Moon Bear Thanksgiving Event at pagbubukas ng Event Shop, ngayong Oct. 22 na!

2008-10-14T16:55:00.000-07:00

May sorpresang darating ngayong October 22. Isa na rito ang pagdating ng cute na cute na Moon Bear na dadalaw sa RAN para mamigay ng Moon Lamp Headgear at Moon Bear Costumes! Basahin ang kwento at alamin kung paano!

Panahon na naman para sa Thanksgiving Feast ng mga diyos sa kalangitan. Ngayong taon, naatasan si Luna, ang diyosa ng buwan, na i-decorate ang hardin ng mga diyos kung saan gaganapin ang Thanksgiving Ball. Dahil sa likas na katamaran ni Luna, naisip n'yang utusan ang kanyang alagang oso na gawin ang kanyang trabaho. "Inilagay ko ang liwanag ng buwan sa mga lamparang iyan. Isabit mo sila sa bawat sulok ng hardin bago magsimula ang Thanksgiving Ball," ang bilin niya sa kanyang alaga. Agad na sumunod ang oso pero dahil hindi pa s'ya nakakarating sa hardin ng mga diyos, sinundan n'ya ang unang daan na kanyang nakita. Ang hindi n'ya alam, daan yun papunta sa mundo ng mga tao.

Ilang araw na lang bago ang Thanksgiving Feast pero hindi pa rin bumabalik ang oso. Dahil sa pag-aalalang baka tinakasan ng oso ang trabahong ibinigay n'ya rito, inutusan ni Luna ang kanyang bantay para hanapin ang kanyang nawalang alaga.

Tulungan ang bantay na hanapin si Moon Bear at magkaroon ng cute na cute na bagong headgear at costume!

Granado Espada Server Merge

2008-09-25T17:14:00.000-07:00

1. With the world migration, will there be server lag issues since there are more players in the server now?

Currently, our servers have only been utilizing between 6%-31% of its total capabilities. Lag can be a result of many issues, such as low spec graphic card or CPU, local ISP (Internet Service Provider) re-routing issues etc.

Furthermore, the new servers that we will be migrating to are far more powerful with its new hardware and system upgrades. We conservatively estimate that the utilization of the new servers after the world migration will not be likely to exceed 30% of its total capabilities.

2. What will become of Colony Wars after the World Migration where other powerful factions reside together in the new world?

Colony Wars will only become more challenging. Rivalries and competitions, all of which are vital elements in making each faction better. No longer would a single faction dominate the entire map allowing for a better balance of power and privileges. Factions will also have to stay on their toes and keep up with the others. All these would only mean a heightened energy level and tension within the GE world, making it so much more exciting to play.

3. Will there be a shortage of monsters and raids due to the additional families?

IMC has programmed Granado Espada such that monster spawn rates are directly dependent on the number of families in each map. The system detects the number of families in the map and automatically adjusts the monster spawn rates accordingly. The more families in the map = higher spawn rate.

One of the reasons why we have chosen to do the world migration just before the launch of V2.9 expansion is because the *new expansion for V2.9 has various instanced missions and raids. Instanced missions and raids mean that you will be able to participate in missions and raids that are exclusively to you and your party members, without the interference of external parties – this ensures that having additional families in the New World will not affect the outcome.

*In addition, 3 additional Super Fight maps (3 timings for each map), 3 Cooperative Missions, Secret Tower Raids, Reboldoeux Culverts Raids and new additional PvP maps like Royalist VS Republican Faction Fights which give additional EXP buffs as rewards will be coming out in V2.9 launch which is tentatively scheduled on 16 October 2008, Thursday.

4. What additional benefits are there for World Migration?

a) Improved World (Server) Monitoring

With fewer worlds (servers) to manage, this would free up more time and resources for Game Masters to physically log in and out to check on the different servers. They will also be able to work more closely with players who have provided them with information to perform periodically checks on parties using 3^rd party software.

b) ~50% Shorter Maintenance Time

With fewer worlds (servers) to manage, maintenance time is estimated to be shorter by around 50% bar any major patches or ad-hoc events. We believe that this exercise would enable us to have a quicker response to feedback and a more efficient and focused service to our valued gamers.

c) Community Bonding

An online game revolves around its community. The larger the community, the more vibrant and diversified it becomes. This is our aim when we set off to conduct this world migration. We believe that it will do the community good in the long run.

d) Longer Duration & More Frequent In-Game Events

With more resources, we can conduct more fun-filled events and be assured of better attendance. In the past, we often have to conduct in-game events world-by-world. This often means that some worlds would have to wait for their turn. With fewer worlds, we can now hold events that are of longer durations and at a more extensive manner.

*Based on V2.9 Secret of the Culverts patch notes description. More details will be released soon.

BLACK WASP ROUND 2 @ WRATH SERVER

2008-08-20T16:02:00.000-07:00

MORE FUN, MORE EXCITEMENT, MORE ACTION and MORE CHAOTIC! I'm lovin' it...

Congratulations to all the gamers of Wrath Server who have participated in the recently concluded BW event. They successfully defeated the Black Wasp Team. (Hooray!) They did not gave up on protecting GM Amethy despite the fact that all of the members of BW are so strong to the extent that they can wipe you all in just one hit T_T (luckily, there were only few of them who participated yesterday... 3 I guess) Being true to themselves, made us realize that they were brave enough to face and conquer all the challenges/obstacles that was given to them.

Typical day as a GM

2008-08-16T16:22:00.000-07:00

Many of you might ask, what is exactly the role of a GM (game master). So I thought it might be interesting to give you a quick background of whats it like working in a gaming company.
To start with, a GM is responsible to all the needs/concerns of the gamers. They make sure that everything is in place, just like what we do in our forums. We see to it that as much as possible, we can give enough time to communicate with you (gamers) and hear your voices. A GM must also have a lot of patience...hehe! why? because many gamers are cursing and punking US. But, yeah, we have to understand your situation. The reason why we're here is to listen and help. We have to maintain a positive disposition. So I suggest that we must respect each other in order for us to solve the problems in the easiest way. On the other hand, we are also in-charge for the maintenance of each server that you're playing. We make sure that all of them are running smoothly so you can enjoy your gaming experience throughout the day. ^_^ So as you can see, that's basically our daily routine.

As much as I want to share our world as a GM, we're not allowed to divulge certain aspects of what we are doing. It's for self protection purposes. (I hope you understand T_T)

As I finish this post, many of my co-employees are playing online games. Wehehe! What's the use of working in a gaming company if we don't play? ^_^

BLACK WASP @ WRATH SERVER

2008-08-16T16:17:00.000-07:00

These are the photos taken during the Black Wasp Event last Wednesday at Wrath server.

Let the game begins! More fun, more chaotic!!!!!!!! ^__^

Hardcore gamer or Casual gamer?

2008-08-10T16:00:00.000-07:00

Most of my friends who where lined as a hardcore gamers considered me only as a casual gamer, while the casual gamers I've met considered me as a hardcore gamer. So the question now boiled down to WHAT AM I? And WHERE DO I BELONG?

Way back when I was still in college, I used to play online games all the time. And when I say "all the time", I mean it literally. As in everyday. Why? Because I had all the time to play them fully without thinking of anything, except for my studies. But unfortunately all of this changes from the moment I left the academic environment and start on job hunting, until I found the perfect job that suits for me which is obviously a GM. ^_^ I basically stopped playing online games for like a couple of months already.

I would probably say that I might fall somewhere in between casual and hardcore. I honestly don't know what term will I use for this one... a MID-CORE I guess??? I think this will be the best or would I say 'accurate' term for myself as a gamer. ^_^ So there, I'm a MID-CORE gamer.

In my own opinion hardcore games are those which require you to devote a huge amount of time in order for you to enjoy the very best of the game you played. Unlike in casual games, this can be generally played without focusing too much to level-up. Moreover, this kind of games can be played in just short periods of time and you can set aside to play it later without thinking of being left behind or putting you to disadvantage. Ayt? ^__^

MMORPG...

2008-08-10T02:00:00.000-07:00

"MMORPG is a game with NO END, although objectives achieved through quests may define one's actions and activities. And the setting is a simulation of an explorable world, a truly virtual reality." Yea!! ^_^

Why I wanted to be a GAME MASTER?

2008-08-10T01:46:00.000-07:00

Well for me the main reason why I wanted to work as a game master is because this is what I dreamt/dreamed of ever since I started playing online games from year 2006. Basically the first online game that I played is actually RAN ONLINE. My college friend was the one who introduced me to the online gaming world. I was hooked since the day I started playing and I really enjoyed every single moment of it. This is somewhat like my own way in releasing stress. A place where I find pleasure and happiness. (Or what we so called Felicity...) I tend to forget all the problems that I'm dealing with. From the environment of the game up to the gamers I interacted with, there's that feeling this is really what I wanted. This is where I supposedly belong. I gained a lot of friends. And most of them were very true to themselves;
they're straightforward and don't want to keep on pretending the real thing. That's what I liked most on the online gaming scene. It's like my own sanctuary and my second life. Thus, I gained enough confidence to work as a game master here in IP e-Games. And I'm glad I did it! As of the moment I am enjoying my job every single day. I hope it will continue for the next 5 years. Wehehe! ^_^

All about Medea...

Who is Medea?
Medea was a devotee of the goddess Hecate, and one of the great sorceresses of the ancient world. She was the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, and the granddaughter of Helios, the sun god.

Where did I get the name Medea?
Well obviously I got this name in the Greek mythology book.

Why did I choose Medea?
To be perfectly honest, I have no idea... T_T But then again since Medea is a skilled sorceress, it eventually relates to the world of online gaming, where most of the characters deals with magic...hehe [don't you notice it?]...

**I live in a world of fantasy where it involves killing mobs and looting in exchange for cash and rare weapons. ^_^ So keep your reality away from me. I see what I want. I want what I see. And that is all okay by me.**
