pRO Holiday Blowouts
pRO has been having lots and lots of promos / events / sales lately. I wonder if other RO servers around the world do the same? Here’s a few of them!
New Costume Class Headgears and Headgears are now in the Hypermart!

Here’s a quick preview! I’ve gotten a singing birdie costume for my biochem and a blazing sun costume for my priest! The third headgear below is my newly quested Rudolf Hairband! (Quest Here)

New Xmas Scroll with fab prizes as well as new items in the Lotti Girl! (Details here)

Plagiarized Artwork Makes Top 5 in pRO Art Contest
There was some concern brought up in the Philippine Ragnarok Online during the past weekend since a Loading Screen contest for Xmas came about. The mechanics were quite simple:
Eligibility: All Ragnarok Players
Mechanics:
- Draw, paint, or make a fan art on how you celebrate your Christmas in Ragnarok Online.
- Image should be in JPEG format with 640 x 480 dimension.
- Attached your entry and email it to: ragnarok@levelupgames.ph with the following format:
- Email Subject: Christmas Loading Screen Event – (SERVER)
- Username
- Character Name
- Brief description of your entry
- The GM team will vote for the best art work and post the winner’s character name and server in this link
- Submission of entry is on December 9 to 12, 2011 11:59PM
- Only one art work per account is allowed.
- There will be 3 winners for all servers and entries will be posted as loading screens on December 14, 2011 Maintenance
It clearly states “draw, paint or make a fan art” so you could imagine my shock when I saw this entry:

It seemed quite familiar, right down to the artwork style and then suddenly I was reminded of “Kodama” (aka Yuichiro - a part of MyoungJin Lee’s esteemed art studio) who is jRO’s official artist (being a big fan) I tried to find out if these were plagiarized works or simply a VERY well copied style.
To no surprise I found the original sources of the artworks and spread it all over the pRO forums. The GM’s were acting quite silly over my post and kept deleting my thread over and over again. Shouldn’t they be happy I was helping them enforce their own rules and protect them from someone claiming the official artwork as their own?
pRO needs to be more careful next time when selecting entries for a Loading Screen Contest. I also urge the team to explicitly state “original” everytime there’s an artwork contest. For those of you curious of how “fake” the submission was. Please see the below. I’ve emailed GM Anael with my complaints. Hopefully they disqualify the entry.

OMG. pRO returned the Amistr hat to the HM! I JUST HAD to get it! I’ve been eyeing this headgear for weeks and it’s really my favorite. It’s back in the Cash NPC for 4k roks points. This headgear has gotten extremely expensive. Too bad my screenshot can’t show the Amistr hat animation. :(
Isn’t Prontera snazzy during December? Even the BGM is so Christmasy! :D
So guess what I found when I logged in today~!? Xmas decors, Gift boxes and SNOW in Prontera!! Happy Holidays!
Q:Hello! I'm an OOOOLLDD RO player from Malaysia and I have never lost the love for the game. Was wondering if Malaysians could play pRO? mRO site doesn't sound quite as articulate and tight as pRO. Was wondering also whether pRO is free?
Hi! Malaysians can indeed play pRO provided you can download the torrent. Although sometimes we speak Tagalog over there. It is free (Valkyrie (PK), Valhalla, new Loki servers only) but some headgears are offered only via the Cash NPC. For example I just buy my Acid Bombs over the NPC cause its easier than brewing and quite cheap. Heres a link to the torrent (http://torrent.levelupgames.ph/RO.torrent)
So the boyfriend and I made a priest and paladin. They always level together and transcended together. Sweet in the past life and in the new life. <3

So I met Katie and Tasha. 2 sisters who love headgears as much as I do. We spent 30 mins matching headgears and screenshotting :D
