RE: MMOs, What makes you like them?
I prefer 2D MMO's that have a penchant for Being Cute, like RO or Trickster (even though trickster sucks, IMO it's still far better than Maple Story)
I have always had a penchant for magic classes (like in the oldschool Finalfantasies and stuff) long before I ever found out about MMO's. As such I really hope for unique stuff that's brought along with them. One thing that has always turned me off about RO tho is the insanely long cast times you have when you don't have dex. If you were a noob like I was, you'd be pumping intelligence not knowing dex was needed to speed up cast.??
Healers are a must. But I'd like to make an emphasis that Healing items would work better since you can regenerate spell power, and Potions have a definitive end. Also, I'd include armors that could absorb certain elements so Hey! Lets waterball this guy and heal him for like 25 k (or more).
Ranged Physical Classes have pretty much Killed a lot of the balance in RO. But it does present a unique playstyle that most people tend to like to play. I'd propose more ranged monster to counteract them (watch out for the monkey's in the palm trees at the beach throwing coconuts at your Bowman!)
Melee types are also a must. Usual tanky, usual thiefy. Not a whole lot you can do with that to make it different. I suppose you could change the class names and give them different skills, but hell, it's still the same class and we all know it.
I don't really care so much about races, I'd guess I'd follow along with what Aaronock has said on this note.
One of the best things I liked about RO is the story line of things.(SPOILER)
Appearantly some dude in Rachel summoned Beezlebub and posessed Rayan Moore, and coerced him into unsealing Satan Morroc, and Possessed Hibram got the people in the Arunafeltz military all aggro'd to Rune Midgard's Kingdom, all because of 1 Demon bug in a Monastary noone's supposed to know about.Sadly, there's not much more info to go on there, but??it's still quite interesting.
