MMOG: Audition Scandal II

OMFG. IT'S BACK.

Like what Britney (now bald, btw) likes to say...

"HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME!"



Hahaha! This is just insane. Great job darrick07 for putting this together. It's really funny to see stuff like this, especially when you've just went through a long and tiring day at work. Thanks to Goenitz for giving me the link. Does anyone here remember the RO GM Scandal? That was a sprite edit with a lady GM doing something to a Novice playing dead XD

Anway, I think this video is just hillarious! What do you think? Post a comment! :)

PS
I'm gonna try to get more stuff on Perfect World and RO2 tomorrow. Till then, ciao!

Audition PH: Scandal!!!

OH. EM. GEE.

OMG!

Who would have thought only DLSU would have popular scandal videos? Even online games have scandals now! If you guys check my earlier posts there was a FlyFF Lawolf Scandal. However, that was comic and it would fit better into the cattegory of pranks and jokes. That video was a bit more tame than what you are about to see! Please take note that you need parental guidance if you are under 18 and that the following video will have *adult* content (haha).

I'll be posting another video made by ryvrdrgn about Ragnarok HUGEL soon, so watch out for that one! According to him, it will have a complete story line and it will be 8-9 minutes long complete with action-packed scenes.

Rok On!

Lineage II: Coming this 2007!

AMDG, the company that is currently distributing Warcraft, Counterstrike, Starcraft, Diablo, and Guild Wars just bagged one of the most awarded and successful games in Korea: Lineage II.

MANILA, Philippines--After almost a year of courtship, South Korean game development giant NCsoft and Philippine publisher Asian Media Development Group have closed a $5.5-M deal to distribute Lineage II not just in the Philippines, but across Southeast Asia. - www.hackenslash.net

Talk about big bucks! $5.5M is almost 275M PHP! Personally, I believe AMDG has a good game on their hands but there are alot of threats that they should tackle if they really want to get their investment back. Namely:

Proliferation of Private Servers: Lineage II has an abundance of private servers wherein players can play for free. The current business model of LII in Korea is still pay-to-play, so it's safe to assume that it will be the same here.

High Computer Specs: LII has one of the highest required computer specs to play. If I'm not mistaken, it's a few notches above RF when it comes to video card and processor needs.

Competitors: Alot of quality games will be coming in this year; including Ragnarok 2, Perfect World, Silkroad, and Granado Espada.

That's from the business point of view. However for the gaming community as a whole, this is a very good thing. Each time a new game comes out, the industry grows because it attracts more people and it converts more non-gamers. For example, alot of people were saying that Pangya, being a golf game, wouldn't make it big here. But Pangya was successful in doing something that even Ragnarok ocouldn't do - get alot of young professionals and older people to start online gaming. Like what I said in the previous RF post, 2007 will be a very big year for the online gaming industry!

To end this post, let me share with everyone a LII video I found on YOUTUBE:
