St Patricks Day Maintenance!
03/17/2011
For our March 17 Maintenance the following updates will be made to all servers.

  • The Abyss, Rachel, Anubis, and Remover Turnin Quests will be removed
  • The monsters for the above hunts will regain their EXP
  • Battle Grounds 15v15 will be reinstated with the fixed system
  • Please give the Battle Grounds a sampling this week, and let us know what you think of the randomizing side system. Please report any problems through the support tool.
  • The Stacker in Payon will now stack 10 times with each "Do EEET!" he is the creepy guy with the test tubes standing behind the Kafra Shop Gals. If you have a bunch of low quantity stacks of Kafra Shop items like HD Ores he can help you quickly tidy them up into 1 stack!
  • The Snakes for the Where is O'Reilly quests will stop dropping the consumable silver coin.
  • The Consumable Silver coins will still be counted by the agent in Payon as normal Silver coins (so you don't lose out)
  • O'Reilly has implemented his own Green Box from 17th - 31st! Check it out below!
  • The big update for this week is how the HD Elunium, HD Oridecon, HD Carnium and HD Bradium are used by Mighty Hammer in Payon.
O Reilly's Green Box is completely vend and tradable. But the items that come out are account bound. The hats are all amusing and functional, and we all hope you enjoy the new looks! There is also a chance of getting a couple X3 Battle Manuals that will give triple exp for 30 minutes.


Fundraising for Japan with MercyCorp.
03/16/2011

While we try and make everything about WarpPortal focus on fun and games, occasionally tragic real world events happen and shake our lives and those we care about. Right now is one of those times in Japan. We here at WarpPortal personally have many friends and family in Japan, many of our players do as well. We are very concerned over their wellbeing both presently and in the near future, we are doing everything we can as individuals to help; but more assistance is always welcome with that in mind we are combining our efforts with MercyCorps again to support their relief efforts in Japan.


We have a Donation Page with MercyCorps for this relief effort, and we hope that the compassion and generosity of our community shines through once again for this very important effort. While we can’t thank each person for their good deeds enough, we do deeply appreciate your kindness. We have set a very modest goal for our fundraiser, regardless of the goals outcome every dollar helps and is appreciated. As thanks we will have an EXP event in all of our published titles from April 7-14 in honor of those generous people who donated to this worthy cause.

  • Ragnarok Online : 2x exp
  • ROSE : 2x EXP
  • Requiem : 1.5x Exp
  • Dragon Saga : 1.5x Exp
Thank you,
WarpPortal Team

We have 2 new Kafra shop headgears, available from March 10 - 31st.
  • The Clover In Mouth, can only be obtained from the Kafra Gals.

The Turnin quests are available until March 17th.
  • Anubis Spawn went from being doubled to Trippled in Sphinx 4
  • The other maps keep the same double->triple spawn implemented last week.
  • Vanberks are highly spawned in Rachel Sanctuary 1, Isilla are highly spawned in Rachel Sanctuary 2. Go in and out of the portal until you arrive at your destination floor.
  • Premium server rewards were multipled by 1.5x to bring it up to what normal monster slaying would accomplish.
  • Baby Dragon Hat will increase the reward from 85% -> 100% and give the option of combining the exps into just base or job at your choice.
  • Further the Eden Group teleporter will send you to the event map if you have the Baby Dragon Hat .
  • Dragon hat turnin reward will now work if you have the Dragon hat on your head OR in your inventory.

Our party balancing requests is also in the works with the Development team as well, once we get F2P and Brasilis done the concentration will become Renewal updates again.

Also plans for Sakray include USRC training starting as soon in April as we can. So start getting your team together for USRC (Late May). The winning team of USRC will represent us in August at RWC in Seoul Korea!

Mobile payment option is now available!
03/09/2011
On March 9, 2011 we have implemented an easy new way to purchase WarpPortal Energy via your Mobile Phone. Our "Paymo" (Pay Mobile) is brought to you by Boku. You can utilize this payment option all around the world and the payment will go onto your Mobile Phone Bill!

The cost is calculated on your current location, and will fluctuate as the exchange rate updates between your currency and USD. This is normal, but should be a reasonable option of payment for those without Credit Cards or access to Game Cards.

To try it out:
Login to the WarpPortal,
Navigate to the "Power UP page"


Choose your payment amount, please understand that the local exchange rate may influence the cost of the payment. Further, certain carriers will not allow higher purchase amounts for their customers, but most carriers will allow the lower payment amounts.


Input your phone number for your mobile phone, and a text message will be sent to you.



Time Change Forward this Sunday!
03/08/2011
This coming Sunday morning is the begining of the Daylight savings time for us and many of our players. During this time we pretend we are Cronos and move time forward 1 hour. So at 2am Sunday March 13 becomes 3am.

This means you lose an hour of sleep and potentially an hour off of any game timers you have running. We advise players to not activate timer based Item Mall items after midnight until the time change has occurred. We will do in-game announcements of course to let you know when it is happening.

Ragnarok will need to have a server restart to avoid corruption of subscription data. Ragnarok will be put under maintenance for ~ 15 minutes starting at 1:55am PST Sunday, and will come up at 3:10am (15 minutes later).

We will have full announcements describing when the restart will be then. Please get your treasure early guild leaders, else you'll have to wait for the GM team to restore next week.
