Pinoy Gaming World

Citizens of Midgard!

We would like to inform you that it’s official – Level Up! is merging the three (3) subscription servers, Baldur, Tyr and Freya into one. This new server will be called New Chaos and will mark a new chapter in Philippine Ragnarok Online.

The merge will happen sometime this November. Level Up! is just finalizing the details and exact schedules. In the meantime, here’s what you and your guildmates need to know.

1. Complete Mechanics - like what they did before, Level Up! will publish and announce all the details soon so that you know how to log-in and have all the information about your merged accounts. Details such as similar names and others will be covered there. Konting intay na lang po.

2. What’s in store after the merge? – Of course, the Agit Siege will be more exciting! A merged server means a lot more players, guilds and competition. The RO team has lots in Agit and PVP based events (in fact, Level Up! plan to make the web-based agit scoring permanent and reward those guilds who consistently top the charts). Time to call back all those old friends and guildmates. You’ll need all the help you can get.

3. What about the price? – New Chaos will still be subscription. But don’t worry, they’re slashing off the subscription rate as a bonus for all of the loyal pRO players. They will announce the new rates soon. And yes, item mall discounts and bundles will be available for everyone to enjoy.

That’s it for now.

Stay tuned for more news and details about the merge in the coming days.

The online game business in the Philippines is heating up with online game publisher Level Up! leading the pack with a triple-treat launch of games.

During the recently held Level Up Live! gaming convention, the company announced that it will be carrying the games Hello Kitty Online, Emil Chronicle Online, and Rohan Online.

However, no further details have been provided as to the dates of the start of the beta testing and commercial launch of the games.

Level Up! Multimedia Head Joey Alarilla told INQUIRER.net they will be releasing new information about the games for the local market very soon.

Level Up! had previously launched two other games this year, Crazy Kart and Grand Chase, both of which are targeted at much younger players.

Hello Kitty Online, developed by Sanrio Digital, can also be considered as a casual game due to the use of the popular Japanese toy line of the same name. As such, it mostly focuses on resource collection and social interaction rather than battles.

Nevertheless, Hello Kitty Online is categorized as a massively-multiplayer online game.

Meanwhile, Emil Chronicle Online is another MMORPG and is developed by Headlock. It also has resource collection elements but also focuses on battles. There are a total of 12 classes from three races that can be chosen as playable characters in the game.

Rohan Online, made by YNK Korea, is a heavy hack-and-slash MMORPG. It allows open PvP (player versus player) and lower guilds can attack ruling guilds for the right to control towns.

MANILA, Philippines — Game publishing company Asian Media unveiled a new casual game that will be the company’s first free-to-play.

Asian Media sealed a partnership with Korean game developer NCSoft to launch the game Exteel in the Philippines.

The game is an anime-themed, third-person shooter. Players control “mechanaughts” or armored robots over huge futuristic maps.

The mechanaughts can be armed with various weapons including swords, spears, submachine guns, rifles, rocket launchers, among others.

The mechanaughts’ features can also be customized with booster packs, body armor, and even warpaint.

Despite Exteel being identified as a casual game, its graphics can be compared to many hack-and-slash type online games. Exteel requires a minimum 800 Megahertz processor, 256 megabytes of memory and a 128 Mb videocard.

In an interview, Asian Media Chief Operating Officer Ronald Allan Aquino said they might start closed beta test of the game in Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia by the first quarter of 2009.

He also explained that the decision to go free-to-play was due to the huge market for such games. In contrast, Asian Media started out selling boxed games and pay-to-play of Lineage II.

For now, Aquino said the local website for Exteel is still being developed, though enthusiasts can visit the game’s official site.

Closed Beta Testing of Grand Chase will end today, October 27, 2008 at 1:00 PM!

Please be informed that all CBT data such as levels, characters, items will be reset due to the Closed Beta setting.

We are pleased to announce that on Nov. 4 1PM, Open Beta Testing starts for ALL players!

So what are you waiting for? Gear up and practice those combos more this weekend before CBT ends so that all of us will be fully prepared for Open Beta!

One of the most eagerly-anticipated games in the history of the Sony PlayStation has been delayed because of concerns some of the background music may offend Muslims, the game’s developers said Monday.

LittleBigPlanet, in which gamers can customize the rag-doll protagonist Sackboy and allow it to roam through an interactive world filled with different challenges, had been hailed by video games website IGN as “nothing short of astounding” and given a review rating of 9.5 out of 10.

But its release date has been put back after one of its background music tracks, a song by Mali-born artist Toumani Diabate, was found to have included expressions from the Koran, which could be interpreted as an offense to Muslims.

“We’re sure that most of you have heard by now that one of the background music tracks that was licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Koran,” a statement on the game’s website read.

“We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologize for any offense this may have caused.

“We will begin shipping LittleBigPlanet to retail in North America the week of October 27.”

According to a separate statement on the website of Media Molecule, the British-based developers of LittleBigPlanet, they were “shell-shocked and gutted” by the delay to the game’s release.

“We learnt… that there is a lyric in one of the licensed tracks which some people may find offensive, and which slipped through the usual screening processes,” the statement read.

“Obviously MM and Sony together took this very seriously. LBP should be enjoyable by all.”

A post on a Sony public Internet forum alerted developers to the issue, noting that Diabate’s “Tapha Niang” included two expressions from the Koran that could cause offense to Muslims.

The forum user, who identified himself only as “yasser”, said that “Muslims consider the mixing of music and words from our Holy Quran deeply offending (sic),” in a post on Thursday.

The delayed release was welcomed by some Muslim commentators, with Manzoor Moghal of the Muslim Forum think-tank telling the BBC that the game’s developers should be praised for “taking decisive action by withdrawing these games immediately, and releasing a version that is not offensive to Muslims.”

Sony was forced to apologize in June 2007 when it emerged that one of its video games, “Resistance: Fall of Man”, featured a violent shootout inside a building that resembled an Anglican cathedral in Manchester, northern England.

The news was condemned by Anglican leaders, who demanded that the game be removed from store shelves, a request Sony refused.

In 2005, the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, deemed blasphemous in the Islamic world, in a Danish newspaper sparked outrage and violent protests in several countries.

The caricatures were then reprinted earlier this year by several other Danish newspapers.

HighStreet 5 has become one of the most popular game communities all because of your support and contribution! To thank all of you loyal players, we have decided to run a SUPER 50% Points Rebate Scheme from 22 Oct (5PM) - 29 Oct (5PM) 2008!

Filipino-owned company Ubersoft Inc. has started offering an advertisement-wrapped mobile game download service called Swoopin.

The service allows users to download as many free mobile Java games as they want to their mobile phones via Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) and only pay for the corresponding phone network fees.

The ad-wrap feature will become available whenever mobile phone users start playing games.

There are also 850 Java games in 14 available categories ranging from racing, action, puzzle, sports, casino, arcade, among others.

More games are being added every week.

All of the games in the Swoopin website are also available on Swoopin’s Facebook and on Swoopin’s official wapsite.

In an interview, Ubersoft CEO Vince Yamat explained that there will be two to three advertisements showing up before and after a downloaded game is played.

However, the ads will only connect to the Swoopin server on the first and fourth attempt to play.

Essentially, the game is already been paid for by the advertisements.

Yamat said the advertisements will not appearing during gameplay so as not to disturb the mobile phone user’s playing experience.

“Whenever Swoopin games connect to the Internet the charges will be very minimal. Much of the revenue we generate in this service will come from advertisements. What we realized is that the preferred payment for players is free,” Yamat said.

Swoopin will target all markets and not just the Philippines. Thus, initial advertisements will come from foreign firms, such as Amazon.com and Best Buy.

Yamat said they are already in talks with advertising resellers and distribution channels in the Philippines to promote the service.

“There is a huge market for advertising on mobile games in the Philippines. We only need to look for the right channels,” he said.

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!


Mekaniks:

1. Si Moon Bear ay may kapangyarihang magtago sa Fate Box. Kapag lumabas si Moon Bear mula sa Fate Box, hulihin s’ya at kunin ang Dormant Moon Lamps sa kanya.

2. Kapag nakakuha ka na ng 20 Dormant Moon Lamps, hanapin ang sugo ni Luna at ibigay sa kanya ang mga lampara.

3. Bilang kapalit sa tulong mo, bibigyan ka n’ya ng pagkakataong pumili ng reward na gusto mo: Moon Lamp Headgear o Moon Bear Costume. Pagkatapos ay bibigyan ka n’ya ng coupon.

4. Kailangan ng limang (5) coupons para makabuo ng costume at headgear.

5. Kapag nakumpleto mo ang limang (5) coupons, lumapit sa sugo ni Luna at ipagpalit ang mga ito sa Moon Bear Leather Apparels na gusto mo.


Hindi lang yan ang sorpresang matatanggap n’yo dahil ngayong October 22, 2008, muling bubuksan ang Event Shop Services! Kasama sa pwede n’yong i-avail ay ang mga sumusunod:

GADGETS Magazine Editor John Nieves will head to Hong Kong at the end of the month to represent the Philippines in the first Intel Asia PC Gaming Showdown, which is a competition open to gaming journalists and amateur gamers.

Nieves will be facing off against game journalists from Thailand and Malaysia.

Nieves won the top prize in the Philippine leg of the competition, which pits gaming journalists in three games from Electronic Arts; Crysis, Need for Speed Pro Street and FIFA 2008.

In an interview, Nieves said he has already been practicing on FIFA 2008, the only game that he is not strongly familiar.

“Crysis plays much like most first-person shooters that I’ve played before so it’s easy to pick up and I’ve been playing the Need for Speed series since it came out. Soccer games are more difficult for me because I’m not much into sports games,” he said.

The grand winner of the Hong Kong finals will take home an high-end Alienware gaming PC powered by an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor while the second place winner will be awarded with a Creative Gigaworks S750 gaming speaker system.

From October 17th (4:00pm) to October 28th (5:00pm), 2008, EagleGame will run a limited promotion for players who have never topped-up before. If, you haven't topped up for your account before, they have a one-time special deal for you! You will receive an EXTRA 100 Cash Points plus 15 Fallen Feathers if you top-up with PHP50 prepaid cards! That means you only need to spend PHP50 for a total of 300 Cash Points plus 15 Fallen Feathers!

This is a limited one-time offer for accounts that have never topped up before! Enjoy your bonus cash points, go collect 10 more feathers and the gorgeous White Angel Wings will be yours!

Tips:

Fallen Feather: You can trade in for a pair of white Angel Wings when you have collected 25 Fallen Feathers. The system will automatically send you the 30-day white Angel Wings via in-game mail. There are also other ways to get Fallen Feathers:

1. Go online during 20:00 -24:00 and you will receive 5 'Jumbo Treasure Boxes' for FREE; you may get Fallen Feathers from the Treasure Box.

NO, they’re not the infamous beast from Voltes V, a famous and classic Japanese anime about a super robot. It is a seven-man team that won in the recently held Ragnarok Online Philippine Championships.

The so-called “Bozanian Beastfighters” will represent the Philippines in the upcoming Ragnarok World Championships in Manila on October 18.

Members of the Bozanian Beastfighter are Frederick Banaag, Cris John Dimaunahan, Emmanuel de Leon, Ralph Christopher Magbag, Mel Bryan Unera, Jeffrey Custodio, and Miguel Luis Angeles.

They beat the teams Renegade and Demented who were in second and third place, respectively.

The event will also coincide with the annual Level Up! Live annual convention at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

This year’s winning team is the same team that represented the Philippines in the Ragnarok World Championship 2007 held in Seoul, South Korea. The team won third place against 10 other countries.
