Gaming: Philippine Ragnarok Online 2 Update!
Since the Level-up Elevation Trade Launch, a lot of gamers and internet cafe owners have been asking me when Ragnarok Online 2 will launch here in the Philippines. I actually had my doubts that we could launch it this year, especially since Gravity is taking such a long time in developing the game. However, for the first time I can confidently say that we will see pRO2 this year! Read on to find out what happened this morning.
The following is a short transcript of my MSN chat with Kay, the Gravity point person for pRO2:
Carlo Ople says:
Would it be possible to get an account for the third closed beta test?
(ç¦)[Kay | ê³ ìŠ¹ì™„] says:
hi, yes I will provide them to you.
(ç¦)[Kay | ê³ ìŠ¹ì™„] says:
I need your office IP so that we can open the ip and you can play
Carlo Ople says:
That’s great! Btw Kay is there any estimate date when we can have the english client? Or will we be the ones to translate?
(ç¦)[Kay | ê³ ìŠ¹ì™„] says:
english client will be provided to you so you don’t have to translated into english.
When you say english client, it means script?
If so, I will contact RO2 team and ask current situation
This means that I’ll be one of the very first pinoy gamers to try out Ragnarok Online 2 (in english too, haha)! I’ll get screenshots and videos so that I can share it here with everyone. The sad news is that we still don’t have a formal launch date. Hopefully I can have that ironed out with Kay this week.

wakekeke sarap talga mag trabaho sa LUG
April 11th, 2007 at 1:31 pm

April 11th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
wauks
waaaa u get to play RO2 thats nice… wat a lucky gamer wakokok wish i could have ur job ahahahaha ^_~
April 11th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
I guess we can all see the resurrection of BlackSmith Waukeen in pRO2 then. ^^V
April 11th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
@ Wauks
Wala na, inggit na ako. Dapat sa mga pangyayari tulad niyan nagpapa-inom na eh.
If that’s the case bro and you’re playing again, reunite natin ang “The Menyeks” (mga laspag na sa MMO - beta players). Laro kami ni Salleh definitely, I dont know about Diwa, haven’t talked to him lately.
When RO2 comes out expect na adeeek uli ako, kahit dalawa na trabaho. yokyokyok
April 11th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
RO2 huh….
by this year ba meaning near mid or near end??
april pa lng naman eh…

Quote ko lang:

ZOMG “you don’t have to Translated”?
hehe… Mr Wauks I think you have another job on your hands…:P
April 11th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
wee gusto ko rin ng beta account!! ahaha!! nkakainggit nman!
April 11th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
PC game po ba to or still console game?
April 11th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
Is it just me or down ang ragnaboards?
eto ang error na nakukuha ko.
There appears to be an error with the database.
April 11th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
Sira nga RB. Abusado kasi mga mods dun.
April 11th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
Sayang walang merch class dun.. un pa naman favorite ku /sob
April 11th, 2007 at 11:08 pm
Nice! Dapat may account din me… otherwise, no PC for you to play in. Wakokokoko
Kidding aside, yup. Am excited to really play and test RO 2 (with Wauks op cors). Great work!
oh btw, kids… If you haven’t seen it yet,
There are RO 2 videos HERE
Thanks for the plug! Ahihihi
*poof*

Also it is said there are tons of quests for RO2 similar to WoW. Why don’t they also make an episode full of quest for pRO and this should make things interesting other than level grinding on monsters all the time…
April 12th, 2007 at 3:49 am
Siguradong Mabubuhay uli mga retired pRO players (Sana)
Bagong buhay sa RO2. Yikes.
KitaKits nalang. I hope we could all see Waukeen again in PRO2.
Revived and better than ever. Asthig.
April 12th, 2007 at 8:57 am
@ GM T
Awwwwww… mauuna kayo. huhu. Balitaan niyo nalang kami. *goes to a corner and sobs*
April 12th, 2007 at 9:37 am
daya wah… keep on blogging~ sobrang informative ang blog mo imo~ much more interesting than Ragnaboards~
April 12th, 2007 at 10:00 am
may blacksmith bang job sa RO2?
sir wauks I think you should learn korean (impress the korean dev team klang klang +1 mwahahaha)
April 12th, 2007 at 10:06 am
I have no idea why even their international professionals are finding it hard to speak english. Heck, my brothers and I even encountered a korean noodle product that had the “Cooking Instrustions” title translated as “Edibility Method”. Oh boy.
April 12th, 2007 at 10:10 am
boo..!! hehe.. magquit nlng ako pRO ng maaga..
April 12th, 2007 at 11:07 am
if RO2 comes is this the end for pRO?
April 12th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
e pano po ung mga accounts namin sa pRO ngaun?? anu na pong mngyayari dun?? syang naman kung mawawala nalang..ndi ba un pwde ilipat sa ro2???
April 12th, 2007 at 10:04 pm
wahh! sarap nun CBT ng ro2! TPAM i think accounts on pRO will stay on pRO not on pRO2 coz it’s another game…
April 13th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Hi Wartel and maykel,
Level-up will continue to support Ragnarok because it’s the breadwinner and it is still the biggest game in the Philippines. When Ragnarok 2 comes out, I honestly believe that Ragnarok 1 will continue to be a major player in the local gaming scene.
April 14th, 2007 at 1:00 am

April 22nd, 2007 at 9:05 pm
@Wauks

April 24th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Good news to hear. but in the mean time why don’t you provide an online installer for pRO. FYI it’s hard to get CD installers in provinces.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:58 am
35th. That sounds great. Its too bad everything for US version goes through 1 editor before its english translation is approved, so we probably get after philippines.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:13 am
I think english-based RO2 clients will debut (Closed,Open betas) at almost the same time. Btw, our Game Testers have been playing CBT3 since it opened. Ill get screenies and videos from them tomorrow and post here.
May 5th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Pag kakaalam ko late year pa sya lalabas pero beta pa satin yun.
bandang october-January sure ako. and mahirap taas ng requirement sa specs ng pc amp.

May 29th, 2007 at 9:43 pm
If it’s anything like WoW, I just might consider starting on this game. Anyone know if its gonna be mac compatible?

I’m playing kRO2, ansaya saya wooooot! /gg
Sana lang po P2P ito. Ayoko na ng Pay to Level katulad ng Perfect World >:(
October 29th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
flyff graphics? Sure kayo flyff ichura nyan? LOL
Kung ikukumpara nyo siya sa isang game, icompare nyo sa Kingdom Hearts. ^^
October 30th, 2007 at 5:46 pm
I played KRO2 with lvl 20 recruit. I stopped a month ago dahil napaka konti ng players… at hanggan ngayon wla parin 2nd and 3rd race. if they plan on releasing it this year with it’s current state it would be a mistake in my opinion dahil marami pa silang kelangan itupad na promises nila.
October 31st, 2007 at 10:48 pm
paki-email po saken kung kelan po ilulunch yung ro2…excited na ako…wehhhh
March 20th, 2008 at 11:48 pm

April 13th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
err wauks is not the very first….
there are so many private servers around…
and translated in english too… though it is not official.. but the essence of RO2 is still there..
April 26th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Wauks would be one of the first to play on the first official english server. Good for him! Yey! I have been playing RO2 on Korean official server and i’ve been havin a blast. What’s cool about this game now is you can change from any job you want anytime as long as your job lvl is over 5! Character ko ay Swordsman na Magician! hehe!
Btw, kung gusto nyo makita mga available na helmets sa RO2, meron ako sa blog ko. click nyo lang ang name ko Ragnarok2SeaGamers sa taas. hehe.
Tnx sa plug sir wauks!
