After the Pride of Champions League (PCL) which happened from August 19, 2011 to September 18, 2011 nationwide, top 8 teams emerged. Team MOTV from Cebu won the grand title while Cristal (formerly AZK) and Saintz from Manila raced runners up accordingly. Gameclub sent the one and only Crossfire Philippine Team who proudly represented the Philippines at the most highly anticipated e-sports gaming festival---World Cyber Games last December 8-11, 2011, in Busan, Korea.
This May 2012, Crossfire will once again invade the regions from Luzon to Mindanao holding onsite tournaments and finals like never seen before. The best team might get a good chance to represent the country in the prestigious World Cyber Games 2012 in China happening late this year.
Eligium PH is the newest title from Level Up! that is set to be launched soon.
The game was unveiled at the World Trade Center earlier during Domination 6. Free beta accounts will be given away soon so better like the game’s official Facebook page for timely updates.
Domination 6 is scheduled this coming Saturday, April 21st, at the World Trade Center. Are you coming? You better do, cuz if you’re a gamer, I’m sure you’ve played at least one of the IP e-Games titles.
This is the 6th domination and will hopefully be my third time to attend.
Tournaments at the event include Ran Online Matira Matibay Tournament, Cabal 3v3 Carnage National Tournament, Point Blank Mega Bakbakan, Audition Dance Battle Master of Eight Keys and Bandmaster SOS Bagsakan.
Much-awaited by the gamers who go to Domination are the performers that will help liven up the mood at the event. This year, IP e-Games tapped the services of Up Dharma Down, Join the Club and Tanya Markova.
Karen Bordador and JC Cuadrado will be this year’s host.
Also, there will be job fair! So get those résumés printed out so you can land your dream job!
If you’re going, here are the dos and don’ts to remember (from the e-Games website):
This summer, as it heats up the year of the dragon, Weapons of War also adds the new Black Dragon Lotto to its item mall.
Players now have the rare chance to grab the latest Black Dragon Mount which gives them additional 40% move speed! But the fun doesn’t stop there, along with the new Black Dragon Lotto comes the Dragon Panda Lotto!
The Dragon Panda Lotto can be obtained by acquiring Dragon Panda Beads and then exchanging it from the Dragon Panda Bead Collector at certain towns. It contains a wide variety of rare items from upgrading, buffs, mount and the new Dragon Panda Pet! The Dragon Panda pet is not your ordinary cute sidekick that accompany you on your day to day adventure, it also gives a 5% additional Elemental damage to your character giving you an extra edge in battle!
Also this month, the Blood Palace Championship, which is a part of the War for Supremacy Tournament, starts. Participants are now required to participate in the Blood Palace War every Saturday in order to gain points. By the end of the elimination round, points will be tallied and only the top 8 guilds will be part of the next leg of the tournament.

WHAT’S NEW WITH GENGHIS?
It’s finally here, Patch Day for GK! And yes they have listened, the guys (and girls) behind Genghis Khan Online are rolling out a new patch this coming March! And it looks like there will be a lot of changes.
Right of the bat, EXP! They are adjusting the experience rate for mid-level players, you won’t be stuck grinding forever trying to reach that elusive level to finally get your hands dirty and bash in some skulls in PvP! Oh, don’t worry about those guys that are way above your level, they have promised everything would be nice and balanced, with cherry on top.
My friends inside Gameclub told me that the cool down on skills, well let’s just say won’t be as abusive as before, you can finally put up a good fight against keyboard warriors that just constantly spam skills. Some of the skills would be tweak and adjusted as to balance the gameplay. But don’t shoot me if you don’t like it (I’m just the messenger) as this won’t be permanent. They want your feedback, so if you like it or don’t like it, just drop a message at their forums.
Offline “Actplay” or in simple terms, leveling up while logged out, this feature will no longer cost you an arm and leg (and kidney). It is finally affordable!
So, you wanted to try out your counterpart class? Or tired of your current class? No worries as you can finally change your class!
And for the players that spend, there will be more items to buy at your nearest one stop bazaar shop. And oh, they have adjusted some item pricing too!
The future of Genghis Khan is looking bright, with all these new patches rolling out; implementing suggestions made by gamers and with constant content coming out, this game is starting to look even better.

The Long wait is finally over! Level Cap 50 on March 29, 2012
The update will raise the level cap to 50 and new a dungeon, map and town will be added. Also, players who reach level 40 before the cap increase will receive a permanent unique set of accessories which will help them as they embark in a new journey in the Continent of Bartan – Land of Orpheus.
The Desert Frontier of Orpheus - Unlock the Mysteries Beneath the Sand
The secret land of Orpheus was buried under the ruins of the desert. As years passed, the once lifeless land eventually became an oasis. This oasis became the habitat of numerous monsters that roam freely around the land of Orpheus. The Rune that crashed in the middle of the desert during the Dragon Wars 1000 years ago was actually the lost town of Nilvan and the traces of it still remain intact. Monsters found in this map are from level 41-50.
The Lost Rune Arc of Nilvan – Ancient Knowledge in the New World
The original rune arc that crashed hundreds of years ago became the lost town of Nilvan. This arc was actually the main control tower that controls the essence of the mystical magic of the Purian race. Unfortunately, the once proud arc crashed down in the land of Orpheus. Players may teleport to this town through the Portal Stone.
Hatchling Paradise Dungeon – Into the Garden of Beasts
The level of Difficulty of this Dungeon is from level 40-45, where you can enter through the NPC located in the Orpheus map.

I can still remember playing Diablo with my friends via modem back in the days. Doing so was the coolest thing because internet wasn’t that fast/popular/accessible back then. With the dawn of online games, however, I must admit my Diablo addiction was put to rest.
The announcement of Diablo III’s release, though, somehow put the spark back. I missed the game all of a sudden.
