Preparations for WKPH

It has been a rough four weeks; some players might not know that. But here in our work, well, not all things have been going so easy. First off when the bad news came up that WKPH is delayed due to some unfortunate situations. It was a great setback indeed, but of course, we have to face the music. Players might not notice this, but I also want the game to be released as soon as possible. Why? I have tested this game of course, but I also want to play it. Not playing as a GM of course, I want to play this game too as a normal character. This type of work makes me miss the good ol’ days where I don’t have to think of anything but play all day long. Hay, have to go back to reality, this is work, not a game. Anyway, back to the topic. Now, not that I just want to play this game, there are also good preparations planned for WKPH.

Not that I am extremely proud of it, but ever since I was doing this work for RyuSoft, the company has made a pact that we shall give out the best service that we can provide. It was the legacy of the company back in Korea, and we plan to maintain that kind of treatment to players here in the Philippines. Buti na lang ako kinuha! Nyahahahaha! Kidding aside, we want the game to work and at the same time maintain the loyalty of our players. Well, right now the devs are working overtime just to hasten up the tweaks they are doing within the game. It’s very difficult kasi they’re not just working on the Philippine server, but the NA server as well. Good thing the NA server is from another company, while us, we are RyuSoft. The advantage is we can have exclusive items that NA doesn’t have. If I may recall, [GM] Noir wished to have exclusive items for our server like quail eggs, fish balls, tapsilog, and maybe some weird pets. Well, those are not just wishes; they are actual plans for our server. But it may take some time because right now there huge fixes to be done. The truth is, I’m proud of this server. Why? Because we have the latest version of WonderKing. Would you even believe that the Korean servers are still on version 1 and just adding small patches to make it version 2? While in our server, all of the changes will be implemented with just one patch. The bad news is, we are the second English server of WonderKing (first is NA of course), so there are major translations going on (don’t underestimate the translation process, some words actually have double, sometimes triple meanings even in the Korean Language), and since version 2 is a huge patch, everything must be tested first so that there would be no major glitches inside the game (as what the management says, everything should be perfect).

As for preparation, of course, we have to handle that. In CBT alone, we are already planning a lot of events just to make all of our players happy. Within a short span of time we have to maximize every event that we could imagine. Events like the highest leveler, screenshot event, and a “bring me event” are just a part of what to expect during CBT. We are thinking of more and more events for you guys to enjoy. And since our Closed Beta will be in a free registration format, everyone may be able to join in and have fun.

Hmmm, it seems that I’ve already said a lot about our plans
for the game. Well, all I can just say is wait till we see what’s inside WKPH.
You’ll never know what to expect with us around! *teehee!*
