Ragnarok Valkyrie Bot Problem and Subscription Server EXP Drought

I’ve been reading through the comments posted here at Waukster Online about the current state of Philippine Ragnarok Online and I’d like to take this chance to address some issues. I understand that some of you aren’t able to read my replies in some of the posts so the best way to talk about stuff [...]

Ateneo De Manila University to Offer Game Development Course

Ateneo De Manila University, one of the premiere colleges in the Philippines, is seriously considering offering a Game Development Course. I was shocked myself when I heard about this but you can’t really ignore the growing global demand for games - and I’m not just talking about the online games that we’re used to here [...]

Philippine Ragnarok Online Weekly Update (7/31/07)

Today’s maintenance day which means that I post the weekly update for Philippine Ragnarok Online. We have so many things happening that it’s actually overwhelming to talk about all of them! For all servers, we have two NPC-based events - the Halloween Quest Events and the Beer Festival Events. The Beer Festival is a bit [...]

Ragnarok Valkyrie Ninja Item Mall Update

Philippine Ragnarok Online’s free-to-play server, Valkyrie, gets item mall udpates for both Gunslingers and Ninjas this coming maintenance. I’ve already posted about the new weapons that will be available for Gunslingers, and now I’d like to share with everyone the weapons for Ninjas which will also be released tomorrow after maintenance. While I was going [...]

Philippine Ragnarok Online Halloween Event

Philippine Ragnarok Online celebrates Halloween this year with a special Halloween in-game event! It’s been tradition for Ragnarok Online to celebrate major holidays like this one with special NPC-based in-game events. This year, we have several Halloween events that gamers can take. I’ll only discuss one of them today and that’s the Festival Pumpkin Hat [...]

Ragnarok Valkyrie Item Mall Gunslinger Update

Philippine Ragnarok Online added the Gunslinger and Ninja job classes in Episode XIV: Hugel. I honestly believe that both these classes are underrated and they can both be huge forces to reckon with in WoE, PVP, and PVM. I’m sure that Valkyrie players have encountered Ninjas and Orc Village already and you’ll agree with me [...]

Philippine Ragnarok Online Episode 11.2: Veins

Last September, Philippine Ragnarok Online patched Episode 11.1: Rachel. We’re currently preparing for the next major patch which is Episode 11.2: Veins (Beinz). I’ve been going through the developer notes for the next patch and it looks like that 11.2 will again change the meta game of Philippine Ragnarok Online. There are so many new [...]

Level-up LIVE 2007 Film Festival: Real Life Online

We’re only a few days away from the biggest online gaming event in the Philippines: Level-up LIVE 2007! Most of the deadlines of the various side activities have already lapsed and this includes the Level-up Film Festival. I found this video in GM Tristan’s blog and I’d like to share it with everyone here at [...]

Ragnarok Valkyrie Server New Equipment (10/31/07)

Philippine Ragnarok Online’s free-to-play server, Valkyrie, gets a major update again this Wednesday for the Armory of the Gods. I’ve already revealed that we will be releasing the Pharoah MVP Boss Card in my previous post. This will replace the Moonlight Flower MVP Boss Card. Other than the Pharoah Card, we will also be releasing [...]

Ragnarok Valkyrie Server: Pharoah Card

Leveling is a drag especially if you rely heavily on SP-based skills. It’s really sad sitting down waiting for your SP to recover, hehe. I remember during the Beta days, Blacksmiths didn’t have enough SP to be constantly on Power Thrust and Adrenaline Rush. We’d have like three to five bursts and I’d have to [...]
