Like what I said in my earlier post, today is a big day for pRO because we will find out who will represent the Philippines in the Ragnarok World Championships in Seoul, Korea. We have the semi-finals today, and the winners will move on to the finals later tonight. For the first semi-finals match-up, we [...]

Gaming: RWC Saturday Wrap-up

I wasn’t able to give an update anymore yesterday because my internet connection gave up on me. Anyway, here’s the wrap-up for yesterday’s last two matches. One of the favorites for this year is Freya’s Server Champion - NINJA. This guild has been in the tournament for quite a while now and they’ve always been [...]

Gaming: Ragnarok PORING the Destroyer

I was browsing through the various Ragnarok videos in YOUTUBE when I stumbled upon Poring kicking the asses of major characters from various games and anime series. Yeah, you read that right, LOL. Apparently there’s an open source fighting game engine called MUGEN. Various people are developing it and they didn’t forget to include Ragnarok’s [...]

Gaming: Ragnarok Poring Glory Video

Every year, Level-up Games holds the biggest online gaming event at the World Trade Center. At first it was just for Ragnarok players but eventually all the other LU titles had their own tournaments and side activities as well. Last year, more than 15,000 gamers went to the event, which was more than expected given [...]

Gaming: RWC Update - Armada vs Cataclysm

The second match this afternoon was between Armada and Cataclysm. Armada originally hails from Baldur, and they are actually the descendant guild of the 2004 RWC representatives - Rebirth. Through makmak641’s United Chaos effort, Armada was able to win the RWC Wild Card easily. On the other hand we have Cataclysm of Thor. This is [...]

Gaming: RWC Update - Method vs Einjeriar

I was actually going to post the line-ups and strategies of the teams that played earlier but after some thought I’ve decided to postpone that until after the tournament is finished this Sunday. If I post their line-ups and what their main strategies are, then I’d be giving away valuable information to their possible opponents [...]

Let’s take a quick break from the dupe wipe issue for a bit because it pretty much has dominated the content of this blog for the past few weeks.

Gaming: Ragnarok Wipe Compensation (6/22/07)

So much has been happening in Ragnarok Online that it’s driving everyone crazy. I’m not just talking about the community, but also everyone here at Level-up. I can’t really say that we’re past the problem yet, but at least we’re taking the steps to resolve the issue. Let me clarify the compensation for the innocent [...]

Gaming: Ragnarok Dupe Wipe Aftermath

Okay, let’s get down to business guys. I know that a lot of innocent players lost duped items that they bought using hard earned zenny and even traded their own rares. I think this is the first time in Level-up history that the Customer Support ticketing system was literally flooded. To address this concern, we’re [...]

Gaming: Ragnarok Dupe Wipe Update (6/21/07)

Well, I think now most of you see that the wipe was 100% true. Based from the recent text messages, calls, and YMs, it looks like the wipe was really potent because of the complaints flooding our customer support. There have been mixed reactions so far, with majority being happy because of the fair playing [...]

Gaming: Ragnarok Supply Lines Siege Event

Due to the map instability across all servers, we’re going to postpone the scoring of the Agit Lords until next Thursday. We’ve also decided that in order to preserve the economies and safeguards of all the castles, we will be doing an Agit Economy, Ownership, and Safeguard rollback to Tuesday’s status. All servers except for [...]

Blogging in the Philippines has started to grow in the past few years. I can’t really say that it has matured already but it’s definitely starting to make it’s presence felt. Some blogs out there are actually very helpful, and they can even help you in your respective careers, love life, or hell, even straighten [...]

Gaming: Ragnarok Rebirth Bug Advisory

I’m currently having the Ragnarok Community Manager make an official announcement about the rebirth bug that’s been plauging the main servers for the past week. Basically players aren’t able to transcend after reaching 99, and it’s a big problem because the main reason why you level is to transcend and to get all the skills [...]

Gaming: Ragnarok HyperMart New Releases

Before I call it a night I just want to inform everyone that we have three new items in the HyperMart! They were actually available since the servers went up today but the excitement was kinda eclipsed by the fact that we were wiping all the dupes. I actually showed you guys these items in [...]
