Funeral is already over and my granddad is already in heaven. Forever he’ll be in my memory.Forgive me for my absence yesterday and last week. I have to give special attention to my grandfather during his funeral since I grew up with him living in our place, which makes me very fond of seeing him most of the time. Now that he’s gone, it’s hard to think of everyday knowing that someone close to your heart won’t be there when you want to see him. Oh well, work is the thing that matters now….
I was surprised to learn that the server went down yesterday (I did not have any idea since I was at the funeral). The management told me that it was truly unexpected, and we cannot do anything else about it. There were rollbacks to where the last best settings were made, and of course the experience modifier was reverted back to normal rate. Hays… why does the day have to begin this way? Anyway, we changed the rate back to 200% and the server seems to be running fine now. Stop with the bad news, now on with the more interesting ones.
We already passed an appeal to the dev team to create manual patches in the future. WonderKing used to have patches directly being downloaded from the launcher, so we are having a hard time to push this one out to the devs. Well, the management have seen the point of having a manual patch and the proposal is now in the hands of the devs. We might be getting feedback on this one in the next few days.
Questions are roaming regarding the Open Beta release of WKPH. To clarify on this:
We are not yet giving out an exact date of Open Beta. The release would depend on the bugs and the fixes our game should have. We want the game to be fully polished first before we hit the release, this is for the sake of both the game and the players to have a great experience when OB comes.
Speaking of Open Beta, some players have been asking for some type of “reward” for being in the game and testing WKPH during this CBT period. This has been brought to my utmost attention, and puzzled by whether or not give out freebies after CBT. We had a lot of talks about this, so here’s the deal:
We shall give out CBT Tester rewards when we launch Open Beta. Our reward is not much, but expect it to be exclusive to CBT players only. Now, we do had a lot of CBT Keys given away, and most of them were not even used. So we have a condition in this reward:
Only players who reached level 50 and above will get rewards. Unfair? It’s not unfair. Being unfair would be giving out these items to all players even though they just logged in and yet did not play. It would be too unfair to other players who spent their spare time playing and finding out bugs to help speed up our Open Beta. Okay, so that’s the condition. If you are already at level 50 or higher, you may send me an e-mail in this format:
CBT Test Account Username: (usrtestxxxx)
Character IGN:
Your proposed user ID in Open Beta:
Your proposed IGN in Open Beta:
Your main Character’s Gender:
Remember to place your character’s gender in Open Beta, since the reward is Gender-specific. We need both userId and IGN so we could compare these two if they match or not (to determine if you are the real owner of the character). E-mail these details to
erik.cordero@live.com with the subject: “
CBT Tester Reward”. Only level 50 and above players are needed to send this e-mail, and don’t bother asking, we know who is level 50 and who is not.
Now you have your rewards. We’ll see you in-game to answer more of your questions ^_^.
