Ragnarok Online Malaya Philippines Map Details

A recent update at the Korean Ragnarok Online Sakray server has revealed that a map based on the Philippines called Malaya has finally been incorporated into the game. Ragnarok Online’s Malaya Map (Malaya being the filipino word for Freedom) has a classic turn of the century Spanish-Filipino design with some very familiar elements such as Jose Rizal’s monument and Corregidor Island.

Expect to see Ragnarok Online’s version of Filipino monsters around the field maps with levels from 100-150. The MVP monster for Malaya map is still unknown but the new monsters are named and modeled according to Philippine folklore as evidenced from the patch files:

JT_BUNGISNGIS
JT_ENGKANTO
JT_MANANANGGAL
JT_MANGKUKULAM
JT_TIKBALANG
JT_TIYANAK
JT_WAKWAK
JT_JEJELING
JT_BANGUNGOT_1
JT_BANGUNGOT_2
JT_BUWAYA
JT_BAKONAWA_1
JT_BAKONAWA_2
JT_BAKONAWA_3

Filipinos familiar with the list above may see and realize one type of monster not included in Filipine folk tales, but is instead a portmanteau of the humble Poring species and the local subculture known as “Jejemons.” How the Jejeling looks like is still best left to our imagination… at least until the sprite is revealed in the next update.

Further inspection of the patch data also reveals that Malaya bears the map “job_ko.” This new map is presumed to be the job change map for the Ninja’s second class: Kagero and Oboro. Skill names for the Kagero and Oboro are listed below, sans the descriptions of course:

KO = Both Kagerou/Oboro can use it.
KG = Only Kagerou can use it.
OB = Only Oboro can use it.
