Valentine's Day ala Perfect World



February is the so called month of "Love" as every 14th, we celebrate the Feast of St. Valentine, more commonly called as the day of lovers...

Love really happens everywhere we go, may it be in real life situations or even in game. Some couples I know started to get to know each other in game and ended up as real life partners, although some stories may not have a happy ending. The captivating magic of Perfect World helps bring people together.

Although having relationships via a MMORPG has its risks and consequences, a lot of us are still willing to face that challenge, in the name of love. Most of the time, how one story ends is as unpredictable as the drop rate of rares in game. But still, people willingly go through the cycle of falling in love, being together, break up and finding love again...

It's interesting to note what Love can do to people, even if they've just met in game. Some spends really a lot on their loved ones, in the hopes that their feelings will be reciprocated. And just like in any real life "love scenarios", in-game relationships have their share of dramas as well, there's the third party, the obsessive bf/gf, the poser/fakers (a lot of them actually), the submissive bf/gf, and a lot more, which I believe really adds spice to the gaming experience.

But hey, that's life as we know it, all of us have to undergo these things at some point in our lives, mostly not just once... We meet someone, fall in love, get our hearts broken, and move on... It's an endless cycle until we've finally manage to meet the one that we can grow old with, or maybe none at all...

But whatever it is, just like in any other game, lets just enjoy the moments, so that when we look back, there will be no regrets.

Wish everyone a good "Love" month ^_^

New Year, New Project



Hasn't been much active lately in game. Yeah, new updates came out, there's the Second Expansion (Age of Spirits) on which I am still trying to comprehend. Also, there are several projects pending, including the guide for 3rd Fairy (which obviously havent finished yet to the last part due to lack of time doing it in game).

Since I will just be casually playing the game from now on, I wouldn't probably dwell much blogging about guides, updates and stuff... This year, I've decided to focus more on the lighter side of things. Things that I enjoy doing in Perfect world, things that I love about the game.

So this new project of mine, called 2010 Perfect World Calendar, would probably focus more on themes per month, or probably something significant that happened to me in game, or just might be something that gives fun to my perfect world stay.

Above is my first offering for the year. The Month of January. Starting the New year right, I know most of us have made resolutions both Real life and In Game... No more 24/7 on cafe's to save allowance, will hunt for better equipments, will play less and chat more etc...

But what better way to enjoy the first month of 2010 than to spend it reconnecting with friends. Hence, the picture depicts characters and personalities I have been missing. Some of them already left the game, inactive or just logs in from time to time to chat.

Our online gaming experience wouldn't be complete if we don't have friends to share it with, and probably a few enemies on the side. Most of the time, these friendships that were made in game, translates to a stronger bond in real life. We might not be seeing each other in game anymore, but I know, that we will always be there for each other, no matter what.
