It's been quite a while since we had the launch of Ragnarok Online II. And all Ragnarok I players have been anticipating its release in the Philippines. Sad to say that Level Up didn't had the chance (I'm not sure if they really tried to publish this) back then. Now, Ragnarok NA will open its doors to Philippine players this July 17, 2014. If we can't have a local Ragnarok server here, this offer is good enough for me. Here's their official announcement:

Multitudes of monsters all with unique behaviors and appearance, hundreds of unique equipment to gear the adventurer out with the look and benefits that are just right, await discovery. Customize your look and sound to be the gruff swordsman all the way to the dainty dilettante, and accessorize with costumes that redefine what splendid attire means. Participate in daily activities with the Khara quests, find monster cards to trade with others or give yourself a special edge in combat. Groups can also hunt new and familiar MVP monsters and participate in raids to take on the biggest challenge Ragnarok 2: Advent of Valkyrie can offer with friends. Craft and gather to share with friends or to make some zeny on the side. Once you’re done with the first 50 levels, become a Master in your class and explore the dangerous, desert landscape of Morroc, and discover the history of the land and the secrets of its temples. If social activities are more your speed, your look and ability to express yourself has been redefined with Ragnarok 2 to offer you any option one could hope for through the extensive costume and accessory system. Join for free, play forever and become the new Legend of Ragnarok 2!
