Yes I know that I have to post mostly GE-related stuff, however, this meme from LJ was interesting and fun to do.



Now, follow the instructions on how to create your future band album:
1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
If you want to do this again, you'll hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.

3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Go to http://www.randomwebsite.com/
The first ten links you end up in (minus the .com’s) are your 10 song titles.

I decided to make a video of the skills of the new RNPCs. And I made two versions: one using the music background of 300's original soundtrack - Fever Dream; the other using SFA's Fuzz.

Don't mind fraps.com (yes, I used fraps) and I'm still a newbie in making videos using in-game elements. ^^





And here are the stances + skills screenshot. Click on the thumbnails to zoom in.





Enjoy! ^_^

Your prizes will be sent as item codes via your email provided when you sent me the entries to esthesia075@yahoo.com

All entries submitted will be posted on the upcoming local relaunch of the GE PH website. Thank you and more power to all Pinoy GE players! ^_^

I've been browsing awhile ago and saw my dear friend and a GE player with a new fanart again, in which I really loved - that's because he drew my favorite RNPC: Emilia the Sage!



I got to submit his works to IAH before, so you guys would probably saw his talent already since it was recently posted at the GE IAH website.

Do enjoy another one of my photostory video - the aftermath of all the nationwide mall tours we conducted - the Globe Summer Gimik Games, so here it is:

There will be a server maintenance for Granado Espada on 03 July 2008, Thursday, 0900hrs to 04 July 2008, 0900hrs (GMT+8) for the implementation of V2.6 The Requiem expansion. Players are recommended to avoid activating time-based premium items during this period.

2. Remove All Your Items from Market Manager & Cabinet
Players are advised to remove all their items in the market manager and cabinet prior to the maintenance. Items in the Market Manager and Cabinet will be wiped out when we upgrade to the next version.

3. V2.6 Manual Patch / Full Client Download Links
If you had logged into Granado Espada today, you would have noticed that there are 5MB patches everytime you log in. In order to prevent server overload on the day of V2.6 The Requiem launch, mini packets of 5MB patches will be downloaded to your client everytime you open your launcher.

There are a total of 44 packets of 5MB patches to be downloaded that would enable your current client to patch to V2.6 client.

What happens if I have downloaded all 44 packets? Will I be unable to log into the current V2.4 version?
No worries. You will still be able to log into the current V2.4 version.

What happens if I have NOT finished downloading all 44 packets? Will I be able to log into the V2.6 version?
You will then need to download the V2.6 manual patch to get the remaining files. Take note that you should only run the manual patch on or after 3 July 2008, Thursday.
