RWC - 2009

Hey Guys,

Just a few moments ago RWC 2009 has finally came to an end, with Team Philippines taking 2nd place, and Team Japan taking 1st!

Here are some pictures of the event:
These pictures are from the courtesy of Jake San Diego's mobile phone, hehe:
Congrats to everyone! Next event - Level-Up! Live 2009! See you there!

D.Knight Female

Hey Guys,

This is the Female Death Knight - Front Pose:

Enjoy!

Sorcerer

Hey Guys,

Just alittle awhile ago Sorcerer was finally released on Sakray-R. Here is a look at the sprite:

Now to share with you guys a little about the design. As you can notice, it's Japanese/Oriental themed Sorcerer, but if you closer at the build of the sprite, it's just like the Genetics layout to keep the major reborn designs intact. The Sorcerers wear magical amulets to amplified their new controlled elements. Both Male and Female lost the fox for feathers to match some current trends of sorcerer/magic users designs in other games. Female DOES wear a transparent dress and wear sandals.

Well I hope you guys enjoyed! More to come soon!

My honest opinion - Check the comments.

Genetic

Hey Guys,
I'm leaving a reservation spot for the Genetic so you guys get a heads up that it's coming very soon!
EDIT:
As I promised The Genetic was coming soon! And as of today - a little awhile ago - it was officially uploaded to Sakray-R. Now that I can it's released I can freely show you guys the design along with explaining some designing backgrounds to it.

The Genetic - is short for Genesis/Generator. These guys pretty much are loyal Biochemist who can generate DNA and strands into other things. It really makes it the TRUE job level up from the Bios. Not to mention the Genetics can generate new stronger homunculus to aid in battle.

Heres a look at the sprite:
Now the design of the Genetics is pretty simple since it's suppose to represent something similar to the previous job. As you noticed the shoulder-pads are now wider/bigger and also animate. This was simply because the last job shoulder-pads WAS suppose to move and breath-fire just like the art works you guys might see around. However, due to deadlines once the sprite was finished and the public liked it how it was, it was never looked backed at. Since this is a new job of the same type, this time it was made a point to finally make the shoulder-pads move like they're alive.

The outfit now represents more of a creature then just the cape did before, which showcase it as demonic/fiend armor. The chest armor is Satan Morroc while the shoulder-pads are Hodremlins.

Well I hope you guys enjoy! More to come soon!

Royal Guard

Hey Guys,

This is a semi-late update due to me running around with meetings and deadlines, so in short I'm just a few hours late from when it's been officially released but just to let you guys know, Sakray-R did patch the "Royal Guard" today with it's mount as well.

So without further a-do here you guys go:

Well I hope you guys enjoyed!

Also you can check out the list of other upcoming 3-2 class sprites.

Hey Guys,

Currently at RPC finals where it's the Road-to-Japan!

Yes these are the finals for the Philippines, and you guys can watch it all here LIVE!

Updates to come!

**Update:

OK I know this post was so a litte abrupt, but let me just say I was at the RPC finals, and became an unexpected co-host/guest for Level-Up's LIVE! The Show with their Host "Joey Alarilla". You might remember in one of my older post that I was also featured on the same show. It's always an honor to be on there. Thank You Joey!

Here are some pics I was able to take while there:

I wish everyone the best of luck! ROK ON!

Quick Cash Shop Button!

Hey Guys,

Something that's been patched through to pRO servers recently and will most likly be making it's way shortly on all servers, it's the Quick Cash Shop Button.

Yup just like on most MMO's now and days they offer that mini-icon to go directly to the Item mall instead of the hassle of going to the NPCs for the common items that you might need. Well this was requested by the pRO team, to get developed so that players that can't get to the Item Mall, can get the items they might need ON THE SPOT.

This is really a good thing for Guild teams now that might need Elites, LOL.

Heres what it looks like in game:

Well I hoped you guys Enjoyed!

So without further a-do here you guys go:

*Please note: Final designs are subject to changes*

*I'm well aware of the delay in the video at some points, please don't mind it. I was in a rush to get that done since it was the only free time I had today to finish that up and I had a lot of programs running in the background. =___=

Once the MVP is patched through for the events, I'll upload some videos of his full potential. Hehe.

The Card image was selectively designed by veteran RO artist: Tharine

The card shows Kingling relaxing after have cutting so many apples just to make 1 apple juice for his followers. It's a cute concept and I liked how the merchant isn't even paying attention how the poring just swiped some apples to use, while there is another poring innocently looking around like, Whats going on here?!

Well I hope you guys enjoyed the video and some background info regarding the monsters development. Till next time!

NEW Official RO Manga!

Hey guys,

Today I want to share with you a new RO manga that's being created by Gung Ho and will be published inside a Japanese monthly manga magazine called "Dengeki-Maoh". So to answer any questions...NO THIS ISN'T ABOUT Myung-jin Lee's original manga...even though I wished it would have been it, lol, but this is a completely new story and art style created for Gung Ho and Japan readers, which actually is rolled around the same structure of RO-Animations foundation of plot and character development.

Manga will hit Japanese stores: 5.27.09

Summarized Story/Plot :

It's center around a Female High Priest and a sad excuse for a Knight...In the story we quickly find out that the High Priest isn't your typical nice Full Support. Instead shes the most meanest unsentimental jerky support you could ever party with.At the same time, the suppose "HERO"(Dish) is having a hard time being the Knight he's suppose to be...**Cough**Rune-Knight**Cough**

They'll be joined by 3 additional (party)characters:
A cutey prissy Female Merchant &
The pretty boy master mind of tactics the Male High Wizard.

*At times a Male Priest will jump into battle or events to prove the Female High Priest wrong.

Not to mention 3 troublemakers/comical reliefs characters:
Female Ninja
Female Hunter &
The (*Pimp LOL, I'm just calling him that) Male Professor/Scholar.

========================================

My Thoughts:

The manga is actually well made, not too messy, not to perfect either. But I can see why Gung-Ho wanted to make this manga. Main reasons is that the 3rd Jobs will be introduced in a few months time in Japan and round the world...so what better way to slowly introduce their story line then with a manga of a Knight who COULD become the very next Rune-Knight or Royal-Guard.

The manga defiantly was created to keep players on the edge while theres promos to BUY the manga Japanese players of jRO will get limited items after imputing their redeem codes. Not to mention since RO2 is basically Dead for now, Gung-Ho has no other Anime to work one since they had plans for doing the RO2 Anime...so with the manga they'll be slowly producing the next RO anime under this generation of hero's.

However, when you think about this manga compare to the RO-Animation....is ALMOST similar in many ways in terms of key character development, plot, and story. The main MVP will be consider in this story will be Satan Morroc & Nidhoggr being the biggest pillars to the story, along will Thantos and Naght Siege...so yes the period of time is almost current to patches, so as I said just when 3rd jobs is finally released fully...this guy will be encountering 3rd job characters.

ANYWAYS!!!

Last treat for you guys, official manga pages just for your viewing!
I hope you guys enjoy!
