My Ragnarok CV

 

May 22, 2017

 

Hi,

My name is Zach Roerig. I’m an Archbishop level 156 and I would like to apply in your Guild as an acolyte in the upcoming Ragnarok Online Philippines server in mid-June 2017.

From 2003 to present, I’ve played the role of Trapper, Minstrel, Soul Linker and (currently) Archbishop. That’s a solid 14 years of experience being a support character– trapping, singing, linking, healing, buffing, recovering, supporting, sacramenting and even casting Magnus Exorcismus occasionally.

I came into Payon town (Rune-Midgard Kingdom) in 2003. Ever since then, I’ve attended numerous sieges, finished a lot of quests (the last being the Mora Quest), earned decent amount of zennies through hard work and explored almost all maps including the New World.

Unfortunately, I have to be in hiatus for a year after the first publisher closed their operation in 2015. I migrated into the International Ragnarok Online (iRO) server in 2016 and after finding out that Thor server is not laggy anymore, I’ve been there ever since.

I’m currently with the Majesty Guild of Thor server and enjoying nice compensation for my siege attendance. In addition, I still have some spare time to perform my duty as an acolyte (and eventually a priest) in the new server. In time, you will find me active, always attending the siege, helpful, trustworthy, and upholding all virtues of a valuable priest.

Attached is my current resume for your consideration.

Sincerely,

 

Zach Roerig

Experiences:

September 2003-December 2004

January 2005- December 2006

Bard / Minstrel

Titans, Lydia Server, pRO

• Uplifts everyone’s fighting spirit by rendering an upbeat and happy tune – “Song of Bragi” – especially during War of Emperium, in defending our beloved high economy agit.

Soul Linker

Fear Us, Thor (Valhalla) Server, pRO

November 2016 – present

• Ensures high ethical standards and making myself a servant, not just for the believers of Odin and Freya, but for those who are endangered by monsters, MVPs and fellow adventurers.

 

Qualifications:

• Passed the exams of Fathers Rubalkabara and Yosuke and even Mother Marthilda and traveled as far as Morroc just to learn from these great mystics.
• Passed the Temptation Trials of Baphomet, Doppelganger and the Dark Lord himself – shouting "Devil, Be Gone" in their offers of fame and fortune.
• Knows the oath of a good priest by Sister Cecile and tries to practice it every day.

• During WoE Training Edition (where 3^rd jobs are not allowed to join), I support my guildmates in Redemption TE as a Soul Linker.

Personal Info:

• In real life, I have attended most eyeballs (EBs) of Fear Us guild. I attend most Midgard Congress in the old pRO and I’ve been active in attending the events of Ragnarok Online Philippines – the last one was held at Marco Polo hotel.

The Relaunch of Ragnarok Online in the Philippines

Yesterday’s Ragna Festival 2017 held at SM Annex (of SM North EDSA) was a huge success. A lot of Ragnarok enthusiasts showed up for the event and the huge turnout proves that Ragnarok isn’t really dead in the Philippines (even though it was closed in March 2015).

I tried to be included in the Early Bird promo yesterday but to no avail (I was at the doors of SM Annex at 9:45 AM). When the doors opened at 10:00 AM, a huge crowd dashed to the 4^th floor to win in-game events. Lines from 4^th floor up to the ground floor were easily formed.

The venue became so small compared to the huge crowd. Most of the Ragnarok enthusiasts who went to the event yesterday wanted to know the details of Ragnarok’s relaunch in the country. However, very few information were given by the representatives of Gravity, Extreme Electronics and Elite Global Sourcing.

Even the media kits that were given to the press and bloggers contain very little information about the official relaunch of Ragnarok Online Philippines and the server information or settings. The media kit basically gave information about the history of Ragnarok in the country as well as information about the companies that will bring back the game. One of the speakers referred to the event as Press Conference.

Yesterday’s Ragna Festival 2017 includes cosplay performances, art contest, raffle, headgear competition and performances of bands Imago and Sandwich. I was surprised Betong was one of the hosts of the event.

Ragnarok Online’s History

Everyone who’s been playing online games, from 2003 up until today, remembers Ragnarok Online. It’s the first full MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online roleplaying game) that Filipinos sank their teeth into. It’s why it’s called the pioneer of Filipino MMORPGs.

The game introduced Filipinos to the world of gaming adventure and competition created lifelong friendships. It also sparked the internet café revolution and opened the door for gaming cosplay in the country. It was so popular that Ragnarok Online was made into an incredibly popular 26-episode anime series. Ragnarok Online is loosely based Ragnarok, an incredibly popular Manhwa (Korean manga).

Ragnarok Online is back

According to a popular Taiwanese game web site, Ragnarok ranked number 1 as the most popular game in Taiwan and Thailand. Very soon, it’ll be the number 1 game in Indonesia and in the Philippines.

Ragnarok Online has enjoyed resurgence through its renaissance in Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia. Since it was launched in 2003, close to 10 million people played the game in the Philippines.

Gravity Co. Ltd., the developers of the popular MMORPG will grace the event, together with their regional and local publishers, Extreme Electronics and Elite Global Sourcing Inc., respectively. They will make the most awaited announcement Filipino gamers are waiting for.

Electronics Extreme currently owns the publishing rights to Ragnarok Online in Asia and ELITE is the Philippine publishing partner. There will be more major announcements after the Ragnarok Festival so stay tuned!

Based on the speeches of Rithirong Kaewvicheara (Chief Operating Officer of Extreme Electronics), Johnny Paek (Chief Operating Officer of ELITE) and Kitamura Yoshinori(Chief Operating Officer of Gravity Co. Ltd.), they will be touring Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao to promote the game. They also mentioned that a Closed Beta Testing (CBT) will start very soon and that the new server will be personalized based on Philippine market.

At this point, the following questions are left unanswered:

1. Is it a Free-to-Play (F2P) or Pay-to-Play (P2P)?
2. When is the exact date of the relaunch? When will the server open?
3. Is it Classic (up to Transcendent Class) or Renewal (including 3^rd Jobs) or both?
4. Will it be available to players from South East Asia (SEA) or the Philippines only?
5. Will the server start at Episode 1 (the 6 basic jobs and Rune-Midgard Kingdom only) or Episode 16 (Banquet for Heroes including the Doram Race)?
