![[RO's Predecessor] Tree of Savior First CBT Preview](/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/cbt-preview-blog.jpg)
Kim Hakkyu, the Project Director of “Arcturus”, “Ragnarok Online”, “Granado Espada” and “Wolfknights” will be starting the first Closed Beta Testing (CBT) for his new MMORPG, Tree of Savior (TOS). The CBT will begin on January 15th to 18th for a total of four (4) days.
Warpportal.com, a website operated by Gravity Interactive, Inc. (Gravity US) has secretly censored the word “Tree of Savior” and the acronym “TOS” in the forum. The word filter built into the website will automatically filter “Tree of Savior” as “Ragnarok Online” and “TOS” as “Ragnarok Online 2”.
Feel like going back to relive the good old days in Ragnarok Online but do not want to spend too much time to download Ragnarok Online client and to endure the dreaded weekly maintenance? Here’s a good news, Vincent Thibault is currently developing roBrowser that will allow players to play Ragnarok Online using their favorite online browser, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and etc.
A couple of days ago I came across a petition, it says, “Forbid Level Up! Games to publish Tree of Savior in Brazil/South America”. I got curious, so I did some research on the parties involved. I managed to contact the petition organizer, Fernando Marques who was kind enough to let me know what is going on in Brazil.
I shared an article a week ago on why was Ragnarok Online so Much Fun, written by Ramona Smith and it is one of the best written article I have read on Ragnarok Online. This time, I am writing the opposite, why Ragnarok Online failed. As a website dedicated to Tree of Savior (a highly acclaimed successor of Ragnarok Online) game, I will try my best to be as neutral as possible.
