We are proud to launch our newest update to Ragnarok Online: 12.0 The Destruction of Morroc on December 9, 2008. Valkyrie users will need to purchase the 12.0 Poring Key from the Kafra shop to get access to all 12.0 content prior to December 23.

This update has changed the landscape of Rune-Midgard forever, it has also brought new challenging instanced dungeons to test your parties might to survive, Battlegrounds which test your PVP prowess, and quest logging; to keep track of where you should be going.

Also with this maintenance, we are installing WoE update part 1 on all servers.

• Higher monster spawn in Guild Dungeon.
• More durable Emperiums
• Guardians and Homunculus are all Demi-Human.
• Guardians fully effected by Mi Gao and Elder Cards
• Stone Repair in WoE 2.0 castles has an 8 minute delay
• Tribals drop more often from Treasure boxes.

To implement 12.0 we are planning to extend maintenance to 2pm PST (instead of 1) WoE on Valkyrie is still scheduled for 12/9 at 4pm.

Good journey to you adventurers!

With today`s, 10/14/2008, maintenance the long awaited WoE 2.0 Castle God item pieces will be implemented on all iRO servers. Along with those pieces being dropped from the Treasure boxes in the WoE 2.0 castles, we have updated many of the WoE and God item dynamics.

WoE 2.0 Castle Barricades now have 600,000 HP instead of 120,000 HP this should make the castle battles in those WoE 2.0 castles more epic in nature.

On the Premium Servers all the seal quests are updated to be "appear" at 25 completions of the prior Seal, and "Release" on 50 completions. This should facilitate faster seal Rolling on the Premium Servers.

On all servers we have updated the Ninja and Gunslinger job change quests to be more reasonable for new players to complete.

And finally several Kafra Shop updates are taking place.

• Robo Eyes: Middle headgear is added 500/600 points
• Jumping Poring: Head Gear is added 175/200 points
• Premium Servers: Lowered the cost of the Adventurer Pack to 2200 points.
• Valkyrie Server: Added additional kafra Shop helpers.
  The Kafra Shop gals and guys can be found near the equipment Upgraders in Payon, Prontera, and Juno.
• Valkyrie Server: Enriched Elunium and Enriched Oridecon are now 30 points, to help facilitate item upgrades.

And finally in celebration of the WoE 2.0 items coming to iRO, and to celebrate our RWC team, Deity, going to the Philipines to represent all of iRO to the world; we are having an Experience Event!

From October 14 through October 21, the Valkyrie server will be at 175% of its normal exp value, and the Premium servers will be at 225% of the Valkyrie base rates (75% and 100% increase respectively).

Happy adventuring!
