RO2 sucks.
It's literally a WoW clone.

RO2 Sea has less lag compared to NA, and after lvl 50 I just didn't felt like doing anything anymore, well I did the dungeons on hardmode, tried a few raids and then I somewhat quit.
RO2 is a questfest, I suggest you play on Sea since US people can play there and make friends and join a guild and do dungeons together, pugs in this game are horrible.

Fairly sure anybody in the US can play it. Especially with open beta coming out soon, I think.
Ragnarok Online 2 plays fairly similar to the Everquest/World of Warcraft structure, meaning it's very much based on finding quests from NPCs and leveling from there. The combat is more in line with those games too, rather than its predecessor. I can only assume this is to appeal to a wider audience who are curious about Ragnarok Online, but never played it. If you've ever played Ragnarok Online 1 extensively, you'll immediately notice the difference with the sequel.
Mabinogi is quite healthy with its concurrent player population and content updates, as far as I know. As for if it's still worth playing, you have to ask yourself what made you stop playing and compare to Mabinogi as of today.

i ended up playing RO2 like 5 years back it was pretty bad lol... and probably still is, nothing like traditional RO
and if you didn't know it was like cancelled or something then it was in development again... then idk what happened knowing that it still isn't fully out yet kinda proves my point lol they pulled a square enix b4 square enix could pull it off (FFXIV)

I have this same thought.. on most sites they keep on suggesting Mabinogi, so I'm thinking on which one to play.. go back to RO2 or Mabinogi :v

the first RO2 was scrapped because the players (fans) didnt like it.. so I guess this new RO2 is their second take on remaking a sequel of that RO1.

Ragnarok Battle Offline! It's a shame French Bread stopped working on that it could have been big with all the update the real RO got. But yeah between RO2 and Mabinogi go with Mabinogi no contest.
I was part of the korean closed beta of RO2 and I was highly unimpressed. It was a fun korean grinder if you enjoy korean grinder but that was it. A souless husk of it's former glory (RO).
Now many people who'd play RO1 today would be like "It's a generic korean grinder" and they wouldn't be wrong, but back in the day when RO was one ofthe only thing on the market it was amazing. /nostalgia
Personally I thought the first RO2 had more potential than the second one. It also had superior music. That intro theme was just beautiful.

ohwait I heard they changed the intro they had before to the one I just linked. Ohwell +1 on that I guess. Mind you the intro they originally had was pretty good too but this one just strike me more.
