Ragnarok 'Online' not as online as you may have thought

Well, we had one day to freak out over a DS MMO. We can all relax now. It turns out that Gungho's planned DS Ragnarok game is not going to be massively multiplayer. It's an action-RPG with some unspecified Wi-Fi use. Maybe, if we're lucky, it'll be online multiplayer on a smaller scale.

Okay, here's a thought experiment for you: what's more of a cash-in: an MMO, or a handheld spinoff of an MMO? Oh, well, we like action-RPG's better than MMO's anyway.

Will it be RBO-esque is the real question. If it's something like RBO, then I'll ALSO be happy, for I love that game along with my friends.

Let's just see what happens.

I would so had prefered MMO over action-RPG. I don't like single player games much, and playing on DS is cuter than PC.

To bad neither of this or Etrian was multiplayer. Graphical mud on DS would own (if there was any players... stupid retarded friendcodes.)

It better not be another turn attack game.. It would be really cool as an mmo using the original RO maps tho.

I WAS going to buy it if it was an MMORPG, No monthly fee and if I can get my WI-Fi working. Now that it isn't an MMO , I'm not buying it. Well done guys.

I want to see an MMO on the DS, no more plain ol' RPG's. I would have bought it if it were an MMO, but probably not now.

Bah...it better be like Ragnarok Battle Offline if it's going to be an action-RPG...but, I guess we'd only find that out if French Bread helps make it.
