Batman VS Sub-Zero

No, this isn’t some sick April Fool’s joke. Apparently DC Comics struck a deal with Midway to develop a game that will involve DC Comics characters fighting against the Mortal Combat stable. Yes - we will see Batman take on Sub-Zero. Now this… this is really weird.

Mortal Kombat faces off with the DC Universe. [...]

Special Interview: Ric Laig, LU CFO/HR Director

Today I’ll be publishing the interview I recently had with the Finance and Human Resources Director of Level Up Games, Richard Laig. Ric, as we call him, is one of the best things that happened to Level Up Games. We used to have lots of HR problems and it’s good that we have him on [...]

Philippine Ragnarok Online Weekly Update (4/16/08) [Updated]

Please note that the maintenance for Philippine Ragnarok Online STARTS TONIGHT at 12 midnight. All servers will be brought down in order to facilitate a worry-free Urdr-Tyr merger which was announced last week. Again, let me repeat - ALL SERVERS will be down until noon time.

World of Warcraft Action Figures

I was at Greenhills last night shopping around for some stuff to decorate my office with. I was initially looking for some posters but I ended up buying World of Warcraft action figures (LOL). I passed by DataBlitz and saw an Orc Shaman action figure and I suddenly found myself paying for it in a [...]

Ragnarok’ing Weekend

The past weekend was very busy and it involved mostly player-sponsored real life events for Philippine Ragnarok Online. I attended two Eye Ball parties and one birthday party. Talk about having a busy calendar! Newly promoted Community Manager GM Chastity also came to one of the EB’s. Anyway, I wasn’t able to take pictures of [...]

Perfect World New Wallpapers

I was browsing through MMOSITE when I found these two really nice looking Perfect World Wallpapers. If I’m not mistaken, these wallpapers were made and distributed in Japan. Maybe we should have more art contests here in the Philippines? I’ll seriously ask the other people here in the office if they can do that for [...]

TYR-URDR Merge Confirmed

Last week, the Ragnarok Team had a community meeting to discuss the upcoming Ragnarok Philippine Championships. After the meeting, the Community Managers had a short discussion with the guild leaders of Tyr and Urdr to discuss the possibility of a server merge. This information was leaked to the forums and a lot of people have [...]

Bleach Ep. 166 Review

Bleach, one of my favorite anime titles, released episode 166 last night and it was an amazing episode! It was 99% action as Ichigo, wearing his hollow mask, finally faced off against the Espada released form of Grimmjow. The battle was really intense, and it the animation and soundtrack was just superb. In fact, the [...]

Dusk Palace Curse Event

As posted on the Level Up Website, we’re gunning for the launch of the new patch this April. I can’t give a date yet since we’re really not yet 100% sure on what week we can release it but we’re confident that it will go live this month. To further promote the patch, the GM [...]

New Premium Headgear & Top-up Rewards

Instead of updating the weekly update that I posted last night, I’ll just make a new post since I have a lot of topics to discuss. Editing the previous post will just make it look messy, hehe. Anyway, I’m sorry I wasn’t to post this afternoon. There were several meetings that I couldn’t afford to [...]
