Melbourne CyberCafe Buff Launch & Levelution Field Report
Howdy ANZ community,
Are you waiting for my news about last weekend event? Well, simply say whoever asked me how was my weekend, I would say my last weekend was FUN-TASTIC. I was thrilled to be able to meet other players in real life (Yes yes.. you are right. They asked me why I seldom go online now…. So I have to spent my first few minutes doing the explanation session to gain their understanding and forgiveness because I “afk” most of the time or just disappear TT).

The Program Guide for Melbourne Event (14-15 June 2008)
I have to confess I was confused and a little bit stressed at the beginning of my first day because it was very quite and “dead” (remind me of grave yard – yeah… I am exaggerating a little bit ^^). For your info, it was the beginning of exams week, I have to admit it has huge impact on this event but slowly everything was changed and it was getting more exciting because I met a GE expert (I can only admire his collection of characters and equipments while wondering when I can have those nice collection of achievements ><) and also some cute and enthusiastic players (new and existing). Not all of our planned activities can be done accordingly like The Top Speed Alpha Test has to be cancelled due to technical problems. Everything else was getting better on the next day; more and more new players interested to join and try the First FREE Hour. Even though, there was a change of plan for the Competition time, we have to move it from 11 am to 1 pm, everything else was adjusted accordingly and it run smoothly afterwards.
About the competition
This competition was filled with a very well-balanced combination of players, the first halves were new players (some of them just opened their account on the day too) and the other halves were existing players (all of them were excited to be able to meet up and socialize with other players in the real life). It begun with a short briefing by our cute amateur MC ^^ (he’s actually the Manager of OnlineGamez Australia, GE distributor in ANZ). After a while, finally all players can be gathered up in front of the Queen’s Gate and then they started their journey to level up most in 45 minutes.
While waiting for other players to join up to the meeting point.

Winners of Levelution
CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN TO ALL THE WINNERS OF LEVELUTION!
The 1st prize is won by a cute and quiet bloke from Monash University (I think he’s quiet – as I did not have chance to really talk to him after the event because now he’s busy studying for exam). Yup…. He loves GE and he know it is worth it to come and try his luck to get that shiny and exclusive Limited Edition Box plus. His effort was not wasted because his point was proven by winning himself the 1st prize and memory of lifetime. He secured his position with level 16 for all of his characters.
1st Prize
The 2nd prize is won by a young and handsome executive who admits hasn’t been playing GE for a while because of work, but still loves GE and looking forward to play again, especially after he got his very own My Bellem Box now. He’s only 1 level lower than 1st winner and secures his 2nd best position on level 15 for all his characters.
2nd Prize
The 3rd prize is won by a very bright lad who will be the future architect from University of Melbourne. I know this guy in-game few months back, he’s one of the pioneers in Australia community, together with a group of friends, they play actively in Cervantes server. He secured his position as 3rd winner on level 14 for all his characters.
3rd Prize
All other contestants did not do too bad, as they were not too far away between each other’s level, all of them in the range of level 10-13 for their characters. They did not go back empty-handed. All levelution participants were rewarded with an eco-friendly GE goodies bag each, consists of a game magazine, movie tickets and some in-game items.
Farewell
We wrapped up the event with Lucky Draw event. Another special hamper was prepared and more freebies were given out on this time for those who stays behind. Btw, I got the honor to draw prizes for these lucky people. A special hamper was given to a very lucky “just come” participant. He just tried GE for couple minutes when I called his name. And again our Master of Leveler, Mr. Simon, won another prize from the lucky draw. That is a double luckiness. ^^ Not long after that, after few casual chats (I managed to interview few prominent players – reports coming up) and photo takings, finally its times for farewell. I was sad to know it’s time to farewell when I just started to feel some bond created and fun. Fun time sure flies very fast. We’re wishing each other all the best and hoping to see each other again in the future. I am so happy to hear that they are looking forward for the next event. Me too guys.
