  Dear Asgardians,
  
  Ragnarok Online 2 was scheduled to kick start its Open Beta on 27th December 2012. However, due to overwhelming response from players, we experienced staggeringly high traffic that resulted in severe website and server congestion. Subsequently, many players were regretfully unable to access the game.
  
  We are truly and deeply apologetic to each and every one of you for the various problems that many of you have faced during the start of Open Beta, especially to our players who were not able to enter the game at all. We know that you have set aside time and effort to join us, and we apologise that our issues prevented many of you from doing so.
  
  We have been listening intently to all your feedback and are committed to resolving all these issues to get the game back up and running smoothly. However, in order for us to do this, we have to reschedule Open Beta to 3rd January 2013 and we have to wipe all character data accumulated from 27th December 2012 to 3rd January 2013, before the game servers reopen for a fresh start.
  
  We know that this decision will anger and upset many of our treasured players, and while we earnestly wish to cater to every single player’s wants and needs, our top priority remains in stabilising the game servers so that all Asgardians can enjoy it, and being as fair as possible to the majority of our players who were not at all able to access Open Beta on 27th December 2012. We seek your rational understanding of our very difficult decision and hope that you will accept our gravest apologies.
  
  From today until 3rd January 2013, we will be performing occasional stress tests on the game servers and the game will be open sporadically for players to enter. Even though the data will be wiped, you will be playing an important part of supporting and helping us prepare Open Beta by joining us in these stress tests when you are able to. For that, we sincerely thank you in advance.
  
  We wish you all a Happy New Year as we express our gratitude towards your understanding, patience and kindness during this period. Thank you and see you in January!
  
  Sincerely,
  Sherman Tan
  Chairman of Asiasoft Online and PlayPark

  The charm that is RO1 isn't there.
  ...It feels slower than RO1 too

  Also...I tried the "first" RO2 years ago, it was awful awful awful...

  Quote from Yoorah;1005053:

  Isn't this a different game, though? Like a remake of the original RO2? I've also heard that the first RO2 sucked.
  Kinda curious how this one is.

  
  
  None of the previous RO2 iterations were actually finished. They all died after OBT.

  Also for anyone who doesn't know, they're doing occasional stress tests on the server (which means you can login for a very short amount of time). Its good to familiarize yourself with the character screen and other things... that might take the time someone would use to take your name lol

  Well, if everything is getting wiped before the 3rd then there's no point in name-sniping.

  Dear Asgardians,
  
  We are happy to announce that OBT will start tomorrow, 3rd January 2013, at 1300 HRS (+8 GMT)! That is less than 19 hours from now!
  
  However, it's with our deepest apologies that we announce we will not be able to provide the RO2 game service to players outside of our optimised countries - Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam - due to our licence agreement with the game's developer, Gravity Co., Ltd.
  
  These aforementioned licence terms will take full effect from the start of OBT tomorrow and we deeply apologise for any inconvenience caused to players. We are extremely grateful for the support you have shown RO2 so far and we thank you again for being a part of this journey. Thank you all!

  I was looking at their website and came across this http://ro2.playpark.net/supports/abuse-policy/
  
  
  

  Player who feels that the ban issue is unfair and wish to view the evidence must pay a deposit of SGD$150.00. This deposit will be refunded to the players if they are found to be innocent. Players who failed to give valid explanation will have their deposit forfeited. Viewing of evidence will be arranged and notified by email. Payment must be made beforehand.

  
  
  

  Penalty Fee: Offenders may opt to reactivate their RO2SEA account after serving their mandatory ban. This can be done by topping up 3000 @Cash x rounded-up figure of their highest level character in their account and REQUIRED TO CONVERT TO RO2CASH.

  
  
  Guys I think we found worse than nexon in term of customer service!
