Eversince we announced Ragnarok Online’s free server, Valkyrie, we’ve been swamped with questions from the local gaming community and our good friends from the media.

It’s really been sometime now since we’ve added more items in the HyperMart for Philippine Ragnarok Online. We’ve decided to spice things up a bit more by adding three new premium headgear for sale starting today, September 27, 2007, after maintenance. One of the new headgear really reminds me of Naruto because it’s literally the [...]
A lot of people are expecting Apple to make millions when the iTouch finally goes on sale this October. I’m still thinking if I’ll buy one for myself but the fact of the matter is that it’s kinda too pricey. At the end of the day it’s just a portable media player and if I’ll [...]
