Thanks Alex, really appreciate it!
The babes missed you, man hehe :) Anyway, for the enjoyment of hackenslash readers, they can check out the chat sessions we set up during our live blog with GM Cydie of RF Online, Crazy Kart model Chek (Cherry Kubota), and Lana Anderson, the female Fil-Am player of Team USA at http://www.levelupgames.ph/liveblog/level-up-live-2008/ These three were a big hit with gamers at the event and those following the action online.
Cheers,
Joey
The crowd and pics were a little bit thin compared to previous LU biggie event. It shows pRO has passed its product life cycle and Marketng is in hurry to prolong it. And several gamers are searching for big MMOs. But of course, LU people would deny this, they will live and die with their games , loyal and true, but let the CCUs judge it viz-a-viz competition.
@QueenMaja Well, everyone's entitled to an opinion, and I'm not going to try to convince you, but it might be better to check the facts first.
The attendance records don't lie -- we broke our previous record by a big margin. If you actually went there, you would have seen so for yourself. Not to mention the fact that apart from the huge crowd at WTC, we had 55, 000 viewers from 27 countries watching the live video stream and 12, 275 unique users read the live blog. So yeah, this was a huge event, online and offline.
Cheers!
@Queen Maja - Let the seeds begin.
Were you at LU Live last year and this year? Stop yapping about something you know nothing about.
Well said QueenMaja, gamers from mid class to upper class are finding new top of the line mmo's that are worth their money and game experience. Gamers now are evolving and can see clearly what are the differences between huge mmo's and mmo's that are just half the value of what they are looking for.
They should read reviews from game critics to guide them through which mmo or any game on any platforms they may choose. So thay in the end, they won't feel cheated in the process of this industry.
Don't forget the cosplay pics and the Filharmonika performance

Cooler heads prevail though, and thats why your guild is still around. Finally the reaction of the server including the lack of people to jump on the Jeff Nemerofsky with their perceived slights, leaves me to believe that all in all our interactions with our server mates have been fairly strong. While it may have been in poor taste, I used the free publicity to highlight my guilds recruitment needs. I expressed Jeff Nemerofsky regret at his dissatisfaction, without taking accountability for that dissatisfaction. http://www.jeffanemerofsky.com/

Here's an interesting investment opportunity I can't afford, but maybe you can. A beach house in Rehoboth, Delaware with a secondary rental unit. A home that pays its own mortgage. Not bad. And the fact that Delaware has some of the lowest real estate taxes in the country and duty-free shopping doesn't hurt either. With the real estate market in a slump, here's your chance to get an expensive house in an oceanic resort for cents on a dollar. I wish I had the money... http://www.homeinrehoboth.net/
