Nidhoggur’s Nest

Overview:
Episode 13.2 made our adventures exciting again with the addition of a new instance dungeon called Nidhoggur’s Nest. The dungeon found in the New World features two levels of mazes and a boss room that houses the dreaded Nidhoggur’s Shadow. Nidhoggur’s Shadow is said to have resided on the roots of Yggdrasil tree devouring the nutrients from the roots. The Lapine tribe at the west part of Midcamp is seeking for the help of adventurers to stop Nidhoggur’s Shadow from draining life out of the Yggdrasil tree.

Last Days of Nidhoggur Farming

Renewal had become a common news to all Ragnarok enthusiasts. The expected changes brought about by renewal was drastic. Almost everything will be changed when renewal hits the main servers. As preparation my friend Angel_Fist has thought of farming the item "Piece of Agent Skin [1]" before it will be impossible to do so.

Patch Notes: October 13, 2010

Renewal is officially released on the commercial server of pRO! I'm excited on the renewal changes to our servers especially the implementation of the 3rd jobs. It's a major patch that is estimated to last until 7 in the evening. Even with the hype brought by the patch, the GMs already released an advisory regarding known bugs and down maps. It's sad to say that with renewal we will also be bearing with bugs that may arise. With the renewal patch there are a lot of hypermart discounts and new gears so check them out also.

Renewal Background Story

Renewal is fast approaching. Two more days to go and everything that you know of Midgard will change. The landscape of leveling up, boss hunting, instance dungeons, guild sieges and pvps will also change as the world of Ragnarok is renewed. With my instinctive web browsing I was able to look at the background story created by iRO at Warp Portal. I read them all and they have a very nice story behind the renewal.

Aside from the Renewal Update background story, they also have class specific story. Each job class has its own story on how they came about in Ragnarok Online. For the rest of background stories please read after the break.

Last Minutes of euRO

Ragnarok Online Europe also known as euRO has come to its end. I found a video posted at ragnaboards capturing the last moments of the players who bid good bye to their servers. The servers of euRO has shut down last September 30, 2010 because they failed to renew their license with Gravity Inc. From what I've read euRO players will be transferring to Ragnarok Online France (fRO). I have no idea with the legalities of their transfer but it's so sad for their part to say good bye to their dear server. For additional info you can read the iRO wiki forums.

While I'm watching the video a lot of memories suddenly flashed back. The background music "Streamside" made it even more touching because it's the first field BGM that you will hear during the beta days of pRO. I'm touched with the video because it shows the last good byes of the players with their dear server together with their friends, guildmates and even strangers.

Patch Notes: October 6, 2010

Patch notes are up yesterday afternoon and there's nothing special this week. Well most of the patch notes contains hypermart sale. Players who were saving up for Gym Pass and Neuralizer, this is your time to get the items at a very cheap price. There's nothing more to say about the patch so read the rest of the write up after the jump.

Ragnarok World Championship 2010 Results

The Ragnarok World Championship 2010 has commenced last October 2 and 3 at Jakarta Indonesia. Eleven countries had joined the championship namely Philippines, Brazil, France, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, China, Thailand, Malaysia, USA and Taiwan. Fans all over the world has been given a chance to watch the matches thru a live streaming hosted at ustream site but due to crappy reception our viewing is terrible.

Our countries representative had been chosen from the champion of Ragnarok Philippine Championship 2010 (RPC2010) road to Indonesia. At the end of RPC 2010, the pride of our country rests on the shoulders of Team Shivans (Naked Babies). If I'm not mistaken they have undergone a rigorous practice before their actual matches in Indonesia.

After the intense battles the results has been announced. The winner for RWC 2010 this year goes to Thailand. On the second place we have Japan and Philippines comes third. I'm personally proud with our representatives because they were able to make it on top 3. Even if they didn't get the championship crown, they still have proven that Filipinos can compete internationally.

Here are the videos from the live streaming ustream. The videos covers the matches of Phillipines and Taiwan for the third place. Philippines won over Taiwan in 2-0. For other videos visit the ustream site.
