Moon Bear Thanksgiving Event~

Moon Bear Thanksgiving Event at pagbubukas ng Event Shop, ngayong Oct. 22 na!

May sorpresang darating ngayong October 22. Isa na rito ang pagdating ng cute na cute na Moon Bear na dadalaw sa RAN para mamigay ng Moon Lamp Headgear at Moon Bear Costumes! Basahin ang kwento at alamin kung paano!

Panahon na naman para sa Thanksgiving Feast ng mga diyos sa kalangitan. Ngayong taon, naatasan si Luna, ang diyosa ng buwan, na i-decorate ang hardin ng mga diyos kung saan gaganapin ang Thanksgiving Ball. Dahil sa likas na katamaran ni Luna, naisip n'yang utusan ang kanyang alagang oso na gawin ang kanyang trabaho. "Inilagay ko ang liwanag ng buwan sa mga lamparang iyan. Isabit mo sila sa bawat sulok ng hardin bago magsimula ang Thanksgiving Ball," ang bilin niya sa kanyang alaga. Agad na sumunod ang oso pero dahil hindi pa s'ya nakakarating sa hardin ng mga diyos, sinundan n'ya ang unang daan na kanyang nakita. Ang hindi n'ya alam, daan yun papunta sa mundo ng mga tao.

Ilang araw na lang bago ang Thanksgiving Feast pero hindi pa rin bumabalik ang oso. Dahil sa pag-aalalang baka tinakasan ng oso ang trabahong ibinigay n'ya rito, inutusan ni Luna ang kanyang bantay para hanapin ang kanyang nawalang alaga.

Tulungan ang bantay na hanapin si Moon Bear at magkaroon ng cute na cute na bagong headgear at costume!

GE Server Merge

Frequently Asked Questions

1. With the world migration, will there be server lag issues since there are more players in the server now?

Currently, our servers have only been utilizing between 6%-31% of its total capabilities. Lag can be a result of many issues, such as low spec graphic card or CPU, local ISP (Internet Service Provider) re-routing issues etc.

Furthermore, the new servers that we will be migrating to are far more powerful with its new hardware and system upgrades. We conservatively estimate that the utilization of the new servers after the world migration will not be likely to exceed 30% of its total capabilities.

2. What will become of Colony Wars after the World Migration where other powerful factions reside together in the new world?

Colony Wars will only become more challenging. Rivalries and competitions, all of which are vital elements in making each faction better. No longer would a single faction dominate the entire map allowing for a better balance of power and privileges. Factions will also have to stay on their toes and keep up with the others. All these would only mean a heightened energy level and tension within the GE world, making it so much more exciting to play.

3. Will there be a shortage of monsters and raids due to the additional families?

IMC has programmed Granado Espada such that monster spawn rates are directly dependent on the number of families in each map. The system detects the number of families in the map and automatically adjusts the monster spawn rates accordingly. The more families in the map = higher spawn rate.

One of the reasons why we have chosen to do the world migration just before the launch of V2.9 expansion is because the *new expansion for V2.9 has various instanced missions and raids. Instanced missions and raids mean that you will be able to participate in missions and raids that are exclusively to you and your party members, without the interference of external parties – this ensures that having additional families in the New World will not affect the outcome.

*In addition, 3 additional Super Fight maps (3 timings for each map), 3 Cooperative Missions, Secret Tower Raids, Reboldoeux Culverts Raids and new additional PvP maps like Royalist VS Republican Faction Fights which give additional EXP buffs as rewards will be coming out in V2.9 launch which is tentatively scheduled on 16 October 2008, Thursday.

4. What additional benefits are there for World Migration?

a) Improved World (Server) Monitoring

With fewer worlds (servers) to manage, this would free up more time and resources for Game Masters to physically log in and out to check on the different servers. They will also be able to work more closely with players who have provided them with information to perform periodically checks on parties using 3^rd party software.

b) ~50% Shorter Maintenance Time

With fewer worlds (servers) to manage, maintenance time is estimated to be shorter by around 50% bar any major patches or ad-hoc events. We believe that this exercise would enable us to have a quicker response to feedback and a more efficient and focused service to our valued gamers.

c) Community Bonding

An online game revolves around its community. The larger the community, the more vibrant and diversified it becomes. This is our aim when we set off to conduct this world migration. We believe that it will do the community good in the long run.

d) Longer Duration & More Frequent In-Game Events

With more resources, we can conduct more fun-filled events and be assured of better attendance. In the past, we often have to conduct in-game events world-by-world. This often means that some worlds would have to wait for their turn. With fewer worlds, we can now hold events that are of longer durations and at a more extensive manner.

*Based on V2.9 Secret of the Culverts patch notes description. More details will be released soon.

"Till Death Do Us Part" A Ran Wedding Ceremony (Strife)

Church bells, Stretch Limos, Delicious food and Pretty Bridesmaids are just a few things that come to my mind when I hear the word wedding. Whether it be inside a church, or by the Beach weddings will always be an event everyone will remember. But this wedding event however is different or more like "Unique", for this particular wedding event takes place in the very game itself (Ran Online). Aside from your normal grinding and hunting routines, players may now actually get married giving them a totally different gaming experience.

At around 10:00pm tonight August 30, 2009 I witnessed the epic marriage of JericRaval and missprinsesa (Strife server). What started as just another simple wedding quickly turned into something far greater as GM's started to appear one by one. We were really overwhelmed to see how many players attended the said wedding. Facilitated by "Father GM Lyle" everyone witnessed missprinsesa walking down the carpeted isle and finally exchanging vows with JericRaval. Right after the words "You may now kiss the bride" the GM's and the other players then started to congratulate the newly weds.

Now it was time for the reception! However reception party's at Ran wedding events are far from your usual Fancy restaurants or Caterers. Instead of eating delicious food, numerous mobs are summoned for the newly weds and the invited guests to feast upon. Not a bad finisher for such an extraordinary event. Now some of you are probably curious as to how honeymoons are in Ran Online? Well that is something we leave to the players ^__^v. Cheers to JericRaval and his bride missprinsesa!

My OYE~ Experience (Strife)

Our creatives department needed a short video clip of players doing the "Oye" dance. In just a few minutes a found myself inside the mystic peak campus asking the other players for a favor. Although I was using my GM character at that time, the players were actually suspicious because i was just wearing my preparatory school outfit. In spite of that, I was actually glad to see how the players 1st reacted when they saw me. It's always good to see players being extra cautios at times due to the numerous scamming and hacking incidents going on. It took a few more minutes and a change of attire before the players finally believed that I was really an authentic GM (Haha!). Once I got their trust and attention I then requested if they could assist me in doing this short "Oye" video clip. After a few more minutes of explaining they finally agreed to assist me with the video. We came to an agreement that once the video was done, i would then greet them one by one in exchange for their cooperation.

Our first few attempts were hilarious since it was hard to synchronize our movements. Not to mention there were little hooligans running around in the background (which our video "Director" did not like). After moving to a different location and a few more practice runs we were actually able to get it right (Finally! ^__^v) . Once I was able to thank the players who helped me it was time to deliver my end of the bargain. I did my best in typing in the names of the players and greeting them for all the other strife players to see. After a lot of thanks and gratitude and few Birthday greetings which were special requests, I unfortunatley I had to bid farewell since I still had a lot of other things to take care off. So I took a few more screenies and said my last remarks and the rest was history ^__^v


Here are some of the screen shots:

Ran Online Random Suryun Event

This has to be one of my favorite events in Ran Online so far ^__^v. Since this is random, there is no definite time it will start. In this very fun event, players are invited to the place where the suryun event will be held. Once there are at least a considerable amount of players in the area the CGM conducting the event will then start summoning monsters. Summoned monsters include Bandit's, Violent Baldie's, Storage Guard's and Golf Bomber's with a mixture of favorites like Ninja Knife's (NK) and Cruel Jupiter's (CJ).

Here are some screen shots of this fun filled event held at the wedding hall (Kalayaan Server).

Why GM Chromium?

It took me a whole day just thinking of what GM name i wanted to use. I found it kind of difficult because i wanted a name that was not commonly used by players. Originally i was thinking of using the title of my favorite song as my GM name but for some reason it just did not have the particular feeling i was looking for. It was only after countless hours of thinking and choosing between a few names that i finally decided to use "Chromium" as my GM name. I guess it just kind of got stuck on my mind the very moment i thought of it and also because i thought it sounded kinda cool. I also like the fact that simple and ordinary things become really elegant and stylish after they're chrome plated.

Aside from being a chemical element, Chromium is also the name of a metal band which sang one of my all time favorite songs "Ex-amino". These were the two major factors that helped me in picking my GM name.
