MMORPG


Guild Wars: Eye of the North Trailer

Guild Wars: Eye of North, the expansion that will bridge Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2, arrives August 31. Pre-ordering players can join the preview weekend on August 24-26. Longtime players might recognize the official acronym for this expansion: GW:EN. Gwen, the charming little girl you meet at the start of Guild Wars, returns as a tough teen in Eye of the North.

Needless to say, I will not be available for speaking engagements on preview weekend. While we await that sneak peek, check out this in-game trailer narrated by Gwen herself.

Lineage II SEA Details

Philippine game publisher AsianMedia releases more details on their upcoming Lineage II Southeast Asian service:

  • The monthly subscription fee for Lineage II in Southeast Asia will be lower than $15, payable via prepaid card.
  • The Lineage II Southeast Asian service is set to launch in July, simultaneously in the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.
  • AsianMedia will pump another few million dollars into Lineage II servers dedicated to all three countries.

Good to know gamers across Southeast Asia will now be playing two top-tier MMORPGs from Philippine publishers, the other being Mobius’ EVE Online.
