Been playing for a few weeks now. Just have got to say that this server is really good for NA players. There is no lag at all. This is a pre-renewal server so it's the classic ragnarok that everybody enjoys. Ars Ragnarok is not a pay-to-win server. You can literally grind everything out even cash shop points and items with killing MVPs for MVP vouchers and doing missions. Cash shop can be expensive but there's no reason to invest your dollars. Just grind. Economy is not so great, only downside.
