Gaming: pRO Update (6/18/07)
Before I call it a day tonight I just wanted to put up one more update based on your comments and the feedback I’ve been getting through Yahoo Messenger and even through SMS. The most relevant issue is definitely still the duplication exploit. Also pending are the RWC videos of the other servers. If you check one of my recent posts you’ll find that the Freya Server Championship is already posted. Another topic that also needs to be discussed is the Lag/DC problem for Freya and especially for our Bayantel users. There are more questions that need to be answered but these are the most crucial at the moment (save for the RWC vidoes). I’ll discuss the other topics that you guys raised within the week. For now, let’s take on the ones that I mentioned.
Let’s get the easy one out of the way first. The Ragnarok World Championship videos were already edited but there was a problem with the original format and we find ourselves in a very weird position because YOUTUBE won’t upload the damned videos. The one you saw in Freya was actually a re-edited version and we’re in the process of re-editing everything. The good news is that our editor promised to deliver most, if not all of the videos, by Wednesday afternoon. That means that I can post some of the matches tomorrow evening.
Next, we move on to the dupe exploit. We’ve been waiting for Gravity to give us the script so that we can finally do the wipe. I’ve been told that it should come around for testing within the next few days. As much as I would love to share the testing dates with everyone, I’d rather not because I’m only going to announce it if it is already 100% sure and I’ve seen it with my own eyes. What are we doing until the script gets fixed? We’re currently investigating a lot of accounts - including dupers from servers other than Freya. We’ve already gone as far as Baldur but we’re not yet at a 100%. Thanks to everyone who sent in tickets and e-mails with their suspects. Most of the time your tips gave us direction on where to look and what trail to follow. If you get banned and you want to contest, you can file a ticket so that the GM Team can produce the necessary evidence to show you what was the exact problem.
Lastly, about the Freya lag and disconneciton, we already have a plan and we’re going to implement it this maintenance. This will hopefully address the Freya latency. With regards to Bayantel users, our IT Head is already going to talk to Bayantel again so that the issue can be finally resolved and put to rest for good.
That’s it for now. I’ll post updates again tomorrow. I’ll be busy tonight preparing some presentations for a few meetings tomorrow. Oh yeah, I get a bodyguard this week. Apparently the LU Management is getting concerned about the dupe-related death threats. I feel so VIP, hehe XD
FYI: Please answer the short survey I’m running by clicking HERE. It’s basically about Ragnarok and it won’t take up much of your time.

Baldur is now up after a couple of hours of down time but the Prontera lag is still there. I caught a glimpse of GM Jibrielle walking around Pront before she went on invisible mode. Hopefully she’ll be able to address the lag problem to the LUG IT team

June 18th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
@wauks
what about the REBIRTH BUG or the BUG BOOK OF YMIR? di n nga makapag pa rebirth dahil dun. It’s either high novice lng at di maka 1st high class or 1st high class lng at hindi na makapag pa 2nd advanced class. Hindi nyo man lng binasa un mga posts ng nagrereklamo about that BUG…
June 18th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
Death Threats? Haha grabe. so babaw. Mga squaqua lang yan, anyway ingat.
June 18th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
REBIRTH BUG or BOOK OF YMIR BUG happened in relation with the rollbacks, June 12 on all servers and June 14 Freya. dahil sa rollbacks, na BUG ung mga nagpa rebirh lets say June 13 or June 15 dahil na rollback un pag uusap nila sa rebirth NPCs. Come On! pansinin nyo nmn un ISSUE na to… marami ring nagsusuffer dahil kht update lng about it eh wala pa. And YES nag file n kmi ng tickets sa cust care pero kht reply wala pa rin…

June 18th, 2007 at 10:21 pm
Sir Wauks
Kelan po ibabalik Auction and Mail Service?
Update na rin po sa partial implementation ng GTB. Thanks
June 18th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
I’ll post another update about the queries you guys leave here tonight. So far I’m seeing the following issues:
1. Auction Mail Service
2. GTB
3. Baldur Book of Ymir/Rebirth Bug
June 18th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
according to a classmate using Bayantel playing pRF, his connection is supposed to be laggy and/or intermitent as well, so it’s not an RO only connection problem…
either that or its an isolated case…
ano meron sa GTB? reactivation? reactivation in PvM? payback kay HW kathyrine >=)
June 18th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
LOL @ the bodyguard.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
Wag nyo na ibalik ang auction house at mail system…yung auction house ay ginawang taguan ng mga duper namang malaman nilang magkaka-rollback…yung mail system naman ay ginagamit ng mga botter sa Hugel monster race para mapadali ang pag-iipon ng medals.
Saka delete nyo pa lahat ng GTB…majority naman ng mga yan ay galing sa “tried & tested supplier;” at saka sa dupe.
June 18th, 2007 at 11:12 pm
@Decikator
aww… hindi po lahat ng boss cards galing divisoria…

Waukeen Baka naman me UPDATE KAU ABOUT TRANSCENDING BUG yung sa Book of Ymir pag HIGH JOB KA NA please lang!
June 19th, 2007 at 12:44 am
pano ang waukster kung wala na si wauks…nakakairita naman yang death threat…sino ka ba ha masyado kang affected iiyak mo nalang yan …cge ka mumultuhin ka ni sir wauks pag ginawa mo yan…*knock* *knock* *knock*….hehe somehow i feel relieved after all the issues baldur had gone through…most of the dupers now are threatened because rumors say that dupers are consist of players who are at the top emperium agits although most say rumors are rumors but hey rumors always has high chances of being true..and dupers now is your time to redeem, its not yet too late… vanguards might forgive you.. surrender now…and i think you will have the privilege of having a lawyer on your side wahahahaha!!! thats all…the best of luck to the game masters who are trying to work nonstop for this game not to lose its integrity hehehe…:D

June 19th, 2007 at 5:26 am
- hindi po ba magkakaroon ng zeny rollback sa freya server?
June 19th, 2007 at 5:26 am
@wauks
d lang po sa baldur ung book of ymir bug. Lhat ng server coz of the rollback esepcially FREYA coz 2x nagrollback. PLS address this issue asap and i dont believe that weekly maintenance will fix this bug coz its an error of the database na.
June 19th, 2007 at 7:43 am
Some problems need to be fixed after
resolving the duped issue
1. Zeny should be included in the recent rollback.
2. Other illegal sources of very expensive equips/cards besides duped. Example Fenrir
server last 2004-2005.
3. Bot Famine in Speed Potion NPC
4. Bot Famine in some MVP areas
5. Tremedous increase of bot in Thor as of March of 2007, after the Jan 31,2007 rollback.
Thus, Thor no longer a bot free server.
6. Lag cause by 3rd party programs during woe.
June 19th, 2007 at 7:53 am
@wauks
rebirth bug/book of ymir bug indi lng poh sa BALDUR un. Meron rin sa FREYA at TYR. Sana nmn after maintenance nyo OK na un pra makapag 2nd advanced Class n kmi…
salamat poh at nabasa mo n rin un sinasabi nmn…

The Freya video is VERY blurry and hard to see. Possible to make it a file to save to your pc so you can watch on Windows Media or something?
