The game is not the most original and neither the most creative game in the past decade. Thanks to the first title of the series (Ragnarok online) it has a huge fanbase and receives often high scores. The very low scores are mostly, I presume, from miscontent fans. Although the game itself is far from bad, it isn't spectacular. But the idea that you don't need to spent a penny and have a complete experience is a great surplus! What I experienced as bad in this game is the linear path. Wich character you roll, you always start in the same area and take the same path. Guild wars 2 for example made the replayability worth the while, something that ro2 doesn't quite use. It is sad, because the devs from ro2 work with a freemium model in such a good way that a gamer wants to keep playing. The other "bad" thing are the lady characters. It is on the surface a kid friendly game but when you look deeper (wordplay) you'll notice the naughty anime or soft hentai influences. Not a bad think maybe, but a very cheap way to attract many male gamers. Wonder how many men are playing a man in ro2? The many good things in RO2 are the soundtrack, the class development, the unique worldstyle, the variety in quests, the achievement quests besides normal quests (for earning titles, the collectible cards, ... There is a lot to do in Midgard, although I wonder how long players will hang around without getting bored?
