Ragnarok War of Emperium 2.0 Details
This is a follow-up to the Ragnarok War of Emperium 2.0 Video Post I did a few weeks ago. I did some more research and I’d like to share with everyone a few more details about this latest feature of Ragnarok Online. Note that this is already EXISTING in Korea, and it’s only a matter of time before we see this here in the Philippines. To those who have no idea what Ragnarok WoE 2.0 is, it’s basically the newest siege feature for Ragnarok Online come Episode 12.1: Satan Morroc.
Protection Stone & Barricade
Read more about Ragnarok War of Emperium 2.0 after the jump!
War of Emperium 2.0 is really different from the Agit Siege that we’ve all gotten used to in the past 4 years. There won’t be pre-cast defense or even leap-based offense. The game will now be more strategic since the entire castle is just one huge map. It’s really more of a fortress than a castle. There are two new castle maps - Schwaltzwald and Arunafeltz.
Schwaltzwald Castles
How do you win in WoE 2.0? Break the Emperium! However, you cannot break the Emperium unless you break 2 Protection Stones and Barricades. The Protection Stones are situated in highly defensible areas and you can’t storm the inner fortress if both stones are still standing. After that, you still need to take down the Barricades and only after that can the invading guild reach the inner sanctum and attempt an assault on the Emperium.
Talk about one hell of a siege eh?
But wait! There’s more! 
The Protection Stones also can be used by the defending guild to summon upgraded Guardians. Like their predecessors, the strength and defense of the guardians depends on the investment level of the castle. Note that these guardians are much more powerful and can really cause massive damage compared to the weak guardians everyone got used to.
Arunafeltz Map
Scattered all over the fortress are also guild flags that the defending guild can use to teleport to key strategic points within the castle.
Combine everything that I’ve just told you can you can really feel how different War of Emperium 2.0 will be. The terrain of the land will matter more than ever and guilds that do strategic planning will have an edge over guilds that just rush in with no clear idea on what the members of their guild will do during combat.
Lastly, new godly items will also be introduced with Episode 12.0. That means that players will have to collect new ingredients from the treasure boxes. Anyway, that’s it for now. I’ll be posting more updates on future content in the coming days.

Xcited n ako haha!!
January 7th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
wow! gnda nyan! yey!!! sana this march na yan! hehehe! tnx sir wauks 4 the update!!!
January 7th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
hmmm what happens if the protective stones and the barricades have been destroyed but the defending guild near the emperium manages to sweep away the invaders? do those stones and barricades have some kind of summon time so that there would be both again? (of course it would be right to assume that once the invading guild manages to break the emp, both the barricades and the stones would be rebuilt automatically)

PA OT: pde po bang pa announce if tlagang implemented na yung randomized spawn time ng mga boss kasi minsan tagal lumabas ng boss kahit hawak ko ang time… pra nmn aware kami! nasasayang bubble gum ko! amp!

@wauks: Paglabas ba ng patch, back to zero ulit lahat ng agits?
January 7th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
sir I have a question…
so its like DotA with us having to take down primary towers in order to get to the main emperium? just clearing things…
I dunno if it will benefit the attacking party but it will really be hard to take down an agit coz its like cracking three(?) emps in one castle…
but then again that’s one hell of a siege…
January 7th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
sa tingin ko, matagal tagal pa yan.. pero nakaka excite..
January 7th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
comment ko lng for me..:
activity or event ata dis year sa pRO ay::::::>
feb- “veins”
middle month mga june or july ata or lampas pa ay ung “merchenary”
where biochem can summon swordie/archer if i’m not mistaken…
pandagdag sa mga homunculus.. dagdag AI
tpos i rurush daw kung kakayanin yung “satan morocc” kung saan kasama yang woe 2.0 .. mga november or december ata.. sa pagkaka sabi ni kuya wauks…
tama b kuya wauks?
January 7th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
New Godly Items… hmmm… Interesting!
January 7th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
@Sniff: Yup! We’re going to try our best to get that patch (with Siege 2.0) within the year!
January 7th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
pustahn mgmamahal n yung card pmbwas s mga guardian magiipon n ako nang card n yun hehehe
January 7th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
@sniff
I think it’s “mercenary” not “merchenary”
and i also think that it’s contract base meaning any job (except 1st class and novices, I think) can hire them thus the coin term “mercenary” meaning for hired help.
everything else, yes.
January 7th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
isa p pla kung mlks ang guardian ano elmnt nyan mas maskit yan pag ghost porperty yan kwawa ulit bio chem hehehe.sir wauks u mean b n hnd mkukuha emp kapg hnd winwask ang 2 stone aw kht pla nsa emp n yung klbn kht isang stone lng yung bntyn nila hnd nila mkukuha agit..aw nid nga tlga mataas n lvl n agit at mga ally nyan saktong 3 ally lng pwede s isang guild hehehe asteg n lbnan ubusan ng pots to
January 7th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
correction @myself for sniff
any job lvl 15 higher can hire a mercenary (still unsure bout the novices though)
January 7th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
looking forward ako sa mercenary system. By the way, magagamit ba mercenaries during sieges or pang monsters lang sila?
January 7th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
@sir wauks
sana po marami pong in-game(pde din irl, /gg) events sa pRO commercial and valkyrie/valhalla servers para mabuhayan naman po ang community
January 8th, 2008 at 12:10 am
Hindi kaya ang mangyari pa rin niyan eh inde na lang bantayan ng defending guild yung towers at magconcentrate na lang sa Emp Room pa rin? La lang kasi alala ko dati nung umpisa ng WoE eh datai halos bawat room ay may mga bantay pero ngayon concentrated na lang malapit or sa loob ng Emp Room.
Just my 2 zennies.
January 8th, 2008 at 12:47 am
wauks perfect map yan para sa GvsG (guild(s) vs guild(s))… tulad ng nangyayari dito sa baldur server. Guild vs guild kami kung lumaban kasi boring na ung map at ung babasag ka lng tpos wala lng =))
January 8th, 2008 at 6:13 am

January 8th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
sir wauks san na po ung 100load ala pa sa email eh hehehe lapit na siege T_T
January 8th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Sir Wauks, kamusta na po yun sitwasyon sa URDR? May pag-asa pa ba yun server na ayaw mamatay, katulad na lamang sa motto ng bayan ko sa Batangas, “the town never refuses to die”, sayang yun Thor, it died then resurrected, then vandalized, lost it’s glory as a pay to play server (P2P).
Sana yun third-party issue maayos na… Be coordinated naman kayo sa ibang Ragnarok distributors dahil may spies na GM… (hmmm… maaring GM ng Ragnarok sa ibang bansa may collaboration sa third party developers… maari kaya?)
Baka 2013 pa bago matupad yun nakasulat dito… Ang bagal kasi… Kaso di naman ako nagmamadali… IRO na Veins na eh.
Waukster.com is accepted in Opera Mini.. Natry ko na ito na itype using a cellphone ang post ko dito. Just like a computer… Kung may cellphone kayo, search and download this via WAP.

u can precast,
the barrier things after u break the protection stones are really annoying. they are plants which only take one damage so u need very good AOEs but… the defending team can sanctuary and precast on top with a Magnetic earth. very hard to defeat, not talking bout the gardians etcetc
January 9th, 2008 at 10:42 am
wauks pa tsek nman ung race size elem etc ng mga baricades na yan at nung emp.. pareho prin b ung size and type ng emp n yan kesa sa natural n emp?? pate ung baricade…
January 9th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
ang kulit nung isang emp parang kahoy na kinabitan ng turnilyo^^<v
January 13th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
protection stone ang tawag sa “kahoy” na yun..
