Ragnarok Online’s History
From its debut back in 2003, Ragnarok Online became one of the leading MMORPGs for Philippine gamers. It’s even considered the pioneer of Filipino MMORPGs. The game’s immense popularity sparked the interest of Filipino gamers and paved the way for cosplays and even spawned a well-known 26-episode anime series.
Ragnarok Online is back
The game enjoyed a renaissance through Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia and has since become the number one most popular game in Taiwan and Thailand (according to a Taiwanese gaming site). With close to 10 million players in the Philippines since its 2003 launch, it’s predicted soon enough that the game will have resurgence in the country as well.
