How to purchase E-cash via Load Central

We have noticed inquiries of some players as some Load Central retailers are still not aware that WonderKing pins are already being sold via LC. So, while Load Central updates their website on the product code, we shall also post a How-To tutorial so you guys could inform other retailers on how to Top-up WK pins.


Step 1

Upon your purchase, inform the retailer on what top-up you want to buy and for how much. In case retailers are still not aware that there is already Wonderking E-cash on Load Central, inform them the product code: WKING. The retailer then keys in your purchase to be sent to Load Central Number. You should also provide them your mobile phone number as they will send your pin as a text message.

As an example below, this would be the retailer’s format in sending the purchase to LC:



*You may only purchase E-cash depending on the following denominations:
20 E-cash
50 E-cash
100 E-cash
200 E-cash
500 E-cash


Step 2

Once the message has been sent, the retailer should receive a confirmation message that they have received the request and included is the Trace number if in case the pin did not reach your mobile phone.



At the same time you shall also receive a message containing your E-cash details (your card number and pin) which you can use to top-up WonderKing.



Just in case that retailers still are not aware of our partnership with Load Central, inform them of this tutorial, and don’t forget to inform them the product code WKING!

Top-up via Load Central!

Greetings WonderKing Fans!

We have noticed all of your concerns regarding the availability of our top-up cards. We believe that working out on physical cards alone cannot fulfill all of our players' demands and something should be done to hasten the process of delivering E-cash to or players across the country. We know that something must be done and should be done correctly, something that could speed up E-cash availability, and at the same time, ease the process of buying E-cash pins to our players.

Due to high public demand, Ryu&Soft has officially partnered with Load Central to provide top-up pins to our players nationwide! You may now get your WonderKing E-cash through your nearest Load Central retailer! This service has been provided for you, our dear players, to get your E-cash fast, and without any hassle!





Retailers: The WonderKing E-cash product code is WKING

Denominations:

20 E-cash = WKING20
50 E-cash = WKING50
100 E-cash = WKING100
200 E-cash = WKING200
500 E-cash = WKING500

We shall further post instructions on how to Top-up via Load Central in the forums.

Final Statement regarding Third Party Programs

Attention WonderKing Players

Over the past few days, we've been constantly reviewing players and their activities online. We have found out that more and more are using these third party programs by the day. You have been informed very well that using these kinds of programs are illegal, and in which any way, could not be tolerated.

We are now giving out extra attention on this issue, and we shall give out a firm grasp on these players. You very well know that you are using programs that could ruin our game and the company, and you should all know the circumstances that you are putting yourself into. Your actions could lead you to banning of your accounts. Persisting to this issue will also lead the company to press legal charges for damages as this case is indeed crucial to the growth of the company. We shall take no excuses in this matter as we have the right to delete accounts or even guild just for the safety of our game.

Starting immediately, we shall implement an auto ban system for those who hack into our game. Hackers shall be banned almost instantly and we shall follow with removing you from the rank list to give way for legitimate players. Your experience, level, and stat and skill points will be stripped down to zero, your zed will also be deleted from our system.

This serves as your final warning. Once you use these kinds of programs, you might as well know the consequences you are taking upon.

WonderKing Management

Bounty System Enforced

We believe that our world is in trouble again, and this time, the enemy is within the community itself. We have been alerted by the new outbreak of hacks inside WonderKing PH and we are now on the move in preventing these cheaters from further ruining our game. These programs are illegal, and everybody should be aware of the circumstances once caught. We shall do our best to prevent this issue to grow and be the cause of our game's downfall. We now ask our players to be vigilant, and help WonderKing Online in its time of need.

We have already reported this matter to the developers for reviewing the situation and the recommendations and / or the fixes they could apply asap. We cannot assure how long will it take for our devs to fix the issue, but with the problem growing by the minute, we cannot just sit down and wait for it to arrive. Instead, we shall make things from bad to good but we shall require all loyal players' participation.

Effective immediately, all players who use third party programs shall have a bounty on their heads. All players may report these cheaters in our forums and must provide at least two or more screenshots to get the bounty.

Rules:

1. The screenshots should not be edited.
2. The screenshot should include the hacker himself visible in the picture (for invisible hackers, just wait them out, they will eventually appear in your screen)
3. Also please type in the Hacker's name, the map where the hacker has been located, the time of hacking, and his mode of hacking
4. Players who caught a hacker and posted it in the forums must also get two (2) confirmations from other players. This way, the community could confirm that the player is indeed using third party software.

We shall investigate the said offender immediately, and will be brought to justice. Once proven, and the hacker has been banned, the player who posted the evidence shall attain a +20% experience bonus ticket which he / she may use for 7 days.

You may receive more than one of these Experience tickets. The more hackers you have seen, the more experience tickets you may receive. The experience ticket's duration shall only run after removing it to your gift box, so you may stack your tickets and gain more by just helping the game get rid of cheaters.

Example:
You caught 5 hackers = You get 5 pcs. +20% items

You may post all of your screenshots in Luke's Deadlist inside our forums. Cheating in this system could lead to banning of accounts.

The aim of this project is to let the community be aware of such programs and let the management and the community work hand-in-hand in the fight against these programs.

WonderKing Management

Statement regarding Experience Bug

The +50% level up bonus experienced by everyone yesterday has brought our attention. Our development team has investigated this issue last night and was stopped at around 10:00 PM. The management has discovered that the bonus everyone encountered last night was a system flaw, and was due to the irregularities between experience and level of the player. The calculations for experience points were irregular and treated as a bug. The developers already fixed the issue and the game is now back to normal.

We would like to inform everyone that there will be no rollbacks. Since this is a bug encountered by our system, we shall instead treat this incident as a free bonus experience to all players. We would like to reach out our sincere apologies and we shall conduct an additional 150% Drop Rate bonus to our server today from 2:00 P.M. until 5:00 P.M. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Player Blacklist - March 11, 2010

We have confirmed one player who turned positive in using third party programs.

SilverStrife

The player was caught cheating in the Mission Ranking in Abeldras Temple. His account is now blacklisted and we are still under careful watch in case this player comes back.

As we have told everyone, we shall not tolerate any form of third party software. This is considered cheating and we shall apply necessary action to offenders.

We shall continue posting the names of these kind of players here, in Facebook, and in our Official Blog as a form of shame to these players.

Vinchy’s Request

Months have passed since the maintenance of the guardian stones all around Esiore was done. Vinchy, as one of the smartest citizens of Francis, took some time to research about the durability of the Guardian Stones. Terrible news arrived as Vinchy told [GM] that the Guardian Stones are already in a critical condition and must be repaired as soon as possible. Vinchy has handed the list of materials needed in fixing all guardian stones to the [GM]s in order to start the repair. Due to the number of materials needed, it may take time for the [GM]s to gather the needed items. It is now up to the players to help them gather these items to hasten up the process of fixing the stones or terrible things might happen in the world of Esiore.

The WK [GM]s shall give a notification of the start of Vinchy’s Request in-game. There will be 30 materials needed by the [GM]s and they shall require those materials within 2 hours. Players are free to choose just one type of item they want to bring to the [GM]s. They must bring the right number of materials chosen to the right [GM]. The event is on a first come, first serve basis. Once the item has already been submitted, other players may not submit the same item again.
This is all about luck and speed. So all you guys should be ready when the surprise event comes!


Special surprise gifts!

As we start on distributing e-cash to all corners of the country, we shall give you a free taste of our item mall by having three hats which you can use for up to seven days!

Update March 5, 2010

Ok, the level cap has been raised, and the npcs have their speeches back. Sorry we cannot fix everything at the same time, some bugs are difficult to fix. The skills have their names ready by now, I spent almost overnight working for those skill names, that’s ready, just have to wait for the next patch for it to be installed. The other bugs were also submitted already since last week, devs are now working to do fixes for that part. Little by little, we shall eventually have a full 100% WonderKing. Ok, we’re done with that part, now time for other news.

You’ve seen the post about the 200% experience. That’s right; there will be a 200% experience gain later at 5:00 P.M. Now you’re just about to experience the first part. Well, a player named enzo talked to me last Tuesday regarding on when the Path to 1000 reward will be. He also appealed to lengthen the 300% experience to 4 hours instead of two. I made a deal with him that I will extend the 300% experience IF he has gained at least 200 votes from players in the forums and in our fan page. Sadly, today’s Friday, and they did not manage to reach that 200 vote mark. Well tough luck, but I am too kind enough to give you all a chance. So here’s my final verdict: The 300% experience will last for three hours, just for giving a consolation for those who voted.

So guess what? You already have a 200% experience event today, and tomorrow, you will have 300% experience gain! The exp event today will start at 5PM to 8PM (3 hours). And tomorrow, the 300% will be starting from 7 PM to 10 PM! Now you have reasons why you are not going out on a date with your girlfriends / boyfriends :lol:!

And oh, by the way, we shall automatically set all those experience events so there will be no preliminary announcements before the start of the event. So you guys better make sure you are already logged on before the event starts! Adikan mode na! Happy weekend everyone!

Wonder-port Fansite Update

We do appreciate everyone who helps out in spreading the word about WonderKing. Wonder-port is one of those sites who helped us in getting WKPH known. Yes they are a fansite about WonderKing, and they also support other versions of WK.

We saw this site having a potential to be one of the most informative sites about Wonderking and we believe that it is making its name known for quite some time now. They have recently upgraded their site to version 3, now with a lot of features for all WK players to enjoy.

In the index page alone, they have already shown their dedication due to the news and updates players may read. They also provided lots of interactive features like their guild system, in which players may create their guilds with full customization options and others may look for guilds where they want to join up. More apps, including a signature maker, a toolbar, and even an Iphone app for those players who want to get the latest updates directly on their phones.

For those who want to check out their site, you can do so by going to http://www.wonder-port.com.
