Ragnarok Server Merge Updates
The Philippine Ragnarok Online server merge is still on-going and we have our ICT staff working with several Gravity server and database engineers. As per the latest announcement posted on the website, there is no definite timeline yet on when we can have the servers up and running due to the complex process that the merger entails. The team obviously encountered problems but I’m sure they’ll be able to resolve it pretty soon. Anyway, that’s the bad news. The good news is that the Ragnarok Team has decided to slash the subscription rates of the game. Check out the new prices and a copy of the official announcement after the jump.

November 15th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
sir wauks.. how about the coppola? more than 3 weeks na po wala pa din ung free headgear ko..
November 15th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Are you guys gonna give us a compensation, like a mod exp (ack just lost 1 and half day from my premium subscription ><)., btw, im from f2p server and i don’t really understand why the f2p servers are involved in this super looooooong maintenance
November 15th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
By the way Sir Wauks,
What about our premium subscriptions in Valkyrie?
Most of us loaded a 1 week premium… and its been 2 days that we weren’t able to make good use of it already. Is there any compensation for this? I hate wasting money even if its in small amounts.
Thanks!
November 15th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
HOW ABOUT php500/2 MONTHS? WALANG DISCOUNT TO?
November 15th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Sana may x3 experience as compensation sa 20 hours daw na maintenance na naging more than 40 hours na.
Follow up lang din Sir Wauks, kelan mo isesend ung natitirang 500 load na prize ko?
November 15th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
BKT GANUN? HOW ABOUT php500/2 MONTHS? WALANG DISCOUNT TO?
November 15th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
“Balik Ragna Na!!!” - that’s their new ad campaign… how do you expect them to comeback by making your so called “New Rates Slash Off” a PROMO and runs for only a month… i really thought that “new rates” was permanent although some are not happy with the new rates… and not including those P500 loaders… waw LU never sees to amaze me… and with that kind of service… The “New Chaos” will going to be the “New Beginning” of the end for Philippine Ragnarok… how disappointing… tsk tsk…
November 15th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
sna nmn pgbalik mod EXP!!!
November 15th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
alam nyo ba nangyari sa RO india? kunwari extended server maintenance, tapos yun pala, wala ng RO, closed for life!
November 15th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
aND HERe anyone is expecting 50/week but it looks like LUP cannot make such offer to the loyal gamers who have played pRO from this past 5yrs.. Let me guess the reason behind the 75/week… hmm is it because of the BOT that you cant even make it 50/week or the fact that there will be a great impact upon the market of LUP if its slash all its prepaid to 50%… hmmm… i wonder what is the real REASON….
November 15th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
same old LU parin.. baldur server ako tapos almost 48hs na wla parin ang server.. NICE SERVICE..kaya pla d kau ngbigay ng time kng kelan up ang server.. astig serbesyo nyu
November 15th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Nyak naman Promo lang nonsense din gawin nang permanent yan!
November 15th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
EXP MODE LANG PWEDE NA.
November 15th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Sir Wauks, 2Days na po nasayang yung load qu, eh wala po bang dagdag sa gametime yun, kung sakali magkaroon bukas, ubos na gametime… hindi ko nasulit…
November 15th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
The supposed to be “20hrs” maintenance is annoying. You guys should give us some compensation, better be good, like a mod exp(praying to be in a higher rate) for the next “hopefully” 3 days since you’ll be having your weekly maintenance on Wednesday.
November 15th, 2008 at 7:28 pm

ako wala na akong balak bumalik pa sa RO. mas masayang maglalakad lakad sa totoong mundo kesa maglakad lakad sa loob ng ragnarok world hahaha. Goodluck na lang sa mga hindi pa nakakawala sa kaadikan sa RO. /heh
November 16th, 2008 at 1:20 am
There should be compensation for Valhalla and Valkyrie premium players.
2 days lost due to the server merge process.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:55 am
I found out that New Chaos was up at 02:30AM. I checked my 5 accounts and all of them have something wrong. 4 accounts have characters missing from Tyr, and those characters are worth saving. 1 account has all Tyr charactersbut those are novices with duplicate names for my Freya characters but only the Tyr novices got suffixes. I won’t be able to change the names of my real Freya characters. Also the change name option is not available.
I had setup my 5 accounts so my characters from Baldur and Freya have duplicate names in Tyr so I’ll be able to use the name change. Almost all my characters are named after Star Trek characters but I’m not a Trekkie anymore so I want to rename them.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:21 am
sorry to say… its time to say goodbye pRO…
November 16th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Ano to, walang modified experience? After two days of maintenance, parang wala lang nangyari? Pano na yung load namin sa two days na yun? Yung sale niyo ng items ay di sapat. Tsk tsk. Sana iannounce niyo kung meron o walang mod exp. Nakakadismaya sa totoo lang.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:56 am
hahaha magising na kasi kayo guys sa katotohanan at kumalas na kayo mula sa pagkakabilanggo ninyo sa RO. Mas maganda ang buhay sa totoong buhay kesa sa buhay na umiikot lang sa Ragnarok.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
I’m hesitating to open my account(s)…. I’m too afraid to see what have changed… kasi baka ma-badtrip ako…. andami nagkaproblema… noong nag merge ang loki at chaos hindi ako affected, kaso too late ko na nabasa tong announcement na to… need ko pa to DL a new client… hayz….
November 16th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Any news/update on Ragnarok 2?
November 16th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
sa monday pa pwd gmitn mga split accts..
November 16th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Ayaw gumana ng change password at forgot password sa MYLU. toinks
November 16th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Wala na di ko na mafeel ang PRO, tinry kong bumalek nabored na ako. sana mag labas na LU ng malufet na MMORPG like ragna.. Same old story pag mas matagal ka ng nag bobot mas malakas ka.
November 16th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
As it turns out, the only characters in Freya that was eligible for name change are the ones with duplicate names in Baldur. If your character has a duplicate name in Tyr but not Baldur, only the character in Tyr will have a suffix and the one in Freya will retain it’s original name. REALLY? It sure was nice if that was included in the Server Merge FAQs. Also, we were not informed that not all of the slots in the main account of split accounts would be filled. I deliberately setup my accounts to be split in two. I was with Freya server but I had also actively played at Baldur and Tyr before I stayed in Freya. I left 1 main character in Baldur and deleted the rest, I left 2 or 3 slots empty in Freya for my main character in Baldur and Tyr, making sure that my main characters in Tyr had the lowest numbered slot among all characters then leaving the rest of my characters in Tyr I wanted to keep to be split into a second account. But that didn’t happen. I got my character from Baldur and characters from Freya and a few empty slots in my main account. My characters from Tyr are missing. I didn’t want all of my Tyr characters separated in a split account, I thought that I would get at least keep one or two of them in my main account. Are all of my Tyr characters in a split account now?
I have 5 accounts in RO, they are played by me, my sister and youngest brother. I loaded all 5 accounts 50PHP each just to arrange them for the merge. I had hope that this merge will be the reason we come back to RO but it just turned us off more. This is the last 250PHP I’ll spend in RO. This time RO definitely lost 5 playable accounts and 3 players. I gave RO a last chance but it failed. EPIC FAIL!
November 16th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
This is the biggest mistake that LU have done. Lalong nawala ang gana ng mga players na maglaro sa pinakaprecious game ng Level Up! *Sigh*. I was about to check rin sana kanina e kaso ayaw ng change password at forgot password. Buti na lang hindi pa ako bumibili ng card. Nasayang nanaman sana. Kawawang LU, pabagsak na. hahaha. Goodluck na lang sa inyo kung paano nyo papahalagaan ang natitirang players ng ragnarok, im sure hindi magtatagal yan. /no1
November 16th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
wauks binabasa mo ba negative na siasabi namin tungkol sa pamamalakad ng LU sa ragnarok? kasi kahit sabihan namin na masasama binabalewala nyo lang. hindi nyo kasi muna kinukuha feedback ng mga players mismo bago kayo mag-decide.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:13 am
wat ym ni boss wauks..?
November 17th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Like many players, I am quite disappointed with the outcome of the server merge.
1. Very long server downtime - expected time 20 hours, it took more than double.
2. Slash in subscription rates is only temporary - it’s only a promo!
3. After a long wait - no EXP mod!
How will you expect old players to come back if even active players like me are thinking to quit! LU should think more and listen more to us customers, we are the source of your income. Is it that hard to give 5x EXP once in a while to make us happy?
November 17th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Wala silang pakialam dahil ang iniisip nila sila ay pera lamang at walang quality ang service. gaya nga ng sabi nila ng iba na kapag maraming nagquit dahil jan, maari pang matauhan ang LU. Tawa ako ng tawa sa new campaign ad nila na BALIK RAGNA NA! Nakakapangilabot hahahaha.
November 17th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Sir wauks!
Good thing na disable nila ung godlies… balik sigla na ulit ung pvp rooms! patas na lahat and maraming ulit gusto mgpvp… unlike dati andaming megingjard nkkwalang gana tuloy mg pvp. Sana permanent disabled na ung godlies. /no1
Keep it up wauks/LU! Good job!
November 17th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
walang kwenta strategy nila.. imbis n dumami player.. lalung kumonte player nila… no exp mode, no load promo sa 500load tapos hangang dec. lng ung promo nila sa load… add nyo n ako sa maraming player n mag qquit… gudluk nlng sa sales nyu LUG.. im sure bagsak yan.. hahahaaa..
November 17th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Sana i merge na lahat ng servers para mahawa ang New Chaos sa F2P, pag F2P baka Balik RO na!! hehehe
November 17th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
hindi magiging F2P kung magmerge ang F2P at P2P, yung armory of gods from f2p ang for sure na madadagdag pero yung f2p malabo.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
saya sa pvp ng new chaos.. rambol! mejo lag minsan pero manageable naman.. magkakasubukan na lng ng latency pagdating ng WOE.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
sir wauks, pa check po sa technical team ng LUG ung about sa pag unlock ng account sa ragnarok sa gamer sim… mukhang naapektuhan kc nung nag merge… d ko maunlock ung account ko since kahapon… nung tumawag dn me sa customer support sabi may mga players na gnun dn prob… sana maaus naman un….
November 17th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Maganda siguro kung maglagay ng mga bagong idea at event sa ragnarok. Manghingi ang LUG at Gravity ng mga suggestion sa mga players kung paano pa mapapaganda ang ragnarok…katulad ng:
1. Magkaroon ng stat bonus ang mga #1 sa pvp room. Halimbawa kung ikaw ang #1 sa pvp room izlude meron kang +10,000 sa HP habang nasa loob ka ng pvp room.
2. Event na GM team vs players sa pvp.
3. Card game na katulad sa final fantasy 8.
4. Mga bagong status symbol items in-game.
5. Rentable na mode of transporation…ex. dragon na pwede mong sakyan na katulad ng pecopeco…tapos ay meron pang stat bonus kung nakasakay ka roon.
6. Magkaroon ng trial period na walang load tuwing siege time.
7. Maganda rin sigurong idea na mangopya ng idea sa ibang online games???
November 17th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I wish I could read Tagalog.
@marvin - “Any news/update on Ragnarok 2?”
RO2 fails. Terribly. It has no identity. But it has ~/dance !! … bleh.
@exp mod
I wish RO players would someday STOP asking for mods. Ask for SOLUTIONS. Let’s keep “bread and circuses” in ancient Roman history, please. Hello 21st century!
November 18th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Walang 2 hour load yung mga split accounts paki add po please thank you
November 18th, 2008 at 9:45 am
eto maganda feature na masusuggest ko, STAT RESET lol
November 18th, 2008 at 10:15 am
haha
@CD
tama ka jan sure ako maraming babalik jan :))
November 18th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Oo nga amf yan talaga magpapaka-adik ako uli pag meron nyan! :)
November 18th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Im sure LU will also implement stat reset, and char name change, just like iRO (but need to pay cash).
LU is listening, check out ragnarok website. I am quite satisfied with what they are offering now, I will surely top-up my account.
But what will LU do regarding permanent slash on game time rates?
November 22nd, 2008 at 1:40 am
I miss playing Ragnarok. I used to own a Level 99 Stalker in Urdr.
November 29th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Sir Wauks magkaka name change pa ba na service?
ung para sa nagmula sa baldur…
