Valhalla Server Now Open!
Philippine Ragnarok Online’s latest free-to-play server, Valhalla, is NOW OPEN! The server will be on 3x EXP for one week and the EXP death penalty will be reduced to 1% as we celebrate Valhalla’s birth. Take note that the Web Awards Massive Sale is also applied to Valhalla, which means that a lot of the items are very affordable right now. As usual though, there were some issues that we encountered during the launch and I’d like to share them with all of you today. More on the after the jump.
Here are some announcements posted earlier at the Ragnarok Website:
Valhalla Advisory
Date Posted: Nov. 30, 2007
In just a while, the gates to the Divine Hall of Heroes, VALHALLA, will open. Before the journey is over, we would like to advise you regarding some matters you may encounter upon arrival to Valhalla:1. Priests migrated from Thor will be missing the skills points they have allotted for the Teleport Skill even though the said skill has already been removed.
2. Accounts migrated from Thor may also experience difficulty with regard to logging-in some of their characters.
Please rest assured that we shall address these matters as soon as possible. For now, however, please just wait for any further announcements regarding these matters.
On a positive note, in addition to the 3x Exp Mod, we will also be temporarily lowering the 5% Exp loss penalty upon death to just a mere 1%!
So prepare yourself heroes of Midgard! The journey is almost at its end. We will be arriving at the Divine Hall of Heroes, Valhalla, at 2:00PM!
We’ll see you all there! Rok On!
pRO Team
*Please note that we’re focused right now on fixing the accounts of the Thorians who can’t log-in Valhalla. If all goes well, everything should be okay by next maintenance.
Lastly, here’s an update on the Game Time conversion to Rok Points:
Valhalla Rok Point Insertion
Date Posted: Nov. 30, 2007
Heroes from Thor!Please be advised that all Rok Point insertions, converted from remaining game time, for Thor accounts that have at least one (1) Level 70 Character in Thor and has logged in at least once in Thor ever since October 28, 2007 shall be done on December 7, 2007.
Rok On!
pRO Team
That’s it. If you have any CONSTRUCTIVE comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let me know via this post. The RO Team will also be monitoring the Ragnaboards for any incident reports.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Welcome to Valhalla!

Mahirap magpalevel sa Valhalla since di namin ma log in ang mga characters namin. Laging DC. Ang hirap ding maka-konek, You need to log in at least 10x bago ka makarating man lang sa character mo.

@Artemis: Okay now that’s a big issue. Forwarded the concern already to the GM Team and IT.

Sir, if the bug is fixed after the next weekly maintenance then there’s no compensation for the ones affected by the migration bug?
About the character login then DC bug, this is almost the exact replica of what happened during Thor’s worst case during early March. Except that the working characters have can access of the mailbox and kafra storage.
And another thing, yung colored bonnets sa hypermart, I forgot what they were called, yung pink, grey and blue bonnets, one of them is prized 350 while the other two are 700. Just pointing it out. /heh

I agree, lalo na sa loob ng mga agits. Hindi ka halos makalakad.
Thanks nga pala Wauks, na-solve na ng maintennance kahapon ang problem sa mga thor characters na di na makalog-in at biglang dc.
OT. Sira ba ang RB? Kahapon ko pa ina-access pero di ko mabuksan.

What’s the update on the Teleport skill for Acolytes, Monks and Priests? Do we get a free skill reset or something?
Speaking of reset, what happened to the free skill reset for level 40 (and below) characters that was in Prontera BEFORE THE HYPNOTIST EVENT??? I mean it was there since Hugel patch I think, and I was really taking advantage of it before… and it only disappeared after the Hypnotist event.
