This is a bit late, but it can’t be helped because I was really busy the whole day. Other than following up IT and the GM Team every now and then for the maintenance, I was also busy working with the other departments planning the future programs of RO. Despite all the negative comments and [...]
Like what I said in my previous post, an online game is useless if the latency is off. For the past week, the latency of Ragnarok was terrible, mainly because of the sudden surge of players that decided to log-in again and check out the game post-merger. The maintenance today took more time than usual [...]
This is just an advisory, I’ll delete this post tomorrow afternoon. To all Perfect World CBT winners who haven’t received their e-mail yet, please post all your details at my previous Perfect World Wrap-up thread. You can find the thread by clicking HERE. I will get all the details tomorrow (Thursday afternoon), and I’ll send [...]
I think the hottest topic today after the latency problems and the merge would be the dupe item deletion. We announced this earlier during one of the server merge updates and we’ve gotten mixed reactions over it. A lot of players were happy, but at the same time a lot of players were also worried. [...]
Since the Server Merge, we’ve been monitoring the performance of the servers. Over the weekend, I’ve recieved text messages, calls, and e-mails complaining about the latency. This peaked today during siege time wherein players could hardly move due to the crippling lag. I just want to assure everyone that we are aware of the problem. [...]
I just got back from Munting Buhangin, Nasugbo, Batangas. The travel time was a bit longer than usual due to the traffic. Anyway, as promised, I’m here to post an exclusive interview with a top Level-up Officer who has decided to resign. She’s been with LU for so long already and I’m sure everyone here [...]
Hi everyone! Like what I said in my previous post, I wasn’t able to post on Sunday and I probably won’t be able to post on Monday because I’ll be out of town. I was able to write 4 blog posts which you can now read simply by checking the most recents topics. Anyway, before [...]
Since I’ve been reading a lot of compaints lately about the evolved headgears, I tried my best to badger Gravity to give us new content for the Item Mall. Besides the power consumables which I recently posted, I also got them to agree to three new headgear, namely: Drooping Bunny, Devling Hat, and the Nine [...]
International Ragnarok Online (iRO) recently patched Episode 11.1: Rachel on their test servers. During the recent event at Robinson’s Pioneer, several players from various servers were approaching me asking when Rachel will come along. I really can’t give you guys the exact date, but we’re probably looking at an August or September launch (Live Servers). [...]
Ragnarok Online 2 is going to have it’s Korean Open Beta this May. This is definitely big news not just for Korea, but for everyone around the world. This announcement pretty much confirms that Ragnarok Online 2 will launch this year and not 2008. Gravity will also be launching an international marketing campaign to support [...]
I won’t be able to post tomorrow (Monday) because I’ll be out-of-town and I probably won’t have internet access. So I’ll just do multiple posts today just so you guys have a lot of stuff to read. I’ll be covering Ragnarok Online, Ragnarok Online 2, Perfect World, and heck, even Starcraft 2. Yes, you read [...]
It’s 1:25 AM and I actually just got home. After the ROK’OMANIA event at Robinson’s Pioneer, I rushed to Greenbelt 3 to meet up with my girlfriend who was having a get-together with her blockmates from college. Anyway, I’m really tired and my body is literally aching everywhere so I’ll keep this post short. I’ll [...]
It’s 10:45 AM, Saturday. I’m here at the Level-up office preparing for the ROK’OMANIA event which will be held at Robinson’s Pioneer later at around 2PM. I actually have the box of Ragnarok OST’s which we will be selling sometime after lunch. As I’ve said in my earlier post, we will only be selling 40-50 [...]
Since there will be no siege tomorrow, I’d like to invite everyone to head on over to ROK’OMANIA 2007 at Robinson’s Pioneer! It’s the official RWC 2007 Kick-off party and we will be raffling away in-game items, merchandise, and a lot more. There will be a SUMO PORING Tournament wherein the winner gets to take [...]
Initially Waukster Online was a blog that covered the entire MMORPG industry. I was tackling not just the games of Level-up, but even the products of our competitors. However, I eventually decided to narrow the topic to just Ragnarok Online and Ragnarok Online 2, which turned out to be one of the best decisions that [...]
