I originally posted this workaround several days ago on the Ragnarok Steam community discussions forum. It helped at least one other person there, hopefully it'll be of use to someone here as well.
So I've been having problems trying to buy VIP status and Kafra Points in Ragnarok on Steam, and decided to look into finding a way around using in-game menus and the Steam browser to solve the issues. The good news is, it's possible. (The bad news, it doesn't work for everyone...)
Preparation
The method involves modifying the URL that Warp Portal sends to your Steam browser when you click the "Add VIP and Points" button in the in-game shop. You will need to prepare the following information, and input them into the URL:To get your SteamID, go to http://vacbanned.com/ and enter your Steam Community ID into the search box at the upper left. You'll want to copy the 17-digit, 64-bit Steam3 Decimal value (765611xxxxxxxxxxx)
- Your numerical SteamID
- The e-mail address you use to login to Steam
Execution
Open up your favorite web browser and copy-paste in this URL:https://kepler.warpportal.com/ro1/purchase/?step=1&steamid=765611XXXXXXXXXXX&accountname=STEAM@EMAIL.COM&game=ro1&lang=enBut replace the values in the "steamid" and "accountname" data fields with your appropriate information.
You'll be taken to the Warp Portal Ragnarok storefront, where you should be able to select the items you want to purchase. Continuing from there, you'll go to the Steam Wallet payment window, where you can either pay with the funds you already have, or load funds into your wallet first. After authorizing the payment, you'll be taken back to the Warp Portal store and if all went well, it will display a confirmation of your purchase.
And yes, purchasing VIP works in Classic too.
