| Level Up! unveils community generated online game story
GAME publisher Level Up! Inc., which has been running Philippine Ragnarok Online (pRO) has announced a new episode penned by Filipinos. Coupled with the launching of its newest game server, Thor (www.ragnarok.ph/thor/), the local publisher said this new episode will feature more security to prevent the use of "harmful third-party programs" such as automated bots that can affect game play and user accounts. In a statement, Level Up! chief operating officer Sheila Paul said the increased security and more in-game community-based events are the main attractions of Thor, named after the Norse god of thunder. She expects players to shape community interaction and politics, noting that "friendly competition will spur exciting events" in the new episode. Officials were unavailable for further comment. Paul said Thor will also have events like the guild-based player versus player tournaments, which will be out October after another grand event, Level Up! Live. Next year, the Thor server will be officially included in the Ragnarok Philippine Championships 2007, the local game publisher added. "Thor and Ragdefender are just some of the numerous plans that Level Up! has for Ragnarok. This affirms our official statement on responsible gaming and we aim to support the playing community by basically heeding their requests. We've heard the community's clamor for a third-party-free game and Thor is the start of better things to come. We'll be closely monitoring Thor and if all is well, there is a good possibility of configuring the other commercial servers similarly," she said. pRO is a massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) that involves thousands of people playing in a virtual world. |
