Today marks my 1st year on Ragnarok Online Chaos Server. My Ragnarok comeback after about 15 years. Mediyo emotional para sakin kasi it allowed me to have a journey of self discovery.
Una akong nakapaglaro neto 2005 ata, I could barely afford it. Pinaalala lang sakin recently ng tropa ko, nagshe-share pa kami nun sa isang account tapos ambagan din sa load makapag laro lang😂. Una kong ginawa Swordsman, tapos siyempre Thief kasi gusto maging Assassin. I didn't even get to 2nd class.
I still remember that one magical afternoon na nakakita ako ng naglalaro ng crit Assassin sa isang kompyuteran. The sounds of crit was mesmerizing. I knew I wanted to do that too kaso di talaga kaya. Nagawa ko lang siya nung umuso na yung private servers pero parang may kulang talaga. pRO was home.
Dami kong realizations in the past year of playing; why I quit before, what my frustrations were, how big of an influence RO really is to me, all the great experiences and more. Now I remember most of them, both the fun and painful parts.
I wish I could tell my younger self that it's fine. You'll get to play again someday Thief kid. I promise it'd be more fun as a Shadow Cross dad.
