Kapanlagi.com - Does anyone still remember the game Ragnarok Online? This game can be considered as the pioneer of the first MMORPG in Indonesia. In the early 2000s, the popularity of this game was extraordinary in Indonesia.
Over time, Gravity, the company that oversees RO, has continued to release updates and various sequels to the original game. However, recently they introduced their latest server with a Classic theme, where all systems will return to the way they were in the old days.
The main mission is, of course, to invite gamers to reminisce together, experience thrilling adventures in the world of Rune Midgard, and listen to the memorable theme songs from each city. This server was officially launched on December 5, 2024.
Interestingly, Gravity also invited the popular rock band, J-Rocks, to collaborate. What is the concept like? Check out the review below..
1. Double Nostalgia

In this collaborative project, J-Rocks was appointed to reinterpret the legendary song Wanna Be Free as the original soundtrack (OST) for Ragnarok Online Classic, bringing a fresh new vibe while still maintaining its classic essence.
The song Wanna Be Free was originally created by South Korean composer Lee Seock-Jin as the iconic background music for Ragnarok Online. Now, in conjunction with the launch of Ragnarok Classic on December 5, 2024, Gravity Game Link has partnered with J-Rocks to rearrange the song. This project aims to revive beautiful memories for long-time fans while also introducing this work to a new generation.
"The graphics and gameplay of Ragnarok Classic are designed to be identical to the original version from 2003. Combined with J-Rocks, who also started their music career in the same era, this collaboration perfects the nostalgia for loyal players and listeners," said Andi Suryanto, Co-President of PT Gravity Game Link.
2. Traveling Companion J-Rocks

J-Rocks, which has long been known to be close to the gamer community, feels that this project is very special. The process of creating a new version of Wanna Be Free has become a nostalgic moment as well as a challenge to create a song that is relevant to today's audience.
"The Ragnarok game and J-Rocks are like traveling companions. Many of our listeners back then were also Ragnarok players. That's why we are excited to create an Indonesian version of this song so that fans can reminisce together," said Sony, the guitarist of J-Rocks.
3. Raising Themes of Struggle and the Spirit of Never Giving Up
The lyrics of Wanna Be Free raise themes of struggle, freedom, and the spirit of never giving up—a message that is very relevant for both gamers and J-Rocks fans. With a new energetic arrangement, this song is expected to become a symbol of the revival spirit that fits the modern era.
This collaboration not only connects music and games but also creates a strong nostalgia magnet for fans of both cultures.
"We hope this collaboration brings a new spirit while still preserving the beautiful memories of the past," concluded Sony.
