Ragnarok Land?

Two weeks ago, I wrote about some of my favourite online games.  At one point in my childhood, I dreamt about opening a swimming pool made entirely out of Candy Cane, Chocolate and Chocolate Milk because of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  That thought had subsided, it is non-hygienic and who knows where you can build something like that - oh, wait.. I think I might have saw a miniature chocolate pool in Big Brother.

I digress.

As I was saying, two weeks ago, I wrote about my favourite online game, Ragnarok Online.  It is a multiplayer online game, excuse my non-nerd/non-geek language, please.  There are many servers hosting this game and I played diligently on one of these servers.  I liked my server because it was well organized, fun and engaging.  The game was also super cute :).  

Server maintenance and updates were properly announced and game drop/success rates were fair which provided me with ample of time to work on things I wanted to achieve in game.  A good server attracts good players and, naturally, I found people to play with!  

The "server people" and "update providers" provided excellent server maintenance and updates.  I never worried about losing my in-game progress and if I did, it was my fault.  I was always one of the first people to log in when server maintenance is complete, yes I JAMMED THE LOG IN, and I was always the last one out, yes, YOU FORCED ME OUT.  I did not care because I was collecting materials that dropped easily while exploring maps.  I would log back in to see how much stuff I lost, if any, and if I can catch a glimpse of any MVPs before their destructions.  When I finally decided to quit, I deleted all my characters and passed all of my items to a friend.  I never wanted to go back because it took a long time to build my two, maybe three, characters and to collect all of the gears.

While I was a player, I thought about making movies in game but my computer was always lagging, in fact, I always tone down the special effects.  Today, I thought maybe I can assemble and print my own collector's edition of the Ragnarok Online game "guide" using whatever I can find on the internet.  I've always enjoyed looking at the artwork in game.  I actually hunted cards so I can look at the art on the card (I know I could have just went to the source file but I wanted to look at it in game).  I wonder if I would ever attend to this project.  I had many in game projects, like collecting pets.

I also loved the game music.  I remember my first log in where I was creating my first character, it was so much more magical than sims!  

Aside from that, there were all sorts of unique people on the server.  We had a maxed out acolyte!  She didn't want to be a priest, she wanted to be special and she WAS because she was the first one, at least according to rumours I've heard.  I am always the last to know so don't believe my sources.

Anyhow, I want to see Elder's react to Ragnarok Online and it would be interesting to see an amusement park or an attraction at an amusement park dedicated to RagnarokOnline.  Let me know if they exist, please.
