Gamer Babe Jhelly

August 20, 2008 · Filed Under Gamer Babe, Ragnarok, Crazy Kart · 49 Comments 

It’s been ages since I got someone to interview for Gamer Babe.

Good thing I found the perfect subject today. Meet Angiellee Reyes, or Jhelly Ace to her friends. Jhelly is an avid Ragnarok and Crazy Kart player. Aside from MMORPGs, her hobbies include surfing the net and singing. According to her, Ragnarok is “not just a game but a part of my life.”

She’s also active in the Agit sieges in Ragnarok and had some tough moments too.

 

Her complete bio and interview after the break…

Level Up Rewards

July 11, 2008 · Filed Under Level Up, MMORPG News, Perfect World, Ragnarok, RF Online, Flyff, Marketing · Comment 

It’s been a long time coming…

Remember all those Rewards points accumulating in your MyLevelUp? Yeah! Now there’s something in store for all you loyal Level Up players - the new Level Up Rewards program.

What is it, you may ask? Well, everytime you top up, you get special points (for every P5.00, you get 2 reward points). If you use the SMS service from the Gamer Sim you get 1 reward point for every service costing P2.50 and 6 reward points if you download MMS content.

You then simply go to the Rewards Program page and choose what in-game goodies you want for your character. If you can “afford” it, it’s yours! Automatically inserted. It’s that simple.

More after the break.

RPC Exhibition Match

June 4, 2008 · Filed Under Ragnarok, Events, LIVE 2008 · 2 Comments 

Last Saturday, May 31, I was at the Robinson’s Galleria together with GM Chastity, GM Cassiel and the rest of the RO team for an exhibition match between 2008 RPC defending champions, Bozanian Beastfighter and Telios.

This is a grudge match and both were willing to set the record straight. Matira ang matibay, ika nga!

The Robinson’s event also featured raffles, a headgear contest, a cosplay presentation by the Frost Jokers led of course by RO vet and idol Master Diwa.

I had the honor of being asked to assist in commentating for the game proper between Boza and Telios. It was basically a race to 3 (or best of five). More on the match and a photo essay after the jump

March 31, 2008 · Filed Under MMORPG News, Ragnarok · 4 Comments 

Here’s some latest update from everyone’s fav anticipated MMO title, Ragnarok 2.

According to the translated script of this Japanese article, Gravity Korea announced an update last March 26, 2008 on Ragnarok Online 2.

An “Armor Reinforcement System” allows protective equipment to provide special effects, thus giving more value to equipments than normal items. Monsters are also to use a variety of skills and improved strategies when fighting. High-level characters can now go through more than newly added 100 quests.

And yes, that’s the entire translation of that short update. That’s all she wrote, ika nga. I’ll update more as news come in.

User Generated Ragnarok Battle Animation

March 12, 2008 · Filed Under Videos, Ragnarok · 5 Comments 

We all acknowledge talent in the community. I for one know how creative players can be. In fact, I always stressed the importance of UGC (or User Generated Content) for a game. If the content can’t actually be used for the game client, at least it creates a viral impression upon players and would-be new members of the playing population.

Take this great video, for example. Created by http://check-it.org/14/ it features awesome, new sprite animations for most of the job classes that we love for Ragnarok.

Ready? Let’s see it now…
