Blog Updates

Today I want to share the beta renewal site with you, as Project Revolution takes a new name called: Ragna-Dev

Bookmark if you'd like: www.xelzeta.com/ragnadev

[Link is fixed - thanks for the tip]

I know it might not be the greatest thing in the world, but it's the least I can do right now with the pile of work I've been tending to.

So whats New?

• Layout Design
• Music Player
• New Pages [WIP]

With the new pages, they're currently unaccessible. So I'll just go ahead now to inform you what those pages will be.

• Evocation Box [This will be a place to finally put your suggestions for reviewing.]
• Petition [This is where your approved suggestion becomes a Petition, you'll then collect votes to get that idea pushed to the next level.]
• Contests [A Spot to see Ragna-Dev's latest contests]
• RO-Shop [A place to shop for RO goodies]

Known issues to be fixed:

1. No comment viewer
2. No option to add a comment
3. Dates on older post are messed up
4. There is a Slight-Lag after viewing the Legal Notes in Google Chrome
5. Music Player's next track buttons are hidden
6. Viewing it in IE is horrible
7. Other options have yet to be added...

-----------

With the current issues on the renewal site, I know it might be inconvenient since theres no option for the comments, thats why you'll always have the option to use the classic site, some of you might just stick around on the old layout due to being simpler and easier on the eyes, who knows. But here you go anyways.

Currently I'm hosting it through my company's server since its the most convenient right now, other than that, all I can say is that any business information you find on there please respect it as it's only ment for business. I know some of you tried to contact me through Skype already, while I appreciate the attention but please beware it's strictly for business.

I'll setup another account to do Skype sessions with all of you in the future.

Thank you & Hope you enjoy! ^^

New Project ?! What could it be?!

Hey Guys,

This isn't an official announcement or anything, but take it more as a teaser of something to expect. This is all I can really share with you guys right now, seeing how I can't spill the beans just yet, but keep checking for further updates about this NEW PROJECT of mine.

Seeing how there isn't much released officially on new projects for RO besides Ep.13, take this as NEW YEAR's Gift from me. ^_^

Here's a sneak peek at my development of this project:

Yes It's a High Priest from RO1 in 3D?! AND SHOWING MORE LEG! ::snickers::

Well till then, Laterz guys!

Dark Randgris Helm!

As you guys might know already I’ve already talked about an Official headgear which is currently on PRO servers. Well today, I’m going to touch base on yet ANOTHER new headgear I’ve designed that is included in PRO’s new headgear collection, but this one is special to me…

See, back when I was working on GATE, I created a class known as the Elites, who each watch the servers, and towns. With that, they needed to stand out from the crowd, seeing how I created a new custom class sprite for them I figured they needed to stand out further…SO I designed them new equipments so it’s easier for them to stop the perpetrator.

Ahhh, nostalgic times…..Anyways, there was a certain headgear they wore known as “The Darkness Helm” it became a very popular headgear with players and even with my chosen Elites.

As time went on to finally pitch new creations to Level-Up! Games in the Philippines, one certain headgear caught the eyes of the brand manager of PRO at the time, and it was no doubt “The Darkness Helm”. Soon after I sent sample images to him, Gravity then wanted more of that content and others, so now I present to you….the NEW “Dark Randgris Helm”!!!!!

For the official release I gave the wings on the Headgear more detail, so it matches with official standers.

Here’s an exclusive look at the in-game sprite and promotional art together:And here are the stats of the headgear now:

+4 Dex, Mdef+1Upper/Middle Slots

If your interested in this new headgear I’ve developed please take your time and look for it yourself at the official Philippines Ragnarok Online Server…Enjoy!

Baphomet Horns!

Today I would like to introduce something I’ve planed to for some time now.

It’s known as the Baphoment Horns, which are pretty much a kick ass version of the original Majestic Goat Horns. This headgear will be released world-wide, after an estimated time of 3 months. HOWEVER, Philippines Ragnarok Online (PRO) is currently the 1st to get this fine headgear to its item mall before any other country.

Here’s an exclusive look at the in-game sprite and promotional art together:

The stats of this headgear are:

+12% Damage versus Demi-Humans

+Attack Power

Upper Slot

If your interested in this new headgear I’ve developed please take your time and look for it yourself at the official Philippines Ragnarok Online Server…Enjoy!

My unreleased map

Well, I'm glad I was able to keep one of my favorite maps I created for test servers (Sakray), but I never had the heart to release it without a reason. Finally, I do have a reason for this map, and it's a pretty good one! However, I doubt you guys will know what it is, unless this project uses it. Here's a You-Tube video that I recently uploaded, but keep in mind it's very old, but good. Enjoy!

Play as a 3D Cell shade model in RO!

Hello again,

I know it hasn’t been a day since my last post, but I want to show this a legitimate Ragnarok Online project that I’ve been working on for a long time. Anyway, I will begin by posting an old but fantastic installment into RO; it's not an official release, but simply something I felt like sharing, since a lot people seemed to be amazed at the work I did for it. Now, please excuse me, this video sample is very old, even older than the date it was posted. It was used to show Gravity and Level-Up that my ideas and work can travel far beyond the limits of Ragnarok Online.

Well, I hope you enjoy this sample! Perhaps somewhere along this current project, this feature can be used, but as of right now, I can't seem to find any purpose in it, besides to prove my skills.

Enjoy!

1st Offical Free-2-Play Server !

Hi ya,

It’s great you decided to visit again and we hope you continue to…

Well, I would like to announce that the first plan to this operation, which was originally to open a Philippines-licensed Free-2-Play server, has become a reality because of our great partners at Level-Up, Inc! Though this idea had been discussed a little more than a year ago, a lot of red-tape had to be pushed through from Gravity Corp. before it could happen. Along with this, they have also opened the Item Mall, which was another discussed topic in the same meeting.
It seems everything is going well for the project at this point.
If you want to see the server, you can at:

In a few days, I’ll release more information on upcoming events, progress, and new installments in our project for RO.

See you again!

Our welcome introduction !~

Welcome to Project Revolution, where we introduce Ragnarok Online in a revolutionized, new way!

Our goal is to continue the production of Ragnarok where Gravity is currently lefted off, and attempt to attract the new, old, and even private server players of RO. Today, RO is still considered one of the best massive multiplayer online role-playing games to date. However, since the announcement of RO2’s production four years ago, it’s simply not getting enough support. Players realized that RO1’s updates became repetitive, with the same base add-ons, just different terms and appearances. Additionally, what made players really lose faith in the product was the release of Baby, Ninja, & Gunslinger class. Finally, and perhaps the worse, was the poor programming of RO1. Indeed, players noticed that RO had a lot of bugs and functions that were never completed, but some of which I can safely say have just been installed on to current international servers.

Despite the prices, low-quality sprites, missing functions, repetitive patches, and low- quality 3D models, Ragnarok Online still has an aura that drives players to it’s servers. This aura is something no one may ever understand…

Let me start by stating that everything we say and do is under the critical observation of RO players around the world, so it’s only natural to say that we have taken numerous surveys to figure out what makes RO players crave to play it or not to play it.

In this B-Log, we will let you explore a world like no other…the RO world! A world where the could have’s, would have’s, and should have’s actually become reality!

With this Blog, I want to encourage everyone to review the information that is being created for this project and for you to put your best efforts in helping us with your thoughts and comments on each topic.

I will be updating this on a periodic base, so come back soon!
