Tomorrow is maintenance day for Philippine Ragnarok Online which means I’ll be doing the weekly update again. Before doing it though I wanted to get the pulse of the community - and I’m not just talking about Philippine Ragnarok Online.

Gundam 00 is one of the best, if not THE best, anime title I’ve watched for years! The story is just gripping and the action is insane. This has definitely replaced G-Gundam as my personal favorite robot anime (LOL). Anyway, my brother sent me this link of the Gundam 00 cast doing the infamous Caramel [...]

Here are the prices quoted by the Pinoy Tech Blog at the iStudio branch in Bonifacio High Street (The Fort): [...]

The Immortals play a crucial role in helping build the community by acting as enforcers and think tanks for in-game events and promotions.

For the second Waukster Online Guest Blogger, I’ve invited the former Community Manager of Philippine Ragnarok Online and now my fellow Marketing Manager, Mon “GM Tristan” Macutay. It’s funny that we’re colleagues now seeing as we were always clashing in the Ragnaboards during my active days as a player. Anyway, here’s his take on “Why [...]

Valkyrie & Valhalla will get another batch of new cards on March 19 after the regular weekly maintenance. All servers will also get a cool new headgear which really looks like the observer used by Vegeta in Dragonball Z. It actually works like that too - it gives you Sense Level 1 (Mage Skill). Anyway, [...]

CAPCOM has announced a new character for the highly anticipated Street Fighter 4 Fighting Game! This time they’re including a mexican high flyer type in the mix. Yes, he’s like Nacho Libre or Rey Mysterio. Seriously though, the guy’s name is El Fuerte and he really looks kick ass. I don’t think he can stand [...]

We’ve had several new announcements posted on the Philippine Ragnarok Online website since yesterday. First, let me share the good news - all other servers will be on 2x for tomorrow’s stress test as well. That means everyone will be able to enjoy the modifiers even if it’s just for one day. We also have [...]

Since I’m still sick, I’m finding it really hard to constantly update the website. It’s a good thing that I have a lot of blogger friends who were very interested to keep things rolling here at Waukster Online. Over the next week, I’ve scheduled some very familiar names to the Ragnarok Community to do guest [...]

When I was still actively playing Philippine Ragnarok Online in 2003-2006, I was very competitive and always made it a point to have my guild in the forefront of the guild sieges. At the start, quality can compensate for quantity. With the right gear, builds, and strategy, you can easily hold off or invade castles [...]

Part of the things we need to do to make sure that the servers are already okay is to do a stress test this coming weekend. We basically need you guys to log-in on Saturday so we can see if the guild chat delay and the other connectivity bugs were completely fixed and resolved by [...]

As stated in the recent announcement on the website, we’re moving the regular weekly maintenance to tomorrow (Tuesday). The down time is still expected to be the same unless something goes wrong with the top-up maintenance *knocks on wood*. FYI guys, I’ve already warned all the OT people a dozen times since they keep spamming [...]

I’m here right now at the Blas F. Ople Job Fair at the activity center of Robinson’s Galleria. It’s funny that I was just talking about Friendster in my previous post because I bumped into Mike Palacios, the Managing Director of Havoc Digital, the company responsible for the ad sales of Friendster! Anyway, I just [...]

I’m sure that you guys have an account for at least one social networking service. Most likely, it’s Friendster or Multiply. I used to have one for Multiply but I eventually left it because it was hard updating Friendster and this blog already. But lately I’ve been finding it so much fun connecting with old [...]
