Can somebody help me out by giving me a good Christian review of this game and it's up and downs, and tell me what it's all about? Thanks!
God bless you,
Jonathan

(there's already an RO thread, but since this is a question and not discussion, I'll answer your questions here)

Heh heh, I've never been good at writing reviews, but I guess I should cover all the bases here.

1) I find nothing excruciatingly objectionable about the game's content - yes, there is an NPC who tells you the chief deity of Rune-Midgard is Odin (a mythological Norse god - I assume by the title that other Norse deities are mentioned in the game as well). Yes, there is a mage/wizard/sage class, which means there is magic. There is also a acolyte/priest class, who deal in healing magic and a class of "demon" monsters (i.e., incubus, succubus, assorted ghosts, etc.).

2) As with most MMORPGs, there are a fair share of pure idiots around - so just a warning, there is foul language/crass conversations flying about often. So if you feel that you are easily swayed from the straight and narrow by that sort of thing, then I'd advise you not play.

Gamer-wise, RO is online crack (excuse the expression. ^^;) I know people who swore they'd never play an MMORPG playing RO obsessively - it's that addictive. The game play is a bit repetitive - Kill monster, job change, kill more monsters, do quests for equipment and skills, job change, kill more monsters, kill boss monsters, go guild warring, etc. There's limited character customization (hair color, hair style, hats).

@_@; I'm so bad at this. That's all I can think of for now, I'll add more later.

Thanks alot Kokoro Daisuke! Um... one more question: I read the terms and conditions thing that you have to agree to. I think that because I'm in London, I would have to register for a europe account. If I'm in a Europe account, can I play with people with American accounts? Or vice versa... if someone has an American account can he/she play with people with European accounts? Thanks!

Wiggins - If you register at euRO and download the client from euRO, you play euRO and not iRO (american version). Therefore, you cannot play iRO with a euRO account and vice versa. However, just because you live in London doesn't mean you can't play iRO - the i does stand for international, after all. ^.~
