Ragnarok Online Carnival 2005 Part 1
Reached there at about 11:30+ pm. Called Kenji that I'm confirmed going and I would help him do the lucky draw if I didn't see Cheong Mou. Kenji passed me 13 pieces of the used RO Monthly Access card on Friday. If I see Cheong Mou, I can just pass the cards to him and he will do it for Kenji. According to them, with the monthly access cards, we are suppose to be able to draw prizes.
Here's the Ragnarok Online (RO) Carnival 2005 entrance:
The pic was taken before I left though. That's why it's dark.
At the entrance, they are playing some Elva's song and have promo speeches like "Come join the fun at Ro Carnival blah blah blah...". Went in and walked around to check out the booths. Right at the entrance, there lies the RO Car. Yeah, it's a Kancil:
Front View
Side View A
Side View B
Cosplayers with really good costumes, obviously from Gameflier themselves, were standing around the car.
Sage (female version)
From left to right: Wizard and Monk (female version)
The Huntress aka Da Bomb of the day. lol. Yeah pathetic pic. Not only did I not zoom in close enough, she's so fair and the spotlight is directly shining on her. Siiiiggghhh!! Obviously there are other characters but I didn't manage to take all of em.
Also saw the "dogs" here ;). Long story. :P. Sent an SMS to From The Sea to tell her that. She told me that Fish and Jojo will be going. Didn't see them.
Flyers were given out. A Map and activites for the carnival are in it. There's also a coupon for redeeming some kind of souvenior and another for lucky draw. Went to Service Counter 2 to get the souvenior. It's a pencil. It has the words "Level Up" on it.
On the left, they are showing RO The Animation. Showed a few episodes.
Apprently there are two stages. One's where the main performances would be, the second one a smaller one has some performances (talent quest) as well and some Q&A games for the crowd to win prizes.
The main stage:
There were lots of booths. Some were interestingly named. Like the one where the merchandise are sold, Prontera (the capital city of MidGard) and The City of the Dead. Some were obviously named after the game itself like RO Ring Toss.
The booths:
As you can see from the pics, the place is jam packed. Mostly kids and teenagers wandering around. So proceeded to check out the prices of the merchandises. Found out the figurines are actually statues and they are not cheap.
Called From The Sea and told her about the prices. She's back at her hometown right now and couldn't come to buy the Poring and Angeling pillows. She confirmed she wanted both so I went to buy the vouchers to purchase the merchandises. You see, they have this brilliant idea not to take cash on the spot. You have to buy the vouchers to buy any sort of merchandises and to play the games. Sounds like a good plan and nothing will go wrong right? *rolls eyes*
Oh and you can't just go to the cashier booth to just straight out buy the stuff. You have to go to where they display it and take orders. Basically some people just stand around there with pen and papers, asks you what you want, you tell them the thing you want, they write down the designated number; gives it to you and you have to bring it to the cashier booth. Wow, lots of steps. It didn't just end there. You have to pay them, and then they give you a number, let's say "A00378" and asks you to come back after 15 - 30 minutes to collect your stuff.
So, while I was lining up to pay them, and juggling the coupons, they have this dance with the dancers dressed in RO characters dancing to the background music (bgm) of Level 4 Payon Dungeon. Pretty cool. Didn't manage to take pics of it though.
After the dance, heard the emcees brought some people from the crowd to play some game. Noticed that Fish is on stage!!! AAAAAA! Sorry, don't get to take pics for her. But later learned that Chris, who went with her, took it for her. Anyway, she was ridiculed on stage. She brought it to herself anyway. :P The emcees asked each and everyone their names and where are they from. When it's Fish's turn, she said that her nick in RO is Fishiee and: "Does anyone here know me??". Guess how the crowd responded? "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!". Hehehe! XD Poor Fish. They played some Pass the Angeling Pillow game. Winners get a more expensive prize, the losers get errr a less expensive prize.
Finally, it's my turn at the cashier! GARRGGGH!!! I miscalculated and the vouchers that I purchased were not enough! The guy asks me to cancel one item. Ok, nevermind, go buy somemore and then come back. Sounds like nothing would go wrong right? Hahahahaha....
Anyway, it's going to be a pretty darn long story. I"ll cut it into parts. To be continue...
