They was never really a plan to follow Norse mythology. It was going to be an MMO based on a comic strip and then they went screw that and made their own junk.

Gravity never really followed the comic's storyline and stuff.

Hel probably wasn't used, because RO didn't want to do a woman that was half young, and half old and decaying. =\
There's an NPC named Lady Hel though. She's in The Sign quest.

RAGNAROK ONLINE is korean right?? the term ragnarok originated from norse mythology and refers to a war between gods and evil forces. there is also a ragnarok in korean mythology.... i think
RO is based on a ragnarok influenced by asian cultures.. eg. anime

Ragnarok is norse, NOT korean, and anime has nothing to do with RO except it's art style

Actually Ragnarok Online is based off a manhwa series called Ragnarok, by Myung-jin Lee.
This. The game is loosely based on the crappy manhwa which was loosely based on norse mythology. So any norse themes out there are double washed-out. It has nothing to do with any part of Ragnarok I know.

It has nothing to do with any part of Ragnarok I know. The lack of much norse mythology is because this is what happens: Norse Mythology>Manhwa with 1/10 of the mythology>Game with 1/10 of the manhwa's norse mythology, but It seems gravity will fix the lack of it on the new world

I think they did what most people do when inspired by something - they took *elements* of it. They didn't make the entire game RAGNAROK NORSE LAND OF ODIN AND RUNES AND STUFF ONLINE, they pepper little bits in here and there, taking what they thought could work for them *and* for the world they were creating.
LOL
