When I visited friends up at Level Up! Games, Philippine publisher of hit MMORPGs like Ragnarok Online, Perfect World, and RF Online, I received a tip from GM Tristan (mild-mannered Mon Macutay) that if you really want to take top spot in Crazy Kart, the company’s newest baby, you should learn to be patient.

It’s about the only thing I can say about it now. I just logged into the game a few hours ago and haven’t had the time to go beyond Level 4, not to mention the newbie leveling area.

After half a day of downloading, I finally got my Perfect World Philippines client up and running again. My first reaction to the latest Perfect World patch, Frost City: Both excited and disappointed. Let me explain.
I hate what they’ve done with the text or font. The previous font and spacing fit the Perfect World client […]

The other day, I wrote about my frustration over not being able to play Rising Force Online because of a faulty client. Yesterday, I spent the entire day offline. The day off would have been great if it had been an active choice. But, no, I was forced to stay offline because I had to […]

Grrrr. Now I can’t wait to get into the game. C’mon, BitTorrent! Download faster!

Woot! I almost forgot about my date with destiny in Ethergia, the mythical world of Gravity’s latest masterpiece, Requiem: Bloodymare. It’s a good thing I received an email from Gravity reminding me of the official launch of Requiem: Bloodymare on June 19. June 19! Egad, I’m already late!

Yes, the wife and I have decided to call Ragnarok Online Philippines our temporary virtual home until the Guardians of Perfect World Philippines’ Tiger Server rethinks its policies or hell freezes over. Oh, you missed my tirade about the spat between me and another clan officer? Don’t worry … I took it all the gory […]

No, I didn’t quit from the game. I just quit from my clan. But before I go into details, let me tell you a little about what has happened this past week.

Recently, a clanmate, `Aribeth, has come under fire for her successive capture of the much-coveted Eye of the Jungle from the Jungle Relic, a dungeon in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Perfect World.

Just as I promised myself before I left Leyte for Manila, I visited Level Up! Games and had lengthy discussions with some of the local online games industry’s most charismatic personalities: Jake San Diego, Mon Macutay, Kiven Codamon, JC Medina, and Carlo Ople. I also had a short chat with Keith Morales, brand manager of […]
