Ragnarok Online 2 SEA Open Beta Launches On January 3, 2013

The first English server of Ragnarok Online 2 was supposed to launch its Open Beta period last December 27, 2012 but that launch never happened. Well, it kinda did for a brief moment but it was eventually shutdown because the server was not able to handle the volume of players who tried to login and play the game.

Obviously, the publisher was not prepared to handle that many users at once which is very common with most MMORPG launches. Hopefully, the Open Beta launch tomorrow will not have the same problems as before. If not then it will disappoint a lot of players worldwide (or NOT).

Ragnarok Online 2 is the sequel to Ragnarok Online but, unlike the original, Ragnarok Online 2 or RO2 is now in 3D. The sad thing about this Open Beta Launch is the fact that players from outside Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam will have no access to the game. It sucks but it has something to do with licensing which means the SEA server of RO2 is only for SEA players.

According to some post in the official RO2 Sea forum, North America and the Philippines will have their own English server of RO2 in the first quarter of 2013.

Anyway, with only four countries having access to the game, the amount of traffic the game server will get will not be the same as before. Of course, everyone from all over can still try to login to their accounts. If they can login then good for them. If not then they'll just have to wait for their own server of RO2 to serve their country or region.
