At first glance the Ragnarok Philippines website has a very clean and smooth design. Nothing too flashy. The structure is well designed as well. One can quickly find what he/she is looking for. Although, on the main page which shows a blog (utilizing wordpress), you can’t really see a single reference to their online forum which can be good or bad. It can play to their advantage since people would not take the blog and the forum as one. Sometimes, that brings about lesser confusion. You see when you put a recent forum posts, random forum topics block in your main page, people would not know how to deal with it. If you do market your forum as a separate entity, there would be less confusion since the entry point of forum visitors would be your forum main page. And that set up is familiar to most forumers.
For any Ragnarok fan, Ragnarok Philippines is a great find. They have lots of Ragnarok related contents such as walkthroughs, tips and tricks, and the like. You could even trade/buy and sell your items to/from their large network of Ragnabarkadahan.
Another problem that I have with Ragnarok Philippines is that some of their menus have links which are identical to those used in the main content of the blog. This would make you confused whether they are links to other Ragnarok websites or if they link to the inside content of Ragnarok Philippines. Ideally, you would make the links in your menu look bolder and striking.
The Ragnarok Philippines Forum has a broad range of topics. It does not only cover Ragnarok but also goes into topics too far from Ragnarok which is good. I also believe that their forum is well arranged and organized.
