That's right, it's the sleek, new-looking logo of Ragnarok Online 2 recently unveiled by Asiasoft in celebration of their first anniversary. Marking calendars on the 7th of January and turning a year older, its official publisher Asiasoft has promised us new contents and more importantly even more activities all year round.
RO2 players might now be familiar with Advent of Valkyrie, one of RO2's largest content update yet, which will also mark a new milestone in game with the much-awaited launch of the 'Job Master' level, enabling its dedicated fans who are already on level 50 to break limits and reach out further.
Asiasoft has also promised that as levels improve, skills to master the game greatly extends with even more challenging tasks, battle strategies, and also the opportunity to unlock weapons to pair their rank.
We mentioned that Asiasoft has some activities lined up for its fans, you'd be happy to know that to truly embrace the spirit of giving during birthdays, there will be a raffle draw with an Aftershock Gaming Laptop, a Razer Black Widow Mechanical Keyboard and obviously more up for grabs. And there is simply no easier way to drop an entry than logging in anytime between the 7th of January to the 6th of February.

Ragnarok Online 2 Open Beta postponed to 3rd of January 2013, meanwhile you can continue playing
Years after the original Ragnarok Online finally comes its second installment/sequel for our South East Asian region proudly hosted and massively marketed by online gaming giants Asiasoft. Obviously highly-anticipated, Raganarok Online 2 has been to say the least a great success for the company since its launch and Closed Beta phase.
However, when it came to its Open Beta which was supposed to be ready on the 27th of December, things didn't go as well as what we as gamers were hoping for.
Its Open Beta was planned for a 3pm (in simpler terms of SG/MY time) launch on the 27th, but as eager players were waiting at the seconds to get into the new realms of Asgard, Asiasoft via RO2's Facebook page announced that they had to push back its release, twice, explaining that this had to be done due to some "extremely high traffic to the RO2 website and PlayPark.net".
However, when it finally opened at 6pm, their servers again seemed to be facing troubles as Asiasoft announced several times that they had to to shut it down to conduct stress tests. This is of course understandable as the original game is, after all, one of the most popular games at the time and hence would probably still be now, and sometimes its not easy when there is a surge in traffic. This scenario is also not foreign as even massive games like Diablo 3 had also faced the same problems.
Nevertheless, chariman of Asiasoft Online Sherman Tan has came out and released an official apology/message/note via the RO2 Facebook page, again explaining that this whole drama was due to a "staggeringly high traffic that resulted in severe website and server congestion", announcing that "(they) have to reschedule Open Beta to 3rd January 2013".
The good (or maybe not so good) news is, you will still be able to experience the land of Asgard while waiting for its Open Beta relaunch as Asiasoft will continue to carry out stress tests and by playing you will be able to give them a hand. The catch is, any progress you get during this time will not be counted and thus will not continue on the 3rd of January 2013.
After reading RO2's official apology, will you still be playing? Shoot us your thoughts below!

Ragnarok Online 2 Open Beta to start 27 December
Dubbed as Asiasoft's 'Blockbuster MMORPG', the recently-announced Ragnarok 2 (RO2) has been on the spotlight for quite a while as its close beta have been (I would say) extremely well-received, especially within my circle of networks.
Lasting over a 6 day period, Ragnarok Online 2's Closed Beta Testing have been successfully-concluded and its game servers are now being maintained to fix any in-game bugs and technical issues. This prepares for its upcoming Open Beta as Asiasoft strives to give the smoothest possible experience all around the region in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Phillipines and more once it goes live on the 27th of December. Better news still, Asiasoft has also mentioned that if you're on its Closed Beta previously, you wouldn't need to re-download its game client, but well I'm pretty sure you would still need to go through a patch or sort.
Asiasoft surely has been putting an immeasurable amount of effort into RO2 as you would have noticed on its marketing strategies, filling almost every day of my Facebook feed and ads. The game have also always had a big following and with this, I believe it is going to be Asiasoft's biggesst success since the all-so-lovable Maple Story.
