Maybe I should say foolhardy rather than simply hardy since Bahamas Swamp will require more than just bravado but real cohones nerves of steel. Fortunately for both types of adventurers, Granado Espada’s latest update and the map that comes with it are the keys to some of this game world’s most powerful weapons and armors.
Let […]

I thought Granado Espada, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game published in Southeast Asia by Infocomm Asia Holdings Pte Ltd, was the only one experiencing problems with anti-virus programs interpreting MMORPG anti-hack programs as viruses.
It turns out the problem is universal that even seasoned MMORPG developers and publishers are being plagued by it. Take, for […]

Do you have what it takes to become Duke or President?
Well, we’ll know tomorrow, March 1, as denizens of Granado Espada troop to the Royalist Reception Hall or the Republican Villa de Libertad to vote for the faction of their choice. The elections for duke or president, however, isn’t nearly as important as the outcome: […]

I have this habit of revisiting some of the MMORPGs I’ve played before.
A couple of weeks ago, I reinstalled Granado Espada (after a horrendous three-day download marathon) and had a blast playing my family, The Estrangheros, again. It was short-lived, however, because my anti-virus program kept blocking or deleting X-Trap, the game’s supposedly anti-hacking program.
I’ve […]

Well, not really. I just can’t play it at the moment. Let me explain.
I usually leave my Granado Espada family, The Estrangheros, in Al Quelt Moreza, a dungeon for families with members Level 7 to, well, 20-ish, after a hard day of playing another game, Perfect World.
This happens around, hmmm, five in the morning. Once […]

A few months ago, I stole something very valuable—time. Not just any “time,” but time—an hour to be exact—spent playing my Perfect World characters just to play rival MMORPG Granado Espada.
Granado Espada holds a lot of promise—it’s probably one of the best MMORPGs in the Asian market in terms of gameplay, graphics, sound and features.
What […]

I love gifts … who doesn’t? And since I’m a fanatic massively multiplayer online role-playing game geek, I’d want gifts that appeal to my tastes and send shivers through all my five senses—in real life and in virtual reality.
My wife, being an MMORPG player herself, is now saddled with the monumental task of finding the […]

Okay. So we’ve established the fact that you are a player of one or more massively multiplayer online role-playing games. What we haven’t found out, however, is who you are in-game.
No, I’m not talking about the roles you play, including whether you cross-dress as much as your character. What I’m getting at, as the title […]

About a month ago, I had the privilege of “owning” a shiny new laptop. Yeah, go ahead and click that if you want to see how good it looks and how powerful it is. Anyway, being a gamer at heart, I didn’t use it for mundane tasks, such as writing stories for blogs and gaming […]
