Ragnarok Valkyire Server launches this coming Wednesday! That’s only a few nights sleep away and the entire Ragnarok Team is really excited to see it finally go live. On Monday we will be populating the Valkyrie Teaser site with more content. We’ll be posting the final server settings and the initial item mall list on the site. I’d like to take this opportunity to clarify some of the settings and correct some of the misconceptions about the Valkyrie Server. Hopefully this post will shed some more light and will give you guys a better perspective on what the environment of Valkyrie is. I’ll tackle the following issues after the jump: Rare Drops, Basic Server Settings, Card Drops, Emergency Call, and Siege Schedule.

IMPORTANT NOTE: VALKYRIE SERVER OPENS WITH 3X EXP FOR THE FIRST WEEK
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: VALKYRIE SERVER IS INCLUDED FOR RPC 2008

Based on the information above – you can actually play without ever paying but it will be a little difficult. Please understand that this is a business after all and we need to strike a balance so it’s fair for both the company and the community. Besides, it’s easy to slot stuff since the Item Slot Enchant is now available at Rachel. Lastly, we’re having a lot of meetings about bot security lately. Gravity is going to give us an update early next week on what we can do again for Thor. Hopefully we can apply those settings to Valkyrie. In lieu of that, we’ll probably have to create a Midgard Police program dedicated to Valkyrie. More details on that soon.

That’s it for now. I’ll try to give a more detailed update on the Item Mall sometime this weekend. I hope you guys have a relaxing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I plan on sleeping the entire day tomorrow since I was really stressed this week from all the load at work. Valkyrie on October 10! w00t!
