Waukster Online

We’ve had several new announcements posted on the Philippine Ragnarok Online website since yesterday. First, let me share the good news - all other servers will be on 2x for tomorrow’s stress test as well. That means everyone will be able to enjoy the modifiers even if it’s just for one day. We also have a new in-game event which is very similar to the “Bapho or Bayong” event that was run 2 years ago. Here are the mechanics:
