September 2008


When every geek-blooded gamer in the world is busy tapping some buttons caring about nothing but the treasured console, a superior stood proudly and set out for an expedition in Africa - to accomplish a feat that will grant him one million US dollars and the prestige for proving how professional gaming skills and mastery of mind games can pose a threat to the most powerful and most agile of competitors.

A five-time Super Smash Brothers Melee international champion and dubbed as “the King of Smash” in professional gaming circles, the 22 year old Ken Hoang, who lives in Westminster California, has been playing computer games since childhood, and has lived life continuously doing so. In fact, he was able to support his family by the winnings he got from the gaming competitions.

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.

I do not know the exact reasons as to why many are really into knowing the real life, physical identities of their favorite GMs, but this popular topic simply shows how much players care about how GMs look like IRL (lol. 1716 replies, 12399 views!). Although the faces of the other GMs would be left to your wildest imaginations, time will come when the CGMs would be officially launched – and that means they (or we :D ) would be exposed to the general public, for everyone to see.

Are you up for the challenge?

In the hope of promoting The Ancient Observer, and to get over with the silly A Friend in Shadows signature, Ive decided to make another signature, this one obviously named after my blog.

The background is taken from a screenshot I had on one of my Cabal GM character. If youre playing Cabal and you are keen enough to notice, the stance is that of the Wizard’s Battle Mode, a special skill that improves the character’s battle abilities by granting additional stats. In the the Wizard’s Battle mode animation, the Wizard musters magic out of his hands, hops into mid air, revolves 360 degrees, and releases magic into his surrounding in the form of an intense aura. I think the animation is cool, and with a hawt Goguryeo costume to complement the marvelous animation, the result is just worth capturing.
