6 Years of Rok On!

I suddenly stumbled upon Moderator Anakin's thread at ragnaboards... Let me share what he says....

"Ragnarok Online, the Philippines’ first Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG), celebrates its 6th anniversary, and it’s as strong as ever. And while there have been lots of MMORPGs that made their mark in the Philippines in the last few years, like they say, you never forget your first.

For many of us gamers, pRO was our first taste of the world of online games, and have at one point called the city of Prontera our virtual ‘home away from home’. Our passion for the game even influenced the culture and lifestyle of Pinoys, to the point where “amp” and “chicksilog” are now part of everyday lingo. In fact, the strength of our gaming community gave the Philippines the honor of hosting the Ragnarok World Championships in 2008, making it the first time the highly-anticipated international event has ever been held outside of its home base Korea. How’s that for people power?

It’s been 6 years of action-filled fun and excitement, and Philippine Ragnarok Online is ready for more with the coming of the 3rd jobs! So be a part of the celebration of the first and still one of the biggest MMORPG in the Philippines!

Rok on!"

I suddenly remembered my beta days... my first character was a Merchant and the build for my character was a big mess! hahaha!

6 years of playing ragnarok huh? what did i gain after six years of playing it?... i'm just your average player... back then our guild wasn't able to compete in any championship/server eliminations...

All i can say is after playing six years of ragnarok i have met some really great people... all of those wonderful experience... they won't die in my memories...

As my other friends ask me why don't i get tired of playing ragnarok? I simply answer them...

"It's not the gameplay... It's about memories"

  1. lol, how nostalgic. thank you for posting about that. nakakamiss nga ang RO... naalala ko pa tuloy yung time nung 3rd yr HS ako, yung bago palang yung RO... first guildmates ko ung batchmates ko, and everytime nagkkwentuhan kami puro RO ang bukambibig namin. haha.

    for me kahit nakasubok na ako ng ibang mmorpg, RO pa rin ang pinagtitiyagaan kong laruin. kahit masakit na balikat ko ok lang, basta nakalaro. haha. di bale, magbabalik RO ako pag mejo maluwag na ang sked ko sa thesis, at kapag malapit na ilabas ang 3rd jobs. kelan nga ba yun?
