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!

    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

    @…Jaymart…
    inde ko alam kung maawa ako dahil inde mo maintindihan kung bakit kailangang fixed pricing ang valkyrie or matatawa ako kasi libre na nga gusto mo pa ng dagdag.

  11. lol says:

    but the whole idea is good! at least po mas marami ulit lalaro…. ^_^

    huh?? panung dadami eh laos n ragna??? ryt??? saka panu ddmi ang maglalaro, sure ba yan na dupe at bot-free?

  12. Maxz says:

    Bwing sana naman meron ganun.. and yung boss card dapat
    di ibentasa itemmalls dapati drop nalang meron naman nang pk sa mga MVP maps and ibaba yung droprate ng boss card kung pwede.

    And btw where can we DL the Valkyrie Client?
    walang RB kaya mahirap makahanap ng info.. is ther a new one?

  13. LOmiE`` says:

  16. 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…!!!!

  17. Buratzkee says:

    sus.!! pra san p zenny d2??? amp … ala p tele… wats d use ?? nwalan nga ng lod lhat nmn n bbli wala p drop mga monsters… weeeehhh!! bka walang mag laro ni2…

    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! ..

    Hindi naman ako power hungry players katulad ng iba
    kahit +4 equips lang for leveling enjoy na.

    And its FREE dami pang reklamo…

  21. Lynxer says:

    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…

  22. 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 ^^

  23. alucardver says:

    r u sure na wala ng mag bbot? minamaliit mo ata ang kakayahan ng mga hackers at botter… We have a lots of good programmers… kayang kaya yan gawan ng remedyo, sa ngayon, ginagawa ko na rin ang bot ko para dito. hahaha. sad to say, but we can’t stop by just removing the tele warp. Sleep Tight Bot Hard… Play Lately…

  24. Renaissance says:

    mga kuyang programmer henge naman po ng bot para sa valkyrie

    godbless sa mga programmer sana magawa nyo ung bot

  25. Bot Max Play says:

    Ahahay! sarap magbot sa valkyrie!! talo nga lang sa mobbing… pero ok na rin sa level… pwede naman sa low level monsters magpalevel since free to play naman… wakakakak!! mga weak! di lang kayo marunong magbot!! hahaha!!!

  26. Bot Max Play says:

    mga bopols lang ung iba jan, palibhasa ndi marunong magbot at naiinggit sa ibang botters… wawawi sarap magbot sa free to play!! wakakaka!!

  27. fatman says:

    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.

  28. Kysh says:

    uhm… ask ko lang po kung pede bang makapag install at makapaglaro kung nsa USA ka… i want to play valkyrie but im not sure kung pede… please respond, thank you!

  29. ErickMjx says:

    magkaron naman kasi ng onting tyaga…
    tignan mko matyaga hahaha lvl 81 na BS ko… 82 na mamaya un pahinga muna at kain mode… tas adik mode w/tyaga at patience lng…
    sa mga botters jan… beware, meron ngang police na umiikot at tatanungin ka kung bot ka at mag papagawa sau… pag hindi mo nagawa ibig sabihin bot ka.. kulong ka hahahaha… ayun, e hindi ko trip mag bot kaya kahit ilang beses nko napagkamalan eh, tuloy parin ang ligaya kasi mano-mano players ako hahaha.
    hoping to be the at least in the first five of whitesmith… /gg

  30. Night Eyes says:

    Sir, i went to some shops at may mga botter pa rin po at may auto-log out at log in po sila para di mahuli.

    hay akala ko pa naman malinis ang server na ito. nag-quit na ako sa vanro para maglaro uli sa PRO pero naturn-off ako after knowing na may mga bot pa sa valkyrie.

  33. This is just a game. A pseudo-reality, says:

    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.

  34. GM.. may tanong ako… lagi kac ako dc sa valkyrie.. nag start nung last emergncy patch..nov 9, 2007.. DC due to time gap.. pa ayos namn pow please….thnx

    Please be advised that anyone who is caught using a third party program/bot in Valkyrie server shall be suspended permanently.

    Please be guided accordingly.

    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.

    GM Tristan Honestly you can’t stop the botting i think… there’s always a counter-anti on your anti. so many good underground programmers maybe, i also used bot i admit, kasi naman hirap ng magpalevel kapag 90 na… but its more fun kung sakaling may solution na toh… i remember the first launch of this game i really enjoy it… but few months after that, meron ng mga bot programs… tapos ngaun meron pang-Dupe… kasi meron akong nakilala noon binigyan nya kami ng tigpa-500M kasi daw sawa na sya sa zennies few clicks lang daw yon bawi na nya… imagine that… hope to make this game more secure… camaraderie? wala na sya kasi 80% bot na!!! ito lang ang networkgame na paboritong kong laruin… if only i can help but mas magagaling talaga sila…isumbong ko kaya syo yong ibang programmers hehe… Have a nice day sir…

    GM tristan, I agreed with angel, I guess there is no stopping for botting, I also believe that those who provide bot programs are working from levelupgames itself =) just a conclusion, but I dont have any evidence. Anyway, Right now im playing Grand Chase, and I kinda enjoy it ^_^ Hope you’ll also release Ragnarok 2. I was able to download one on the internet, onyl the languae is korean and I cant understand it. So I stop playing it. ^_^

    asa pa na walang bot yan… nag laro ako last year pa, pinaloadan ko p ung account ko.. puro bot p rin. ang dami ko n nbasa na blogs tungkol d2.. same old thing. free 2 play?? come on, it is inevitable na mag sasara rin yang ragnarok kasi wla ng players, example na lang yung pag merge nila ng mga servers into one.. business is business… wala n rin fresh new players n mglalaro p nito.. it is very easy to identify botters, kahit cnu kaya mag identify kung bot o hindi. but still they are not banned from the game, bcuz business is business..
