Gravity Announces New Web Browser Game, Ragnarok Journey, with Grand Party
Gamers and fans
alike have smashing good time at the Ragnarok Journey Grand Party with prizes
and collectibles given away
Gravity Co., Ltd., the gaming company behind
the worldwide online game phenomenon, Ragnarok Online, is bringing Ragnarok
Journey, its web browser version to the
Philippines.
Ragnarok
Journey is an online browser
massively multiplayer online role playing game
(MMORPG) that enables players to battle against colorful monsters, gain
new abilities and participate in quests in a fantasy world. It’s a game
everyone can play anytime, anywhere, without the need to download and install a
client.
Ragnarok Journey the Casual Game
Aimed toward casual gamers,
Ragnarok has been re-imagined in an all new convenient AI-assisted adventure
style which makes grinding and leveling up easier. Battle monsters throughout
the world of Rune Midgard and use characters skills to traverse through new
dungeons and zones.
Ragnarok Journey offers a
completely unique playing experience. Some of the awesome features include choosing a specialized class—such as Mage or Swordsman at level 10,
characters accumulating new abilities by manually adding skill points, and
unleash devastating attacks on a menagerie of colorful fantasy monsters, the
same model used in the classic Ragnarok Online, and undertaking quests from
NPCs and enjoy daily rewards, just like
the great MMORPGs.
The Journey Grand Party
To
celebrate this momentous announcement, Gravity held a Grand Party for fans and
gamers at the Glorietta 2 Activity
Center in Ayala, Makati City.
None
other than Kitamura Yoshinori, President and Chief executive officer of Gravity
Co. Ltd. graced the event and welcomed attendees to the Grand Party. “We are excited to bring you ROJ within the
end of the year, this game brings you back to the nostalgic memories of the
original Ragnarok on a web browser. Followed by Ragnarok Online, Ragnarok
Journey is the first title to be serviced by Gravity Group,” Kitamura said.
Liliana Bae, Business Division /
Global Business Group Supervisor for
Gravity Co.,who helped launch Ragnarok in 2003,
was pleasantly surprised that a lot of Filipino gamers still remembered
and played Ragnarok Online (RO). Bae has talked with RO players from different
walks of life and they all remember the game with fondness and great memories.
“Ragnarok Journey will allow them to continue adventuring in the fantastical
world of Midgard, fight familiar mobs and monsters, meet new and old friends
easily.”
Bae added that Journey complements
new and current gaming lifestyles. “Ragnarok Journey is not there to compete
with other existing online games. We want to provide a wider choice of games
for our players to enjoy. We’re providing our players assistance so they can
rest without interrupting the game,” Bae added.
Casual
and hardcore gamers alike, enthusiasts, and long-time Ragnarok fans, from
different parts of the country gathered together to attend this highly anticipated
event. Attendees participated in the various programs and won awesome freebies
and exclusive Ragnarok Journey premium items.
Mall
shoppers and fans of the game were already forming a line early in the morning,
eager to join the new adventure ahead. The program, hosted by popular TV hosts
and GMA talents Betong Sumaya and Arianne Bautista, began with a bang and a
round of prizes!
Gravity
went all out and invited the some of the best local bands to entertain and
celebrate the event. Popular Filipino Synco-pop/alternative rock band Gracenote
warmed up the crowd with a long set of songs and a showcase of vocalist Eunice
Jorge’s multi-instrument talent.
Gravity
also held a cosplay contest and it was a sight to behold. Dozens of cosplayers
became competitive with their characters and props.
The
grand party for Ragnarok Journey was nothing short of spectacular as the
performances came one after another and the prizes just kept flowing until the
end of the program. Fans and gamers were also treated to collectibles after
visiting all the booths inside the area. One lucky kid won a motorcycle as the
big-ticket raffle prize as well.
