One of the projects that we launched was the Midgard Police program in Thor. It’s main goal was to have players police their own ranks and these people have a direct line to the GM/CS Team for reporting. We’ve been getting mixed feedback (good and bad) lately so we’ve called a meeting tonight to set some things right. We’ve also invited all the Forum Moderators of the Ragnaboards to go as well as we discuss the overhaul of the RB. The new Community Manager of Ragnarok will be taking the lead in making sure that the RB gets more TLC in the days to come.
The Midgard Police, on the other hand, will need some restructuring and fine tuning. They’ve been catching bots but it’s not enough to make a dent on the over-all bot population in Thor. Right now we have 10 MPs, and I’m planning on launching another recruitment drive so we can have more people that will patrol Thor. I’ll post the minutes of the meeting either tonight or tomorrow afternoon.
Have a nice weekend everyone!

I hope you guys give Goenitz a good lecture in PROFESSIONALISM. Being a MOD doesn’t give him the right to call anybody “human trash” no matter how much he deserved it.

Good Evening! may i ask what would be the requirements then? i’m interested if ever that happends… thx!
Feyren on June 29, 2007
Napapansin ko lang, nagpapatrol nga yata ang mga MP sa Thor pero parang hindi naman nababan mga botters na nakikita nila. Thats just MY opinion.

Who is the new community manager anyway?
Vanilla Sky on June 29, 2007
I don’t think the problem are the Midgard Police… The problem is the GMs who do the banning. Where are they? No matter how many MPs you get, if the people responsible for actually banning the abusers/ botters are not around or are not doing anything… then everything else is for naught.
Giving the MPs some banning powers might speed up the process; but that also opens the risk of having a chaotic community. Since MPs are not really LUG employees, you can’t really have a control over them. So I believe that MPs shouldn’t be given GM powers (except for tracking/ summoning the bots).
Bottomline is… Have the GMs do their job in banning the violators. We never see that happening. We see the MPs catching the bots, but we don’t see them disappearing at all. You have the list of those violators, now please do something about it.

About sa homunculus bug. I think na laman ko na kung bakit na bbug ung mga homunculus. We experienced it 3 times already. Kaya mejo sanay na. Once naka rest yung homunculus mo (the only thing na mapalabas sya is to use Call Homunculus skill) then nag Homunculus Resu ka may chance na makuha mo ung ibang homunculus na dead na malapit sayo. So ang mang yayari mag hahalo ung nakuha mo and yung sayo. So Skills ng pet mo + stats ng nakuhamong homunculus.
Well theory lang to ah. kasi naalala ko kaya kami na bbug pag resu kami ng resu.
Sorry hindi ako marunong mag private message. dito. And hindi ko alam kung pano to ma bbigay sa lug. Just trying to help. Sorry OT

@ Feyren
- afaik midgard police only get evidence the the suspect is a 100% bot then they’ll going to forward the evidence to their direct contact of GM/CSR
@ ~Syndrome~
- yup agree me kay EvilAsh hindi maganda yang npc na yan! ok lng yn kung nagalaw dpt mron pa ibang idea pra sa mga nka vend
pickey on June 30, 2007
mas magnda nyan may ngbabanty sa isang map ung madalas pag p lvl up tulad s HO o kya dun sa argiope and dami dun kaso alm ko n bkit wal mgwa LUG dhil once inalis nila ang bot whole community ng ragnarok babagsak tulad sa odin dati 2k+ tao tapos nung inalis nila ung bot naging 500 un plng mahahalata mo n kya nilang alisin ang bot diba.ok n rin ung bot kht paano basta wag lng ung un fair tulad ng DUpe o kya nmn ung BUg na maya sa pvp room
famine on June 30, 2007
awtz,,, third party program pa rin ang bot… uu maganda ang police NPC in that way maregulate mga botters… about sa case ng mga vendors eh di exception ang mga nakavend problema ba dun… siguro naman ok lang magbot vend kasi harmless… benta mode lang naman…
the thing is bakit kasi natatakot mga LU pag ala na population… eh di at least legal naman ang game nila if ever… kesa naman matawagan kang bakla… uu BAKLA na nga mga taga LU… ni wala magawa sa mga BOTZ peste…
Memories of Ragnarok on June 30, 2007
MP is not that successful and worst the population of botters are rapidly increasing
that leads to some Thorians to move on.
I think there are favoritism involved since
the culprits are still on the loose and they
didn’t bother at all cause only their harvesters
are involved in botting even it were banned it
won’t stop them on creating new accounts and
start all over again.
For example botter A has one main account and
three harvester accounts I label X, Y, and Z
MP caught X and Y definitely those accounts
get banned. botter A stop botting Z for the
meantime to cooldown but already gained a lot
from X and Y of proportions it harvested.
In the end botter A’s main account which never
been involved in botting is there any chance that it would be banned, from the months have
passed it never occured that a account which
never experienced botting get banned. So in the
end run, it just benefited up to this point.
Another example, multiple number of accounts of
harvester novices dropping harvest guard[1] cards and etc which is picked up by a main account in some rural area. So MP has the
capability on banning the harvester novices
it doesn’t matter to the culprit cause it’s only 5hrs below only each. And he/she won’t
be affected since his/her account never did
bot. So in the end run, it only gain a lot
without being banned.
Another example, during the commotions of
duped problem April-June of 2007 and after the rollback which
happened during March of 2007. Several players
use their main account during that time for
botting, I doubt there’s a way for MP to check
the past to get them banned. By this time they
no longer use their accounts for botting since
they already at 99 or achieved what they want
at this point. So, where’s the justice now then? Even if MP caught the bot’s now several
of those botters already have benefited and
won’t be caught anymore.
I think the duplicate equips/cards and also
consumable items are not yet been eradicated in this server. That’s a fact.
Goodluck in solving the problem escalating in
Thor, I hope you guys would be succesful in
reviving Thor.
Memories of Ragnarok on June 30, 2007
@Post # 5
It’s easy for the botters to pm back at you
using the automessage system.
AFK vendors would be affected by this NPC.
Let’s face it that the Bot Vending are not
that threat although it’s still bot but hopefully there would be a way to caught and
banned them.
Richter on June 30, 2007
@Wauks currently MP is next to useless, wala cla magawa eh, they could only report botters pero gnagawa na po eto ng mga Thor players
10 MP is fine and if they have temp ban powers hihinto na yang botting or kahit papaano mababawasan, lalo na ung mga may account din s bot servers na pumunta sa Thor para manggulo lang, meron na cla 6 bot servers pati sa Thor sumisingit pa /pif
Give them temp ban powers, ung pede cla magban kahit 1 week lang then GM na mag perma ban para nde po cla useless
Noa on June 30, 2007
Good Luck with the meeting and all :no1:
Artemis on June 30, 2007
It’s nice to know na merong MP. Unfotunately di sila maramdaman! Dapat na po-post ang mga nagagawa nila, ang mga botters na naba-ban. Lalo na Thor, madaming botters sa Turtle island, sa payon cave, etc.

@EvilAsh
I don’t call someone human trash for nothing.
If you are hurt by it, you probably did something very wrong. Guilty ika nga. Bakit ka natamaan kung hindi yan para sayo?
What you people need is a big-time boot camp. Mga pasaway kayo (you know who you are), tapos kapag itinuwid kayo pa galit.
I have no regrets about that. Kung ayaw mong tawagin kang ganyan, magpakatino ka.

sir im sorry at parang laging OT comments ko. but its really bugging me that up until now wala paring any sort of update about the RPC WILDCARDS, except for the announcement weeks ago in this blog that there will indeed be an RPC wildcard event.
itutuloy pa po ba? if so when ang most probable starting date? next week po ba? next month? o talgang scrap na?
kahit ballpark figure lang po sana sir. para naman po hindi kami maghintay sa wala.
many thanks.

@26 – hay… yah kya nga me exception, dapat allow botz pero mga vendz na lng… pero at least hindi naman totally cheating mga un. kasi kung vend din lang naman tayo without bot eh AFK pa rin kalalabasan natin… un nga lang mas mababa memory at CPU load pag bot ang gamit… so nakakagawa pa rin tayo ng ibang bagay…
MP? yah dapat me banning powers nga sila…
mga servers totally (TOTALLY) unstable ngayon… peste maglaro… sayang load… sayang din oras… mambabae(manlalake) na lang muna tayo o kaya shot muna mga pardz…

bots are running free in Thor
MPs watching them run free
Population going down
What the final say of LU?
Artemis on July 1, 2007
BTW, I think LU should start thinking about making RO free to play and really bot free kung gusto talaga nilang dumami ang mga naglalaro nito.
famine on July 1, 2007
@Artemis
good suggestion dude… yeah tagal ko na rin suggest yan… go for it
MasterZen on July 1, 2007
Midgard Police should be able to enforce laws and regulations. In essence they shouldnt be just “eyes and ears”. They have no banning powers thats the problem.
LU should give them that. And if the choose to abuse it their power. Their personal identities “and” accounts are accountable.
So discipline the midgard police then theyl discipline the players.
