May Scavenger Hunt

Each week, a theme will be revealed. You will need to search for things in the game that follow this theme, take a screenshot of it, and submit a forum PM to Vmod Salsa.

Rune-Midgarts Tourism Guidebook

Event Period: May 6 - May 31, 2016

 

Do you have a location in Ragnarok 2 that you absolutely love? Or maybe you have a type of location that you love, which are in different actual locations. Either way, the Prontera Travel Agency is looking for volunteers to write guides for their new Tourism Guidebook. They will, of course, reward those who provide usable guides. But more about that later.

What we need is a guide for a specific location that you really enjoy visiting. We need you to show us (with screenshots) and tell us (in writing) why you love it so much. If you have several locations you like that follow a theme (forests, rivers, towns, so on), you can write a guide like that instead.

The Prontera Travel Agency has prepared some examples for you to view, so you can see what we're looking for.

Mt Mjolnir Academy Guide

 

Skies of Rune-Midgarts

 

Rewards

• There will be 4 Grand Prize winners. From each category, there will be one (1) each: "Best Guide" and "Staff Favorite". We will pick "Best Guide" based on presentation of screenshots and writing. "Staff Favorite" will be the guide we like best out of the remaining entries.
• Grand Prize winners will get a Permanent Mount of your choice
• All quality entries will receive Cheny's Sunshine Box

Sales and forum events, what fun third anniversary 

[VanS3n]

sooo another 4 hrs of waiting.. XD XD

[MightyMoo]

BTW 3 to 10 is 7 hours.  And I really do hope that there's no glitch in the patch and the game comes back on around 10ish.  

 

And again, I am very disappointed in the RO2 3rd year anniversary Forum game. 

[4910131006002030110]

People can you put more channels?, some worries in my guild over the grind sites, it's cramped and with new people this is gonna be a big problem. 

[Sowlemia]

Well i miss old events like "easter eggs" you had to open and reach "easter egg lvl 10" etc...these were good events with good titles..

[IsaacGS]

5th anniversary. Forum's chess. 

[VanS3n]

how long is this maint again? XD XD

[mscocca]

Guys I'm sure there will be nice events in the next future, just give WP guys some time to settle things. I want you to remember that it's only a bit more than a month that they took over the game's developing. They are already trying to make the game a better place and bring it back to the old splendour, but they need you to support them! How would you feel if you'd worked in a place where your customers always complain about you? Bad, right? So... let's all be a bit more sympathetic to them, okay? I'm sure we won't repent!

[Zazyx]

I've been meaning to ask for awhile now but when are the quests from "Dark Whisper Daily Quest" going to be added??

 

Also welcome to Odin peepz!

[freakygin]

From what i understand, in game events won't be an easy task for WP.

They have to "create" new quest, new item, new NPC. And make sure it won't crash

So, about this year anniversary.. It's completely understandable..

 

But i was wondering if WP can simply "repeat" old events.

[bufkowi]

just wanna ask
are we indonesian player can log on to the game after this maintenance over?
thanks

Do like me, don't truly expect anything from WP or RO2 and don't be disappointed ever again anymore.

You will be able to log in right after the maintenance! Welcome to Odin!

Some of you guys are way too brutish. Do you understand that developing a game is not like cooking a pot of rice? It requires some time! It's only a little more than a month that WP took over the game's developing, so please, don't be so easily disappointed. Try to understand.

is so funny when people say they r disappointed about how WP take over and dont implement new thing,

clearly they know not thing about developing a game, code writing and so on

not like everything can happen in an instant 

 

happened before when they implemented something right away and bam  bugs everywhere they had to redo maint right away

First post that makes sense. 

[Masuzu]

First post that makes sense. 

 

I am from Indonesia

 

do you know website that generate skill build for RO 2 ??

 

i probably make new character and what job and proffesion that most popular in INTERNATIONAL RO 2 ??

[Maxscha]

Welcome Indonesia!

This is an emulator that I like to use...

As for what's popular? Sorry; I am unsure...

I play what's fun for me ( & rarely popular).

Play what you enjoy; you can always make

more alts in the future... Yay; Options!

[freakygin]

I think, if we really want BIG "satisfying" patch

We really should support WP, by purchasing KP (No, they didn't pay me for this)

 

Development means they need a LOT of man hours.

Writing new codes, changing formula, testing phase, and so on.

Meaning, those Kafra Shop sales are up there for a reason.

Anybody feeling generous..?

Or "I won't pay for a dying game" mindset?

 

Just sayin'

[Maxscha]

I bought some KP (even tho I am going out of town,

and have no use for it myself at this point in time)...

 

I figured, like you, that it was time for me to support

the game I'd like to see when I return from my trip.

 

I know a few folks with Birthdays about now, so I do

have a use for it, even if not for myself; Yay Friends!

 

I wish a Very Merry Unbirthday to Everyone!!!  

 

 

Spoiler

If I get my travel papers in order, I'll be gone on Friday.

Wish me Luck, as I have hit a few paperwork snags.

If all goes as expected, I'll be back around September.

Welcome fellow Indonesians!

 

Can't believe I missed this thread, no wonder I couldn't login earlier

 

 

Forum events looks interesting, might track those to watch for later.

 

Good luck to everyone who's participating

Warpportal can do much more for players than what they do, like party crashers, bosses in maps with lunatics drops rates, put porings in prontera or others maps, crazy-surprise-powerups-exp-fest-like-24000X!!!! for one hour. They are supporting this only in maintenance changes and this game need to be more proactive in difficult times, they do things like this before, like party crashers, and now in the anniversary month, may 16, nothing of this happened.

 

 

Hardly i feel festive this anniversary, I hope the best for the rest May  

[VanS3n]

well for the longest time a few of us are still hopeful
