Tree of Savior, also known as Project R1, is a game currently in development by Korean developer IMC Games. Led by the "father of Ragnarok Online" Kim Hakkyu, this game aims to be the spiritual successor of Ragnarok Online 1.

Description:
Tree of Savior, also known as Project R1, is an MMORPG currently in development by Korean developer IMC Games.

Kim Hakkyu, the primary director of Ragnarok Online, left Gravity Corp. in 2002. Gravity was then left to develop Ragnarok Online 2 with a different team. As a result, the game adopted many elements from western MMORPGs such as WoW. Many RO fans viewed RO2 as a failure due to its streamlined look and inability to retain the uniqueness of the original Ragnarok Online. As a result, RO1 is more popular than RO2 to this day.

Tree of Savior, or "Project R1", aims to be the spiritual successor of Ragnarok Online 1. Led by Kim Hakkyu, the game will feature sprite-based character models in a 3D world (also known as 2.5D), much like the original RO.

After having the displeasure of trying RO2, I'll take just about anything.

Looks pretty good.
Your story was bad. It was terrible, in fact. It was like that lame twilight bullshit. I have no patience for that crap. It’s not writing, it’s like bound toilet paper.

the use of 2d sprites instead of 3d models is nice. ragnarok online was my first and only enjoyable mmo to play, so maybe i'll give this a go (even though i find all mmos to be boring these days). hopefully you can customise more than just the head this time around.

I generally have a lot more respect for detailed sprite art. This definitely looks interesting, although I don't know if I can bring myself to play another MMO.

80 classes? I don't believe it one bit to be perfectl honest.

Graphics are nothing spectacular. Will keep an eye on this game though, looks fun and a nice distraction till other bigger games hit the market.

This looks more appealing to me than some of the current mmos I've seen. I like the detailed art of the sprite characters and well, it feels very nostalgic. I played RO in 2002-2004 and was a really huge fan of the game. I'm not sure I'd play this new game since I lost interest in playing video games in general, but I might give it a try just to see how it works and if it can maybe convince me to play more.

I agree with Luna on this one, many people will prefer graphics of this game over new stuff because of the nostalgic feeling to it.

-Update #2-

Cataphract – A strong class able to break blocking objects and get out of monster crowds when surrounded. It is 1 of the few warrior classes which is able to attack while moving.

Chronomancer – A mage-type class with the power to control time. In actual gameplay, it is able to increase self-movement speed, increase party’s attack speed. This class also has crowd control skills such as limiting targets’ movement, and even turning back time!

Quarrel Shooter – A special ranged class using a 1-handed crossbow and a shield, giving the usually fragile archer-type classes some much needed defence. It can apparently place shields on the ground as well, blocking incoming attacks.

Bokor – A witch doctor/ voodoo shaman type of class, it uses poison and other dark magic as attacks. Its speciality is to revive dead monsters (upon death) and forming a large army of undead minions.

I imagine in S. Korea there's already games that looks and plays like RO, not sure why this project is getting any special treatment.

That looks pretty amazing. The mount system looks interesting.

Archer concept art looks like your typical RPG slut made to pander.

Ragnarok online is the true king of Korean mmorpgs. Many have tried emulating it but have devolved into nothing more than micro-transaction trash heaps.

With Tree of Savior finally coming by, Ragnarok can finally advocate the throne. Tree of Savior boasts of over 80 classes where you can range from a simple mage to a pyromancer, to a shapeshifter, to a dancer, and to a mob tamer. With the almost high amount of customization in items, weapons, craft, and jobs, you can create a character different from all the others.

Worried about how the KR version is going to release and we'll go through a Blade & Soul incident where the NA release is undefined? Well no fucking worries, because the KR version will also release an INTERNATIONAL within close timespans as promised by the dev team. Are you hyped? Cuz I am! Ragnarok was fun as fuck but because of its age, it had to die but this is bringing up nostalgia with enough content for it to be more than just an "Expansion" of Ragnarok.



Right now, the G-Star convention is happening and I will update the thread as more announcements come.

Well they're acknowledging support outside of South Korea. I remember when ArcheAge first released and they didn't say a single word about an NA release. And because there will be an international release, that means all translation efforts will focus into one single version instead of seprately including regions like Taiwan, Brazil, US, China etc. so they're putting more effort into it than ya think. Plus, we almost had an English cbt over summer but they wanted to prepare for the G-star convention so it didn't happen. What I'm trying to say is, they're not half assing it like a lot of KMMORPGs like to do.

The new trailers make me wanna cry ;___; Seriously can't wait for it sigh.

If anyone is worrying about the graphic since it looks similar to the old RO, ToS actually won the best game art as well as the best game during the recent G-Star convention :D (I think it looks superb as well personally)

the CBT is coming soon next month probably though for only 1000 players and most likely ip-restricted >_>

The sprites remind me of Odin Sphere which I picked up again recently. I just wish the MMORPGs would drop the idea of classes already, there's so few of them with free-form character progression.
