Gaming: Waukster Ragnarok Survey

I was meeting with the New Media department of Level-up and we were talking about the demographics of the players for each of the games. For the longest time the assumption was that the RO gamers where young - somewhere around 12 - 16. As the years went by, LU invested in market research and they found out that the gamers were getting a little bit older. Majority of the gamers moved up to 14-18. Fast forward to 2007. As you guys know, we’ve been doing the Ragna Rally and I noticed that I rarely see kids anymore. Most of the people I talk to are mostly 18 years old and up. Based from our meeting earlier, it looks like we will be doing market research again. For starters, I’d like to ask all my readers here at Waukster Online. Please answer these three simple questions by leaving a comment. It won’t take more than 5 minutes of your time!

1.) General Information: Gender, Age, Working/Student/Unemployed?
2.) Where did you find about Ragnarok Online?
3.) What’s the best feature of Ragnarok Online that made you stay?

Before I end this post, I just want to give you guys a quick update on Baldur. We’re currently having connection issues but the IT Team is already working on it. It should be up now but if you have difficulty logging in, please just wait it out.

To everyone who answered the questions above, thanks!

    2. I first played RO during its beta days where everyone is knew to the game and thought of the stats and skills as the same as Diablo II, where I ended with my novice as having 20+ stat to all.
    I transfered to Sarah when it first launch as a new beginning cause there were too many rich players in game already in chaos.
    3. WOE and the interaction with other people, especially in 2004 where botting is not that rampant and you can see a party of novices making parties and leveling their way in payon, acolytes, mages, and archers are gathered in morroc dungeon and killing the mummy in lvl 3. I miss those days were you can see friendly priests giving buffs and healing other players.
    Watching guilds taking on Stormy Knight in lutie where Knights take all the damage while wizzies and hunters spam their skills, MVP hunting was more of a party strategy and watching them (i was a low level swordsman then) was great.

    Male, 24, Working

    2.) Where did you find about Ragnarok Online?

    Three years ago, I have a friend who used to play RO and talk to me about it all the time. I could not relate much to her RO lingo (Uhm what’s phen card and why the hell are you willing to buy one for P1000? O_o Hehehe!) So I tried playing it at a nearby cafe so that I could relate to her hobby and I instantly got hooked (first played RO for more than 12 hours straight)!

    3.) What’s the best feature of Ragnarok Online that made you stay?

    I quitted RO last Oct and came back last April partly because I heard there was going to be a server merge (more ACTUAL online players yey!). I noticed I was spending more time at Prontera buying & selling, watching the vend items, familiarizing with the prices, tawad dito, vend dun, etc. I then realize that being a Prontera merchant is what I like most about RO. =)

    - I think it’s the nostalgia factor, that it has the 2d RPG feel of day’s old. And it also doesn’t hurt that it is very much low spec friendly.

    EXTRA PATUTSADA: Please do something naman about the game times, bali dagdagan sana tulad ng 10 pesos gawing 3 hours or something. ;x; Nagiging hassle na sa budget ang paglalaro minsan e.

  96. 1) Male, 26, student
    2) Don’t remember how I found out about it, but I participated in the early free Ragnarok beta, years ago. Lots of college students were playing it back then (and were often getting banned off the college Novell network for it). After that I forgot about it for years, until a year ago someone asked me to take another look. A lot has changed since the beta days.
    3. Well, I love planning characters for games almost more than I love the games themselves. I’m a bit of a math geek I guess, but I take pleasure in finding optimal values and such. Calculating card effects. How many mufflers I need to create one that’s +10. Hehehe.. I guess I’m kind of weird.


  97. 1.) General Information: Gender, Age, Working/Student/Unemployed?
    - Male. 27 Years old. Working.

    2.) Where did you find about Ragnarok Online?
    - Through friends. They introduced me to the game, while they got it via the internet.

    3.) What’s the best feature of Ragnarok Online that made you stay?
    - Ragnarok is one of the few Online games that successfully fused 2D sprites in a 3D environment. RO has also a huge world map, enabling people to go to different places. RO is also relatively cheaper to maintain (lower PC requirements), while allowing you to have the same amount of challenge and fun, compared with other MMOGs. In my opinion, Ragnarok also has a complex system - having different jobs, mini-games, quests, game mechanics, etc… etc…

  104. 1.) General Information: Gender, Age, Working/Student/Unemployed?
    Male, 23, College Student (graduating soon)

    2.) Where did you find about Ragnarok Online?
    When i was in my previous college, when i was in 2nd year, LU had a booth during the freshmen orientation before the schoolyear started. They distributed the very first CD installers and since i was a ‘kuya’ of a freshmen bloc (temporary adviser), i was given the task of distributing some of the CDs. I got myself one of course, but it took me a long time to adapt to the pay-to-play system (because that time what was popular was free-to-play ones like C&C Red Alert 2 and Counterstrike).

    3.) What’s the best feature of Ragnarok Online that made you stay?
    It was simply being the first in the MMOG industry. As Filipinos who love computer gaming very much, we like to see and try new kinds of games. RO introduced to us playing games with lots and lots (literally thousands) of people at the same time through the internet, as well as interacting with and creating friends through the game. And although it also introduced the pay-to-play system, most of us were able to adapt to it and still continue playing. Lastly, RO didn’t require hi-end specs to be able to play it. It’s not easy to buy a computer since the better it is, the more expensive it is. But RO can be played somewhere between low-end to mid-end computers that don’t cost too much.

    2.) 4 yrs back, during freshmen orientation, pRO CDs were distributed to us. Tried it when I got home, and got hooked since then..
    3.) War of the Emperium. I made a lot of friends with my guildmates, and the event (WoE) itself taught me a lot of things and somehow it was quite fulfilling..

    siege. not hypermart, not boss events, not useless headgear events, not pvp where there are no rewards or rankings (put this and pvp will be packed and kicking i tell you) and definitely not the latency. so kudos to rpc and rwc and even on the slight improvement of the latency.
