History Trivia / RagnarokOnline

* {{Homage}} / ShoutOut: The advance job class of the Gunslinger is called Rebellion. Many Westerners seem confused as to why it isn't called Rebel. The movie {{Film/Equilibrium}} is known as '''''Rebellion''''' in Japan and Korea (because the original Equilibrium title doesn't translate well into Japanese or Korean). The film has a major pop culture following in those two countries, and the GunKata inspired Gunslinger is just one of many examples found in manga, anime, manwha, and video games. The advanced job class is directly named after the movie.

** A dynamic weather system was planned too, which would have affected the spawn of monsters on the field. This one is rumored to be axed not due to the hacking incident, but because the dynamic weather system affected the game's performance on weaker [=PCs=]. Whether that's indeed the reason or not, is never known, and the plan is never visited again, even with today era having more powerful [=PCs=].
* TheWikiRule: Various licensed and private servers have their own, but there are a few out there that cover the game regardless of server.
** The [[http://irowiki.org/wiki/Main_Page [=iRO=] Wiki]], which has its own database. While only applicable to [=iRO=], it's probably the biggest and most detailed wiki to date.
** The [[http://ragnarok.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Ragnarok Wikia]], which covers both installments.
** There is even a Ragnarok NPC Illustration wikia.

** There was a USA-themed town/city and dungeon planned at one point. A BGM called "Antique Cowboy" seems to be all that is left of this. Notably, an American wild west themed town does come out many many years later, but does not use that BGM, having an all new BGM instead.

** An alignment system was also planned, and apparently supposed to have an effect on the existing War of Emperium (guild vs guild) feature. All that's left from the plan was a blank and unusable alignment chart on player stat window, and even that got removed during the Renewal update.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: While the hacking incident that almost killed all of gravity's plans for RO is famous there are some lesser known things that could had been.

* BigInJapan: This was once the most popular MMO in Japan; essentially what ''World of Warcraft'' was for America. This is especially notable in anime and manga that take place in (or have features of) MMO gaming, as they borrow a lot of mechanics that were better known in ''Ragnarok Online'' than other titles.

** the trans second class Creator/Biochemist was originally suppose to have the animated solder pads that the 3rd class Geneticist has in their idle battle stance but players liked the look of the non animated pads the Creator/Biochemist got enough to keep them.
