A letter from your CM:

I am truly sorry for not being able to please everyone; for not answering all your inquiries asap, or being able to attend all unofficial gatherings and do faction visitations. It's not true that I only focus more on this area, or on this player, etc.

I won't make any promises. I don't lie either (I am very bad at white lies). If ever you thought that you're being mistreated or that someone else is special than you, that is so wrong. Every GE player is my friend, my buddy in-game and perhaps in real life as well. Rumors about me giving items or anything rare in-game is false; I'm not a GM, therefore I don't create any special items or can easily fix your bug or can trace any actions that you do in-game.

I'm a girl-on-the-go, I usually go on errands and walk around the office, take small breaks like coffee, and have lots of paperwork and reports to do everyday. Thus, the idle mode and my always 'not-at-my-desk' and 'stepped out' status.

I'd go out in the rain (literally) just to attend big and even small events. I'd love to try to give freebies and those sought-item like angel wings everyday, but sad to say, it's very limited.

I'm human, I make mistakes, and I admit it. If ever you caught me in my gloomy mood, I'm sorry for that as well, but sometimes, if you're a bit pushy or aggressive, and also rude, I'd have to defend myself as well.

I didn't made this letter for you all to appreciate me or like me... I made this for you all to know me better. ^_^

My email: veya@granadoespada.com.ph and messenger is open for your comments. This blog was made for the GE Community, not for myself... it's for everyone to enjoy.

Till next post! ^_~

After a very long day at the GE Launch Party (and three sleepless nights for me), I went to SM North the Block for one of our major events: e-Games Evolution.

Featuring our hottest games: Ran Online, Supreme Destiny, Audition, O2Jam, Battle Position, Dreamville, and of course, GRANADO ESPADA!

9AM, and the crowd were already lining up for registration on the perimeter of the activity center of The Block

GE Launch Party - Day Event
The registration started shortly after organizing the line as we gave out 150 Divine Angel Wings to the first that were really there.


Some tried to kidnap me... hehehe, just kidding. Well, some grabbed me by my arm and didn't want to let go unless I answer their inquiry about the merchandise and the Limited Edition Box. @_@

Cosplayers also registered at the Cosplay.PH booth~


The Liberty's Wrath Finalists are also tense and excited to start the tournament already.


Finalists from across regions...

...and me with my laptop (lolz) not that I had the time to use it though. >_>

The program started with Ivee (Product Manager, my bestfriend and boss) and Francesca of Monster Radio RX 93.1 as the hosts of the day. They certainly grabbed the attention of the crowd even though some were already in-line at the merchandise shop. ^^


The Game Marshals were also busy that day making the final checking of the computers and the pre-made accounts as well for our finalists.


We also had mini-trivia and gave away Divine Angel Wings as well to those who can answer correctly. Since Hakkyu Kim wasn't able to come, he prepared a short sweet message for us, here's the video:

The crowd waiting for the registration... (the shot was suppose to be candid though)


It was raining hard early that morning, I was late for the pre-prod trying to get a cab from that heavy rain. (I just noticed most events are during the rainy season O_o) But then, after awhile, it stopped, and the sun was smiling again. Thus, it gave us the signal to continue on with the preparations for the day event.


Along with the in-demand jackets, here are some of the merchandise for sale. And oh, who were the lucky ones to be the first to buy from our shop and also the limited edition GE boxes? ^^

Here's a short video as well:

Sale for all the gals out there! (the characters, that is ^^); discussion thread here: http://forum.iahgames.com/ge/showthread.php?p=152572

Here we go again on my 3rd article on guidelines and how to's. Basically we're going to talk about filing a ticket properly, and know what are the things you need to file or post.

There are two tickets: Game and Service Feedback
You can find them at the GE IAH website under Support.

Game Feedback
http://ge.iahgames.com/en/support/crmgame_feedback.asp?sec=7&ssec=45



Click on the Infocomm Asia Holdings Login button, then you'll be prompt to input your username and password.


After you login, you'll be able to see the Game Feedback form, along with the hotline numbers of the Helpdesk for every country.

Categories: General
Server Issue
Technical
Character Issue
Recovery
Item Lost
Scam
Bug
Suggestion

There's also a guide on how to file a Bug Report: http://ge.iahgames.com/en/support/?aid=58&sec=7&ssec=61

You can also file your hack cases here, or inquiries on disciplinary actions, but do take note not to be very hostile or sending out vulgar language. We know that you guys are sometimes frustrated in your situation but do give them your respect as much as you could maintain your emotions. ^^;


Service Feedback
http://ge.iahgames.com/en/support/crmservice_feedback.asp?sec=7&ssec=45



Same as Game Feedback in logging in, you'll need to input your username and password.



For your complaints, concerns, feedback and suggestions, this is the place to go. However, other related cases concerning the GAME itself, please check out the GAME FEEDBACK section.

So anything else that doesn't fall on service (as defined already) must fall under game feedback. But for game inquiries, it's better to post first in the GE Forums rather than sending out a ticket. Also check the Game Policy for more details.
