Goodbye ROSE Philippines

August 6, 2007 · Filed Under Level Up, MMORPG News, Videos

At exactly 12:00 noon today, Philippine Rose Online was online for the last time.

As we’ve announced, Level Up will cease operations of the game for valid reasons. It’s been a good couple of years for the game and I’d like to thank everyone who had had the opportunity to play the game especially to the loyal pROSE players, most of whom are now in Perfect World.

It’s really sad to finally say goodbye to a game. ROSE was our third game (after Oz and RO) and was, for a time, the 2nd biggest MMORPG in the country. There have been a lot of managers assigned to tackle the brand and the community. Each had a distinct style on how to run it. There were lessons learned and much experience gained.

Sadly, content is really the mantra or the life-blood of any MMORPG. Without it, things will certainly spiral down. Even the best marketing efforts and the best events can only do so much.

Let’s all take a moment of silence for the legacy which is ROSE.

Now, I leave you with one of my favorite videos from the game. Of course, made by video-guru and pROSE player, Noratu:

It’s the Pinoy Big Brother version/dance with ROSE characters.

Goodbye ROSE! You will be missed

I remember when ROSE started. There was such an outpouring of support from the community that everyone knew it was going to be a hit. I’m sad to see it leave us.

Yeah, me too. Rose had one of the most disciplined communities around.

Goodbye ROSE

I even wrote a feature on is a few months back hoping to get things rolling again. Sadly, it was too late. I did enjoy playing it again, though. Sayang talaga.
