The world of online gaming has improved by leaps and bounds over the years. However, Ragnarok Online still manages to get a faithful following largely thru its deep, engaging quests, colorful characters and patches which has managed to keep the interest of its players going.

Ragnarok Online with its Ash Vacuum patch introduces an unknown place that citizens of Rune-Midgard have always feared. In this patch, players begin their adventure in the footsteps of the evil Satan Morroc as it tells about the battles between the Safas and Laphines in a place called Otherworld.

Ragnarok Online continues to be one of the most immersive MMORPGs. Every episode and patch that is released brings a deeper understanding into the games story. Ash Vacuum brings a new dimension and added excitement to its citizens.

To complement an already intricate storyline are added features that players could discover. New maps and dungeons like the PvP filed, Guild dungeon, and Memorial dungeon make the world a little bit bigger and fun. Along with the new maps is the addition of a new feature called the Poring War.

Aside from simply hunting or going on a quest, Poring War is like a mini game that involves 2 parties of 5 members. Attack power and skill limitations are based on Siege mode and Turbo Track which allows a party to test their battle tactics, skills and even help players get experience points faster.

Each party member is assigned their own pair of Angelings and Devilings. The objective is easy; protect Porings from your enemies. When either party successfully eliminates all the opposing team’s Porings they are awarded the game and 3 Poring coins. The battle ends when any party succeeds in collecting a pre-set number of coins. These coins can then be used in the Poring Vending Machine where they could gamble on getting items.

Hardcore fanatics would not be disappointed with the patch’s new quests. One particular quest that is sure to test their mettle is the Godly Item quest. The quest rewards those who are brave enough to venture on the adventure the elusive Godly item: Asprika and Brynhild.

So whether this is your first time to play Ragnarok Online or have been playing it for years you will definitely find out why each patch is important. Each new patch hikes the ante just a little bit but also leaves players asking for more. With the march of all the new MMORPGs of today, hardcore players know how Ragnarok Online has blazed the path for all these games.
