Asian Media maps out plans for early 2008

funny they say L2 is the 2nd largest but majority of the players that are playing in the u-belt area are RF online and ragnarok...can you provide us the website of the research group to check the survey?

actually, majority i've seen play WarRock, perfect world & ran online. the only thing L2 has majority of are posters.

@reimaru

The survey was done in areas where freeplays have been conducted and just about a week or 2 from the date of the freeplay.

Further, this is the only game i know of that supports the use of bots. If im not mistaken they are not going to do any gameguard update regarding the bot until February or March 2008.

Last, professional players of lineage (those that played the inernational version) are into buying adenas which is the ingame currency. The game provides a quest wherein you get a hundred thousand adenas during your early levels. Create 10 characters and youd have earned yourself 500pesos.

Funny you should mention a game that allows the use of bots. Isn't that what the first bot-infested MMORPG in the Philippines (Ragnarok Online) was about?

Lets not even talk about the RMT side of RO especially in the early days.

If I'm not mistaken too, bots still roam freely in various RO servers.

lol.

woah!!! they support bots?...no wonder many players are searching for L2 bots in the net ^^

i think the bot issue in L2 is worst than RO and granado espada combined

and i heard they still have no game cards in the market

@reimaru

where are you from? let me refresh your memory by checking out this link.

Load will be available by January 2008.

The original plan was for a 20 peso load for 1 whole day unlimited gameplay. But i hear they have plans to increase that to 2 days.

@ reimaru

LOL stop being gullible.. use of bots is against the terms of service.. it's quite the opposite actually.. they ban so many bots that there are a few non-botters who get caught in the crossfire..

so no, L2 SEA doesn't tolerate botting..

and really, no use comparing RO and GE to L2.. it's like comparing a box-type corolla to 12 cylinder aston martin..

@ tristan

as for the 100k reward noob quest (Kamael), they blocked that 1st day of open beta.. so no, it cannot be exploited.. the elf version takes much a longer time to complete thus not making worth the effort for 10 chars..

and why did you point out 500 pesos instead of 1 mil adena? LOL.. using RMT to bash is useless as it is more rampant in RO and the common F2P games in the Phil..

just be happy we have a world class game hosted locally.. international gamers like me no longer have to put up with 300ms latency just to play in NA..

my only concern is that i hope the base pinoy gaming community will mature fast enough to deal with an international community..

I get to see a lot of gamers playing DotA rather than L2. lmao

L2 anyone? I rather play GW.

no more ran online now^^ run will be soon burried deep^^ 2moons will rock
the world i guess! nice graphics and nice
marketing^^

@Jercouzen nice one to finally correct these misconceptions that these guys have regarding Lineage 2 SEA (if i remember it right this also happened to one other game that AMDG released here in that a certain company just keeps on giving out wrong information regarding Guild Wars)

@Ancient i'd rather play either Lineage 2 or Guild Wars than RO or GE

@tagapamahala nice one to actually remind him about that press release and article

There are more people playing DotA in the Philippines than any other locally published MMORPG.

Why? Because DotA is free and there are no hidden costs found in F2P games. :P

Like everyone else in the country looking for freebies, you're still freeloading. XD

DOTA is technically not free since cafes should actually purchase an original copy of warcraft. Thing is, most of the installed copies you see are pirated. Candidate for a next raid after the Windows OS raids
