The official Philippine Team for the Ragnarok World Championships (RWC) 2007, Team Armada, is currently busy preparing for their battles. They will fly to Seoul to compete on July 21-22, 2007.
Last Friday, I was at their practice session together with makmak641, Waukeen and the pRO Community Managers, Blue and Bubbles.
The fights were intense. To add a handicap, they practiced on a 9 vs. 7 with Team RP being the 7-man.
Whew!
What a long day… I never saw so many comments in a post! Anyways, thanks for those who sent positive feedback. The day was toxic here in the office as Wauks, me and the rest of pRO team and Gravity held a hundred meetings and came up with different scenarios in order to find a fair solution to the problem.
The servers are now up and there has been NO JUNE 1 ROLLBACK (except for a minor one, explained after the jump) and NO ZENNY OR ITEM WIPE. I guess that’s good news for most of you. But we are still aware of the dupe item problem and we’ve read and listened to your feedback and suggestions too throughout the day.

This is as per the official statement on the Ragnarok site:
We’ve been receiving multiple complaints about the duplicated item issue. As such, our IT and GM teams worked together with Gravity to determine the full extent of the exploit. We’ve isolated the problem in the following servers – Baldur, Tyr, and Freya.
Ala lang…
Just wanted to share to you my site’s page rank when it comes to a google search on philippine online games on google.com.ph
Apparently, after sleepless nights trying to figure out SEO vodoo (I mean “tricks”), gmtristan.com is now on the first page and with a higher rank than hackenslash (sorry Joey) and even our own site Level Up Games.

But there seldom are points of view about escapism in Asia (maybe concentrated in Korea and China, the gaming Meccas of our region). But few have dared venture into the pschye and the preference of the Filipino gamer when in comes to escapism and the general preference of the pinoy in games.

Give it your best shot! I just made my own, little flash game in less than 10 minutes! With playmygame.com, it’s super-dooper easy to upload your pic, crop it and then choose a game like boxing or the one below where you’ll get the pleasure of shooting me using a toilet plunger!!! Ouch!

Posted in Contests, General, Level Up, Ragnarok Tags: Contests, General, gm tristan, Level Up, Online Games, online-games, philippine, RagnarokWhile doing some blog-hopping (one of my stress-busters after office work), I came upon Horonaim’s blog. And hell yeah, I haven’t been to that part of the blogosphere lately. And his post on Gamers Need To Read caught my fancy.
It’s still just 1:00AM and I decide to give gmtristan.com one more post about online games (Perfect World in this instance) before shut-eye… with inspiration (and due credit of course to the one of the pillars of “Online Gaming Forum Adminstration” – Horonaim).
Excerpts from his post and my opinions up next…
