What is CyberCafe Buff?
What? You don’t know what is CyberCafe Buff?
Well.. That’s all right, because it is never been done locally yet, it is still very new in ANZ. CyberCafe Buff is a special feature that is installed remotely to your local cyber café to give you endless in-game boosters. We are talking buff for higher % experience, higher % stances and higher % drop rate. There will be many possibilities for the boosters. More about cybercafe buff click here.

Disclaimer: All informations may subjects to change. The actual mechanics, rules and regulations will be briefed on the actual day.

Simply say this is a competition where the player with highest level WINS!

But hold on, this is not as simple as that because there are tricks and strategies that you have to know to do well in this. I let you do your homework. You can discuss it here.

This is a very first-of-a-kind competition that is aimed at encouraging and fostering pro-social behavior among online gamers. You will be tested on your ability to work together and to increase your characters’ levels in the fastest, most efficient way while displaying good sportsmanship within a specified time. This meant that you have to cooperate, interact and work well as a squad, under intense online game conditions. Isn’t it great to know that you can help each other even though they are competitors. This is a WIN-WIN situation to receive bonus points while giving us something more than we expected. That is for you to practice pro-social qualities which it will be needed for the rest of our life. ^^ I bet you will never see a competition where you guys are supporting each other by shouting out common encouraging words from you or other contestant like “come on, let’s go, go, go!”, “no prob, get up and go!”, “good job!” etc.
