Ragnarok to go Free to Play?
I’ve been receiving a lot of questions and requests about when Philippine Ragnarok Online will finally join almost all the MMORPGs here and go Free to Play.
Players have been asking, our sales people have been bugging me and even people here at the office have pointed this to me a lot of times.
And yes, there ARE rumors out there about pRO going F2P. This post is both a “yes and a no” and hopefully, clarify everything at the end of the day.
Let me give you an inside scoop about the top secret “Valkyrie Project”.
This post will explode in 10 seconds, agent, if you don’t click below… tick…tick…tick…
GOING FREE?
Some may have heard about the “Valkyrie Project”. Here’s what’s real;
3 months ago, our CEO tasked our department to look into the idea of RO going free to play. Upon much deliberation, late nights at the office and trying to pull out our hairs; Wauks then started research on the how the other countries with Ragnarok were doing. I already heard about “something strange and peculiar” in RO China. True enough, Waukeen came back to me and found out the China had all F2P servers - with a twist.
The drop rates were different, the Item Mall setup was also slightly different. Although it was STILL the same RO gameplay and feel, the mechanics of the China servers was what excited us all.
We then burned the midnight oil trying to glean more information on the subject. With the help of our friends from Gravity and the Game Gurus (the GMs from our Product Developement dept), and yes… after a million meetings - Project Valkyrie was born.
Valkyrie will be a FREE-TO-PLAY server. We will launch this commercial server on October 10! Yey! The other commercial worlds (Baldur, Tyr and the rest) will still retain their old business model (subscription + item mall). I’ll have to see first how the Valkyrie server does.
At any rate, the pRO team will be announcing the teasers and put up the marketing materials about Valkyrie (you may have seen the loading screen inside the game na) this week.
Here are some more teasers and bullets about Valkyrie:
- Boss and MVP monsters DO NOT drop boss cards
- Slotted items, weapons and gear are also NOT dropped
- Some maps are PVP enabled
- Ori and Elu are almost NOT dropped, quested or found
- You can buy these and other items at the ITEM MALL
- We will release a CD for this patch (3 CDs)
- Valkyire already has Rachel (whatever the commercial worlds have, Valkyrie has)
- If you already have RO installed, you just need to download a 5MB fix.
- Characters CANNOT be migrated
Before the violent reactions, let me inform you that we have tested this thoroughly and gathered feedback from key players - both current players and those who already quit Ragnarok.
The item prices are fairly reasonable. For example, slotted mufflers cost P10 and various slotted weapons cost from P10 to P50. Even PVP cards such as Tharas, Raydric, and Hydras are anywhere from P20 to P100. And don’t worry about the boss cards, we’ll REGULATE it and will sell a limited supply only. And no, they won’t be released all in one blow - we have an item and card release schedule: think “Magic: The Gathering” boxed sets and you’ll know what I mean.
I also want this server to be dupe and bot-free. So constant testing and confirmation is being done now. We want those items to have value so duping, cheats will be absolutely be unacceptable.
More on Valkyrie in the days to come.
Enjoy!

Bakit magiging bot free yan kung Thor was promised that first? If that server has a system, will that be implemented as well to Thor? Just curious since Thor is still having problems with bot.
But on a brighter note, the F2P server idea is a great way for people to get into the game without paying game time but with certain limitations.

Hi Sir GM Tristan! Hmm actually its my third time in here only i was “is” fan of sir wauks! bait kasi e…
bait ka ba? hehe … ok yan it will bring some of players back to RO… since its free to play… pero pero pero… sana wala nga bot… i doubt na walang bot to since thor is advertized as non bot pro pero until now meron pa rin…. and sana wag namna 100pesos= 1 muffler awwwww.
maybe the right prize will be like 5pesos=1M… yugn parang ginagawa ng mga illegal sellers…
but the whole idea is good! at least po mas marami ulit lalaro…. ^_^

The concept looks OK, although one potential problem is that if any bots get past the bot system of Valkyrie — which I hope also is implemented in Thor — all of them would end up in maps with high zeny income, since the motivation behind botting would be for either levelling or income-making… and what better way to make money than to 1) sell zeny, 2) trade items for zeny, and 3) sell the items for PhP? I hope that LU makes this anti-bot feature REALLY anti-bot, and make the feature also work in Thor, which many feel has been abandoned by LU.

I damn hope that the farking Anti-bot would really keep those scumbags out. We’ve had enough of stinking padded packets, more than enough actually. >.

Bot free or not, I’m really interested in the Valkyrie Server. The question is,what about consumables such as slims and biochemist bottles? Will they also be bought? Sayang I was planning to make a brewer pa naman.
Keep the news coming GM T! A lot of my RO friends (who have either quit or migrated to another game)are “curious” as to what will happen in this free to play server. Ü

This is quite nice to hear, though I probably wont be coming back to RO anytime soon. RO2 nalang.
The prices are a bit steep, and I’m sure upgraded slotted equips will be highly priced in the zeny market. In the long run though, if you’re really gonna stay there, the investment will be worth it.
Also, any news about the exp. rates? Other f2p servers actually have reduced drop/exp rates, and Teleport/Bwing/Fly Wings/Creamy Card are non-existant.
And I do hope the anti-bot works, and like many others said, also give it to Thor.

Sana, kung gusto nyo mang gawing bot-free ang Valkyrie, unahin nyo munang gawing bot-free ang Thor. why? we deserve it. you advertised Thor to be bot-free and we’re PAYING for it.
pero knowing LUG, di na kami aasa. you fooled us once in Thor and shame on you. now, you’re going to fool us twice w/ Valkyrie? di na uy! shame on us na s min un.

May this time this will be really bot free because
the site of the bot program said they will not support botting at Thor anymore and may be likewise in Valkyrie..
except for the experts who have a “know how”.
But please be reasonable on prices, slotted muffler for 10 pesos!! thats too expensive i wonder how much money can i consume for a +7muff[1].

The concept of F2P server is quite good. But lets just hope that it would really be “ALMOST bot free.” I am sure that it won’t, some would still try to hack into the system.
And comparing it with thor, I THINK it’s a better server but we’ll just see. hehehe

I’m hoping that once Valkyrie gets breached by bot the server will be rolled back depending on the analyzed date of breach and shutdown until a patch is made.

Ayekah said

Well, I highly doubt that this initiative will bring back the former RO players who quit. After all, no character migration means starting yet again from scratch. If those old high-level RO players with godly items who quit before can have the willpower to leave it all behind, I doubt enticing them with a supposedly bot-free F2P server with level1 characters will do the job.
Also, items might be moderately-priced piecewise, but how many slotted equips and elus/oris do you actually need to achieve a successful upgrade? Taking the minimum price of P10 for a slotted armor, you will already need to shell out P100 for 10pieces of that. What more about the elus? This P100 load will already get you a week’s worth of unlimited gametime/botting/and items in the normal servers.

I expect that this server would really be bot-free, considering that it’s already free. So banning and deleting accounts wouldn’t be too much of an impact to LU right?

Why do you guys still play ragnarok? its a fun game but Level up sucks. Di ba kayo nasasawa dayain ng level up? Every desicion level up makes is for the MONEY and NOT for the GAME. So kung ako sainyo watch out kung sasali kayo sa server na to kasi im sure kadayaan lang lalabas diyan, LU pa? 100% kadayaan lalabas ng valkyrie na yan ^__^

Why is LUG making another server where we almost made a real game with Thor? It’s true that Thor server have some problems with bot, duppers, etc., and MPs, for me are making a great job from preventing it, diba?
LUG should face these problems and never turn away from it. Kung gagawa pa kayo ng server na exciting, bot free, or bug free, y make another server? iniiwasan nyo naman ung problema. Please improve thor because for us manual players, ito a REAL GAME, ang fulfullment, satisfaction. Pero, kung iniiwasan nyo man ito lalong may katumbas na problema ang dadating. Siguro naman kung palpak ang valkyrie, may other server na naman ang susulpot na parang bula. amp naman!
Moral lesson para sating lahat: Harapin natin ang problema at d iiwasan.
Dismayado ako sa inyo.

well up for GM tristan for popping these out.

This is what many have been asking for!! (since the old days of Urdr). The best strategy to combat bots!
I just hope there’s something for both Urdr and Thor. If not, it’ll turn out that these servers was used just for observation to help you create something bigger and better. What will happen to those who ate your bait?
Although these will discourage botting (and inc earnings) - (IMO) its better if you can both buy and hunt for them.
But WTH, for all you care. XD

here’s my view about Valkyrie:
not a good server to play,
walang teleport, walang butterfly wing. paano kung napalayo ka sa savepoint mo at naubusan ka ng potion?
how can you save yourself from strong monsters without teleport? that is the only way to avoid death.
mabibili ang mga cards for Php? Its business nga talaga. Pooooooooooring card wala na rin.
pwede ba dyan ang mga: @go, @storage, @warp ….???
Mas maganda pa ang features ng mga private servers na Free to Play.

Ako rin, feel ko ang unfair naman ng walang Butterfly Wing. Kung high level ka na, wala ka nang pots at nasa delikadong dungeon ka, papadeds ka nalang?
Sana meron bwing, pero make it pricey, mga 10k isa. Para hindi pede abusuhin haha.
Saka pala kung ihyhypermart na yung mga slotted equips, sana +4 na kagad pag binili namin. Taasan nalang presyo, kesa pakahirap pa mag ups. Korni ng suggestion ko. Rofl.

Hello GM Tristan and posters, I’ve been playing RO since it first came out, quitted, and went back again. As of yesterday, I just decided to quit playing from the Thor Server and decided to wait for valkyrie. As for the bot problems in Thor, I bleive that the vanguards and the Midgard Police have been doing a great job banning these abusive players, so I guess they won’t have much problem for valyrie (esp. PK, let other players deal with the bots).
As for valkyrie, I think it would be a hit. A greater start, free to play game, since I know a whole lot of kiddos who watch me when I play at shops saying that they dreamed of playing RO but they can only afford computer rentals (RO Unplugged should be a bit more strict). But I think that the only disadvantage would be that the players with richer families would most likely dominate the game, which could end up in disappointment for others when their looking for, let’s say, a better place to build relations/friendship. But then, I know there isn’t any perfect servers, so problems would arise every now and then, but overall, I’m looking forward to Valkyrie and be assured this project has been in my prayers. Good luck and congratulations on such a wonderful idea. I’m one of the players who would support you 101%. Best of luck, hail valkyrie.

pahabol, Filipinos have brilliant minds, more on the negative and less on the positive. They try to make bots and LU tries its best to defend the game from bots, and the RO tech team wouldn’t be eating crackers while bots ruin Midgard. Battle of brilliant minds, but I believe that it will always turn out for the better in the end. Sana lang wag naman maghari ang mga mayayaman sa pRO Valkyrie, as of the MVP Cards at Hypermart, for me, that would be heaven, but for others, to be fair nalang, sana di na ibenta sa hypermart, baka may mga obsessed children na hindi na kumakain may ipambili lang ng load, promise, I wa shocked (I’m a nurse) na nagkaron ako ng pediatric patient na hindi na kumakain para lang makabili ng load ng RO. /omg

Ragnarok - i played this game since it was beta… kaso lang pumangit na nun lumabas yung bot… mga botters lang lumalakas, sobrang yaman.. compared to some manual players na sobrang fanatic in RO na sobrang nag-iisip of techniques how to conquer the game or to be successful. When bot came sobrang boring na ng laro… Nakakainggit yung iba nagchachat nalang kc naka bot nman sila… Wow d bah? They get more items and cards than the usual manual player does. Basta sobrang boring na na makakakita ka ng character na parang naglalarong walang buhay di mo man lang makausap, tele ng tele lang.. iba talaga tulad ng dati andun yung interaction… friendship even love… Nakapaglaro na rin ako ng ibang games… Tales of Pirates, Ran Online, Flyff, Even Ragnarok Online II Korean Beta nilalaro ko ngayon… What Im thinking about this server Free to Play – Valkyrie guys… cguro napapansin nyo parang unfair d bah dahil lahat binibili… think about it… about the other games… may iba nabibili mo tapos nawawala after 7 days… you need to be a pure adik to satisfy dun sa nabili mo… yung iba naman cost 3k for a permanent good item… mas maganda na yun kesa nawawala…d bah? Think about the Valkyrie server… pwedeng maging bot free.. kasi PK mo lang bots dun d na makakapag-tele. Tsaka ano use ng Zeny? If lahat binibili.. buy mo ng Pots now is the time to use your mind… to make some interactions with players.. d ba makakahanap ka pa ng friends helping them to get through the game…not gain friends because mayaman ka? Dahil sa kakabot? LOL… D talaga mawawala bots pag may Tele.. think about the configuration ng bots pag walang tele d bah parang walang silbi? Teleports for bots only.. nun naglalaro naman ako I don’t usually use teleport.. iniisip ko naman kc lugar na pede kong paglevelan eh… tsaka may party naman may priest naman healers… yung binibili item ok lang yun basta pa permanent… LOL tsaka Free to Play mean d ka na maproproblema pag mauubusan ka ng load you can play as long as you want… parang it’s a new beginning away from abusers… Ragnarok Online 2 does not have Teleports and level 50 lang highest lvl ewan beta palang cya.. pero sa tingin ko much exciting RO1 basta wala lang mga bots… sobra na kc.. some got fame doing nothing.. its unacceptable d bah? Kung sa tingin nyo mayayaman lang maghahari sa Valkyrie? I don’t think tama yun… you cant get the fame for just being strong… be a good Samaritan and be famous… or do some cool things to be famous… and iba kc lumakas lang dahil sa mga bots eh..? or shall I say.. almost all are bots dependant… its impossible to earn 15M – 30M a week without botting.. or so.. cguro kung magaling ka lang… I gain 5 – 10M a day dati just Buy and Selling items… kc.. in order to be tough in RO you need zeny naman talaga… ayus lang naman sakin bumili ng muffler eh pede ko naman yan ibenta in game… kesa magload ako ng 100 for nothing… nauubos lang din load ko at wala akong napapala.. halos lahat ng mobs inubos na ng bots.. poinks… but for sure.. babalik ako try ko Valkyrie Server… actually im downloading the full client right now.. na dispose ko na kc RO cd’s sa inis ko eh… Amp na botters talaga yan…!!!!

wag na tayong maglaro nito para matauhan LevelUp! ..
kung 50players lang ang population ng Valyrie, cguro naman maiisip nila na may mali ..
at ung mali na un ay ang:
No tele ..
No Boss Drops (equips, cards, elu/ori) ..
PK enabled w/o Tele ..
p10 = muffler[1] ..
•~! napabayaan na THOR server ..
at marami pang iba ..
hahayyzzzz ..
mahina pala mag-isip mga tao sa level-up! ..

I have a comment, If you really hate valkyrie so bad dont play it. LUG is not begging you to play the server and most of all server is made to the player who wants to play for free besides if you dont agree to their game condition to make long story short dont play…

Meron ng teleport mga ungas… cguro takot lang mga botters na mawalan ng pagkakakitaan… uu nga naman pag walang mga gamit wala silang magiging zeny… and aim naman ng LU is para wala ng magbot d bah? e2 Valkyrie Server talaga ng walang magbobot… kung meron man for level lang and.. its so hard for botter na mangayri yung kc ala na zeny babye na business kaya grabe silang mag react hehehe… the Server have 2500+ plus na ngayon.. cguro naman d lahat bot and we level by partying not botting.. cge ingatz nalang sa mga ibang servers na talamak sa bot.. malakas lang dun mg botter hehehe ^^

Ngayon ko lang na pansin mayrooon isa diyan ang nasisiraan ng bait dahil sa mababaw na dahilan.
My question, has botting become a form of cyber-bullying in pRO? From the way I read and interpret the meanings behind some botter’s rant is that he/they need to prove himself/themselves strong by putting down other people, sometimes to the point of hurting other people virtually, through words and actions.

Tama si fatman, cyber bullying nga yan kung maiituring. Some people like to harass others whom they think are below themselves in this virtual society that are MMORPGs. Nakakatawa, nagaangas at nagyayabang. The mere fact na laro lang ito ay nagsusuggest na walang stable na future na makukuha ang isang taong ginagawang pseudo-life niya ito. Entertainment lang ito at pampalipas oras. Feeding your ego by manifesting ignorant principles is just so let’s say immature and childish. Brag and brag. What they can’t do in the realm of reality they commit rigorously in these cyber worlds. So sa mga botters diyan na nagbrabrag na mas magaling sila sa ibang hindi nagbobot, magisipisip muna kayo kung may value ang pananalita ninyo. Puro salitang balbal at informal jargons nalang lumalabas. Well, sa tingin ko it’s to much to ask for every people to be act decently on the internet. Pasalamat kayo dahil may anonymity dito. But in reality, values are earned through an active conscience. Babanat ng babanat ng mga salita just to feed their o so pitiful ego. Isipin niyo na lang kung sinong tatawa sa huli pag nasa harap na kayo ng mundo kung saan moralidad ang dapat nanaig.

I am a current player of Valkyrie,,,, actually returning player ako ng RO,,, tagal ko na tinigil un kc ang dami malalakas at mayayaman by botting lang,,, sobrang unfair kc,,,, valkyrie currently have 6000 players and still counting…
tama ung sinabi ng iba,,, mahirap ung walang tele at bwing,,, kc natry ko na madeds dahil naubusan ako ng arrow equips,,, tapos wala akong tele at bwing ayun nadeds ang archer na walang kalaban laban,,, but all is for a reason naman eh,, no boss mvp card drop, slotted weapons and armors, ibig sabhin hindi yayaman mga botter d2,, kung meron man magbot cguro para makapaglevel lang,,, and tulad din ng sabi ng iba,, useless ang zenny d2 kc mabibili na mga cards and equips for php….. but looking on the brighter side,, free to play naman =) i am no longer oblige to play everyday para lang d masayang ung load ko na 100php for 1 week,,, aheheheh lalo na sa tulad ko na konti lang time para makapaglaro,,, dahil sa work ko…
anyway,, its nice to be back! aheheh congratulations sa level up for the success launching of project valkyrie! para sa mga wala pang valkyrie client,,,, download u lang sa level up ung full client… after that,, bago nyo i patch ung valkyrie,, patch nyo muna ung RO client… kc ung valkyrie client agad ung i patch nyo may lalabas na err na ‘cannot find file: /sprite’ tips lang pow para sa mga gustong maglaro ng valkyrie,,,,

I’m a level 48 thief named BrianTam in Valkyrie. i started my thief a week ago and I’m currently leveling up in the Sograt Dessert. To be exact, go out of Izlude to the left and keep going down. When you reached the portal, you will see Baby Dessert Wolves i think and some Pickys. Again, keep going down and you will notice two portals separated by a mountain formation. Go to the right portal and you will enter a map filled with Pecopecos. Go down again and you will enter the Sograt Dessert in which I level in.
When you enter that Sograt Dessert, you will see Snakes, Anacondaqs, Side Winders and Dessert Wolves. Now, I’m level up and i can see 10 players of almost the same names. And they are:
M-001
M-002
M-003
M-004
M-005
M-006
M-007
M-008
M-009
M-010
2 Priests and 8 Monks leveling in that area. I thought it was a coincidence that all 10 characters had the same names. I then thought that this guy owned a Interet Cafe and was super addicted to the game and decided to open 10 computers and play 10 different characters in it and had his friends play with him.
At first, i find it strange because they are really strong characters judging by their damage which is around 250-350. So what i thought at first was,
“These guys are so lazy to level up their characters in high level monsters because they don’t want to waste their pots”.
I laughed about that matter and that’s the end of the day so i slept. The next morning i quickly turned on my PC becuase (I’m a noob) I found Ragnarok Valkyrie Philippines to be rather exciting. So i logged in, and went to the same spot where i leveled and i found the same 10 characters leveling up in the same spot. All 2 Priests and 8 Monks in the same spot.
It’s been about 3 weeks and I made my own Knight. Level 59 named BernieTam and I’m currently using it to spy on them because my thief can’t handle the damage the monsters inflict on me. So I started getting suspicious that these players or should I say an addicted player opening 10 computers is actually a bot!
It’s been another week (i’m not kidding) and I still see them in the same place doing killing every monster they see (Snakes, Anacondaqs, Dessert Wolfves, Side Winders, Drops and Poporings). And I’ve bore a grudge on them because a lot of my online friends who are not bot users party with me in the same Sograt Dessert as those 10 botters and they somehow steal all the monsters. We all have this spot in the map where a lot of Snakes and Anacondaqs spawn and we see a Monk or two go there and attack the same monsters we attack.
Point is, i think something should be done like, observe them. I find all the other players who are not bot users and those who strive to level up with the bot users. Please GM Tristan, I’d greatly appreciate if you make a move on them or something, i think we all know that around 40% or more Valkyrie players use bots. Please sir, I’d really, really, really, really appreciate it if you do something about them.
