Gaming: Ragnarok 4 Slots Update
Today was one of the most frustrating days ever in my stay at Level-up Games. As most of you know, we announced that the additional 4 character slots would be applied today. This was announced in this blog and it was also announced in the official Ragnarok Online Website. Before we posted the announcement, we verified this with Gravity via a verbal conversation and even through e-mail. I got a call from the GM Team around 1:50PM saying that there were some unforeseen technical difficulties that Gravity bumped into. At around 2:30PM, I got a text message saying that the slots wouldn’t be implemented anymore. OH HELL NO!!!
That problem on top of everything else that I needed to do today kinda made Wauks a very cranky person for the entire afternoon. I’d like to apologize to the people that I ignored in YM and Cell. It was a really tough day and I needed to concentrate on work. Anyway, we pushed Gravity till the very ends of the earth to get the 4 slots implemented. Sadly they need more time to set it up for Thor, Urdr, and Sakray. I’ve already requested for the EXP compensation to start next week. If they don’t approve, I will go berserk mode, Rar. On a side note, thanks to GM Tristan for helping me out today. He helped out with the announcements and the coordination while I worked on other projects.
Apologies for the extended downtime earlier guys. Enjoy the additional 4 slots!

Wee, lol mainit ulo ni wauks.. cool down ka muna
June 7th, 2007 at 8:34 pm
sir wauks dba sabi pag lumampas 1 hr ung maintenance mag kakaron exp mod? bakit po wala? or sa next week pa ung exp mod na sinasabi? paki clarify po.. tenks
June 7th, 2007 at 8:36 pm
OK na yun at least natupad yung pangako niyong additional slots this day.. Thanks anyway for the effort..
June 7th, 2007 at 8:40 pm
wauks thank you very much for the 4 slots ! i love you :D
June 7th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
kasama ba baldur sa mod exp? hehe
June 7th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
modified nmn sir wauks kasi dba lagpas na sa time tska mas gusto pa nmn ung modified exp kesa another slot meron nga slot x1 naman aw!! further notice nlng sana hindi after 30 or 1hr kasi dami hoping mag ka modified ngayun hope u understand tsaka ang haba ng time ng maintenance swt.. salamat po
June 7th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
kuya wauks… i believe all of the server’s should have the compensasion of extra exp raise because the said server maintenance keeps on extending end extending, this should not only apply only in sakray, urdr and thor… plus the chaos, odin and sarah people hadnt have the compensation about our name change… so all need the same compensation that will be given to the server’s that level up is planning to give… i hope level up will give considerations to all server’s especially and i hope the compensation that will be given will be HIGH. i hope my post will be considered.
June 7th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
poor urdr… my server is always left behind by the commercial… as all of you should know, my server has the 2nd lowest pop. in pRO or if not the lowest…

June 7th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
chief sowe kung OT, we know you are exhausted and frustrated, but we feel that this is the only immediate way we can communicate our thing with Tyr’s Siege kanina.
DC and nasira ang maps ng Al De and Payon agits for almost 30mins.
Nagawa sya few mins na lang before matapos ang siege!
di po ba dapat ma null and void ang siege pag ganun? nasira lahat ng diskarte at di naka OL agad mga players to defend or attack.
June 7th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
rar..kelangan tlga me ganun hehe
June 7th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
*walks by and sees Wauks out like a light*
2,4,6,8,10. KO! He’s out of here…
Something’s really wrong with their system… Either way good luck to that na lang dyan…
June 7th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
RawR, sira nanaman maps sa luina, at dahil dun di kami nakapasok sa top 4 ng server namin. What a great way to lose. SHET. FREYA = SIRA LAGI MAPS TUWING SIEGE.
June 7th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
sana may mod exp po..kasi sayang din ung exp namin sa tagal at hirap makaconnect kanina…at tyka kala ko po b kpag lumagpas ng 1hr ung pag lalagay ng +4 slots…may mod exp??

Many thanks for everything.
June 7th, 2007 at 11:14 pm
GM, i really nid your help with this one. i just bought a Gr card earlier before your emergency maintenance to give us the 4 more character slots. I traded with Hal14 a sniper under server baldur and mine K-A-T-P-I-N-G a sniper also. i bought his card 190m which is fair. Our transaction was completed and at first it looks okay. i saw my GR card from my inventory. and then i tranfer it to my other account katping2 a blacksmith using kafra. then, you had your emergency server maintenance. And now it’s online and available i checked my character quickly since i have heard of the dupe items. As I check, i got so upset because i don’t see the GR card in my cart. Please do help me with this one. I really never thought that playing ragnarok now is not safe anymore from this kind of cheating. and this is not fair because i am playing patiently as others also. I hope i can have positive response. thanks for the 4 more slots.

June 7th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
[...] EXP and DROP mod compensation if they are not able to do it. To tell you the truth, Waukeen was a wee bit irritated by this. I don’t blame the guy. He has a lot of stress as it is in trying to fix the game and of [...]

wauks, you never answered this part of the question i asked in your weekly update post.
ok, so it’s character transfer. but what of the items in kafra and game time? will they be up for transfer as well? or will it be a carry-what-your-characters-can thing?

June 8th, 2007 at 5:26 am
@Wauks
wooot DOWN ang FREYA ang dadaya naman…
June 8th, 2007 at 7:42 am
@WAUKS
Kala ko po ba thursday maintenance address yung downed maps at disconnection issues sa FREYA?
Kagabi pag up palang po ng server sira agad COMODO. Tapos last 20 minutes ng siege sumabog ang LUINA at BRIT. Stuck characters ng guild namin.
Ganda ng siege namin kagabi. Organized na organized ang attack. Tapos dahil lang sa sirang mapa wala kaming agit. P*%@(%!&!
Down pa yung server ng 3 AM kanina. Ano ba nangyayari? Pakilipat nalang characters ko sa baldur. Mukang tama yung sinasabi ng karamihan e.
June 8th, 2007 at 7:57 am
Hereis my list of complaints/questions na di naayos ng pagkahaba-habang maintenance, medyo OT, pero really need some answers
1.Ang maintenance ba sa Thor for the added 4 slots ay thursday or wednesday?
2. Kailan maaayos/babalik ang mail system? My Field manual is still stuck there.
3. Maaayos na ba ang lag at dc issues sa Thor sa last 10 minutes ng siege? (400-500 lang kami, tindi pa rin ng lag at DC)
4. What really happenned sa RB? Na hack? RB pa naman ang source ko ng latest info sa RO.

Just read about the news and may I ask what are you talking about when you say Noghaltz? Noghaltz is composed of 4 maps (Hu_fild01 aka Thanatos Tower, yuno_fild06,hu_fild04, hu_fild05 aka Abyss Lake). What then? The participants can just wander anywhere in that map? Keep in mind there are some maps that are PK enabled in that area for Urdr
June 8th, 2007 at 8:09 am
sir,sana ma roll back ang agit standing..stauck lahat ng chars namin sa luina..sayang..1 point lng lamang samin ng #4 sa agit standing..kung alam lang naming masisira ang luina, sa valk na lang sana kami..sayang kasi talaga..freya server po ako..
June 8th, 2007 at 8:21 am
Wauks
bakit naman ganun ang WoE kagabi sa TYR cra ang Alde Castle ganda pa naman ng def namin tapos nung naayus pagbalik namin iba na may ari? RWC Agit lords pinag uusapan dun tapos palpak? Ano bang ibig sabhin ng Server Optimization n ginawa kahapon? sana ulitin yung last Chance WoE sa Tyr Nakakabwisit e ganda pa naman ng plans namin Rush Atk and Def Successful naman pero nung nacra tae na wala na nag c pag log outan n mga kasama namin dahil they’re expecting na ma vovoid yung WoE because of that tech problem saka its very Unfair din n natrap ang karamihan sa amin
wag na po kaung magtaka kung sa kalaunan o pagkatapos ng RPC o kahit d p tapos e MAg Quit n Members ng Odin Guild
WE ARE VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED
June 8th, 2007 at 9:26 am
HHMM… So pano nyo nmn p0 ipapaliwanag ung mga nawaalng items bago mag down ung servers 2 give way 2 the addtional 4 slots. I bought an item just after the maintenance with an announcement that the character slot will be nullified because of technical problems.Me knowing that there will be no more disconnections, bought an item…few minuets after buying server were down again saying that they are giving way to the 4 add 4 slots again, yeah the 4 slots were added but the item I bought before being disconnected was gone including the money….I already filed several tickets with screen shots hence there were no replies…
PLz any one help me and my fellow gamerz…
June 8th, 2007 at 9:51 am
DAPAT I-DISREGARD YUNG WOE KAGABI. Last day yun ng scoring for the top 4 slots pang RWC server rep tapos sira ang maps.
Stuck ang characters grabe! Buti sana kung di kami naghahabol sa standings. Kung titingnan nyo ang standings sa FREYA dikit-dikit. Dahil sa nangyari kagabi na BRIT AND LUINA ang bumagsak andaming guilds na na-stuck.
Nawalan ng agit yung mga naghahabol sa points. Sobrang unfair.
June 8th, 2007 at 10:42 am
WEeeeeeeeeeeeeee Chardy lagi taung pareho ng probs and Complaints hehe
June 8th, 2007 at 11:18 am
Pa check pow STANDINGS sa TYR mali ata counting dpat ONS pasok….
June 8th, 2007 at 11:49 am
sir wauks sira po freya kgabe and also during siege sira mga maps..ano ba yan unfair tlga sa mga naghahabol sa standing para sa agitlord sana may compensation
June 8th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
Sir ung mail NPC sa RO sira pa rin, as well ung auction system, more than 2 weeks ng cra yun, may mga naiwan pa nmn aqng gamit dun
June 8th, 2007 at 1:10 pm
grabe ang babaho nyu….
June 8th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Maintenance went down past 7pm.
It’s the last siege for RWC Agit Lord scoring at 8pm.
Lag and disconnection is here to stay.
hmm will someone quote these, for greater justice?
Suggest lang din po, sana next time can you include the time in your announcement in http://www.ragnarok.ph. I’m sure you have some clock there somewhere.
June 8th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
i said i’d keep posting this question until it gets answered, so i will….
ok, so it’s character transfer. but what of the items in kafra and game time? will they be up for transfer as well? or will it be a carry-what-your-characters-can thing?
June 8th, 2007 at 3:11 pm
@keres
Sorry I didn’t read your post kasi usually nasa middle ka eh andami comment.
It will be a carry-what-you-can thing. I’ll confirm by next Tuesday.
