First:  Don't believe EVERYTHING you read on the Internet.
Second:  You can install mfc42 using winetricks:

winetricks mfc42  (this will install the VC++ 6 runtime)

Try this in a NEW/CLEAN wineprefix BEFORE installing Ragnarok Online.  
As a matter of position, install ALL of the winetricks fixes BEFORE 
installing the program.

Also, list ALL of the winetricks packages you installed after attempting 
to install the program.

Thank you.
