por muitos e traz muita nostalgia mas, infelizmente, é gerido por pessoas que não se importam com sua base de jogadores. Deixando a ganancia de empresários de lado, Ragnarok é especial na minha vida e jogo desde 2004 quando veio o cd numa caixa de cereal. Atualmente procuro um server low rate, oldtimes, apenas para curtir mesmo. Gosto da pegada mais lenta e meditativa do jogo, sem precisar ser tryhard ou ficar pagando rops pra adquirir itens. Se conhecer algum, aceito sugestões. Por favor, continue criando e fazendo um bom trabalho. Grande abraço!
Estou jogando no UaRO, pre renewal 5x. Excelente server
Obrigado! Olha, nesse momento, não sei qual servidor recomendar. Tinha alguns privates pre-renewal que eram bons mas fecharam ano passado. Alguns deles reabriram, mas não joguei em nenhum deles desde então. O problem é que servidores privates tb costumam sofrer com má administração. Com certeza deve ter algum servidor pre-renewal bom, mas eu, particulamente, vou esperar pra ver quais desses servidores se mantém estáveis, na qualidade e na população de players, pra daí sim começar a recomendar servers.
@@lucasfabrini93 tb estou nele, bem equilibrado e sem p2w
that's impressive, and I make RO maps for hobby.
daniel is da best

Nossa! To dando uma olhada nos teus videos! Como que vc faz os mapas? Recentemente, eu vi um video de um cara que tá recriando o Ragnarok na Unity. Ele usa Blender, mas ele não explicou muito bem como que ele faz pra abrir no as artes do Ragnarok no Blender. Muito banaca o teu trabalho! Você tem algum video no qual explica como que vc faz esses mapas?
Profitable Zombie é um dos melhores termos q eu ja ouvi pro rag
Excelente termo!
I dont know if english is your first language, but regardless your english is really good
Thank you! That's very kind of you! English isn't my first language. I'm Brazilian! But I've been living in the UK for over 7 years already.
E aí tudo bem? Cara parabéns pelos vídeos. Seu conteúdo é foda. Mano, eu tb sou br, moro aqui em Dublin, vc acha q vale a pena jogar nesse server europeu? Eu vi seu vídeo mas o server parecia bem morto. Eu curto muito pvp em ragnarok mas no server br era muito chato jogar contra pessoas spamando bolinho de carne.
Opa, vlw! Olha, o server europeu é de fato meio vazio. O bRO é o que eu mais gosto. Nçao jogo mais pvp, mas pelo que ouço falar, hoje em dia o cenário de pvp é bem mais vazio no bRO. Tem uma movimentação pra guerra de emperium. Eu uso o Surfshark de VPN, e pode ser que dê algum lag, que num momento de pvp pode ser bem frustrante. Já experimentou o iRO? Tem uma população bem boa. Precisa de VPN pra jogar no iRO tb, mas VPNs costumam funcionar marivilhosamente bem pra ip nos EUA.
@@gamecitizen a você é br tbm? haha
@@daniel_druziki Sim! :)
Cade os novos videos?
Videos sobre as novidades da gravity ou qualquer novidade e especulação pro futuro do rag sao bem vindos
Acredito que o foco atual da gravity inclusive seja agora nft, mas nao sei onde procurar sobre
Cara, sendo completamente honesto, me falta tempo pra jogar. Durante agosto e setembro, nem consegui logar! Mas agora as coisas estão voltando ao normal e novos vídeos virão!
Sobre NFT, a Gravity de fato lançou um jogo mobile NFT no mercado asiático. Não sei se vai dar certo. Até agora, nenhum jogo NFT realmente bombou. Mas a Gravity deixa bem claro que os jogos mobile são cash-grabber. É pra fazer lucro rápido e depois esquecer do jogo. Vlw pela força e o lembrete de trazer mais vídeos!
hi, sorry the question but what''s the difference between Ragnarok Origin and EL? thank you for this unique video you do!
Thanks! Well, I don't know much, because I have never played Ragnarok Origin. Both are for mobile, but they can be played through computer too. Ragnarok Origin is supposed to be more faithful to the original ragnarok, but, being completely honest, I don't know much about it. My guess is that Ragnarok Origin is supposed to be the "heir" of Eternal Love, since Eternal Love is in its final stage of life already.
They should develop the base game properly because it is what generates interest and positivity about the ip. Not the mobile craps...
Btw NovaRO finally shuts down on 4th July, you might be able to do video of "death of one of the biggest private server"
I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing the information! I guess they have settled their case with Gravity. I will definitely check how things are there, with the community!
Does anyone know how much does it cost the licence to run the original ro from gravity?
Gravity doesn't release that information, but we can infer based on how much they got from royalties in the past given a certain area. Looking at 2007, Gravity got from Royalties and Liscense fees from Brazil, 547 thousand dollars. Correcting to inflation, that would be 800 thousand dollars. But I don't think they had a homogenous price arragement. That same year, royalties from Europe, 419 thousand dollars. Thailand, 981 thousand. Vietnam, 130 thousand dollars. I do know that when you have royalties for the game, Gravity still charges per packs of updates, which could help to explain the difference in revenue. The official European server nowadays operates through royalties, and Gravity says they got 168 thousand dollars from them in 2022.
I did a bit of research on that one.
Brazil, Japan, Russia/EU has a different contract compared to N.America.
Basically Warp Portal cheaped out and bought a license without the right to modify meaning they are only allowed the base game, they can't add NPCs or change things on their own.
Unlike other servers that bought a full license in order to modify it as they want. The license is more expensive.
The docs are somewhere on WarpPortal forums.
The official servers are complete crappy moneygrabs. When people cry about private servers rugpulling I just look at official servers rugpulling every mobile game release.
iRO restart was the shortest life server, complete incompetence, refused to hire a lawyer and banned Europe instead of drafting GDPR
chadvity keeps winning 😅
Bom dia GameCitizen! Nome legal btw.
Tudo bem? Tem algum jeito de falar com vc em particular? Estamos criando um servidor internacional e gostariamos de te convidar a testar. Como você é um jogador antigo e nosso servidor é um ragnarok 99/70 com essência mas trazendo jogabilidade e conteúdo de mmos diferente, tenho certeza que você vai gostar! Muito obrigado por ler, GameCitizen. Um abraço do Japão!
Instead of making those mobile games, they should make a better RO 2 game.
Completely agree. But Gravity lost passion for Ragnarok and have a short-sight. They want a lot of money and fast, but mobile games don't last long.
how they are making so much money and yet their interfaces are so shit?
FableRo PVP Server
I think ragnarok is relatively popular in Asia and maybe Brazil still.
Definitely dead in europe.
Yeah, the game is pretty much okay in many Asian countries, but, in Europe, the population of players is small. Gravity doesn't like Europe. Look at the mobile games. Most exist only in the Asian market, and Europe is always the last to receive them, that is if they receive them.
@@gamecitizen one of the reason Gaming company does not like Europe because of the Very Strict regulation that european country imposed on "Loot Boxes" or what we call Gacha which majority of the company nowadays do to generate money.
Some of the country even totally banned games with Gacha, totally.
@@sjbox I strongly agree that the Gacha should be more regulated. Some games (and some servers of ragnarok) have a piety system, which helps a bit.
@@gamecitizen yes, every Gacha should have a transparent Rate and Pity system.
But greedy devs does not bother that much so they just wont release in the EU region to avoid trouble with the govermnet when they got audited.
not to mention Europe's GDPR is very hard to comply for foreign company
