The Ragnarok 2 Wallpaper Contest is a few days away from the final deadline! As stated in the mechanics, we will close accepting of submissions on August 31, 2007 and we’ll announce the winners the day after. I’ve already received some entrees and they’re really great! I’d like to call on all the Ragnarok 2 [...]
The Philippines Online Gaming industry is quickly evolving with every day that passes. As I mentioned in an earlier post, RF Online, the only sci-fi MMORPG in the Philippines, is going Free-to-Play. There are numerous rumors going around on why it changed business models but you’d be surprised to find out that the F2P Business [...]
Level-up Games decided to up the ante in the Free-to-play MMORPG market when they introduced Perfect World to the local gaming community. Perfect World continues to grow with each day and I really won’t be surprised if it becomes one of the biggest MMORPGs in the Philippines. The game has a lot of potential, especially [...]
300 was definitely one of the biggest movies this year. I can’t count how many characters in Ragnarok you’ll see named “Leonidas” even if they are Snipers. The movie has inspired guild leaders to make their own guild laws and values - and I bet you’ll see a guild named “Spartans” in almost all of [...]
Neon Genesis Evangelion still remains to be one of my favorite anime series even if I really didn’t understand the ending and most of the animation sequences were non-moving characters with tons of talk. Remember Gendo giving 3-5 minute speeches while both of his hands covered his mouth? I don’t know why but I was [...]
I’m a regular reader of Jayvee Ferndandez’s blog and I was really surprised to read about the rigging of the popular noontime show - Wowowee. Willie Revilame really has a knack for getting himself and his shows in trouble, and while I’m really not that angry about the so-called rigging, this incident is bound to [...]
Ragnarok 2 features a lot of areas and maps that grown familiar with in Ragnarok Online. The developers of the game made sure to tie-in the rich history and resources of the first game to the sequel because not only does it become nostalgic to former players, it also adds depth to the story line [...]
A few months ago I posted some gaming-related job opportunities outside of Level-up Games. There was actually a piloting job that people can take for games like World of Warcraft. Sadly, this company closed already (Game Pal) and from the feedback I got from some of the readers of this blog, that company was really [...]
Philippine Ragnarok Online made a huge statement in Seoul, Korea, when we defeated Indonesia, Brazil, and Germany to land third place in the Ragnarok World Championships. It’s a testament to the fact that Philippine Gamers are really a force to be reckoned with, especially if we put our minds into it. If ever there will [...]
Other than Naruto Shippuuden and Claymore, I’ve added Bleach to the list of anime titles that I’ll try to discuss here at Waukster Online. The content of this blog is surely mutating with every week that passes, hehe. But I guess I really can’t avoid it since I really do love watching anime and playing [...]
Naruto and other anime titles have developed a big following here in the Philippines. There’s definitely a japanese sub culture that has slowly grown through the years. Proof of this would be the appearance of several anime-only channels such as Hero TV and Animax. I’ve been surfing through some cosplay pictures on the net and [...]
First, let me apologize to everyone who has been affected by this problem. I know that it’s frustrating not being able to log-in to your favorite MMORPG and if only I had the power to fix this myself, I would have dedicated most, if not all, of my work time to solve this. Fortunately, I [...]
The most successful MMORPG in the country, Philippine Ragnarok Online, will get another update when we finally open the gates of Episode 11.1: Rachel! The RO Team is still finalizing the date but it will probably go live either September 5 or 12. There are a lot of new features that Rachel will bring and [...]
Naruto Shippuuden finally redeemed itself from previous crappy and slow paced episodes with this one! Naruto Shippuuden 26 is intense, fast-paced, and definitely action packed! Episode 24 and 25 both fail in comparison to the quality of the content we get this time. If you guys remember, episode 24 really sucked because of the lazy [...]
I spent the last weekend with my girlfriend and her high school friends in one of the most stunning local tourist spots in the country - Caylabne Beach Resort in Cavite. It was a really good chance for me to unwind, especially since the past few weeks have been very stressful because we’ve been all [...]
