Forum:Alpha and Beta Maps of RO/@comment-84.227.17.35-20140101213327

I doubt RO2 is still in Alpha, it's just that in RO2 EVERYONE starts in the Elemento Academy (except Noels that all start in Elenas but end up joining the actual storyline at the point where the game actually begins).

You talk about big cities tho and, quite honestly the only big cities in Ro1 were the Capitals and some smaller ones, you can't really see Izlude as a Big city as it's subtitle is "Satellite Town of Prontera"

Also you have to see that Single Maps in RO2 cover more space than Maps in RO1 and most towns are not seperate Maps anymore (Izlude & Payon) however big ones still are (Prontera, Alberta and Morroc)

What i find strange however is that the world of Rune Midgard changed heavily between Ro1 and Ro2 XD

Izlude used to be a Town that lies at the Ocean, now it's on a hill...

Also it seems as the RO lore isn't 100% keept together anymore, for e.x in RO1 you're told that Kafras originate from Al de Baran while in various other games they claim that their HQ is in Prontera even if the game is said to play side by side to RO1 xD
