Due to the long term fluctuation of AUD to USD, OnlineGamez has to increase the price for the Granado Espada GPoints Card.

The new price for GE70000 GPoints card will become AUD $61.00. It is effective immediately.

Should the AUD’s rate drop in the future, OnlineGamez will review the price again.

Hello,

This will be my last field report for CyberCafe Buff Launch and Levelution Competition. I would like to congratulate to all those who signed up during the events. Welcome to Granado Espada! Feel free to add us in your Friend List for some in-game help (you can find us here).

Some of you asked me why I play the game? I believe you may not get it at the first time when I said Granado Espada is a must play game. But when you read this blog by now, you will understand better. Just like I told you even if you are not a RPG players, never play an online game before, or millions other reasons, at the end you’ll love GE. Because there is no other online game (and dont forget it’s absolutely FREE game too) can give you such a flexibility and so many great functionality - Multiple Character Control - Recruitable Non-Players Characters - extreme Artificial Intelligence.

This last event gave me all excitements feelings for all the processes. The main reason for that is because I can try V2.6 Sneak Preview. Let’s check the program list in Sydney first. ^^

Program list 28-29 June 2008

About V2.6 The Requiem Sneak Preview


In Sydney, we had the chance to add in the V2.6 Sneak Preview in our Program List. I was so excited because I can try it myself (even though I am not familiar with all terms in the high level accounts), but for sure Bai Hu has stolen my heart. When I tried to complete his quest, I had a chance to view the sparring between him and Gracielo (OMG, Bai Hu will be my favourite characters too besides Gracielo) ^^ One of his skill is too amazing (his last finishing blow can reaches up to 100,000 hit rate). I am not kidding. I am very sure about the hit rate unless it’s time for me to get a new pair of glasses. >.< Can’t wait to level up my main characters in Vivaldi and get into the new map and quests. I have to hurry since it will be released in next month. Btw, good news for you who loves to raid. In these new maps, I believe you can do more raiding because these monsters are very tough (or maybe I’m still not use with the high level characters yet since my current highest characters are only level 70) T T

Besides browsing around in the new map and try to hit some monsters, it is really exciting to know that we’re going to have +9 Imperverium. After V2.6 released, I believe soon there will be more shining weapons roaming around in the city.
Btw, [CM]Veya compiled a list of new stances in her blog. Click here to view it.

About the Competition

The competition in Sydney is more strict and harder. The generic rules still apply but more restrictions have been added to ensure everybody have fair start. It is like the one in Brisbane, no Scout is allowed. In addition of that, they are not allowed to use any other materials besides their new characters in a new server. Despite to all of those additional restrictions, we have many “just sign up” contestant on the day. It was very challenging to teach them very briefly but yet most of them manage to score very well. Let’s see the winner list:

Winners of Levelution

Winner 1; Using a combination of Fighter + Duo Elementalist, he secured his 1st prize with all characters level 15. This GE supporter came to the all days and volunteered in guiding the new players. He’s the master in the game. You’re a champ bro.

Winner 2: This young lad is GE 2nd day player and he’s already mastered the basic of the game. He came back on 2nd day to join this contest and he is proving himself as the next generation of GE expert. His winning characters are at level 13,13,14. Well done!

Winner 3: Big applause to this first timer. He just got briefed and played for less than half an hour then joined this contest. Well, I think he has natural talent in playing RPG game and grasped all other thing while competing with other players. He secured his 3rd place not very far behind from the 2nd winner. All his character are level 13. PS. He even went back to city and do all the leg work between maps (he didn’t know he can use his wrap scroll to go back that place). ><

Actually we almost have another girl winner. Her leveling result is very close to 3rd winner, The difference is only on the experience percentage. That’s ok girl. There’s always another chance. ^^ Anyway, the most important is all of them are having fun and all of them bring back complimentary gift. This time I manage to get them to take group picture with the goodies bag.

Hi guys,

Finally I can touch my blog again (even though I am not a really blogger ><). But still I can’t wait to release this field report about what happening on Brisbane’s RLE. Some of you must be waiting about this. This event is much more challenging than Melbourne one but of course we’re getting better. We have to admit that it’s not really close to a perfect event like WCG since this is more like gathering around with some players, attracting new players and have some fun all day and more fun during the contest. By the way, I will cut the intro and move directly into the highlights of the day.

Program List (21-22 June 2008)

On Saturday, 21st June 2008, we had the Leticia Booth set up a bit later than Melbourne’s event. At first, we were a bit relaxed as we thought it will be a quite morning like what happened in Melbourne. But, surprisingly not long after we finished setting up the booth, banners and posters, there was a player from Malaysia - he flew from Kuala Lumpur to participate our event. Can you imagine that? LOL… Actually this lucky lad is in Brisbane for a month for work and when he read about this event, he knew he has to come and be part of it. He is one of the first guys who experienced the CyberCafe Buff in the CyberCafe.
Thanks H! Our days were merrier with your accompany. I hope you had fun together with the Australian players at our small event.

I have to admit that it is surprisingly challenging to get other genre players to even try Granado Espada. I think some players who came on that day already have their own agenda or engagements so when we offered them free hour to try GE they were very reluctant and only some of them kindly say they will try it later. I really hope that they try it, since they can  make use of the CybeCafe Buff, anyway there is nothing I can do if they do not try, they will never know the difference  >< I bet it is just like our daily life, we have our ups and downs in a day. I consider that as our down point and of course we had our up point too. That is when we managed to run “Top Speed” Alpha Test smoothly without any problems. For one to two hours, we had fun with this alpha test. We gathered up around 10 people to try the game and had a car racing. It reminded me to watch “Speed Racer” in the cinema. Thanks to IAHGames who provided us the test accounts. TopSpeed is such as cute, relaxing and fun online car racing game. But have to warn you, it is very addictive. You may want to keep trying until you win ^^. We were there till 7 pm, and we have a champion for “TopSpeed” test who is a young handsome hardcore gamer and he is working at our host cybercafé. He played almost all PC games and what I envy the most is he has a collection of costumes in Granado Espada and he’s one of our ANZ vis-lionner that I know so far. I am thinking maybe we should put up a hall of fame for local players achievements in different categories: Richest player, most popular GE Family, etc. Anyway, let us discuss it again in the future. Psst… that night I am pretty sure that I was dreaming about having all those costumes and characters in all my servers. ^^

About the Competition

On Sunday morning, we had few others new players who came for the trials. GE has beautiful graphics and some of them just came because of the banner that we displayed at the main door. Well, time flies very fast and not long after that we have to get ready for levelution competition. But hold on, there was a problem. At the time when we should ready to start the briefing, we only had a quarter of registered participants turned up. So pre-competition was a bit tense, we had to ring up all other the participants who have not showed up. Well, this was another down point in the day. At the end, we started the competition about an hour later than schedule. Every minute was ticking slower than usual during the waiting. ^^* Luckily the rest of the day is getting much better. In Brisbane, we also have 50% - 50% of existing players and new players. I can see that some of the players were truly preparing themselves in advance. As results, we have 1st winner with level 18, 2nd winner with level 17 and 3rd winner with level 15. We had a funny story from our 3rd winner. She got “PK”ed during the competition. LOL… but she still can win the game. She’s so cool. Btw, have I mentioned I am so thrilled to finally meet other female players? I finally met female players in Brisbane.
