Starting at 3pm PST December 17, 2010 we will be lowering our subscription prices!

The subscription price lowering will duplicate what our intended Premium Subscription Price will be when we become Free to Play in early 2011!

New Subscription Price:

• 30 Day : 700 WPE
• 90 Day : 1900 WPE
• 180 Day : 3350 WPE

As a very special extra bonus, all accounts that have an active Daily subscription on 12/20/2010 will have their subscription time credited with enough time to keep you logged in until our Free to Play launch! In effect if you have a subscription now, you are Free to Play on our Premium servers until we officially become Free to Play.

So input those 14 day codes, subscribe at this new lower rate for a month with your alt accounts, get your friends in, and enjoy Ragnarok with Free Game time!

We hope you have happy upgrading!

As many of you have seen, their are numerous level 150 3rd classes in-game, but you may not realize that almost none of them started a brand new character when the renewal launched!

This means you can still be a winner! You must have a new character that was created after 21st of October, and that character must NOT use the Bloody Dead Branch room or use Marvelous medals to level.

If the character gained exp from those methods it isn't qualified for the Race! So fire up your spirit and go fight for your spot in the hall of honor as one of our first level 150 characters on iRO!

You can still qualify for the "gear being upgraded to +11" prize and interview.
