Gaming: Ragnarok Online Update 4.25.07

I just came back from meeting with representatives from the Sakray contenders - Method and Midgard Rebellion. RPC is Sakray is really intense, and you could feel the tension in the room. I’ll be posting the transcript of their interviews soon Anyway, tomorrow is Wednesday again which means it’s update day. We will be adding a new item to the HyperMart and I’d like to thank everyone for pitching in the discussion during the sneak peek post. And the item that will debut tomorrow in the item mall is… *drum roll*

ITEM MALL UPDATE

MINI-PROPELLER
fwefwefw
Abilities: AGI + 2, DEX + 1, flee + 10, and casting time decreases depending on how well the armor is refined”
Price: 10,000 Rok Points (500 PHP) - introductory, will increase to 14,000 RP after two weeks.

ITEM MALL STUFF NOW TRADABLE

Gravity just gave us a patch that makes the following items tradable/vendable/droppable starting tomorrow:

- Evolved Pipe
- Evolved Orc Hero Helm
- Mini Propeller

Can only be traded when still inside the box (once the box is opened, contents cannot be traded):

- Field Manual
- Bubblegum
- Life Insurance
- Kafra Card
- Giant Fly Wing
- Convex Mirror
- Enriched Elunium

ELUNIUM SALE
As suggested by one of the posters here, we’re going to continue the sale of the Blessed Elunium. You will be able to buy it for 1,000 Rok Points instead of the usual 2,000. The exclusive Chaos server sale will be pushed to the following week because Gravity is still sorting out some minor problems with the servers.

With regards to the Game Time compensation (Chaos), I’ll know for sure by tomorrow (Wednesday). However, the 3x EXP for Chaos will kick-in tomorrow and will last until May 2. I can also give the Server Merge update by tomorrow evening. I was supposed to do that today but something came up that needed immediate attention. My apologies to all those who are expecting to read more on the merge today.

I’ll post again later tonight when I get home. I have a bunch of updates and issues I want to discuss with everyone (Item Mall, RPC 2007, etc.).

Cheers!

  5. @Waukeen: I will ask some members of MR what happened, and I do feel that there was indeed a tension going on between those two guilds, specially if a person by the name of *cough*Katsudon*cough* and is in that meeting.


  6. actually that sux i bought that evo OHH and pipe just bcoz it suits the needs of my sinx and its locked to my accnt darn~ its a lot better to be locked to protect it from hackers hayzzzzzz


  7. sir waukeen,

    Bakit po parami ng parami pa rin ang nasisirang maps sa chaos? Sa ngayon, sira ang mga maps ng prontera, alde, comodo, einbroch and juno. sob


  8. bakit po down ang sakray… 611 players nmn ung naka log in… sob


  9. Thor is down sob2 Players started getting DC ‘d during the siege na ang tindi ng lag! Di halos makagalaw. Ngayon naman halos lahat ng players di na makapasok sa Thor. sux
    sorry kung nag complain ako dito. No one seems to be reading the boards.

  12. We managed to get one of the agit’s guarded by the MVP last 7mins

    before the time for War of Emperium expires. After that, most of

    players that char selected at the end WOE cannot connect. It seems

    there is a problem connecting though I managed to retain the

    connection until it got disconnected by it’s own. Sorry for using this

    blog to express my thoughts.


  13. well thats good news muha


  14. P.S. please make the pink, blue or gray knitted cap tradable. :)


  15. This technical shiat is really getting out of hand. Don’t worry guys, I’ll spend a lot of time tomorrow talking with Gravity and the IT Team. Medyo busy talaga ako lately so all I can really do is to follow them up once in a while. I’m pushing for a project that I’m sure all of you will love once it gets approved. Konting antay na lang and I’m sure I can announce it na.


  16. Sira po ang clock tower 3 sa chaos! Kawawa naman kami sob e1 sob2

    wah


  22. [...] FYI: If you don’t know yet what will happen tomorrow after maintenance, check my weekly pRO Update post. Click HERE. [...]


  23. Is that the same Mini Propeller that would be given as the prize for the forum event? swt


  24. sux asan yang click here mo ? amp. sir wauks aanhin namin yang times three nyo kung down naman ang napakaraming maps sa chaos. sober nasayang na nga yung x2 tapos i bet wala nanamang compensation. anu ba naman yan.


  25. @tundyness

    Kaya nga po sabi ko tututukan ko yung servers tomorrow. heh Hindi ako part ng IT team so I really can’t help them fix it, pero I can be the ultimate uber kulit person that will bug them to hell and back to make sure everything runs smoothly tomorrow after maintenance.


  26. [...] Wauks: Guys if you don’t know what will happen tomorrow after maintenance, please click HERE. [...]


  27. ayus naman sana sa services no. gitnang gitna ng WoE masisira mga geffen and brit maps sa iris. sana man lang ayusin na ang serbisyo no. pag napuno na ang mga nag titiis na players no, kayo rin ang talo.


  28. Guys let me just clear that we don’t want the servers to go down. We don’t like it when players complain, and no company in the right mind would want to have all of his customers leave. In a tech-dependent business like online gaming - bugs and downtimes happen. It’s something that even Blizzard can’t prevent 100%. This is not an excuse by the way, I’m just telling you the truth. I’ve been on both sides of the fence - I was a player just like all of you and believe me when I say that I was one of the noisiest players around. I complained more than all of you combined heh Tristan and the other veteran LU peeps can attest to that.

    You might ask though what’s the difference between now and before? I’d like to think that this time, Level-up reaches out more to the player. I want the RO Team to be more transparent to you, that’s why I keep this blog. And it’s not just with the problems that we encounter

    However, the most important point is that we know something is wrong and that we are doing everything we can to fix the problem. We’ve even brought in people from Gravity and ePLDT, hehe. When stuff like this happens - all we can do is fix it, apologize that it happened, *learn* from it and try to prevent it from happening again in the future.

    Thank you to everyone who understands us and my apologies to all of you who were affected by the recent technical difficulties.

    Lastly let me just say that if you have CS-related problems, please call the CS hotline or file a ticket. I’ve been getting comments from players about hacks, scams, and even change e-mail/password requests and I honestly cannot help you in that department. Also if a map goes down or your character gets stuck, ganun din dapat gawin nyo.

    Cheers!


  29. how can anyone benefit form x3 when maps are still unstable?!?!


  30. Wah - parang napaka useless for me to comment and explain. ^^ Anyway, let’s leave it at that muna. Pahinga muna tayo peeps, 2:00AM na.


  31. wag ka na ma2log wauks muha gumising ka na hanap ka ng magagaling na technical person para sa game mahina ata yang technical team na yan nde kami contento jan….. glance


  32. embarass wow grabe matutuwa na naman mga hackers nyan kung tradeble na mga evolve items!!!bakit ganun,,kaya pa nman ako buy ng mga ganun dahil hinde pwede itrade,nawalan rin pala ng saysay!!dami kasi jan mga wla pambili e!! amp


  33. Ask k lang po if u will make angeling hat tradable in the future


  34. tae


  35. pls READ (especially wauks)
    yan lang compensation nyo walang kwenta
    sayang ang oras/money/at load kakahintay ng ragnarok
    hinde nman namn kailangan ng discount from hypermart
    sino po ba makikinabang
    kami po ba?
    hinde po
    sino pa
    ed kayo lang namn makikinabang d ba manager ka ng my lu
    talagang mautak ka wauks
    but still remember
    can ragnarok grows without the players(espcially u kasi naging player ka rin) but is stil a big question
    q

    did u understand that


  36. @Wauks

    Requesting if we could put the angeling hat account lock not char lock, kahit malagay lang s storage gawi


  37. e5 sa mga nanggugulo kay sir wauks, ano ba kau, hindi pa ba kayo na kontento na kahit papaano e me natatanungan tayo kung ano na nangyayari.. kung wala tong blog ni wauks matagal nang napanis mga laway ninyo kakarant ng walang kapararakan. bawi

    kahit magalit pa kayo, kung down ang server, down yan.. susko.. kahit ulanin ninyo ng mura ang LU, wala kayong naitulong sa pag-aayos.

    yung mga taong hindi marunong tumanggap ng simpleng sorry, at yung mga makikitid ang utak, kung hindi niyo makuha ung gusto ninyo, maging masaya kau sa kung anong meron kayo.

    I believe the LU peeps are doing their best. Although personally, I also thought they could do better.

    So Wauks, sana as you said, you guys up there really mean it when you say you’d prevent it from happening in the future.

    ——————————-

    hopefully after the maintenance, things go well.
    btw, cool propeller.
    it’s salary on friday so I’ll probably get my hands on one.

    ——————————-

    sa mga walang pambili, cest’ la vie. ho


  38. Alam naman namin na mayron talagang downtime bawat games. Ang nakakainis nga lang ay LUG na yata ang pinakamabagal ang response. Mas mabilis pa atang maayos yung private servers kaya yung ibang friends ko dun na lang naglalaro. Bat di kaya kayo gumawa ng parang logbook at lahat ng ma-encounter nyo na problems at solutions ay ilagay nyo dun para kung magpapalit man kayo ng tao ay mayron silang guide pag dumating yung same problem hindi yung “BACK TO BASICS” kayo lagi. e1 Yun lang po at sana di na siya buggy after maintenance.


  39. thanks for being a great gm wauks. sana lahat ng staff ng LU katulad mo. parang player ka rin sa RO na excited sa anything RO-related. you know the value of time spent online, and time wasted wanting to get online. flag
    saludo ako sayo. kung gagawa ka ng private server mo, PLEASE inform me. if ever, i’m sure the community you’ll bring together will be as great as the service and support you give players in-game and otherwise.
    bilhin mo na kasi ang LU para umayos ang lahat!!! heh


  40. kawawa naman sir wauks… napagbubuntalan ng galit… sana lang di ka mapuno dahil pag nawala ka malamang…. dagdag nanaman sa kinakaharap na cancer ng RO… na unti unting pumapatay… im expecting kasi on the server merge those peeps who quitted pRO will visit and thinking of coming back again…

    i miss the RO days na madaming tao…

    go SIR WAUKS KAYA MO YAN ^_^!! go


  41. Thanks for the support guys. Anyway, maintenance is going well. The GMs are already testing the stability of the maps as I write this. I’ll post again later when I get an update from the Game Manager. gawi
