Got Seduced in DarkEden

2011-12-08T18:02:00.000-08:00

After DarkEden was introduced
I was like “OMG, I got seduced by a sexy girl monster in DarEden”
I was on my way inside Caligo Dungeon when a boss cursed me with a skill called “Seduction” and bashed my character to death. Now im level 87 and all I do is grind, I think I can call this a day. It was like 5 hours ago I started a character from a scratch.

5 hours ago before Darkeden was introduced
I really don’t have any idea about what DarkEden is, it was introduced by my friend. I called up Mr. Google and ask him about what DarkEden is, he replied;

“DarkEden is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing computer game in isometric projection or 3/4 perspective to be published by a well known game publishing company, Ignited Games. The game has a horror theme based on a war between humans (Slayers), vampires and Ousters in a region called Helea located in a fictional country of Eastern Europe known as Eslania”

A vampire themed MMORPG? Quite interesting. I clicked on the official site of Ignited Games and searched for DarkEden. And saw this Announcement

Am I late for the CBT 2? I tried to registered on Ignited Games site for DarkEden, and guess what? I successfully registered an account. I am ready to play!
And upon playing the game, I build up things on my mind

Gameplay

Darkeden is a hack-and-slash game, which requires the players to kill hordes of monsters in order to make their character progress.

This character progression varies according to the different races. Slayers only have to attack a monster or player to gain experience points. Vampires need to kill a monster or player and drink its blood to gain the full extent of the experience points available. Ousters just have to kill to gain these points. For the same monster, ousters gain more experience points out of them than vampires do even when drinking their blood.

This is an aspect of the balanced system present in the game between the races having each a special advantage: the slayers sell the heads and skulls of monsters (one of the ways to make money in the game) at the highest prices to npc, the vampires drop the best items out of the 3 races, and the ousters get experience points the quickest.

Darkeden is oriented toward player versus player. Except for few safe zones, players can be attacked without any restriction at any moment by other players.

There are three different time periods that regulate the battles in Helea. The first period takes place between 9h and 16h59 which is called day time or full day. During that period, vampires are at their weakest and slayers and ousters have the upper hand on them. The second time period happens between 21h and 4h59 which is night time or full night. It is during that lapse of time that vampires are the most efficient and cause the most damage to their preys. Finally, the periods comprised between 5h - 8h59 and 17h - 20h59 are the transition time during which slayers, ousters and vampires fight on the same ground.
This system offers a very balanced game-play as a vampire can be completely annihilated by day time by a said slayer while when night time comes, this same vampire could dispose of him or her pretty easily (granted they are in the same range of levels). This time effect doesn't concern ousters vs slayers fights but it does with monsters that are considered "vampires".

Players may change the race of their character during their progression. If a human is bitten by a vampire, they will turn into a vampire unless they cure themselves in time. Vampire characters can choose to turn humans by talking to an NPC who will do the work for them.

Rosh Online

2011-11-29T18:44:00.000-08:00

Rosh Online is a remake of Karos online a 3D fantasy action MMORPG set in the gorgeously designed, war-torn world of Asmara. One of the games' most defining features are its varied PvP options, decent/gorgeous graphics, and the unique Fletta progression system which compliments the traditional leveling system. Those looking for a top-notch fantasy MMORPG should look no further; Rosh Online is well worth checking out.

Rosh online has a stunning graphics which is one of the game asset, lined up with the best hi end graphic game currently in the market

Rosh online offers 4 playable races - Human, Shadow, Seroine and Vaneese

Human,just like other game description. we all know what human looks like

Shadow, they are the game’s equivalent to dark elfs.

Seroines, is just a renamed version of the classical light elfs – pointy ears, unique hair color, love for nature..

Vaneese, has a dwarf looks which looks like Kardel if you are playing Dota, except vaneese looks fat and kinda line-eyed character

From left-right:
Mystic, Blader, Bowmistress, Paladin (behind of bowmistress), Gunner, Rogue, Sorceress

Rosh has a limited customization choices for race, class and gender. Male is only available on Blader, Rogue and Gunner while Female is exclusively available on Paladin, sorceress, bowmistress and mystic. So you have no other choice if you wanted to create a Female blader, should be male

1st timer

As a first timer, i found it hard to wait for the loading screen. its hard when you have a crappy net connection.

as i landed on the character screen selection upon creation, im having fun mouse overring those characters, but reaction of Blader and Rogue looks gay when you mouse over it..LOL

i love mouseoverring Mystics.. LOL

kidding aside, i choose gunner

Game play
game play is quite the same as other hack and slash MMORPG. With this kind of gameplay, i would recommend to have a quest aside while grinding. Quest will give additional experience to your character aside from griding, and in this way experience will be boosted.

this review will continue as i go far in game..as for now this is it

Dark Eden CBT ends :(

2011-11-14T19:32:00.000-08:00

Im glad that i was a part of the DarkEden CBT that takes place last November 7. Im really surprised about the action that Ignited games Philippines has made to be able to give the players a good game..Updates are somehow fast, but sometimes slow, i know that they are doing their best to make the game more enjoyable to play.

Greetings Heleans!

We would like to express our sincere thanks for your participation in the DarkEden Closed Beta. Your feedback on everything from bug reports to game suggestions has been duly noted by the DarkEden team in our efforts to deliver a bloody good game.

The Closed Beta testing period will end on November 14, 2011 at 6 pm Pacific Time. We will be taking down the servers and there will be a short cool down period. It will not be long though and we will keep you updated.
*Make sure to visit the official website & forums regularly.
*Join the official Facebook page & invite your friends too!
*Be the first to know when DarkEden returns!

Thank you for your continued support!

The DarkEden Team

DarkEden GMs have done a good work, because they are always on the town to help players who have had experienced errors in the game, but i think they need something, to be recognized by the players. A simple GM Icon above their head will do.. a bit of color change..Because sometimes, they are taken for granted by some of players and haven't receive a good respect.

And now the game already ended, i wished they will launch their DarkEden OBT sooner.

Darkeden

2011-11-03T20:19:00.000-07:00

Overview

DarkEden is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing computer game in isometric projection or 3/4 perspective. It is the first MMORPG in the horror genre. The game revolves around the everlasting war between humans and vampires in a region called Helea located in a fictional country of Eastern Europe known as Eslania.

Darkeden Features:

1. Unique Subject And Genre:
Unlike other MMORPG's, this game takes place in a near-future environment with vampires as its unique subject. A modern horror fantasy environment has been constructed with a mix of classic Asian fantasy, medieval fantasy, and sci-fi.

2. Racial Conflicts Based On Powerful Plot:
You can freely choose one of the two contesting races-vampires, the Slayers. Minor territorial conflicts naturally cause small battles between the races. In the Sacred Ground of Adam, large-scale warfare between the races and siege between guilds take place, with integral elements of strategy.

3. Distinguished Racial Features:
Two systems coexist in Dark Eden by race. Vampires use the level system and the Slayers the skill system. Each race shows its distinct features in its growth system, items, skills, and classes. There are various vehicles or magic to take you across the vast map such as motorcycle, helicopter, bat, warp tunnel, sylph, jam, Horn of the Earth Elemental. Each race has its own strengths and weaknesses. Ousters, the third race of Darkeden, is half human and half vampire with using magic listed below.

4. Time Influence:
The night and day cycle not only affects the vision of the characters or the change in the environments, but has different effects on different races. While vampires are more powerful at night, the Slayers become relatively more powerful during the day.

5. Rank System:
A rank system has been separately implemented from the level system. For every rank you achieve, you can selectively learn rank skills.

6. Diverse Skills:
Vampires can use about 40 different skills and magic. Slayers can use about 100 skills and magic. In addition to this, there are approximately 30 different passive skills according to the rank of the character.

DarkEden Vampire themed MMORPG

2011-11-02T17:09:00.000-07:00

DarkEden is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing computer game in isometric projection or 3/4 perspective to be published by a well known game publishing company, Ignited Games. The game has a horror theme based on a war between humans (Slayers), vampires and Ousters in a region called Helea located in a fictional country of Eastern Europe known as Eslania

Story

Vlad Tepes, Elizabeth Bathory, and Gilles de Rais, three of the twelve master vampires, form an alliance and enter the mountainous area of Helea, killing every person they find. They then attempt to awaken Lilith, the mother of all vampires, so that they can have her power. Opening her tomb does not awaken her, but it does create a cloud over Helea that blocks the sun, making Helea a dark eden for vampires.
The human world responded by isolating the region and sending in their militaries to try to rid the area of vampires.
The master vampires soon discover that the only way to gain the power they seek is to search for the pieces of Lilith’s soul, which were scattered about the area of Helea. Unwilling to share this power, they break their alliance and begin a civil war.
Later, an ancient race of people known as the Ousters awakens from their long sleep and are shocked to see what the vampires and humans have done to Helea. They begin to attempt to wipe them from the area.

Gameplay

Darkeden is a hack-and-slash game, which requires the players to kill hordes of monsters in order to make their character progress. This character progression varies according to the different races. Slayers only have to attack a monster or player to gain experience points. Vampires need to kill a monster or player and drink its blood to gain the full extent of the experience points available. Ousters just have to kill to gain these points. For the same monster, ousters gain more experience points out of them than vampires do even when drinking their blood. This is an aspect of the balanced system present in the game between the races having each a special advantage: the slayers sell the heads and skulls of monsters (one of the ways to make money in the game) at the highest prices to npc, the vampires drop the best items out of the 3 races, and the ousters get experience points the quickest.
Darkeden is oriented toward player versus player. Except for few safe zones, players can be attacked without any restriction at any moment by other players.
There are three different time periods that regulate the battles in Helea. The first period takes place between 9h and 16h59 which is called day time or full day. During that period, vampires are at their weakest and slayers and ousters have the upper hand on them. The second time period happens between 21h and 4h59 which is night time or full night. It is during that lapse of time that vampires are the most efficient and cause the most damage to their preys. Finally, the periods comprised between 5h - 8h59 and 17h - 20h59 are the transition time during which slayers, ousters and vampires fight on the same ground. This system offers a very balanced game-play as a vampire can be completely annihilated by day time by a said slayer while when night time comes, this same vampire could dispose of him or her pretty easily (granted they are in the same range of levels). This time effect doesn't concern ousters vs slayers fights but it does with monsters who are considered "vampires".

Winslayer 2d overview

2011-10-30T15:24:00.001-07:00

Winslayer 2d overview
Wind Slayer is a cartoony 2D side scrolling fantasy MMORPG. The game has ‘cute’ anime graphics and has a lot of features. Unlike other side scrolling MMORPGs that lack PvP, one of Wind Slayer’s biggest focus is its arena based PvP When I first found out that Wind Slayer got licensed by Ignited games I was pretty excited. I don’t know what it is, but I’m a huge fan of Ignited games MMORPG portal. Maybe it’s just their website’s design that attracts me, but for whatever reason I feel as if they’ve done a great job during the CBT by keeping their MMORPGs hack free. One thing I’d like to point out about Wind Slayer before I begin talking about the game’s specific features is that the game is NOT a Maplestory clone! With the almost sudden growth of the side scrolling MMORPG genre it’s not surprising that newer games will borrow features from older ones

Publisher: Ignited games
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Medium Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Arena
Filesize: ~ 300 MB

Pros: +Large game world. +Fun and rewarding arena based PvP. +Varied classes and job advancements. +Plenty of quests available.

Cons: - lacks of macro controls

Wind Slayer is one of Outspark’s latest games and its foray into the world of side scrolling MMORPGs. The game is a 2D Fantasy MMORPG that looks a lot like several other popular side scrolling MMORPGs but with a slight graphical variation.

The game’s six starting classes are:

Warrior – Warriors are in Wind Slayer are the traditional melee oriented class with strong defense and powerful melee attacks. They also have the largest amount of hit points in the game.

Rogue - Rogues in Wind Slayer are capable of dealing massive amounts of damage relatively quickly but have low hit points and weaker defense than the other melee classes.

Archer – Archers in Wind Slayer are capable of attacking their enemies from a distance with powerful attacks but are vulnerable to in melee combat.

Mage - Mages in Wind Slayer are able to do massive amounts of damage from a distance with their spells but have some of the lowest hit points and armor in the game.

Monk - Monks in Wind Slayer are adept at using martial arts to defeat their enemies. They can deal powerful melee attacks using their fists alone but lack the defensive capabilities of a warrior.

Priest - Priests in Wind Slayer are the traditional ‘healer’ archetype. They are supportive characters that can be valuable assets to any group.

Windslayer a side-scrolling game

2011-10-24T00:42:00.000-07:00

When I first found out that Wind Slayer got licensed by Ignited games I was pretty excited. I don’t know what it is, but I’m a huge fan of Ignited games MMORPG portal. Maybe it’s just their website’s design that attracts me, but for whatever reason I feel as if they’ve done a great job keeping their MMORPGs up to date and hack free. One thing I’d like to point out about Wind Slayer before I begin talking about the game’s specific features is that the game is NOT a Maplestory clone! With the almost sudden growth of the side scrolling MMORPG genre it’s not surprising that newer games will borrow features from older ones.

Wind Slayer is a genuinely fun
Wind Slayer is a fast paced 2D side scrolling fantasy MMORPG. The game borrows a lot of features from other popular scrolling games like Maplestory and LaTale but it has quite a bit of its own innovations. Perhaps the game’s strongest point is that from the moment I created my character to the moment I logged off for the day I was having fun. The game has a comprehensive crafting system, plenty of quests and a fun ‘hack and slash’ style combat system that feels unique. Another aspect of Wind Slayer that distinguishes it from the other side scrolling MMORPGs on the market is its impressive list of starting classes and job advancements. Like many other games, players start their adventure in the world of Wind Slayer as a classless ‘novice’ and have to select their first class only after the first few levels of the game. In Wind Slayer players can advance to one of six starting classes at level 10 by visiting the Ozi Temple. The fact that Wind Slayer has six starting classes is pretty impressive considering a lot of newer games only have three or four. One of my only complaints with the game now is that the controls can feel clumsy at times and combat isn’t as fluid as it should be.

PvP Arenas in a side-scroller? Awesome!
The single most attractive aspect of Wind Slayer is the game’s PvP components. It is also what distinguishes Wind Slayer from other side scrolling MMORPGs. The game’s PvP at its current state is limited to small arenas that can support up to 16 players at once. Currently, the only PvP mode released is team deathmatch, but several other modes like ‘free-for-all’ and ‘capture the flag’ are under development. Not only does Wind Slayer have a PvP system, it has a darn good one. Unlike other games where higher level players always dominate PvP, Wind Slayer has a PvP mode called ‘normalized’ which makes every player in the arena the same level to ensure fairness. The game also has the standard arena mode where everyone plays their own character ‘as is’ without any adjustments for fairness, but the fact that the game has multiple PvP modes is quite impressive.

Another interesting facet of Wind Slayer’s PvP is that the game actually rewards players for participating because the game has a special currency called ‘Victy’ which can only be earned through success in PvP. Victy can be exchanged for special items ranging from bonus experience to special clothes. Perhaps the most interesting item that requires ‘Victy’ are ‘job advancement’ scrolls which are needed for job advancements, which means players either have to participate in the game’s PvP to advance to the next class or they have to purchase the scrolls from a player that earned it through PvP.

Big improvements
I first played Wind Slayer when the game entered closed Beta back before the game was being published by Outspark. The game back then was absolutely nothing compared to what it is today because of the countless bug fixes and overall improvements. Simply moving around or attacking felt clumsy and slow. The game still has its drawbacks and faults but the fact is that the game has been improved significantly since its first beta. I urge players that were ‘turned off’ by the game’s glitchy behavior back before Outspark was published the game to give the game another chance. The game’s combat system still feels a bit glitch and movement at times can still become laggy, but the fact is that the game has fixed most if its previous bugs and with a reliable publisher like Outspark, the game will continue to be updated.

Final Thoughts
Wind Slayer’s game world is actually incredibly large, so try not to get lost, especially early on. When I first started playing I wandered away from the newbie zone to try and find more difficult monsters, but I quickly found myself lost and in an area with enemies that I had no chance to killing. I’m not sure why the game developers placed such powerful monsters within a few ‘zones’ away from the newbie area, but the game’s monster placement certainly could use some work. Another small complaint with the game’s world is that although it’s large, it’s nowhere near as large as Maplestory’s, but I’m confident Outspark will continue to release updates that will expand the game. To top off the game’s impressive list of features is its solid user interface, which I consider one of the more important aspects of a game, because a poorly designed ugly interface can easily ruin an otherwise great game. Think about it, the thing players look at most and interact with most is the game’s interface!

Final Verdict – Good
If you’re a fan of side scrolling MMORPGs, Wind Slayer is certainly worth the download. It has a solid PvP system and a large selection of playable classes and job advancements. The only real drawback to the game right now is that combat is a bit glitchy and the game doesn’t have nearly as many features as other side scrolling MMORPGs.

Final Fantasy XIV: Sad News...

2010-12-16T23:09:00.000-08:00

Due to continuous decrease of players, Square Enix (Company owner of FF XIV) decided to extend their trial period definitely. At the same time the release of the PS3 version of the game will be delayed.

Major reconstruction of FF XIV team and leadership has been made to ensure improvements of the game. It is sad news indeed that this epic game is not doing well for I’m a huge of the Final Fantasy, but still there are still people waiting for changes and are continuing to play the game.

I want to point out one problem that I encounter with this game and that is I have to make some major upgrade to my PC just to run the game smoothly. Achieving their minimum requirement maybe hard on other people and may hinder them to play the game.

UWO Newbie Guide

2010-12-04T00:37:00.001-08:00

Lesson One: Choosing a class/job

            InUncharted Waters Online (UWO) you choose your class at character creation;however, the choice is far from permanent. That does not mean you should notput at least a little thought into your character.

            The mostbasic classes, the ones that you start in are the “Learner” classes. These areextremely basic classes that most people will want to leave with all due haste.The classes and their starting skills are:

Adventure Learner: Sail Handling, Surveying, Search

Trade Learner: Accounts, Storage, Escape

Military Learner: Swordplay, Gunnery, Repair

            Each ofthese sets of skills are nicely suited for each of these playstyles. If youthink you will enjoy sailing around the world, searching for artifacts and lostcivilizations, go Adventurer Learner. If you wish to dominate in the economy,and amass fortunes, Trade Learner is usually the place to start. If you preferto just shoot other ships, until they die, nothing wrong at all with goingmilitary learner.

            If indoubt, I say you should choose adventure learner, because the skills it comeswith are some of the nicest skills to have when getting used to traveling inUWO. They are not mandatory, but they sure feel great.

Lesson Two: Choosinga Nationality for Traders

            Technicallyyou make this choice first while making your character, however this is purelygoing to be from a min/max point of view, if this is not your cup of tea, thenskip right past this section and choose the nation you prefer the most.

            Also, as ofright now, this is going to be based purely on function of trading, so moreadventure interested and battle-ready players may wish to skip right past thissection.

            Thelocation of your capital, territories, and placement on the world map givenmany variations in which countries are good for what. I am going to layout somevery basic themes here. Here I’ll make comments based on the “crafting” typesof skills and how different towns can affect them.

Cooking: A pretty self explanatory skill, most nations haveready access to different methods and items that excel for cooks, however theonly one with a nice early game advantage would be Portugal, due to its ready accessto pigs, which can be flipped quite readily for a tidy profit right out of thegate.

Suggested Nation: Portugal (though any can do thisquite well)

Suggested Supporting Skills: Livestock Trading, FoodTrading, Storage

Also Helpful: Handicrafts

Sewing: Sewing, the art of making sails and clothing, is apretty odd craft, early game sewing, is dominated by Venice right now due tothe plucking route very close to their capital, although this is a very niceroute, and very profitable in all ways, the Dutch will definitely get my nodfor currently the best access to supplies at all levels, from right out thegate straight to India.

Suggested Nation: Netherlands(Venice and England also can do very well)

Suggested Supporting Skills: Textile Trading, FabricTrading, Dye Trading, Livestock Trading

Also Helpful: None, the above skills are really all you’llneed to excel at sewing.

Casting: Casting is a Northern Europe dominated profession,Hamburg, a town constantly being fought over by England and Netherlands ishands down THE town for Casters for cannon making as well as leveling. Castingcan earn very nice experience while leveling, and very good profits. It sadlycan NOT earn fame at a decent rate while leveling.

Suggested Nation: England/Netherlands (nobody else canreally compete)

Suggested Supporting Skills: Mineral Trading, Wares Trading,Handicrafts

Also Helpful: Metal Trading, Firearms Trading, WeaponsTrading, Sundries Trading, and Collections

Storage: Storage is a great skill, the main benefit ofstorage is not usually considered its crafting, and one with no clear winnernationality wise at all. Storage is exceedingly useful in prolonging thelifespan of items in multiple ways.

Suggested nation: Any

Suggested Supporting Skills: Fishing, Food Trading, Cooking

Also Helpful: Livestock Trading. Procurement, Collections

Handicrafts: Handicrafts is the ultimate “support” craft, asit synergizes well with all the other types, of crafting skills, it is also THEskill for alcohol crafting and makes the majority of the utility items we allknow and love. Due to its advantages with Wine, I am going to have to give Handicraftsto the French.

Suggested Nation: France (all can exceed quite well)

Suggested Supporting Skills: Food Trading, Alcohol Trading,Wares Trading

Also Helpful: Procurement, Collections

Lesson Three: Schoolis your friend

            The mostimportant thing for all new players is this: Finish School.I suggest that every person should finish all beginner courses as well as theintermediate courses for all three types of characters.

            It can beboring, especially if you’re like me and like to play multiple characters, asit becomes a little dull clicking through everything at times, but the payoutis worth it. As a player new to the game, the experience and fame rewards arefar and wide worth it. In addition you end up with a nice selection of jobchange cards, which will not a finite resource, are always nice to have.

            Advancedschool is something I also think everyone should complete eventually, as itreally does help prepare you for the life of that type of character. It alsohelps you to make friends by encouraging you to team with others.

Lesson Four: Setreasonable goals

            The largestenemies to the players in a game like UWO will be burn-out and beingoverwhelmed. Take baby steps, aim for one or two skill ups or levels a night.Don’t try and do everything at once.

            Some goodstarting goals:

            Finish acourse of school

            Discoverall ports in your area (Great Fame for Adventurers)

            Get a newship

            Invest in atown to unlock access to books (Great Fame for Merchants)

            Start afleet with friends, almost universally useful

            Fight somerandom enemy pirates (Great fame for Battle Types)

            Aim forlevel 20, so you can attain your first Aide

            Advance your national storyline.

            HAVE FUN!

Lesson Five:Questing, Reporting, and Discoveries.

            Completingquests can rapidly accelerate your leveling and fame gaining when donecorrectly. One of the most favored ways of completing quests is to take a questthat sends you someplace, then take another quest that sends you back again.This is a great tactic! However, something few people realize is that allquests except the ones from school can be turned in at many waitresses aroundthe world, especially in most larger cities. The waitress will need to like youfor harder quests to be turned in. Easiest way to increase a waitressesrelationship is to give her gifts. It may seem silly at first buying an 8,000Ducat item just to give to a waitress, but if it lets you turn in a quest worth50,000 and then obtain a quest heading back that same direction, its money wellspent.

            Discoveries:Adventures live and die getting discoveries, each type of discovery has a fewdifferent specific people who will give you much better rewards for that type.For Example, The Duchess in Genoa, and John Deeis London bothgive great rewards AND they give you a Quest Mediation Permit whenever you turnin a Port Discovery.

Well that’s it for now, if people find this helpful I willadd more to this.

My Trade Runs (Food/Livestock) by major_pain

2010-11-12T01:45:00.000-08:00

Well after stumbling around for a month and going thru the whole trade school. i decided to take a path and start grinding skill and ducats.

i choose food dealer to start. and i have to say starting from london, and exploring as far as dublin and copenhagen i was making little to no profit as i was spending as much on provisions and vigor etc as i was making in profits.

i also was making a few mistakes on buying a few high priced items hoping to turn a huge profit, and ended up carrying them around for weeks in game time looking for the port i would take the red colored loss price least painful lol.

then i recalled the special combos and i was getting into the cooking part a bit. i decided to make it or break it. i started doing merchant guild missions. any i could not just big ones. i got a lot of fame. and a nice base of gold to go for my big break.

off i sailed from london full of goods. i stopped at just about every port on my way to genoa for some book i needed.   by the time i got to genoa i had made almost a million in profit and i still had a ship load of goods.   i then went and found out what each ports special goods were. and i sailed back to london town.

this time skipping ports with no special goods no foods like ham or sausages etc. i hit seville and was talking to someone and i asked why can i only purchase 20 chickens but i can purchase 50 poultery's? and i was asked if i had food trading and animal trading skills..i said only food.   it was highly suggested i get animal trading to. and let me tell you animal and food and seasoning trade skills in my slots....and my profits are starting to bloom. i have my next ship already built and it was paid for with the profits from my genoa / seville / london run. after grabbing all the special goods in the ports and only stocking water enuf to get port to port and fishing for food... lol i am loving this game. every time i log on now i am sure to profit at least 250k just sailing locally. if i really grind and make a london to athens mega uber grind run. i am sure to make 1 million each way, as i process animals and trades large amounts of food port to port i level my skills of cooking to level 5 from level 2 in one round trip. i also am a few xp points from getting into the bigger ship i bought from my first london genoa run.

and all this is possible from finishing the trade school and using the knowledge. add some wikia and JP wiki pages to find what port sells what......and im on my way to riches and fame...

so if you have a favored trade run that makes you yoru pocket money and it is doable by someone fresh out of trade school....

please share and discuss....

i also try to pick up guild missions on my long runs or i turn multi star missions into mini special and animal trade runs as time allows for the missions.
if the missions are along the way or i may have the goods on me already and can sail backwards 2 or 3 towns for a quick 15k reward. using the bar maids to turn missions in is BRILLIANT!

im not bragging on mega awesome profits here, im not saying youll get rich quick here either. rich youll get no matter what trade you do. butter from london in a nub tub to dover and back will get you rich....in 34 years....lol

for a casual player exploring the beggining of the food / livestock trade. or for people out of london wondering what course to set....

or because i just felt like sharing my personal and profitable sail routes, im sure with my new ship ill go farther and find new and exotic ports and goods to add to my runs, but for a trader level 10 and fresh out of school and not using the guides and making my own way in the game.....

i found out that i am learning new things and shor cuts and finding great player deals in the hundreds of stalls i see along my voyages.
and i always try to bring back to london town some neat items from shopkeepers and craftsmen and sculptors and painters i run across in me trips.

and as anyone reading this who has purchased from me, i charge prices others think is crazy. for example i sell my PO's 25k, 35 k 45k 50k lvl 1,2,3,4 respectively.

i sell those pretty sail crests at 1500 to 2500 over cost. NOT 200k for a 5k crest.    i sell figureheads same way 1 to 2 maybe 3 k over cost if its a new one i havent seen in english north.       shoes, gloves, items players sell cheap,   violins and skill books.   cooking books mostly, if it cost 8k to purchase i charge 10k in london stall.   10k to purchase and a loooong ways from london 15k    why you ask , i can get twice as much you say !!!!      yes i could and i could also sit there for 3 days real time waiting for someone rich enough to afford those prices from asian economy. this is global world server with a new econ i prefer to sell low and i sell fast. all i gotta do is dress up and play music and say a few things and prices in open chat and maybe hour later im sold out and have tells asking for more. as i didnt ever think of using a alternate pc to run a sales storage mule toon.....   i would rather sell low make a profit and go back to training skills then sit and wait for large profits. i can make the trade run and sell again in less time then sitting waiting for HUGE RICH player to buy all my stoopidly overpriced stuff. and i mean   stuff that costs 1k at shopkeeper people try to sell for 150k in front of the trader. thats just stopid. i seen stalls mimic the shopkeeper sitting next to shopkeeper......prices 10 x of shopkeeper. sewing kits cost 2k they sell 20k or more wth is up with that?

lol so anyways if you bothered to read anything i posted....maybe something chimes with you. like only stocking water and converting fish to food with fishing/storage convert to supplies option. saves money, trains 2 skills low vigor output.....    things like that. sure you can be a feather plucker....and you can be rich and buy everything you are supposed to find and you can uber level in a company with high level mates..... but if you are a true purist r a older rpg player who enjoys playing this solo or with a few friends or family members for fun and casual social enjoyment, then you enjoy playing like i do, with no pressure and no worries about the kiddie playground company politics, then have heart you CAN make a GOOD solid CONTINUOUS PROFIT,
just sailing around your local area using a minimum of skills and time.   repeat good, continuous and profit, not top of the investor and ingame richest guy/gal listings. but you can using any trade skill set be it food yarn crafter, make plenty of monies to keep your ship afloat and bank enuf to replace it when its too full of holes to stay afloat.

if you are that comp type player then you didnt need to read this... but if youre like me and just could care less what anyone else is doing save those pesky goldspammers, then please i would love to trade little tips and other things i can add on to my list of things to do on my trade runs to make more money.

like missions and trading special goods, ill even go back to a town i passed make room buy good and bring back and make a few extra ducats just because some bartender mentioned that good sells well somewhere ;) but i always make sure i keep going forward skip no profit non profitable goods skimp on food and feed em fish, those types of things to make maximum use of my casual time....

Uncharted Waters Online: Language Guide

2010-11-01T18:38:00.000-07:00

Uncharted Waters Online is an online game wherein you play in the Age of Discovery/Exploration period of Planet Earth (15th to 17th Century), where you are one of the Captain on voyage trying to open new trade routes, discover new exciting places, and the mapping of the planet. Of course, before you can have a conversation and establish a good trade with the peoples of the world, you need to learn their languages.
Learning a new language is simple, just visit any city and talk to the lords and ladies of any ‘houses’. As a clue, the names of these houses end up with the word ‘Estate’. Additionally, guild houses (Adventurer Guild, Maritime Guild, and Merchant/Trader Guild) also offer languages.

Follow up:

Below you will find a tabular list of the languages available per city and the establishment where you can learn it. A word of caution, languages count as one (1) skill. You will need to forget a skill if you already maxed out your allotted number of skills that you can learn.

UWO Halloween event Walkthrough

2010-10-29T02:03:00.000-07:00

This event is so very tricky that i have to use my 2nd character for perfecting this walk through. In every major city you can find the NPC (Baker) who will bake for the cookies that you will need along the event later on.

Together with him, you will notice a group of children formed in a circle near the fountain or in the city's square area

Talk first to the Baker, keep talking to him until he says he wants to know what game the children will be playing.

Then, approach Willem and talk to him after that talk to Johan (Your enemy). After each dialogue of Johan talk to other kids then talk to him again. wait for him to tell you that the baker is already finished on the cookies.

Talk to the baker until he gives you a random number of cookies. It can be 60 pcs, 59 pcs, or 58 pcs.

I guess you already know the rules of Johan's mind game. To refresh, you will need to give cookies to any of the children around the circle. There are 8 kids. They will be getting a minimum of 1 cookie up to 3 cookies depending on what they want. Its automatic so you cannot decide. After that, you will give cookies to Johan he will also decide how many cookies he wants.

Example:

Kid A -> Johan -> Kid B -> Johan

You can do repetition in giving cookies to any kid.

The goal is to give or force Johan to take the last piece of cookie that you have in order to obtain the Event reward.

In my experience, Luck is not on my side but I can give you some tips. Here they are:

* Carlen only gets 1 cookie

* Michelle only gets 2 cookies

* Pieter only gets 3 cookies

Note: These 3 kids are your weapon in fighting Johan.

* When Johan force you down to 5 cookies you will lose. Base on my experience.

TIPS:

Your goal is to be the first to get the 49 cookie mark. Meaning you should have 49 cookies before talking to Johan again. Like so:

I got 59 cookies from the baker. I talked to Michelle who took 2 cookies. Now, I have 57.

Johan will get 3 cookies making it 54. Now, talk to Carlen, she will take 1 cookie to make 53.

Johan will take again 3 to make it 50. Now, this is the part I was talking about to make it to 49 cookies. Talk to Carlen to do so.

From here you have now the advantage. I assume you already notice the total of 4 cookies when Johan is winning. Now, use it to win his game. When Johan takes 3 talk to the kid that will take 1, When he takes 2 talk to the kid that will take 2, and When he takes 1 talk to the kid that will take 3 be careful though do not use the same kid as before. Do this and you will win the reward.

Extra Note:

As I was saying above about the "Do not use the same kid as before". Here they are, use them alternately in order to win.

Johan - Enemy

Sylvia - Trickster
Carl - Trickster

Alberto - 3
Pieter - 3

Michelle - 2
Willem - 2

Anne - 1
Carlen - 1

Why I label Sylvia and Carl as "Trickster"? because you do not need them and they might lead you in losing the game because they are randomly getting cookies from you which will ruin your calculation.

I am not 100% sure about this one since I'm not sure if the admins will manipulate the system (LoL) but I hope it will help a lot.

The event will end on November 3, 2010. Source

Uncharted Waters Online: TIPS AND TRICKS

Adventure Class Quick EXP/Fame Guide by Starcrossed

Just want to say Thank You to Starcrossed who created this guide. This is a very helpful and effective guide for Adventurers.

How to gain quick experience and fame as a beginning Adventurer:

This can be done solo but has better results in a group as you get nearly twice the fame if you all turn in the quests at once.

Step One - Getting to Athens:
Prerequisites:

Quests/Jobs:

All three Intermediate schools complete so that you have the three Adventure job permits
500 adventure fame, which you should get from the schools.

Helmsperson for skills.

Skills:

Recognition

Geography

Spanish

Portuguese

Once you have the prerequisites, you will need to take a trip to Seville so you can begin what many of us call the 588-91. This refers to the quest rewards that the quests give, 58,800 ducats and 9,100 ducats respectively. You will need to go to the Adventure’s guild and speak to the Mediator to begin one of these quests.

588 - The Middle of the Atlantic
This quest gives a reward of 58,800 ducats. All it requires is sailing west from Seville until you find an island chain that consists of three small islands known as the Azores. Once you are amongst them, you use recognition to ‘discover’ the islands. You then return to Seville and turn the quest in, netting a few hundred exp and fame as well as 58,800 Ducats.

91 - The Tip of the Iberian Peninsula

Because you cannot repeat a quest, you need a filler quest after you do 588. This quest is normally a quest to Faro for 9,100 ducats known as the Tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It is quick and will allow you to start 588 again quickly. However, if this quest is not available any quick quest to Malaga or Lisbon also works to speed up the process. You will need to do this until you reach 2,000 adventure fame.

Step Two - Raising Archeology

Prerequisites:

Quests/Jobs:

Excavator

Skills:

Archeology

Unlock

For step three, level 4 Archeology is required. The quickest way to do this is to head to Genoa. In Genoa there is a level 1 geography quest that takes you to Naples to speak to the scholar and then find an item in the Naples melee combat zone. Once that is done, you can turn the quest in at the Tavern and pick up an Archeology quest that sends you back to Genoa to speak to the Scholar there. This quest sends you back to Naples to dig another item. You will need to repeat this process till you have level 4 Archeology.

To maximize this process, you should be in a group. Pick a person to go first to discover the item. Everyone else stands back far enough that they cannot discover the item yet. This person with get between 20-40 proficiency. You then allow a second person to come dig while the original person stays in place. The second person and the first person obtain 20-40 proficiency, allowing the first to now collect 40-80 proficiency in one trip. You do this until everyone has discovered, then next time allow someone else in the group to go first. Take turns, work together.

An alternate way to do this step is to reach level 2 Archeology, then repeat the Archeology school quest to Tunis repeatedly in a group until you reach level four. This, however, requires you almost be finished with Advanced Adventure school.

Step 3 - Arriving in Athens:

Prerequisites:

Quests/Jobs:

2,000 Fame

Skills:

Arabic - Can learn in Genoa Merchant GM

Greek - Can learn in Naples Merchant GM

Treasure Appraisal - Can learn in Lisbon Adventure GM

Unlock - Should have learned when switching to Excavator

This is the final step in fame farming for beginners. With this quest line, in a group, you can easily obtain 10,000-15,000 fame in just a few days of constant, determined farming. Possibly even 500-1000 an hour if you do it right.

You will need to go to Athens. In Athens you will need to pick up the quest the Sultans. This quest will send you to Beirut where you must speak to the Scholar. The Scholar will send you into the Alexandria wilds to discover something. Turn this quest in at the Alexandria Tavern and pick up Mourning a Greek Tragedy quest which takes you back to Athens to speak to the Scholar and discover something in the Athens wilds. You can run these two quests repeatedly and make possibly 100,000 ducats every 30-60 minutes while gaining massive fame and experience.

Edit: Sultans requires Appraisal level 4, Unlock level 2. If you do not want to level that you can alternately get Town Dedicated to Love from Athens to Famagusta.

Things to note:

Any nation can do this.

Quests that send you to a scholar normally require you to read a book.

This method may not be for everyone as they may get bored repeating the quest lines.

Enjoy!

Easy Ducat Earnings

This is not my own guide. I just modified and elaborate more of it to fully understand how to execute this guide and also it is updated to the *********’s Uncharted Waters Online. I give my thanks to the original uploader of this guide which is what I find very helpful.

Note: This is only for Traders that choose The Netherlands as their country.

“This simple guide is to help new Netherlands players make some easy ducats (In game Currency) at the start, and will not work as well for players from other countries. You have to start as a trade learner to utilize this guide.

Step 1.
For new players, please take some time and talk to all the HELPERS in the city before you start your school tutorial. They can give you some usable items. The order is as follows:
School--Market--item Shop--Craft store--Tavern--Bank (you'll receive 10k here)--Company Admin Office --Governor's Mansion--Mercator Estate—Shipyard (When you speak to the helper he will tell you to go to the Library, He is talking about the) –Archives (When you speak to the helper in the archives he will say to go to the Archives maybe a bug but proceed to)--Port (Harbour)

Step 2.
After you finished all the talking, Go the Merchant Guild and look for the task which requires you to deliver 4 barrels of ham to Den Helder. You can buy the Ham in the Market of Amsterdam. You can get one Merchant's guild card when report back.

Step 3.
Go back to your Merchant School to get another Merchant's guild card by finishing the School Quest or get graduated. Or you can find another trade learner to share the 4 barrels of ham quest, so you can do it again and get another guild card.

Step 4.
Go to your Merchant Guild Master and Use 1 Merchants guild card to become an Animal trader and learn the skills: Livestock Trading, Food Trading and Caution. Trade between Amsterdam and Den Helder until you have livestock and food trading reach lv2. Trade only livestock (Sheep and Chicken) and food (Ham, Poultry, etc) from both towns also check the prices to which is more favorable or highest profit to get. After that...

Step 5.
Use another merchant’s guild card to become a Yarn trader and learn the skills: Textile trading and Sewing. Buy a recipe book named Fabric secrets--Hardware at Item shop.

Step 6.
Go to Den Helder and buy all the chicken and sheep. Use your Sewing skill to turn them into feather and wool then go back to Amsterdam to sell them. Keep trading and sewing between Amsterdam and Den Helder until you reach sewing lv2.

Step 7.
Go to Groningen and buy a recipe book named Shipwright basic--Sewing book from the craft shop then go back to Amsterdam.

Step 8.
Buy all the Hemp Fabric and turn them into Spare sail by using your new sewing book. The spare sail costs 2 Hemp Fabric and 5 Vigour to make. The Pedlar will buy it for 1606D in Amsterdam and 1900D in London. The downside of selling Spare sail is that you will not get trade exp from it. However, while sewing the spare sail and you get a “great success” which consist of 2 spare sails you will gain trade experience from it.

Step 9.
Keep trading fabric and sewing until you are satisfied with your earnings.”

Extra Tip:
- Buy a Transport Small Caravel asap.
*Transport Small Caravel needs Adventure Level 2 and Trade Level 4 that costs 92,000 Ducats. It has a hold capacity of 126.

- Fabric is going to be the main source of your profit. If the profit is not good enough, you can go to Calais and sell them there. Gin, Dutch Calico and Feather are considered special goods in Calais which means you will get double Exp. And when in Calais get the Dried Apples which is considered special goods in Amsterdam.

Uncharted Waters Online has been a vintage game for a long long time started in Super Nintendo then into a MMO. UWO (For short) is not your actual typical hack and slash MMO but rather a different and unique experience when it comes to gameplay. You set out in a world back in 15th century era where exploration, discoveries, and wealth what motivates the people in those age.

Graphics:
The graphics are a bit out dated since the game is already been released locally in Taiwan, korea, japan, etc. but only now it has been released in English and it is available to every player globally. But IMMO the real beauty of its graphics lies on the varieties of places to go. From the great palace of England to the mysterious stone heads of eastern island (Chile). These historic places that only lets you experience in books or images in the internet can now be visited in the virtual world of UWO. Towns are also different depending on the architectural culture of its time.

The variety of outfits, weapons, and ships are all based on the fashion of the 15th century era from western to eastern making it more realistic. Character creation is somewhat limited but you can still have your own unique avatar.

The most appreciated of all is the open sea and the sky because of its vastness and it really makes you wonder how big is the world is.

Sounds:
IMMHO the BG sound is a sleeping pill for me but not annoying, as you travel alone in the open sea and hearing this calm music in your ears made my eyes drowsy.

Storyline:
Each country has its own lead character and story to show. You will be doing quest for them and you will be a part of it. Short cut scenes, large character face images, and the conversation reminds of RPGames in consoles. There are other quests as well (I mentioned this in my earlier blog entries) that involves renowned historic figures such as Da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Marco Polo, and others. Following the main story will let you unlock some of the areas that are important in the game.

Newbie System: (Any system that involves new players)
The helper in town and the Maritime Academy is huge help for me to understand the game better. But the downside is that it is too long to finish each level of academy however it still worth it.

Battle:
There is a land battle where your character set out on foot in the land and encounters enemy during his/her travel. I have little experience in Land Battle but skill animations are good and strategy plays a big part like in the ship battles. Ship Battles are somewhat normal and it is not exaggerated like other MMOs. The animations are simple and fit perfectly to the game overall outlook. For a change, your fingers will not be stressed and all tangled up by just clicking or pressing different skills, items, etc… Relatively easy but winning battles can sometimes be hard retreating a battle is a smart move and not a cowardly act in this game.

Grinding:
The grinding part of this game is gaining fame points (Fame points are like experience to level your job **** and the travelling. During the CBT that I recently experienced, lots of players (maybe veterans) have advanced quickly in only a span of 2 weeks. So I think player's progression is easy as long as you understand how the game works. Another grinding part for me is reading all the information and understanding how it ticks (LOL).

Game Play:
Basic movements like walking in town is easy because of their auto move by just clicking a location in the mini map but this is only available when you are in a town not in the sea. Sailing is easy but navigating and gaining access to different ports is hard. Navigating is hard because obviously your world map IS THE WHOLE WORLD! That is only the half of it, you still have the land to explore to!

Again, reading the quest is a must or you will get lost there are no "addons" like quest helper in WoW in this game. I even downloaded google earth just to know where to go to haha. There are also conditions that your outfit should be good to talk to a noble npc just to get a quest.

Crafting and profession is vast and there are tons of items, equipments, materials, parts, etc to acquire from (including work of arts). But thankfully there is the bank to store this and your own home. Speaking of bank, storage system is different. Storing money and leave it for a long time will gain interest and will be added to your total amount.

Another favorite part is having your own space in the game, either a dorm room, farm, to an island.In short there are many things to do in the game.

Pros:
Lots of things to do in the game.
Recommended for those players that wants a change of pace besides action games.
Educational.
Graphics are simply and unique on its own.
Newbie System.

Cons:
BGM is so relaxing that you can go to sleep.
Due to the games vastness, players can get lost.
Lots of reading may tend new players to quit the game early.
Finding certain area in the sea is hard.
Finding items needed for your profession or crafting is quite difficult.

Pirate Jokes

2010-09-10T20:04:00.000-07:00

Pirate's battle transformation

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"

"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."

The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."

"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."

"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."

"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."

"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."

"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."

"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird shit!"

"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."

A Pirate's Courage

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!". The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.
Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!". The battle was on, and once again the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties occurred.

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?". The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid". The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man.
As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to their Captain for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!!

Top 10 things at the dinner table
Top 10 things overheard at the dinner table that show your child is quickly becoming a pirate

(10) "You can flog me, but I'm not eating creamed spinach."
(9) "I've buried me treasure in the mashed potatoes."
(8) "I'll need another ration of grog if you expect me to eat these peas."
(7) "Your tuna noodle casserole would be perfect to fill cracks in the deck."
(6) "This chicken tastes like the parrot I was forced to eat after being marooned on an island for 30 days."
(5) "I wouldn't serve brussel sprouts to even the prisoners in the brig."
(4) "If I eat all my food, can I plunder the neighbors before I go to bed?"
(3) "This burger is fatty enough to grease a mast."
(2) "Too many vegetables - too little shark."
(1) "What did they do with the last cook's body after he was hung from the yardarm?"

Pirate Job
A new guy shows up for a job on a pirate ship. He walks into the galley, where all the pirates are eating beans. "I'm here for a job," he said. The pirate captain looks at him, sort of leans over and lets out a long, low, juicy fart. All the pirates start farting, low and long. Soon, the place reeks. The man, wanting to show that he's tough enough to be a pirate tries to fart but only manages a "Squeeeek, poot..."

It all gets quiet on the pirate ship, and the captain stands up, waiving his hook in the air and says: "I get the virgin!"

What does a pirate look like?

2010-09-01T16:08:00.000-07:00

Pirates, those who lived in ships and aboarded on sea, like a mafia in sea beds and terrorist..LOL

How should you dress if you want to represent a pirate? Those description are just an enigma of people who have an idea on how to dress up like a pirate..

There are a few eyewitness accounts. From that, the average pirate dressed like an average sailor. That means either long pants or slops and a short jacket.

The problem is that, if you dress like an 18th century sailor, most people are not going to know that you are portraying a pirate.

There are some things that you can do to liven up an impression. Sailors in general and pirates specifically would have access to some exotic accessories and some affected an unusual appearance.

Gold earings and a silk skarf or bandanna can certainly be justified.

Captains dressed better than crewmen, often dressing like a navy officer. They were more likely to add extra touches. Blackbeard is the ultimate example with a long, bushy black beard that he tied up with ribbons.

Pirates fought more often than regular sailors, probably more often than seamen in the navy. They walked around heavily armed. There are several descriptions of pirates wearing a sash with a brace (pair) of pistols tucked in it. They often wore a sword on a baldric.

Pirates often went into battle with a badric holding up to six holstered pistols. This was important in hand-to-hand combat. It takes several seconds and both hands to load a pistol and you only get one shot (or none if the powder is wet). The only way to get multiple shots was to carry multiple pistols.

I'm not sure about justification for bucket topped boots. At sea, pirates tended to go barefoot to avoid slipping. On shore, at port, they might dress up.

The tricorn (a three-cornered hat) was pretty universal from the late 17th century through the early 19th century. It is not something that a pirate would wear at sea - it is too easily knocked off while climbing the rigging or simply blown off, but it is something else that a pirate might wear at port to dress up.

The parrot as an accessory comes from Treasure Island. Long John Silver kept one. They are common in the Caribbean and were in demand elsewhere. Some pirates were known to give parrots as gifts. There is no reason why a pirate could not pick up a parrot as a pet or something to be sold later.

how will you feel loosing all your items and cash ?

2010-08-30T15:41:00.001-07:00

I would like to know if how will you feel loosing all your items and cash while having a battle??
what will you feel and how will you react..

sharing my experience in Uncharted waters online lately
i was sailing on may way to go to the port of Genova where i met a pack of ships which belongs to pirates (well, by that time, i didnt know that the ship belongs to them, one the the ship attacked my ship, so as a human instinct being attacked by strangers, youll attack back. and that's what i did, but to my surprise, the other 2 ships prevent me from attacking and they just ransacked my ship. The problem is, the pirates didnt gave me/or leave me a small amount of capital where i can start again my new life. its sad to think that ill be starting to gather items and cash to recover from my failure.

oh guys share your experiences with connection with this subject..

thank you for reading..

UWO vs. Other same genre games

2010-08-28T18:09:00.000-07:00

well first of all, i would like to remind all of the readers that this article is not about UWO is better than others etc etc, i made this thread to see the competence level of Uncharted waters online among the games out in the market with the same game genre. I am not bias on my reviews, in fact i used to create a game review on the most of the game that i tried. After wards, its up to me if i decided to continue the game or not.

First and foremost, before starting the comparison part i would like to first introduce all of you on the game where i am in now, Uncharted Waters Online is a SNES game or a console game on SNES, its a strategic, adventure type of game where you go for some discoveries with your character. Its time frame is based on 17th - 18th century, the characters and background and even its music is based on that time.

As a PC game, i might say that Uncharted waters online can be a competitive game on his genre and even can stand out on other game, though its an old game as you see, the game has a decent graphics. I have seen various of game with the same genre, some are only themed as a pirate games like ********* (put name of game) that is just a pure grinding and monster killings, UWO give a much different environment where you can be like a adventurer in real life, you can battle with ship at sea and battle with pirate at land..

ill just cut the comparison here, and i just wanted you to try the game to see it yourself

bye for now ^^

Uncharted Waters Online: My CBT Experience

2010-08-25T15:36:00.000-07:00

Uncharted Waters Online: My CBT Experience

Recently netmarble releases a new and much awaited game, Uncharted Waters Online. I was so excited about this CBT moment. Since i already played the game before on SNES. Uncharted waters online came from the popular game on SNES which has the same game title.

First impression about he game having a decent graphics, actually i thougt the whole game will be come same graphics as what other games with the same genre have. Character selection is kinda funny because of the display characters you will choose from, why is it funny? try to change your characters hair, color, etc and you will notice all of the crew looks like your character.

UI is somehow hard to understand and hard to find, all thoughout the game in finding my quest i always have to pass all the buttons above. Quest is easy to understand but there are some instance that the description on the quest tab is confusing.

Actually im excited how the battle on sea would be, navigating the ship is kinda hard for newbie. First time sailing is hard, you have to loosen your sail to let your ship run..and changing directions is hard really.

another thing, allan is kinda annoying.. He lets me walk ALWAYS! then i found out than Allan is also on another country.. T_T

Total Verdict:
Totally the game is awesome, graphics is decent and quest is good, but there are somw flaws at first but you get used to it later on..

Uncharted Waters Online CBT tomorrow!!!

2010-08-23T23:40:00.000-07:00

First Impression on Tales of Pirates

2010-08-20T23:52:00.001-07:00

First Impression on Tales of Pirates

It’s quite impressing for a game to have a 2 diversities of gameplay from land battle to sea battle, its quite closely similar to a pirate game but a little bit of twist of a cartoonist pirates. From the tittle itself I thought it was an adult pirate game

From the start of the game when I played the game only have 1 server to choose from, classes is gender locked together with its job. Starting a character is quite impressive after choosing class you can choose what town yo can start in, you can choose from those 3 I just forgot the name of it, not just like the other game where you will be trashed on the town where you actually don’t like

User interface is quite impressive, combat is very easy for a newbie and fast experience rate but 1 thing I notice some of the translations are translated poorly

Over all: I like the concept of the game but from the tales of pirates 1, tales of pirates 2 must be totally renovated.. Its quite disappointing coz the whole tales of pirates 2 is like an expansion of tales of pirate 1, they only upgraded the graphics actually, all things are the same

In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love--or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

Captain Jack Sparrow Comic-Con Announcement (7.23.10):

UPDATE: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Teaser Shown

Source: Silas Lesnick

July 22, 2010

As a surprise for attendees exiting the Tron Legacy panel, Disney showed a special teaser for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, now shooting in Hawaii.

Johnny Depp appeared as Captain Jack Sparrow in full 3D, sitting on the beach with a bottle of rum and speaking directly to the Comic-Con audience. He told everyone that it certainly wasn't the case that he would soon be embarking on a quest to find the fountain of youth but that, even if he were, he wouldn't be looking for a crew. But, if he did, would anyone in the audience be interested?

He promised that such an adventure would include "zombies, cutthroats, mermaids and... Penelope Cruz" and that it would be the kind of quest that would require "A bloody map. Or a bloody Mary. Or both."

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will hit theaters on May 20, 2011.

UPDATE: Check out the teaser below!

UWO What do i Expect?

2010-08-18T19:03:00.000-07:00

I saw the game, the trailer and yes its an interesting game... A quite new diversity of gaming concept where the war doesn't only focus on a man to man battle but with the use of battle ships, tons of missile, cannon and torpedo...Im kinda excited when i saw the game trailer, i wanted to try it ASAP. really!

Twas really exciting! actually, i played a map in Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. the map's name was Battleship..from the concept of UWO, i think it was closely related on this game.

What gives me the excitement most, is how the game runs. From land battle to sea battles, oh well few days to go before the CBT starts. I think ill just quench my excitement by treating it with videos and screenshots of UNCHARTED WATERS!

See you all on CBT!!

10 Things Other MMORPGs Have But Uncharted Waters Online

10 Things Other MMORPGs Have But Uncharted Waters Online

by Uncharted Waters Online on Thursday, August 12, 2010 at 5:23pm

#1 Town Portal

Most of recent MMORPGs stand their “infinite map size” as their one of greatest features. However, developers already acknowledge that this huge map is not preferable to users, play-wise, so this resulted in many Town Portal skills, items, or etc.
Uncharted Waters Online, however, offers players to encounter more realistic view and down-to-earth experience. There is no instant transport from Europe to India; rather UWO requires players a determination to fight against life-threatening journey. Players will be rewarded by each step they make and each sail they set.

#2 Autobots

One of the highly controversy features of MMORPGs is ‘Autobots.’ Games are made for fun and they should be dynamic. However, MMORPG requires some continuous duties similar to our routinized and tedious life, and this might lead players to feel less entertaining about the game. One solution to get away this repetitive monster-hunting is to use Autobots. However, Autobots has a bad reputation because it is known to break an in-game economic system, but some game companies intentionally overlook this, covertly promote this, or even publically sell this as their paid item. Uncharted Waters Online respects a sophisticated economic system, and there is no way to run Autobots. Economic system of UWO is sorely built by players’ activities, at least until now.

#3 Health Point (HP)

Upper left corner of most of MMORPGs is occupied with HP and MP bars. Players only have the control over their single avatar that representing your-self.
However, UWO players operate more dynamic controls over their Ships, Sailors, and Vigour that is similar to the combination of MP and HP. During the sail, a player will act as a captain who has a full control navigating the ocean. This might be confusing at the beginning, but this makes players to adopt a tactical strategy and carry out attention-grabbing game play.

#4 Character Stats

Level up; Gained bonus stats 5 points to allocate; Automatically allocated stats to STR, DEF, DXT, AGL, or etc. These already make you imagine very typical scenes in MMORPGs.

NO STATS in UWO! UWO only have 3 kinds of levels; Adventure, Trade, and Battle. Beside level system, there are lots of skills you can learn and master. Combination of you levels and skills differentiate your character from others. Players often say that playing UWO is all about managing skills. Among hundreds of skills, players need to choose right skills to develop their character, which ultimately express your-self. When Uncharted Waters Online CBT opens, check out the various skills first and see how diversified strategic game-play is waiting ahead of you.

#5 Fields

No Field in Uncharted Waters Online. Unlike other MMORPGs where all the game-plays take place in fields, Uncharted Waters Online bring this onto ocean. The ocean is the unified place for all activities as Exploring, Searching for items, and even confronting NPC. Both PvP and RvR take place on the ocean as well. Therefore, in UWO, SHIP performs a more crucial part than just a mean of transportation comparing to other MMOPRGs where transportation skill is only optional; as horses or wyverns. Your SHIP indicates your wealth, game level, fame, and job-types. You will be amazed by many well-known historic ships you confront while sailing.

Imagine a Gigantic Clipper passing by you while you are desperately sailing in a small Barca against headwind. You might want to shout out, "Master! Can you give me a ride?"

Sex Party in World of Warcraft

2010-08-09T20:02:00.000-07:00

Days ago while browsing the net..i saw an forum topic on world of warcraft, where an angry father posted an entry in World of Warcraft. The poor son’s account was canceled by his father because of this constantly sex event holding on Moon Guard server. regarding the sex party which has happened in Goldshire Inn on Moon Guard of

Below is the entry on World of Warcraft forum:

Not that it will matter, as I'm sure I'll get trolled, but I wanted to drop a line, as I did in the cancellation box, that I cancelled my son's account. He's 15, and I've found him to be very trustworthy. We allow him access to play usually 1-2 hours a night, max, if he chooses.

Tonight, he had some friends over for the night. When It came time to wrap it up, I went into the comp room to find my son and his friends huddled over the monitore, laughing like school boys will.

Apparantly, they had heard about and discovered Goldshire Inn on Moon Guard. I myself had heard of it's reputation, but after scrolling up and reading the chat, I never thought it was as bad as I was reading.

I cannot begin to tell you how displeased I am with the absolute lack of server/ToS follow up regarding this abominable server. Line after line, having absolutely NOTHING to do with RP: sexual emotes, gay bashing, racial comments....I sat there speechless.

And please don't tell me about the ignore button, I am well aware of that feature. The fact that this behavior goes on CONSTANTLY on this server is disgusting, and I will not allow my son to "discover" any more servers such as this.

I understand that this is a T for Teen game. However, as I said, we trust our son, and playing WoW is a reward for his good grades in school. We have all parental features enabled. I took screenshots, but there's no point in sending them because I'm sure they weill be disregarded.

As a paying customer for 6 years now, I just wanted to voice my extreme displeasure regarding this disgusting server. IMO, it should be shut down.

T for Teen is one thing. What goes on in Goldshire on Moon Guard is apalling and beyond offensive.

Both my wife and I are very sorry to punish our son by cancelling his account, as this really wasn't his fault. However, we cannot allow our son access to a game that is not monitored for the very rules you so vehemently say you enforce.

Thank you for your time.

Child Dies because of MMORPG addict parents

2010-08-02T19:51:00.000-07:00

Child Dies because of MMORPG addict parents

South Korea, parents addicted to an mmorpg called PRIUS, raised an online avatar “baby” in the game, which they played up to 12 hours a day.

The couple would leave to play the mmorpg at internet cafes, while their three month old daughter was left at home alone.

Cops say the couple had become obsessed with living online and neglected their real lives.

After a long gaming session, the childs parents , dad Kim Yoo-chul, 41, and mum Choi Mi-sun 25 came home to find their daughter dead. The couple quickly called the cops and thought up of a less then elaborate excuse;

“We found she had passed away when we woke up in the morning.”

The cops became suspicious when they saw the body of the child, the child appeared to be dehydrated; police suspicions where later confirmed when an autopsy on the girl had be done, the cause of death was concluded as such;

“She appears to have starved to death because she was not fed for such a long period of time.”

Cops tried to arrest the parents, but they disappeared after the baby’s funeral.

They caught up with them on Tuesday and they have since been charged with child abuse and neglect.

The parents told cops after their arrest: “Due to our sense of guilt, we have not been to a PC gaming room over these five months.”

It is thought the couple met in 2008 on an internet chat site.

Do you think the punishment is light?

Martial empires GAME REVIEW

2010-07-25T22:16:00.000-07:00

Subject: Martial empires
Genre: Fantasy
Status: Open Beta
Dev: CR-Space
Pub: gamigo
Fee: Free
Area: EU
Asian themed game launched by Gamigo is spectacular game that surely has the quality to compete with other high-end games launched in the market. Martial empire was inspired with an Asian touch in which will be close-to-the-heart by many Asian hardcore gamers.

The main strength of the game comes in package where players will truly enjoy.
***Graphics - having a high end graphics is truly remarkable and from my point of view it can be closely related to the well-known games, graphically wise, it can be compared to Aion, Aika, World of Warcraft and etc.
-Splattering blood coming from the monster while my character is whacking it, makes it superb
-Anger mode/ rage creates adrenalin rush on the player that I truly enjoy while playing
-The sway of grass, plants, trees and characters hair is good
RATE: 9/10

***User Interface – as a starter in the game, as I observed the overall user interface is newbie friendly and user friendly.

***Quests are newbie friendly, from level 1-5 you will be given a very easy quest task with waypoints provided. And I enjoyed the trailer-like system on other quest that shows the story behind a quest.

***Gauges give a quick knowledge for the players on what do their character needs. HP bar, MP bar, EXP bar and other bars are easily seen by the players. Overall interface can truly give an interest upon seeing it.
RATE: 10/10

***Controls - quick access on all the action button/ keys. Like other MMORPG game it was provided on the same action spots where players will be familiar with, except the few buttons placed on other keys, like for example the skill button “V” that on other games “K” is used. And from the stand point of a first time gamer, I always forgot where skill key was placed.
RATE: 8/10

***Maps – Easy access on the world map in which label was placed on the right spots to get the exact location of the NPC or a site. Using “< or ,” key gives another version of the map where you can set it like see-through map and use it in case you need to keep your eye on the map. Though in some point it was confusing but on the other side, it is helpful.
RATE: 9/10

***Others – The new feature makes the whole game unique from others, where the new set of skills in different. I am sure that if maintained well, this game will hit the top spot in gaming industry.
RATE: 9/10

SORE POINT/FLAWS
From the experience on playing the game, from its nature of having a high rated graphics, playing it with high definition gives you a laggy experience whenever you let your character walk or do actions. “It’s a must” for players to upgrade their pc especially the video card if they wanted to play this game in full settings, but on the other side you can still set the options to low in which players with low specs pc will be able to play this game. Setting the graphics to full/ maximum resolution makes you see things unusual like floating name, missing body parts of a character, floating monsters etc etc but that accounts on the player’s pc specs
The action keys have something that I used to forget where some of the right keys are placed as a starter but you’ll get used to the key placing on the latter part.

No pet system
No mounts
Classes are Gender Locked
Only 3 Classes available
game is laggy when settings is set to high
banned ips from US and Asia
always failing to connect
powerleveler ingame spammer

OVERALL ANALYSIS
From the game test that I have made on Martial Empires, I conclude that the game has a potential to be included on the top gaming list of online games out in the market. The uniqueness of the gameplay makes the whole game competitive to survive the growing technology of online gaming, with the combination of a good and high end Graphical emphasis on the models of the game and together with the effects, it creates a potential high rated game to be enjoyed by the hardcore gamers.
Setting makes the game accessible by those who have lower specs as the minimum requires, option is available to be suited on your “not so high” pc specs

TACTICAL INTERVENTION tested

2010-07-22T19:42:00.000-07:00

It looks similar to counter-strike in which is where it is derived. Graphics are smooth and low specs computers will be able to experience the challenge of this game.

Game play is quite exciting for having two additional feature from the traditional counter-strike game, the game have 2 main innovations to offer – a dog and a hostage The hostage who looks and acts exactly like a human and reacts on every danger the dog in which also reacts and sense a danger every time his master is in trouble and also the players can rappel thru walls, and take the fact that snipers can’t use the time for sticking themselves on walls waiting for opponent, the game only last for 2 minutes.

Over all the game is awesome, it is very much more similar to counterstrike. But looking and deciphering all the flaws of the game, you will notice some features that needs enhancement to defeat the boredom of the future players. First, joining a commencing game takes time before you can enter, it loads very slow and as I try to check the average spawn time it takes 15 minutes as the lowest. Another thing is the availability of items is limited, only a few variant of gun models can be chosen. Maps are limited where you can only choose where to start the first battle but in the latter part of the game you will still go on all of the maps. The game lacks option for match time interval and for enabling/disabling the automatic restart and change map in case the player wants to stay on a designated map.

Graphics is awesome I suggest this game should be place on adult game or R18+. The gruesome effect makes the game more realistic, splatting of blood, blood squirts from the opponent’s body and many more. The funny thing on this game is when you shot an opponent on his foot, he will walk on his one foot hopping just like in reality. Sound effect is awesome, I got bothered with the screaming sound that makes you feel like someone is actually being hurt badly.

Top 5 addicting games

2010-07-21T00:36:00.000-07:00

Top 5 addicting games
I have played several games, and I already considered myself as a hardcore gamer. I already tried several of genres, grinding game, casual and many more. And from the feedback I have read over the internet I considered these games as my top 5 addicting games .

World of warcraft

- Who in the earth will not agree on this game as one of the top favorite game of all time? From the graphics, the quest and characters, I might say this is the perfect game when I first saw it.

Runescape

- Although a browser game, many people got so addicted on this game, including me. This is the first browser game where you can roam around the map like playing a mmo. Unlike other browser games, here you can see your character moving and whacking monsters.

Counter Strike

- This game is the reason why I got line of 70 grades on my report card. And that explains it all.

Maple story

- Popular in Korea and over the net, though I haven’t played this game yet. And I still have no plan to play it. Seeing the ranking of the game site gives the meaning of the word popular.

Warcraft (Defense of the ancient) DOTA map

- Most of my friends are playing this game. Its addicting on how/what strategy you will use to defeat your opponent.

Perfect World Game review

2010-07-19T23:51:00.001-07:00

Perfect World Game review

Publisher: Perfect World Entertainment

Playerbase: High

Graphics: High Quality

Type: MMORPG

EXP Rate: Low

PvP: Open PvP / Realm Wars [Guild Vs Guild]

As a hard core gamer, I have a high rating when it comes to the game that I will be playing. When they said online game, I really am looking forward to the graphics, game play, character involvement and many more. A friend referred me to this game, and as an Asian, it caught my attention seeing the characters in the game. The theme looks closely like to an ancient Chinese civilization.

I started creating my character after a tremendous signing/ filling up forms needed to have an accounts. I started to be amazed upon seeing the character customization panel, where undergoing in this will somehow have a unique character. From head to toe, all things are customizable. Make body parts big small, all sizes and colors and even hair styles.. I wanted to create a Chuck Norris look-a-like character but I can’t perfectly create a Norris clone

After the customization, I created a human Wuxia

WuXia

Wuxia's are close combat warriors who are potent with or without weapons. They are swift, agile and quick to attack and evade assailants.

Wuxias as swordsmen weigh themselves on chivalry and the mastery of the different fighting arts through continuous practice and training.

They are balanced both on attacking and defending enemies; plus their knowledge of the uses of different kinds of weapons, superior physical attack prowess and mastery of the fighting arts, brings forth a deadly combination of power and speed that makes the Wuxia a formidable foe to contend with.

While playing the game I actually noticed the awesome graphics of this game, it doesn’t give an eyesore to the first time players. All graphics are well-polished, the grass, falls leaves and trees are more close to reality.

At first I just thought the game has a glitch in character actions, coz I have seen an insanely character jumps from where I am standing going to the roof of a house. And I tried it and for my surprise, my character too is insane…LOL characters have the ability to use dual jump. Pressing space bar twice.

Mount? Well, its also awesome! Actually I got amazed when I finally got the chance to ride a mount. For me it’s a huge flying sword, I saw others using their skill to shape shift into a fox and other character has a build in wings

The server has a very slow experience rate where I spent nearly 1 month just for reaching level 47, though I enjoyed doing their quest. But sometimes questing confuzles me

Pros: +Top-notch graphics, +Innovative character creation, +In-game radio, +Flying mounts, +Plenty of GM Events, +Good music

Cons: -Dull combat, -Uninspiring quests, -Slow-paced game play, -Only six playable classes

AUDITION GAME REVIEW

2010-07-16T23:04:00.000-07:00

Publisher: Redbana
Playerbase: Low
Graphics: Medium Quality
Type: MMO
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: N/A
Filesize: 1.6GB

Audition is basically an online dancing game where you can practice your alertness skills and exercise your fingers, If you’re playing console games before, if my memory serves me right, the concept is more like dance revolution and Busta Groove, where you need to press the right arrow keys to hit the right notes.

If you’re planning to play Audition for the first time, you will be given a character where you can choose its gender and clothes. Only few clothes are available for your starter character, but later on, you can get good clothes by buying it in fashion shop with the use of your ingame cash or points which are also known as BEATS, Cash item is also available and cash clothes are much more than presentable as we expect a cash item would be.

Gameplay is quite complicated, at first, upon entering the game for the first time, you will be redirected on a tutorial play where you will be given instructions on how to play the game, I think it will only last for less than 10 minutes… then after the tutorial you will be on audition town where you can access the dance hall, FAM office, fashion mall, studio and rankings

You will be able to get and play quest depending on what requirements you will be given to be able to finish a certain quest. Audition has many modes to choose from, dancing with couple, solo, as a team or with npc. You can also be able to search for your couple and marry them. And literally bear a wedding ring..

I personally enjoyed playing audition, because of the modes that you can’t even imagine on a dance game, you can play beat up which is more closely related to dance revolution, where you must hit the correct arrow key. 1,2 party mimic the npcs move by choosing the right key they said and much much more game modes to choose from

Community is decent, although in some instance I found some emo players complaining in many things in life

Pros:
+Several compelling game modes.
+Single-player modes available.
+Popular song list.
+Various difficulty options.

Cons:
-Many items cost real money.
-Game modes are all very similar.
-Lack of game mat detracts from the style.

CT Racer GAME REVIEW

2010-07-15T18:19:00.001-07:00

GAME REVIEW

Subject: CT Racer

Developer: Mobil Planet

Genre: 3D MMO Racing

Category: Free MMORPG

Platform: Windows

Gamesite: http://ctr.gamenetworks.com/

When I’m into console gaming before, racing is one of my favorite games to play, but since I got myself introduced to pc games, I always wanted to play grinding MMO games.

Did you get a chance to play NFS (need for speed), and other hi-fi racing game? This game surely is closely related to them, racing to battle, winning races and etc. But there are things that fascinate me in trying this game.

As a starter, they will give you a default car which will be your starter car throughout the game. You can either continue this by buying performance parts like engine, suspension, carburetor and other performance equipments or you can just buy a much faster car by gaining tech points. Tech points or TP can be obtained by winning race battles or you can do quest. In race mode there's either Downhill battle, which is basically just a race, or head for the championship races which require a fee to enter. What amazed me is the quest, where you can either choose to chase race cars as a police or be chased by a police car. Another quest is to have a mission to get as quick as possible to the given location. Gain cash points by joining events or literally buying top up cards from convenient stores.

Car customization gives you more close to reality where you can upgrade or change the looks of your car, from neon lights to decals, custom steering wheel, headlights and etc.

You can also just roam around the town and listen to the build-in mp3 music, you can also engage other players to duel.

Pros:
- Unique MMO Experience
- In-game MP3 player
- Events are hosted often
- Community is welcoming and friendly.

Cons:
- Navigating can be frustrating
- Some things are translated poorly
- Not many people to do the races with.

Tactical Intervention GAME REVIEW

2010-07-14T23:33:00.001-07:00

GAME REVIEW

Subject: Tactical Intervention

Tactical Intervention (2010/ENG/Beta)
English | PC | Developer/Publisher: FIX Games | 3.40 GB
Genre: Action (Shooter) / 3D / 1st Person / MMOFPS Massively Multiplayer online First Person Shooter game

PRO’s

Being developed by one of the original Devs behind Counter-Strike. Great map designs.  From the game graphics players who are addicted on counter-strike will be nostalgic upon seeing this game, it looks similar to counter-strike in which is where it is derived.  

Graphics are smooth and low specs computers will be able to experience the challenge of this game

Gameplay is quite exciting for having two additional feature from the traditional counter-strike game, the game have 2 main innovations to offer – a dog and a hostage who looks like exactly a humans attitude or reaction on every danger and also the players can rapel thru walls, and take the fact the snipers can’t use the time for sticking themselves on walls waiting for opponent, the game only last for 2 minutes. 

CON’s

No firm release date (Expected Release Date is sometime in the Second Half of 2010). -Very similar core gameplay as other tactical MMO shooters.  

OPPORTUNITIES

From the comments that the game received on youtube, it seems that the game is a much awaited game especially to those people who got addicted on counter-strike; this game will have an edge on the market if it will be release soon.  Since the teaser page was posted on some social network sites, players are still posting their comments on it till present.

HINDRANCES

Hacks such as: Speed hack, Cheat engine, 1-hit-kill and etc

But based on the game itself and on its developer, I think it is close to impossible to hack this game since it already has an advance technology.

Top ten guys as game character

2010-07-07T21:56:00.000-07:00

Do you ever wonder who should portray the character of your favorite game? I just remembered when I was young, I watched the movie “street fighter” wherein Jean Claude Van Damme portray the role of Guile. Hmm, actually on the physical aspect, he doesn’t match the actual looks of Guile in that movie. He maybe can mimic the actions and some of the costume but he doesn’t look like Guile. Of course to make the movie more reliable and effective for the viewers, the characters should match all the aspects of the character they are portraying, especially the looks. Do you ever wonder Kristin Kreuk as Chun li? LOL of course Chun li is an Asian character that should also be portrayed by an Asian star.
10.) Batista as Marcus Fenix
9.) Michael Duncan Clarke as Augustus Cole

8.) Owen Wilson as Ken

7.) Vin Diesel as Kratos

6.) Tom Cruise as Dante

5.) George Clooney as Sam Fisher

4.) Jason Statham as Agent 47

3.) Ryan Reynolds as Nathan Drake

2.) Jeff Bridges as Max Payne

1.) Vladimir Mashkov as Niko Bellic

Cosplay Dogs (crazy costumes)

2010-07-06T19:05:00.001-07:00

Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure), short for "costume play",is type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea.

This event is well known to teens who are an avid fan of Japanese manga, cosplayers are gathered up in this event to see and to compete with other cosplayers using their talent and imagination to create a replica image of their favorite Japanese manga character and even in online games..

Upon searching on pictures of costume players I stumbled on to those pictures

A SEARCH FOR BANA BUS!

2010-07-05T22:53:00.000-07:00

Ill give you a simple picture of what bana bus looks like
Well as i remember, and if the memory serves me right. The first post about this bus was on 6-01-2009 at 01:08 AM. And now i wonder where did the bana bus go. Actually i havent personally meet the bana bus but from the pics that i have seen, i think it is an awesome bus. I love the bus'es color and its concept.

From the common looks of an ordinary bus,
To this,
Well, its been a year now and i don't have or the players either any news regarding the bana bus. well, what do you think? where did the bana bus go? its still a mystery up to now...

Similarities of playing GAME and ALCOHOL

Alcohol, even at low doses, significantly impairs the judgment and coordination
Playing game though having a significant judgments and coordination when looking for a quest materials and location can impair the judgments and coordination in real life..
