Square Enix has opened a teaser site revealing that Dragon Quest VIII:
Journey of the Cursed King will be ...
Just got an announcement coming from Perfect World Co., Ltd. that Heroes of Three Kingdoms (HOTK) also known as Chi Bi/Red Cliff and other PW Co. games like Legend of Martial Arts and Hot Dance Party will be coming to the Philippines via Cubinet.ph.
In November 2010, the two parties cooperated again to license "Legend of Martial Arts," "Chi Bi" and "Hot Dance Party" to the Philippines. "Legend of Martial Arts" is a 3D cartoon adventure MMORPG based on a popular TV drama series with the same Chinese name. It was launched in Mainland China in 2006. "Chi Bi" is a war epic 3D MMORPG based on the Three Kingdoms, a well-known period in the ancient Chinese history; while "Hot Dance Party" is the Company's first 3D online casual game.
It seems that Cubinet PH is grabbing nearly all of PW's games. Now if they can only include Jade Dynasty and Forsaken World into the mix, then I'm REALLY sold!
It's been a long time ago since we heard anything about the Perfect World's newest race: Tideborn, it's a treat then that we're given a glimpse of the Tideborn Assassin and Psychic class thanks to Perfect World Beijing. The video's below!
Some of the reasons why most computer users in the Philippines don't even want to touch Linux is because it's too hard to learn and that they can't play their favorite games on it. All I can say to that is poppycock!
I want to convince the internet shop owners and business owners out there that you don't need to resort to paying huge amounts of money to Microsoft or resort to practicing installing hacked Windows (that are just as dangerous since they hardly get updated and thus open to security and malware problems) just to get online or use a computer.
MS Office vs. Open Office/Google Docs: Both MS Office and Open Office are virtually the same in every aspect that the only difference between the two is the price: paid vs. free. Even the updates are free, so no more buying the next MS Office update...
Getting online: some people are still scared whether Ubuntu will get them online, but I promise you, it's even easier and faster to get online with this OS than it is with Windows. Regarding browsers, there's a Linux version of it whatever may it be.
Typing in commands: some users I know suddenly get squeamish at the first site of the Terminal. I admit I was one of those folks but you get used to typing in commands. Plus, there are a lot of resources out there that provides step by step instructions on how to deal with the Terminal, so don't fret.
Games: A lot of people are afraid of losing their games when they switch to Ubuntu and that's understandable. Not all games can be played with Ubuntu, but those that are worth it does! For example, I have been playing the following MMOs since I transferred to Ubuntu:
I'm planning to try out Runes of Magic Ph on Ubuntu as soon as it goes to CBT.

Here are just some online guides on my current fave ph mmorpgs:
Disclosure: this post will be included in the Perfect World Blog Contest. Heck, if you're in the Philippines, you might as well join and stand to win an iPod Nano! More info here.
I'm currently pissed off at Level Up! Philippines for not completing the info in the Item Malls. I just wasted 900 Gold on something I cannot use.
First off, I am a newbie to Perfect World and I don't know everything (and I highly doubt anyone knows everything about it as well). Second, I'm depending on the info in the Item Mall; I know that the Frost Patch was just recently added and not all's done yet, but they need to update this fast or people like me will be pissed as hell.
Okay, so what's got me pissed off? My new Devil Baron Coat. Why am I pissed off? It's colored Red and it has a level requirement of 30. Therefore I cannot wear it and I need 18 dyes just to turn it black.
Tough luck others might say, but 900 Gold is still 900 Gold. If I knew that there'll be level restrictions on this one, then I wouldn't have bought it!
I've been out and about in Perfect World and it's almost what I thought it was: Perfect. There's been some snags like lags in towns(that's expected), and some places where my character gets stuck (this one wasn't). This happened when I tried the Leap Quest and fell in a small opening between the houses and the hills. I used the teleport to the nearest town skill just to get out of there.
As mentioned in the title, there's this vid that made me a believer.
The Lion King (Requirement: Lvl 60, Speed:9 to 10)
The info came from the Perfect World Malaysia Forums. If you look there as well, you'll see more upcoming mounts like the Fenrir, Thunder Leopard, Blue Dragon, Golden Pig, Green Dragon, and Chimera. These all require at least Level 60 to ride on.
Hopefully Level Up! can implement the patches as soon as they get them from Beijing Perfect World.
I chose to play this game over the others because of the following reasons:
It's got a very detailed (some may call anal) character customization. Imagine putting your face and body in the game. Prepare to customize for hours.
It's full of quests! Instead of the daily grind, you get to pick and choose quests that'll help you level up.
The crafting system is so easy, even a newbie like me can do it. I crafted my first set of armor and weapons between level 10 and 12. Although it would be more helpful if you bought Level Up Top Cards like I did to facilitate your crafting addiction.
It can run on a low-mid spec PC like mine. My previous fave game had a lot of crit issues due to hardware unable to handle the graphics. With Perfect World, I have yet to encounter critical errors.
My character's in the Tiger Server, and his name is Calime. It's supposed to be Alcarcalimo, a reincarnation from my previous fave game: Lineage 2 SEA (which I also created a fansite for as well), but Perfect World won't allow names with more than ten letters. So therefore, I just chose Calime.
I chose the Human Class for this one reason: the HumanWuxia Class can use double blades and bows. I also changed his colors to purple and his ears are pointed to resemble a Dark Elf. This is the nearest I can remake my old character in the new game.
So far, I have played the game for two weeks or so and have thougroughlu enjoyed it. It does have its positives and negatives like all games, but it's gotten my attention so far.
