Level-up! Games was recently proclaimed the winner for the Lifestyle category of the 10th Philippine Web Awards! I’d personally like to thank everyone who voted for Level-up! Games via the SMS and Online voting. This was really important for the company seeing as one of our competitors keeps on claiming that they’re number 1. What’s [...]
SMART Communications, the leading information technology company in the Philippines, really did a very good job in “branding” the 20th Philippines Ad Congress which was held at the Freeport at Subic. On our way to the venue, there wasn’t a single post, sari-sari store, building, or billboard that didn’t have a SMART: Power to Lead [...]
I’m currently at Subic blogging from the convention hall of the Philippines Ad Congress 2007: New Order. The organizers invited Level-up! to do a talk today sometime around 4:30PM to discuss advertising inside online games. We’ve already seen this done several times and I still think that the Coca Cola campaign was one of the [...]
GAME! Magazine is the only online gaming magazine that’s currently in circulation. They’re being published by HIP (Inq) and we’ve been working with them for the past few months for Level-up LIVE 2007 PR. For their latest issue, it’s really jam packed with content for Philippine Ragnarok Online, Valkyrie Server, Episode 11.1: Rachel, and even [...]
One of the event partners for Level-up! LIVE 2007 was Cosplay dot Ph. Pablo, aka Nethermir, is a good friend of mine and it was really nice to see them help out with the Cause Play booth. Anyway, there are a lot of cosplayers and photographers over at Cosplay dot Ph. They made an album [...]
A few hours ago, the official announcement about Thor was finally posted on the Ragnarok Website. Before I delve into the specifics of the new server, I’ll share with everyone the story behind this latest development. For several months now, Thor’s numbers have dwindled, going down to an average of 35-45 players. This is mainly [...]
Philippine Ragnarok Online gets several updates across all servers this morning! Most of the updates though are focused on the item mall and the server hardware upgrades for Valkyrie. It’s been a very rough week for everyone, and I can’t apologize and thank you enough for the patience and support of the community. Anyway, one [...]
Valkyrie server will have major hardware upgrades but it will also have an update for the Armory of the Gods. Among the new items that we will be adding tomorrow includes the much talked about Gym Pass. There were a lot of good points both for and against the inclusion of this item in the [...]
I’d like to take this opportunity to let you guys know that we are fully aware of the lag/disconnection problem in the Valkyrie Server. We’ve been coordinating with Gravity and we’ve actually tried a lot of fixes already but most of the time these solutions turn out to be short term. During maintenance tomorrow, we [...]
We’ve been constantly updating the Philippine Ragnarok Online Item Mall for the past few months. Most of the stuff we get were actually released before in other countries like Japan, Indonesia, and Russia. If you research well enough, you can get an idea of what other items will be released for selling here in the [...]
I wasn’t able to post much during the weekend because I was out. When I came back on Monday, I was really surprised to see tons of comments left on the Full Poring Alchemist post. Note that I will enforce the Blog Comment Policy. It’s okay to criticize if done in good taste. If you [...]
Various guilds and entrepreneurs sold their merchandise at the Level-up! City booths during the recently concluded Level-up! LIVE 2007. I was personally surprised to find out how creative and industrious today’s youth can be. I saw a lot of themed T-shirts, button pins, keychains, dolls, and more! However, the merchandise that really caught my attention [...]
Philippine Ragnarok Online’s free-to-play server, Valkyrie, will have an in-game event which we activated before in the Thor server. The title of the event is “Full Poring Alchemist”. Anime fanatics would definitely relate the title of this event to the popular anime, “Full Metal Alchemist”. FMA is actually one of my favorite anime of all [...]
Perfect World, one of the most played MMORPG in the Philippines, has a lot of innovative features. One of them is the character customization system which actually lets you mold and shape the face of your avatar! You can really look like anyone you want - be it a celebrity like Angelina Jolie or even [...]
Philippine Ragnarok Online’s latest episode, Veins, will be uploaded on November 21, 2007 on Sakray. There are dozens of new cards, maps, monsters, MVPs, and items that will be released.
