Philippine Ragnarok Online Weekly Update (3/26/08)
Since I already did the Community Concerns update post yesterday, I’ll just focus on the game-related updates that we have for Philippine Ragnarok Online. I’ll also be updating several sections of this blog so watch out for that sometime this evening. Anyway, let’s get to work. Here are the major changes for this week’s maintenance.
VALKYRIE COMPENSATION (3x EXP 1 WEEK)
Valkyrie was down yesterday for emergency maintenance due to the bug exploits that was reported by the community through the Customer Support hotlines. There was a mini-rollback to make sure that we preserve game integrity and balance. To compensate for this, there will be a 3x EXP mod for 1 week starting today when the servers go up after maintenance. Here’s the direct quote
Valkyrie Advisory
Date Posted: Mar. 25, 2008Citizens of Valkyrie,
Please be informed that the Valkyrie Server will be inaccessible until further notice today to address the bugs that were experienced earlier. In light of this, we will be doing a rollback of all Valkyrie game data to their state as of March 24, 2008 - 11:59pm.
As compensation, we will be giving a 3x Exp mod to Valkyrie for one (1) week starting right after tomorrow’s scheduled maintenance.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope for your understanding with regard to the matter.
Thank you very much.
- The pRO Team
WALANG KAMATAYAN NEW PREMIUM HEADGEAR (LOL)
Since I’ve been getting non-stop comments regarding the constant release of premium headgear, I decided that the “Walang Kamatayan” label was apt, hehe. Seriously though, we’re releasing a new batch of headgears today. Guys if you’re wondering why there are so many it’s simply because we just get all the headgear that were developed by other countries as well. That’s the reason behind the long pipeline of headgears for the item mall and the armory of the gods.

That’s it for the weekly update for Philippine Ragnarok Online. If you have community concerns, feel free to visit my previous post on the RAGNAROK & PERFECT WORLD COMMUNITY CONCERNS UPDATE. Like what I said earlier, I’ll be updating several sections of this blog today so watch out for that as well. Wauks out!

wauks wrong date ata po keo..
walang kamatayan nga lol!
March 26th, 2008 at 11:34 am
walang kamatayan indeed! sana damay din ang baldur sa 3x.
anyway, thanks for extending last week’s mod exp.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I think its both beneficial for the company and levelupgames to offer items:
Name Change Item
Sunglasses [1]
Just price it reasonably to prevent abuse.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
^^
Correction: both players and mylevelup pala.
I know a horde of people who would patronize such hypermart commodities.
HAPPY GAMERS = HIGH SALES
WIN = WIN
March 26th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
yun! thanks sir wauks, may nakalagay na sa every headgear na lumalabas. wait ko na lang po yung iba pang permissions sa ibang headgears sir wauks…. hehe thanks!
March 26th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
sir wauks sabi ng iba may guild bug pa sa baldur, diba yun 3x mawawala lng pag maayos na yun mga bug sa guild during siege….eh wala na yun 3x….maayos na po ba tlga?
March 26th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
With all of the headgears released so far in PRO Hypermart, the only ones I found usefull to my characters are the Gentleman’s Pipe, Alice Doll [1] and Gambler’s Hat. Others are either optional or just for show (which is the point… I guess).
head gear suggestion:
Evolved Super Novice Hat [1]
DEF: 2
SLOT: Head Upper
JOB: Novice and Super Novice
EFFECT: All STATS + 1, +5% ATK, +3% MATK, +700 HP and +150 SP
March 26th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Wishing na sana may Sunglasses[1] sa F2P servers.
March 26th, 2008 at 1:55 pm

March 26th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
@Wauks
Red Glasses is not tradable I relied on the information you mentioned on your post made my friend buy one for me though sadly we figure out that is it not tradable. Hope this problem will be resolved at once. Thank you.
March 26th, 2008 at 2:35 pm

More premium headgears… x_X
It’s really rather tempting to buy new ones, especially to collectors like myself. It’s true that LUG is implementing the new headgears from the other servers, but I was hoping that a few of em were QUEST-EARNED headgears.
Hope more headgear quests come out. Commercial servers want to make use of the game time they purchase to actually do a quest to earn an item rather than just purchasing it off the Hypermart. Releases like this cater more to the F2P servers… XD
Speaking of F2P servers, just my personal opinion - they seem to be given much more attention than the commercial servers. It’s true that this is necessary in the early stages to net in the subscribers, but as the saying goes - it’s easier to keep your old customers rather than attract new ones. ^_^
And what’s up with the F2P server-themed loading screens in the commercial servers? It’s almost saying something like “Hey, commercial servers suck! Come transfer to a F2P one!” XD
^ Just some of my personal observations. Hope it’s taken in a positive note. ^_^
March 27th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Bug/ sira ung gym pass skill sa valkyrie server Paki Fix naman thanks!!
March 27th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
headgear na naman…. hahayz
March 27th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I do hope that you’ll be more specific with the headgears that you release. Some of them are inaacurate and misleading.
Example:
Bunny Hat - it was stated on the website that it has a chance of casting lvl 5 increase agi upon attack, whereas the item description says has a chance of casting lvl 5 increase agi upon receiving damage.
And also, it is misleading in a way you describe some headgears that auto cast skills with the term “a chance to cast….” instead of stating the actual percentage of casting chance.
Example:
Vanilmirth Hat
Auto Cast any BOLT magic Lv 1AT A CERTAIN RATE
Cannot be upgraded.
Indestructible.
Permissions: Drop, Trade, Kafra & Cart enabled
(lol… who knows if its 10% or 0.001 % chance)
As consumers, we need to have facts, the exact figures of what we are purchasing. Not white lies.
March 27th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
has a chance to cast = 5-10%
a small chance to cast = 0.1 - 3%
buti naman nilagay nyo na yung tradability, etc ng mga head gears.. kala ko mawawala na tiwala ko sa LUGi ^^,
March 29th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Puro Headgears, hindi ba pwedeng iba naman ang bago sa Hypermart, wala bang customize na armors etc.
As Always midHG [1] naman…….
Querry lang yung E.Elu saka E.Ori di ma transfer sa cart for vending or ma deal paki fix naman to Thanks
March 29th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
E.ORI lang ata ang di pwede ma trade, di pwede malagay sa cart at di pwede i-mail.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
sir wauks kung talagang pursigido kayung tanggalin yung mga bots pede naman eh! subukan nyong mamasyal sa Geffen PK,nagkalat mga FS and Soul Linker na bot! dun lang may maibibingwit na kayo…
