Cabal II - China bootleg version

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 06:25 PM PDT


I am surprised when people still email me and leave me messages about me missing out on Cabal II for ChinaJoy 2011. For your information, I did not miss the game at all but I won't report on games from this blatant joke of a MMO company. This China bootleg "Cabal II" is developed by Moliyo, who had the rights to publish ESTsoft's original Cabal Online for mainland China.


After the agreement ended, Moliyo released information on this "Cabal II" and attempt to market it as the original's sequel. Despite Korean developer ESTsoft's best efforts to get the company to change the title and even threatened to go to court, we all know how the local government "protects" its homegrown companies.


So once again, this is NOT Cabal II from the original developer, but a lame attempt at trying to retain the player base of the original server. How does the graphics even look close to CryEngine 3's?

Digimon Masters Online - Closed Beta announced

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 06:21 PM PDT


(Official website) Originally scheduled to be published by WeMade Entertainment, Digimon Masters Online is now being published by Joyxmas instead. Joymax is known worldwide for its MMO, Silkroad Online and it has recently bought over the developer for Lost Saga Online.


In Digimon Masters Online, the character itself does not actually fight, but only his or her Digimon. And don't forget Digivolution (evolution)! Head over to the game's official website (link) now and learn more. Closed Beta starts 9th August 2011.

Dragonica Japan - New Origin Part II

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 09:39 AM PDT


Released a few days ago, the information was late due to ChinaJoy 2011 (again). So, Part II for the New Origins update for Dragonica Japan was teased, with the female Dragonkin (or Newt) getting the new Fighter class. A devastating melee class, the Fighter class comes in twos, where certain skills are done through a combination. One of the Fighter will be an AI and not controlled by the player. More info in my previous posts (link).


Players will finally get to kick Elga's (or Kyros) butt as well! This is a new 8-man raid dungeon where even the best equipped players will be severely tested...


And a few new high levels maps in the areas surrounding Elga's (or Kyros) dungeon. That's all in this short preview!
