Ragnarok is now a prepaid game!

[sujithtom]

In a sudden action without notice soon after a 4 hour Maintenance all ragnarok players saw the following message on their client window:

Ragnarok is going paid soon. To get familiar to the concept of using a
pre-paid card and how to use it, you need to follow a set of simple
procedures.

This is mandatory in order to play Ragnarok Online from May 02,2005.

Please visit www.levelupgames.co.in for details.

Ragnarok was to be made paid in March but something help them up. I think now the no of ppl playing will decrease

it's gonna decrease drastically...

[sujithtom]

well but i think it was rude of lvl up to make this game pre paid without any notice

[z00m]

Guys its still not gone prepaid. They are just asking you to top up your account for "free" at the moment so people can understand the billing process when its finally goes prepaid.

You have to generate a card and pin number (free at the moment) .Enter it to top up ur account for free play for 24 hrs. Every 24 hrs u have to repeat it as one time top up is valid for 24 hrs only.

I would hardly say its unfair on their part as the game is bound to go p2p very soon.

cheers.

I don't understand how it is rude on their part? It was always meant to be a paid game. Freebie time is over. Ofcourse the gamers will decrease in number, but those who will remain will be the ones who are passionate about the game. That will help the game grow. And with time, maybe even chances for other games liks WoW, City of Heroes or City of Villains to make an arrival on the Indian scene! Now that will be a day to look forward too!

Well after this is going to be made p2p there r cool stuffs w8ing for those who stay behind. Juno updates 2-2 job classes and things like double xp, double drop rate etc. Sorta cool na. I just hope the thing won't be expensive

I still think that some servers offer free gaming of Ragnarok. A friend of mine from the Phillipines still plays it... on a free server.

Let me check with him and tell you where to look for it.

First of all ragnarok is not a strategy game. U feel the game is boring...ur opinion...lol

[sujithtom]

it has a bit of strategy also escape 7. You must build u charcter according to ur wish and may make ur charcter a powerful killing machine or a useless piece os S**T.

Play boy i know why u got bored. I too was bored first time and dropped this game. At lower lvls u need good friends to make this game 'non-boring' After u can kill average monsters urselves friends r not tht necessery but u will have better time playing if u have atleast a few GOOD ones

[escape7]

i don't think building ur character will be called a strategy its simply what we want. (its my opinion...no need to start a fight on this topic)

[sujithtom]

agreed

dont worry about paying fr Ragnarok
sooner or later there will be a private server in India which will offer free gameplay

What r u talking about?
All of them will start charging after a fixed period of time.

I dont think this game works that way , havent played it yet so I dont know. But if its like Everquest, WoW or CoH then theres not going to be a free based server anywhere. Its going to be pay to use regardless. You could try out Diablo Lord of Destruction for a free to use game ( Need to purchase game) but it definitely doesnt have the environment of an MMORPG.

PS. Im pretty sure that any MMORPG is going to need money to maintain their customer base.

hey if its not now its tomorow.


hell the fact is its going perpaid, no. of ppl will reduce and the game wont remain fun without ppl, and many paying customers will leave too. all its popularity will eventually go down the drain. seriously they shoud figure out another way to make money (advrtising mayb) fr eg, havin cocacola in stead of portion as a revitaliser and the description window would carry an cocacola add. this way it still could remain free but then again many woudnt like having branding is ther virtual lives too. so it comes back to square one.

last word either way we pay ! either with money or gameplay experience.
