I never played this game, but back in HS/college I recognized that it brought one of the largest shares of traffic to my video game strategy guide wiki. The RO guide underwent constant maintenence by fans, and was subject to extreme organic growth despite no manual intervention on my part. The level of curation, attention to detail, and the extent to which it was taken was fascinating--and I didn't initiate any of it.
I was always impressed by the Ragnarok community.
Sadly, memory of those days was marred when a trusted friend that was running sysops hijacked my domain name account and stole the site from under me when I was overseas. But it was a good lesson in never trusting anyone and not to under any circumstance reuse passwords. (Granted, I swear Godaddy's password reset was an idempotent no-op back then... My account changes never seemed to persist.)
