From The New Blog Manager

Hello, mga mobius ka-tropa!

Siege here. I'll be keeping you guys up to date on everything mobiusgames from now on-- which means until I get fired, or taken by the Space Aliens.

Anyway, did you all see the Gong Teaser Trailer I posted last week?

If you did, then good for you. You just saw the most amazing casual game that's going to be simultaneously launched in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore.

If you didn't, well, too bad. After all, it's a teaser trailer, remember? You'd have to wait until I've uploaded it again. OR until it's commercially launched. Hehehehe...

See, another perk at adding THIS blog as your Multiply.com contact.

Get yourselves ready for the mobiusgames Halloween EB!

Halloween is coming early to our adik gamers with this year's mobiusgames EB!

On October 27 (Saturday), gather your friends and foes and storm the Chizzy Gaming Station at Taft Avenue in Manila and begin the riot!

Starting at 10AM, the mobiusgames Halloween EB kicks off with:

And a whole lot more! And if you'd been wondering what your favorite in-game GM looked like, now's your chance to find out and stalk them! Ok, we're kidding about the stalking part. NO STALKING PLSKTHXBAI.

Naka-bilog ung Chizzy :P

Entrance fee is P100 per head. Unless, of course, you joined the tournaments, which makes entrance fee = FREE. =P What tournaments, you ask?

Here's an idea:

RAKION CHAOS FORCE CLAN WARS!

You know what that means. It's do-or-die for some of the biggest clans in-game as they pitch their wits, brawn and reputations against others for the right to say, "WE PWNED YOUZ ASSES!!!"

Oh, and some powerful in-game goodies, too.

Interested much? Register your clan at the official Rakion Wars registration thread now! Registration fee is 150 ePoints per player.

MU BATTLE SOCCER EVENT

OMG, this event gives me memories (you can guess how long I've been GM-ing LOL).

For those in the dark, the MU Battle Soccer Event again pits guilds against each other on a different kind of battlefield, with a fiery soccer ball. Five players composed of each character class must race to 100 points before time runs out.

Do you think your guild can be the best at Battle Soccer? Only one way to find out: join the MU Battle Soccer registration today! Registration fee is 350 ePoints per player PLUS:
70pcs Jewels of Bless and 15pcs Gemstones (Titan Server)

New Rakion Features--PLUS A BONUS!

In the last of our three-part series on Rakion's newest patch, we present to you Rakion's newest game features.

CHARACTER PREVIEW

This new feature is especially useful to newbies creating their first characters, but old-timers will also benefit and be better informed about their planned builds.

Preview of a Warrior

On the Character Creation screen, you can now view not only what the character looks like, but also a brief description and its strengths and weaknesses.

You still can't change your character's gender, though. Boo. :(

ROOM INVITE BUTTON

Remember how annoying it was when you had to PM each and every one of your friends your Room number and password just so they can enter? Say goodbye to that as we introduce to you the INVITATION BUTTON!

Excuse my lame attempt at Photoshop =P

With a simple click of a button on your waiting room screen, you can invite your friends to join your room. They don't even have to enter a password if your room's password-protected.

Agree, Disagree, Refuse?

Invited players will then see a window pop up displaying the invite. They can then choose to either Accept or Reject the invitation.

That just makes life so much easier, don't you think?

LOOK, A BONUS FEATURE!

Those Softnyx guys must really love the newbies. They've even created Gold and Cash discount coupons just to help you out!

Players level 30 and below will get a chance to receive a randomly generated Discount Coupon when they level up, which they can use to get discounts on Gold or Cash purchases (whichever coupon they receive) at the Rakion store.

Frequent Rakion shoppers are awarded with these little darlings, too. If you're a frequent shopper, whether for gold or cash items, you can also get a chance to receive a coupon.

These coupons will appear in your inventory with the following values (Cash and Gold):

Click the link for bigger pic!

To use the coupon, double-click on it in your inventory. Then click on the item you wish to purchase in the Rakion store. The coupon will automatically deduct the % value from the item price.

NOTE: A GOLD Discount coupon will NOT work with a CASH purchase. I'm sure we all have enough common sense to know that, but I'd still like to remind you guys because I'm OC. Hehehehe.

-oOo-

And that concludes the list of features of Rakion's newest patch.

NOW GO PLAY!

From Dusk Till Dawn: The Items

We've shown you the new events, now check out the new ex-items you'll soon be buying in Rakion. Remember, you can only buy these items with Rakion Cash, so start stocking up!

STAGE RESET

Stage games in Rakion can get boring because of the non-replayability. What do I mean? Well, say you clear a stage, get a rank, gold and XP. After that, the only challenge will be to get a higher rank for more gold and XP. But who does that, anyway? I know I don't.

Good thing there's the new Stage Reset ex-item. This little baby will reset ALL the stages you've previously cleared, but not the gold and XP you've earned. Now you've got a clean slate to start all over again!

Note that you can only use this item once after purchase and that it will only work with the character that you use to buy it with.

LEVEL LIMIT DISABLER

Stage games are just so much easier played with a high-level character. Unfortunately, those damn stages have level limits that restrict higher- or lower-level characters from entering.

With this new item, you can enter ALL stage games regardless of your level! You read that right: those difficult stages that you couldn't finish as a noob is now available for the taking!

You can use this item with ANY character in your account, but you can only use it for 24 hours, after which it will be rendered useless.

-oOo-

You've seen the new items, now let's move on to the new features!
