  • Gaming: RWC 2007 Wild Card Mechanics

    Ragnarok Online
    24th May 2007 - By Wauks

    Like what I said in my previous post, an online game is useless if the latency is off. For the past week, the latency of Ragnarok was terrible, mainly because of the sudden surge of players that decided to log-in again and check out the game post-merger. The maintenance today took more time than usual because we implemented a new server set-up with more map zone servers to support the game. This cost a lot, but what the hell. Hopefully my boss doesn’t fire my ass, hehe. Anyway, on to more news. I just wanted to clarify some stuff with the Ragnarok World Championships. We announced the RWC Wild Card Mechanics just a few hours ago.

    MECHANICS

    · The RWC Wild Card promotion will run on May 29 – June 6, 2007.

    · For a guild to qualify for this promotion, they must conquer at least 1 agit castle on their respective server on Saturday, May 26, 2007. All guilds that have castles will be qualified to join the RWC Wild Card.

    · When a gamer converts at least 50 LU Credits in My Level-up into GAME TIME or ROK POINTS, he will get votes that he can assign to a particular guild. Please see the table below for the points given by each denomination.

    50 LU Credits – 1 Vote
    100 LU Credits – 2 Votes
    350 LU Credits – 8 Votes
    500 LU Credits – 12 Votes

    · After converting LU Credits, the gamer will be automatically directed to the voting page. He will have to key in his username twice to be able to vote.

    · The gamer will be asked to pick which server (Baldur, Freya, Tyr, Urdr, and Thor) he will be voting for in the Wild Card.

    · Upon choosing the server, a list of qualified guilds will be shown. There will be a maximum of 20 guilds that a gamer can pick from.

    · Voting Points expire after 24 hours.

    · If the gamer tops-up without consuming his previous votes, those votes will be automatically discarded and replaced with the new number depending on the amount of the most recent top-up.

    · RWC Wild Card scoring will be updated daily (every 3AM) and will be shown in the Level-up LIVE website.

    · The guild with the most number of votes will be declared the winner. In case of a tie, the guild with the highest EXP or level will be declared the winner.

    · Voting will start on May 29, 2007 and will end on June 6, 2007.

    You guys should check the announcement out since you’ll be able to see the tournament tree as well. Anyway, here are some clarifications. First, the RWC Wild Card is for RWC only. All the points and votes that you cast will be reset after. Once we start the RPC Wild Card sometime July or August, that’s an entirely different thing. The Agit Lord scores, on the other hand, will not reset. Whatever points you gain for RWC, you will maintain and keep for the duration of the RPC tournament.

    Lastly, there is a good chance that only Glory Agits will be used for the duration of the RWC Agit Lords. The other agits (Prosperity, Risk, and Trust) might only be applied when RPC starts.

    • Croix on May 24, 2007

      applicable din po ba yung mga mechanics dyan para sa RPC Wild Cards? Specifically yung owning an agit on May 26.

      @Sir Wauks

      first of all thank you very much for bringing up the side of the players of this game. im a fan of this game since 2004 til i stopped for a while. and right now im at it again. i believe your boss wont fire you.

      Mabuhay ka sir Wauks!!!

    • Arthur Sinclair on May 24, 2007

      I’ve always played this game :heh: , this yet is another reason for stocking up on top-up cards. :go:

    • Wauks on May 24, 2007

      It’s still laggy, I checked at Baldur. Meron lag spikes and instances of time gap. I’ll give you guys another update Friday afternoon. Sana maayos natin to before siege on Saturday.

      Good night!

    • Richter on May 24, 2007

      @Wauks to confirm, only 1 WC winner for all servers? or 1 WC on each server ?

      medyo lugi kme s Thor or should I say, sure talo kme s ibang servers pag 1 WC lang for all servers…

    • SaveTheQueen on May 24, 2007

      WAUKEEN! i hope we dont sue your boss for firing your ass! coz its still HELL laggy! argh! ano ba yan, dyan sa sinabi mo parang tinitipid kami ng LUG, ikaw nalang ata ang may concern saming mga gamers, para i-risk mo pa yung job mo sa impementation ng map servers na well deserved namin. huuu, hope the NEW server you were talking about before will be implemented.

    • Burke on May 24, 2007

      Sa Tyr, hindi na po laggy. puro DC na. T_T

    • ..SonnY.. on May 24, 2007

      Sobrang lag pa rin po.. check your ISP or network.. baka nandun na ung problema.. maybe a traffic or network congestion.. :^^:

    • Burke on May 25, 2007

      Im sure that its not because of the connection. Wala namang known problems dito since mag-merge. Actually, sa normal maps, ok na. Sa siege lang talaga ang masakit. DCness talaga. T_T

    • kenzo on May 25, 2007

      lag, disconnections, time-gaps.. ano pa i dadagdag doon?
      ang hirap mag laro pag ganyan hindi namin na eenjoy ang siege namin
      sana magawan na talaga ng paraan ang hirap para saming mga gamers ( paying customers ) :^^:

    • `RC` on May 25, 2007

      Wauks after the sieged as soon as i go back to c_tower3 im unable to open my main char but i able to open my other char w/ the same account

    • Pulse on May 25, 2007

      @wauks
      May 29- june 6 lang ba talaga duration ng voting?? if that’s the case hindi ba medyo maikli ung time duration?

      tungkol naman dun sa lag thingy. as i experienced nung siege kagabi, hindi naman sya masyado malag. na di-disconnect lang ako kapag umaabot na sa 4-6 guilds na ang naglalaban sa isang room lang ng agit. pero most of the time no lag naman ako.

    • The Ingrown on May 25, 2007

      sir Waukeen paki clarify po… 1 WC per server? or what? i thought 4 WC tpos mag lalaban? so what is the final mechanics? sana fair para sa thor.. yun lang po thanks..

    • wildarms on May 25, 2007

      lag p rin po sir wauks, lalu n s luina

    • gRAveensLime on May 25, 2007

      @Wauks

      Pakiclarify naman po..

      1. Yung highest vote po ba sa buong pRO ang makakakuha ng slot for wildcard? or yung highest vote for a server tapos paglalaban-labanin?

      2. Bakit po RWC Wildcard? Meron rin po bang RPC Wildcard?

    • Gaming: RWC Wild Card Nominees on May 27, 2007

      [...] castles are automatically part of the nominees! You can read about the mechanics by going back and reading my Wild Card Mechanics post. Anyway, I have here the list of guilds that you guys can vote for starting on May 29, 2007. [...]

    • FAIR on May 27, 2007

      sir bakit po natuloy yung RWC na wildcard eh hindi pa ayos mga guild bug. Hindi ba unfair sa ibang guilds yun? wala silang emergency call ang other guild skills. paki clarify lang po
