When I said that one of my goals in pRO is to make it more localized and more Pinoy, I wasn’t kidding. We’ve already seen the People Power and Ati-atihan events. Both events are very Filipno, and I’m pretty sure that most of you guys have heard of ‘em. However, it doesn’t stop there! Now [...]
Just when you think RO has run out of insane events, here comes the FULL PORING ALCHEMIST. The event will be implemented on March 28, 2007. We will only activate this on Thor server though and it will only run for 1 week. This is to make sure that it won’t be abused and only [...]
I just sent the e-mail to Gravity confirming our order for the last 400 Memory of Ragnarok OST CDs. Yep, that’s the last 400 copies in the world (LOL). At least I can really say that this thing is a collector’s item. Speaking of the CD, our former Merchandise Manager (now Events and PR) gave [...]
The Biolabs is one of the toughest and most rewarding dungeons in Ragnarok Online. The Ghost Transcendants are really tough, especially if you’re dealing with the MVP types. I remember when I was trying out Thor, I would party up with random people and use my priest and we would try our luck at the [...]
The comment below struck a nerve a bit because of the sell-out angle. Normally I can take the criticisms and turn them into action at Level-up, something that I’ve been very critical of when I was still a player and not part of the company. For this one time though, I will share with all [...]
One of the good things of keeping a public blog is that I can easily get feedback and input from my readers about the upcoming projects that we will be launching. This is also very effective in helping us price the items for the HyperMart. It’s a great way to compliment the FGDs and community [...]
I’ve been thinking about my blog and the direction it’s taking and I have to say that this blog talks about too much stuff, hahaha! Since I’m the Ragnarok Brand Manager, I’ve decided to focus more on Ragnarok (1&2) as well as life here at Level-up Games. I’ll still touch on other games like Perfect [...]
I was browsing through my YM contacts when the status of one of my former guildmates in Ragnarok caught my attention. I clicked on the link and I was really surprised when I saw a self-recorded video of himself covering a song of Duncan Shiek popped up. He really did such a good job and [...]
It’s going to be a really busy year for Philippine Ragnarok Online. We just launched Hugel a few days ago, and we’ve been constantly updating the HyperMart. The Server Merge is just around the corner (April 18) and you guys will be treated to a bunch of new NPC in-game events in just a few [...]
A U.S. federal court has ruled that a 1998 law enacted to protect children from viewing pornography web sites is too restrictive and violates free speech rights.
Yup! You read the title correctly. A US Court just deemed a law that protected kids from pornography illegal. The main arguement is that it violates free speech and [...]
Okono is one of the people who I actually subscribe to in YOUTUBE. I really don’t know much about her but I think he is from Japan (jRO). He was the one who created the Ragnarok Shinobi Battle video. I was going through his videos again just today and I noticed that he also made [...]
Before I forget - I’ll do a quick recap of all the winners of the Perfect World CBT Contests. We’re all set for the CBT on March 28, and I’m sure you guys are excited to try out the game for yourselves. This game has created such a buzz already that I really can’t imagine [...]
The Ragnarok HyperMart will be updated for frequently with the development of new items by Gravity. Just recently, we added the Angeling Hat and the Flying Angel headgears, but we’re seeing a lot more coming up. This is definitely good news not just for the company, but for the players as well because the content [...]
This is inspired by my previous post on Nike Plus. Steve Jobs of Apple really revolutionized the MP3 business and I don’t see any serious challenger coming along anytime soon. Well anyway, late this afternoon I went around the office looking around for the next WTF moment. Sadly, everything was a bit tame. So, inspired [...]
MANILA, Philippines — Nike will launch a line of running shoes equipped with an in-shoe sensor that transfers data onto an iPod portable music player.

This is just insane. It started out with simple armbands that can carry your IPOD while you jog. Now, everyone is jumping in on the MP3/IPOD bandwagon. Nike just created [...]
