So what’s up for this week? Well, a lot. Since this weekend, the programmers have been working on optimizing the Valkyrie servers. Based on the feedback, there was little improvement and they’re actually scheduled to fly back to Korea again on Thursday. In the words of our Chief Operating Office – “That’s not acceptable.” It looks like we will be keeping them hostage here until they fix it, LOL. Anyway, we have several new additions in the item mall for both F2P and P2P servers.
New Loading Screen to Promote Bapho Horns and Randgris Helm
NEW HEADGEAR – GENTLEMAN’S PIPE & DIADEM
The Gentlemen’s Pipe will be available across all servers after the regular scheduled maintenance. After hearing your feedback about the item, we’ve decided to price it at 200 PHP (4,000 Rok Points). That’s actually a very good price seeing as it has functional benefits and it’s animated as well. Please also note that we will be adding the Diadem in the HyperMart of the other servers as well. Here are the item stats:
Gentleman’s Pipe
- A long, smoking pipe used by gentlemen and nobility.
- Reduce damage from Demi-human monsters by 2%.
- Lower Slot
- Available to all Job Classes
- AnimatedDIADEM
- +1 INT, +3% MATK, Reduce Casting Time 3%
- Upper and Middle Headgear Slot
- SLOTTED
- Available to all Job Classes
- 2 Defense Rating
TOP-UP PROMO EXTENDED
I’m also happy to announce that the top-up promo is extended until February 6, 2008! You can get free items by converting 350 MY LU Credits into Game Time or Rok Points. Here’s a link to the official announcement on the Ragnarok Website.
NEW BOSS CARD IN VALKYRIE/VALHALLA
The Baphomet Card gets phased out and we’re now including a new boss card. I can’t give out any details yet since the Ragnarok Team is still confirming this with Gravity. I can give a clue though – it would be nice to put in the Diadem. Once we confirm and post it on the Ragnarok site, I’ll edit this post accordingly.
FIRECRACKERS
We’re also adding Fire Crackers in the item mall but I don’t have screenshots or descriptions yet so I won’t be able to post it here. I’ll get confirmation first with the Ragnarok Team and I’ll just edit this post afterwards. From what I heard though, they will just cost 1 Rok Point each and they are like premium emoticons. It’s ideal for people who just want to impress their guildmates and friends in-game.
COMMUNITY CONCERNS
(From Last Week)
Valkyrie Connectivity – Gravity Engineers are currently in Manila working on the problem.
Valhalla Rachel Sanctuary – Escalated already to Gravity, hopefully to be fixed within 2 weeks. Classified as a bug.
Dupe Bug – Selective Wipes on-going, primarily targeting Baldur, Tyr, and Freya
UPDATE
Here’s the link to the post on the Dark Illusion Card and Firecrackers.

@Wauks the problem that I encountered before (October 22,2007-Ocober 31,2007 and you are to make a sorrtie about it and solve the problem at once though it took 8 days) have occured again. Whenever I connect my account in Valhalla up to character select screen only and always get disconnected before even proceeding with the game. Hope you can make a sortie out of it ASAP when you have a free time don’t tell me it would take another week again before the problem gets resolved. Then when I tried using my account even I have no gametime in some p2p server even I don’t have any characters there. This message poppes out “Your account is already connected to another account server”. Do I need to file another ticket again to solve this problem? Well I’ll start creating tickets again starting today. I’ll just send the details later.

OT:
In case you would ask my new filed ticket it’s QTU88.
Hope I could play WoE this coming saturday since today it isn’t possible unless it would be resolved at once. Thank you Wauks.

@Wauks
Sorry for the OT but for some reason the problem gots resolved on it’s own. I apologize for my recent post about my account connectivity issue. I just got hyped and try fixing the problem on my own.

firecrackers?? :hmm:
Doppelganger on January 30, 2008
Please, remove the bot programs on all servers before sending your Korean programmers back home. As much as I hate to admit it, even if you guys did manage to remove it ( or not which is a likely possibility ) the game itself is already unbalanced. Lets say people who want to bot their characters cannot do it anymore.
(hooray !! for LU )…..BUT, the damage is already done. Botters now have strong characters, a large gain on guild EXPs (taxers as you would call them), a stock load of rare valuable items and an insanely large amount of zennies. Now maybe I’m being over sarcastic here, but ……where is the fairness in game play ??
Oh that’s right, you’re working on it …..then my question and hopefully everyones question would be…..
when can we expect results ?? ……… and not empty promises.

sabi na dark illussion card kahit technically nde xa boss card, miniboss card pede pa cguro tawag..
kasi Diadem is reduce casting na slotted ang yung DI card is reduce din…
Night on January 30, 2008
@alanski: load it in 350 then 50, then 100 for rok points, just break it down. Hehe. You’ll still get the same stuff, if it’s Rok Points.

JimBeam on January 31, 2008
sir wauks, magulo pa rin po siege sa baldur. may bugs pa rin po ung guilds.
mountaindew on February 1, 2008
mr waukster, hindi ko po alam kung bakit selective din po yung mga reklamo na nirereplyan nyo.
particularly yung sa siege bug sa baldur. nawawala yung guild, delayed PMs, nawawalang friend’s list, delayed mail.
tuwing siege na lang. utang na loob. replyan nyo sana yung post ko na ito kasi napapansin ko lang, maraming reklamo dito sa bug pero kahit saan kami pumunta walang response kahit isa man lang.
walang response from cust service
walang response from RB
walang response from you
parang awa nyo na po.
