Earlier this month, South Korean game developer and publisher Gravity Interactive launched Ragnarok M: Eternal Love, a remake of the classic MMORPG Ragnarok on PC in the 2000s, in Asia. Immediately after its release, the game became a huge hit. According to statistics from Gravity, Ragnarok M: Eternal Love ranked first in terms of revenues on Apple’s App Store in several South East Asian countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, Brunei, and Indonesia just a day after it came out. Now, the developer has announced that this hit RPG is going to be open for global pre-registration on November 29.
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love Gameplay
Everything you loved about the original Ragnarok makes a return in Eternal Love. All the old classes are there, from the valiant Knight to the sly Rogue. They even look just like you remember them too. The capital city of Prontera is just as crowded as the days of old. The many dungeons and plains are still full of the familiar monsters that we grew up battling. Even the music and sound effects are the same as the original game.
Yet, despite how similar Ragnarok M: Eternal Love is to the original Ragnarok Online, we have to call it a “remake” instead of a “remaster”. There are a few reasons for this. First of all, the graphics have received massive improvements. Everything is basically in gorgeous, anime-style 3D now. Furthermore, there are tons of new features as well. The world will now cycle between day and night, many new characters and story-driven quests are added, and there is also a new camera mode that lets you take pictures.
Additionally, Ragnarok M: Eternal Love brings an auto-play option. Once activated, it automatically controls your characters to attack enemies, meaning you don’t have to get involved too much. Since grinding is the most time-consuming activity in an MMORPG, this feature will definitely be appealing to those who loved Ragnarok as a kid, but as now grown up and is too busy with their adult lives.
As stated, the global version of Eternal Love will be available for pre-registration on November 29. Unfortunately, there is no release date yet. That means those who live in western regions will have to wait a bit longer before they can get their hands on this legendary game.
