Downfall of pRO

Philippine Ragnarok Online a.k.a pRO was one of the 1st mmorpg introduced in the country and was easily loved by the locals due to it's anime-ish graphics and LOTR (Lord of the Ring) job classes. The game was a BOOM in 2003 when it was first released, hauling more than 10k players in Chaos server in it's open beta season. But the craze didn't stop there.... when it officially goes commercial it also introduced 2 new servers, Loki and Iris (Actually Iris was released after 1 month prior to the launch of Loki.), to avoid major traffic LUG (Level Up Games) introduced 3 more servers to the family of pRO, Sarah, Lydia, and Odin. 

But as more servers were introduced, players are gettin' greedy and more corrupted. The official downfall of pRO started here, where Bots were starting to spawn from minimal to uncontrollable! Almost 80% of the gamer population were bots. and people wants to acquire their dream items the easy way, so PHP-selling or real money trade was born too. Alas... what will become of pRO? Well, we'll pretty much see the big picture soon.

Players started to change their game of choice as other companies introducing new mmo games, while others quit the pRO scenario due to the company's negligence and poor customer support. Hacked accounts were not compensated until recently.

With the recent rollbacks of items and DUPEs (Duplication of in-game Items) that was causing a haox within the pRO community, this when it reached it's final toll. I personally will quit the game within this year as I begin to switch to Granado Espada, a new game that is fresh and has a cheerful community compared to pRO's dark black society. 

Sad to say that the once ever popular pRO is seeing it's end, although not very soon yet.... but it's going that way. Therefore I bid farewell my beloved pRO. Thanks for making part of my memory.
