Ragnarok Online 2 Status
People have been asking me lately about the status of Philippine Ragnarok Online 2, the sequel to the most successful MMORPG in the country - Ragnarok Online. It was originally scheduled to be released 3rd Quarter last year (2007), but after internal testing we found out that it wasn’t ready yet. There were a lot of bugs that needed to be fixed and there wasn’t enough content to justify a full-blown launch. Because of those reasons, we delayed the launch to 2008.
When Gravity gave us a visit a few weeks ago, one of the discussions was the future of Ragnarok Online 2. Mr. Changki, General Manager of Gravity, personally gave us his assurance that they are doing their best to ensure that Ragnarok Online 2 will be at par, if not better, than other global MMORPG brands like World of Warcraft. It’s good to know that both Level up and Gravity understand that we only have one shot of launching Ragnarok 2. If the game does not live up to the expectations of the market, then there’s a big chance it won’t even come close to the success Ragnarok reached.
So what’s in store for us when Ragnarok Online 2 finally launches? Mr. Changki said that they’re planning to do a relaunch of Ragnarok Online 2 in Korea sometime this year and they’ll release a new “War of Emperium” feature together with a lot of new improvements in the game. Dozens of maps, monsters, quests, and contents will be included to make sure that when Ragnarok Online 2 is finally released, it will truly be a world class, triple A, kick-ass title. This game has a lot of potential, and we saw that a lot of gamers were really impressed with it during the sneak peek trial we had during Level-up! LIVE 2007.
With that in mind, I wish the development team of Ragnarok Online 2 all the best. 
To end this post, I’d like to share with everyone the teaser trailer with edited to promote Philippine Ragnarok Online 2:

Sana ma-release na ito agad ayaw ko na bumalik sa RO1, puro na lang kasi cheating at problems dun nawala na ung fun
oo nga panay cheats, bots….wala k kausap….
miss ko n ung old good days ng RO…hay….
Sir wauks sana naman wak ilimit sa phil ung RO2 sana kaming mga international players makalaro din nyan…
Me and my friends have been waiting for almost a year now…..
actually, we are getting impatient… sum of us played RF, Line age 2, and perfect world…
we are supposed 2 be 20 players now its just the five of us left….
SO PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before we decide to play other games!!!!
THANX….
PLs sabihin nyo na ung exact date kung kailan exited na rin ako mag laro ng RO2 ayaw ko na laruin ung mga nilalaro like line age (puro bot)!!!!! BILIS PLS!!!!! ^_^
Disappointed ako sa LevelUpGames. Tagal nang usapan ang release dated ng RO2 pero wala paring official ang exact date.
If ever wala parin RO2 sa coming episode ng Satan Morocc for RO1, sure na hindi na ako mag lalaro ng RO2 kahit man lang testing phase.
What’s good about this is that there will STILL BE continuing developments for RO 1. We will still market and run RO1 like we do.
Oh please don’t tell me you are going the PhP route and make it free to play? Please make the game as how the koreans play it… =(
I DONT WANT RO2 TO GO F2P!
NO WAY!
Pls. lang noh!
Take all the time you need, I’m willing to wait. Ayoko na mag Lineage 2 its so boring and what a wow-wannabe
If RO2 will go f2p I’d rather think about playing Granado Espada when a new server is launch there.
bt yaw mo f2p? aq nga din ee pra yqo xe mggng puro cash sellers ung laro.. ms ok sken ung ms mhirap makakuha ng equips/items… pra fair s lht… kung mggng f2p sna wak n lng items.. fmb n lng sna ung ibenta khit babaan n lng ung exp rate suggestion lng po
Pls. make it F2P
Making it pay to play will decrease players.
One question though, are the accounts that we use for RO2 be the same in RO1???
Please make it FREE TO PLAY
some of us can’t always buy load every time we run out of load you know! that was the reason why I quit RO1.
P2P sucks! >:(
@^
d pa nga nalaunch eh, pano mag decrease ang players?
Ran = F2P = Super Success
Other Games = P2P = Early Downfall

Lynxx = bs
weeee hello master wauks ^^ we’ll see each other at RO2 ^^ BS [Maverick]
mr. wauks you wish to make a team in RO2 right? here in PH?
right now im Lv79 (almost Lv80) in KRO2. i play in server 2.
(note: the highest Lv player in KRO2 right now is Lv84 korean girl swordy)
(note2: cant beat them.. 2 people playing in 1 char T_T)
here’s a movie clip of me in KRO2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5Th_QwZ2gw
i dont want to boast but im the highest Lved player among all the foreign players in KRO2.
well to think that no.1 ang pinoy among all foreign players at nkikipag sabayan sa mga monster na korean players.
halimaw po sila maglaro. ibang Lv ang caliber ng gameplay nila compared to ph players.
contact:
http://profiles.friendster.com/chizunee
please send me your msn or ym (in friendster) and lets talk about the team.
i intend to join your team mr. wauks.
See? lots of people want F2P.
anyway, Mr. Wauks, can you also post later about the new jobclasses?
I noticed in some RO2 wallpapers that the Clown uses a dagger. Will they be able to use whips too?
Thank you.
:D
ano b kau pag naging P2P yan…sa cmula lng maraming players…tapos pag nagtagal
mag aalisan din yan…kc nga d n kaya ang bayad sa load…D N USO P2P ngaun…!!! HALER!!!
Dito sa amin wala nang nagbebenta ng load.
P2P or F2P man ‘yan… Basta walang BOT edi tpos ang usapan… gs2 q ciempre F2P, hehe ^^
mas mgnda f2p xempre kaso lng ms mgiging ms mlkas ung ms mraming pera.. di n cla mgttyaga na mghunt ng monster.. puro cash seller n lng cla.. kung p2p nmn ms ok n sken un basta wlang cash seller.. sna f2p tpos field manual n lng ung ibebenta wag n in-game items..
ang tanong? Panu kikita ang level-up kung F2P ung laro? dito sila babawi dahil ung iba flop kaya malaki ang posibilidad na P2P to. Cguro first two months or three like how RO1 started free ung game then once mejo marami na silang players start na ung P2P… Pasira ang BOT sa any kind of game pero dahil pinoy ang manlalaro, hahanap at hahanap ng paraan para makapagbot…. Gawin kze everyday bot hunt ung mga GM tapos automatic ban ung account wala nang pasapasabi para magtanda mga botters….
uu.. cge na kung gs2 mong p2p, mgp2p ka magIsa mo..ahahaha.. joke lng..
sna nga gnun gwin ng gm.. banned agd ung mga nhuhuling ngbobot.. tpos di n pde mbalik ung account nila permabanned n agd pra matakot n lht mgbot.. kxe kung mdmi magbobot kwawa nmn ung mga naglalaro ng maayos.. tsaka pra di n mababoy ung laro… nkakacra kxe ng laro ung mga botters e.. o kya nmn gumwa n lng ng server pra sa mga botters.. heheheheh.. tpos gumwa dn ng server pra sa mga manual mglaro.. di b mas ok n ung gnun>? legal n mgbot.. tpos sa gs2 manual masaya cla kxe tlgang mgiging fair yung laro..
but ftp will make squatters roam duh!!
Wow.. I hope RO2 won’t be a disappointment.
Most of my friends in RO1 have left the game (annoyed by the corruption, and the never ending bugs n’ lag)
..but we all vowed to reunite in RO2.
I’m really looking forward to the release of the game.
Sad to say though, I think it would be the end of Ragnarok Online 1.
Which would be the better game, I wonder..
RO1 or RO2?
Ro1 pa rin!!! Sa dami ng ilalagay nilang features lalong di kakayanin ng computer ko yan. Perfect World nga lang di kaya, de mas lalo na ang RO2.
Can’t wait to play RO2 ! ! !
Sana manlang kahit CBT lng ilabas nyo ng maaga tpos saka niyo pag-isipan kung kelan yung Pre-OBT ng RO2 pede naman yun eh para lng ma EXP nung mga gamers yung RO2 hehehe… khit CBT muna…. saka na yung Pre-OBT nya…
You can actually play Ragnarok Online 2 already. I’ve been playing it since August ^^

haha saya pala RO2 try nio laru EuphRO2 private server… hehe para d na noob pag labas RO2 sana nga lang mkalaru pRO2 mga international players
Waukeen, bro its me i hope you still remember me well i surely hope so anyway i dont understand why some people want this game to be free to play forever . i mean at start it can be a free to play just like ragnarok 1then when everything is ok i mean running smoothly then thats the time people have to pay imagine having it pay to play at start wouldnt attract much users IMO knowing that the game alone would require a high end pc to make it work would definitely make it hard for students to play the game because not everyone can afford and buy or upgrade their pc’s . well hopefully this RO2 would bring the good old days.. i miss playing havent played for along time my lord knight is stuck at level 94 in RO1 hahaha but still if i have time i chek it from time to time. sorry for being out of topic .. more power wauks
sorry i did a wrong comment the last time.
but hey i thot RO2 was supposed to be released here in PH this month or next month?
rumors say. lololol
ako din hehehe member ng BlackSmithPiont
matagal na akong hindi naglalaro
miss ko din good old days lalu na yung time ng kyrie bug for the super battle priest
biglang pumangit ng dahil sa bot. :(
sana ma relese na yung Ro 2 nung year 2003 ko pa yan alam pero ngayun lang binalita sa pilipinas
pano nga pla ang grapics at gamply nun
Tukmols rulesssssssssssssssss
a korean told me in KRO2 that Gravity is going to sell Ragnarok Online 2 to HANGAME.
there has’nt been any updates in KRO2 since last january and some people say that gravity cant support the development financially.
kindly confirm if its true. i hope not.
well i still play KRO2 like once a week. i’ve been waiting asking news when will be the war of emperium comes…

waaaaaaaaaaaaa kelan b tlga ilalabas ung RO2!?
tgal n kac aq nag hihintay
nababagot nako eh….
Wauks,
tgl n rn hinintay RO2 sna f2p n toh sme s rf at pw..
actually weve been expecting this game a long time ago..
ilang december n nga ung dumaan la p rn..
me and my friends are still hoping n dis yr ddting n s pinas toh..
/no1
it would be better if you make it F2P rather than P2P because there are so many F2P online games in the community right now..
i suggest that field manuals and some other items that will help players to levelup can be bought by cash..
rare items and equips is “must” be hunted and cant be bought by cash to be fair to some players esp. students.
/ok
hay naku walang pag asa ang tagal na nito wala pa rin bago puro pa rin bug. teaser lng RO2. ehehe
P2p for better service and better community. if you want to play a good game, pay for it haha
