I found this hidden in Ragnarok Source's forums, I don't even think they put it on their main page.... don't know why...
'course I might just be slow on the uptake again for not checking everyone's main page.
1/With your recent hiring as GM for the English Ragnarok Online beta, how
many people are now working on the English beta exclusively?
Unfortunately untill now there is only me.But It's not like a lack of human resource problem,I heard there is the different plan for
each server.Also same as me,in japanese server there is only one gamemaster named `Member X' and he manages 3 servers in Japanese server.
2/Does Gravity intend to hire in game 'Police' or 'Admins' that patrol the
servers for hackers and scammers once RO English switches from Free to Pay 2
Play, kind of like Lineage?
It is under consideration.Alo that is just what I have wished for. It would be activated after settle down in Korean server first.(It is on the test now.)
3/What is Gravity's forecasted number of English subscribers when the game
is Pay 2 play?
Sorry but we can't give you the definite answer.
4/Are there any plans to move the English beta server to North America?
Definately. And it will be soon.
5/In recent times, the server population exceeded 8000 users at peak hours,
while at the same time, none of the Korean or Japanese servers exceed 5000
users. Does Gravity plan to give english users another server?
Yes but it will be after fixing up hacks and a few troubles.
6/Many non-english speaking people have been using the english beta in
recent times. Does Gravity mind if people from Germany, France, Thailand
and Malaysia play on the english server if they cannot understand english?
Yes. And in future they can play Ragnarok in their own tongue.
7/Will the 2nd job class be introduced to the beta before the free trial
ends? How about PK / Alignment?
It is under consideration as the other details and it will be changeable ifit's necessary.
8/What changes will be made to existing classes once the 2nd class is
available? Any skill changes or serious balance changes to the existing
classes?
Both of them are on the test now and when they come up clearly we will let you know.
9/Is the game's flow and style going to change between now and retail? Is
the game more or less what Gravity wants it to be like?
As far as I am concerned details will be upgraded in many ways(Of course) but I believe the hard core of Ragnarok(The community function and cute style etc.) won't be changed.
10/Is Gravity going to sell property on the servers like houses?
The details are under consideration.
11/Can you give a brief description of how quests in the game will be like?
Sorry because it is in the development stage.
12/What is Gravity's opinion of players selling items for real money on
services such as EBay similar to how they do for other MMORPGS like
Everquest and Ultima Online?
We don't want players to sell items for real cash or credit.It is illegal and also they who wish to make big money with items are robbing Gravity's property not their's. They don't understand what the tester means. In our point of view we lend our property for free to them and we ask them to test Ragnarok how it is.
13/What precautions are Gravity taking to make sure that Ragnarok has a
smooth launch with a well polished product (unlike World War Two Online,
Tribes 2, Anarchy Online)?
We are just trying to make Ragnarok getting better and better.
We believe nothing perfect and it can be fixed when we realise and try to find out.
14/What is Gravity's stance on programs that edit/modify/read the games
memory and packets? What is Gravity opinion of these 4 modifications:
-Sasami's EXP viewer (memory reader)
We already told that person we didn't want players to make any kind of emulators for Ragnarok even though they insistes it is helpfull to play.But that person didn't seem to understand or accept.Without that EXP viewer we have a plan for better system in future.
-Anti-crash (receiving packet editor)
Our position is same as above.
-Arsekit (outgoing packet editor)
After tests,it turned out to be useless(After each patches).Our position is same.And it's related thegleek.com and there are many hackers as far as we concerned.
-Auto kill bot (packet editor, external client)
This program makes tons of trouble like crashing and disconnected.The worst thing is it makes player who use bot to be able to steal the others
ID and password and to change their character name so that they can cheat and behave rude in Ragnarok without any restriction.
This makes really really serious problem and we are taking a strong action against it.Also as a gamemaster I won't let them play.
15/Does Gravity plan to have a large Print and Web advertisement campaign
for the English version of Ragnarok Online?
Yes.
16/What is the favorite character class at Gravity?
You mean Our point of view or my point of view?
Actually we like all characters because we have created them.
And me I play with my level 16 theif and I'm used to play swordgirl in Korean server.
Now I am feeding up my cute mage girl.
Thank you so much and Have a nice day.And Say hello to all players for me.
Anyhoo, I've sent a very long email about this line regaurding your hack: "But that person didn't seem to understand or accept."
I'm pretty certain that you never got an email saying that, only the standard, "We are thinking about it." that I got.... Seeing that I've been sending a LOT of emails regaruding this, and I never got one about that either... yea. Oh well, we'll see how they respond.
