Attention Ragnarok Online users! Today, Friday, September 18, 2009 at 2:00pm PDT, we will be having a maintenance to address an issue with the Ragnarok Online firewall. This will prevent access to the Ragnarok game servers and the Ragnarok Online website, as well as the Gravity blog. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

This is an update of information for players that are having problems viewing or logging into the iRO website.

It seems that recently with the Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe Flash updates (update on Sep 9) a false positive client side report is generated.

Symptoms of this is when you have Flash and Java enabled yet when you login you receive the "Enable Java and Flash" error report.

For information on this problem please see

Basically, go to adobe flashes website and download and update flash a few times, then restart the PC. This should correct the issue (it did for me and several others).

We do apologize for this problem.
