The month of June is often dubbed as the "wedding" month. We have probably heard a lot of traditional beliefs regarding getting married at this time of the year. Perfect World Online (published by Level Up games Inc. in the Philippines) also took advantage of that and have tailored their events to fit the tradition.
The so called "Kasalang Bayan" Event, wherein the objective is to be the server with the highest number of newly weds, was conceptualized. Prizes include a level 8 Dragon ball to the couples of the winning server.
Another event that people are looking forward to is the Xia Feng’s Revolution The Quest to Supremacy, which rewards the top 20 "new" player accounts with the highest fame per server with 12 and 11 star dragon balls... Now ain't that cool...
They're really grand, however, looking deeper, one would immediately realize that only players with money to spend are the only ones really benefiting from this event. For all of these events, would really require players to spend quite a large amount of money for an online game. Wedding packages would cost one thousand pesos (PHP 1,000.00) per couple, while with the fame contest, an alternate way to boost your fame are the candies, which costs 300 gold a piece in exchange for 20 fame, roughly around Php 7,500.00 would give one 10,000 fame, but that still won't guarantee a slot to the top 20.
I just hope they can think of something more creative than that, something in which everyone will have a fair chance to compete... Oh well, a business is a business anyway...
