New Rappelz Philippines Blog

I've been getting a lot of hits on my blog since I've posted some articles on Rappelz Philippines that I decided to open up a new blog dedicated to the game. The new Rappelz Philippines Blog can be found at http://rappelzphilippines.blogspot.com

Rappelz Philippines After CBT

appelz

With the success of Rappelz Philippines on its recent Closed Beta Test (CBT) Launch many Rappelz players have been asking what will happen next. Well, like any other Philippine online games under CBT expect for EagleGame to delete your Rappelz character(s) when Open Beta version is released. Yes, you heard it right. Your character will be deleted from Rappelz' Philippinne server. Don't fret though. This is a necessary procedure in order to ensure that enhancements to be incorporated by Rappelz developers to the game will not be in conflict with the current attributes of CBT characters. This will also eliminate bugs and will certainly make our gaming experience more enjoyable and convenient to us players. This will most likely happen on August 6 of this year.

Now for the good news. Although your Rappelz character is deleted, Rappelz players who are able to attain level 20 before the Open Beta Test (OBT) is entitled to keep their character's name and friends list. They are also entitled for free items on the OBT launching and will be carried over to the Official Game launching in the near future.

The next version, Rappelz Epic 7: Lost is due to launch on October of this year.

Screenshots from Rapplez Philippines

I've just tried out playing the new MMORPG game Rappelz. Well, what can I say? I really enjoyed it. The storyline is quite good and the quality of the graphics is really impressive. Actually, I quite remember Lineage from the setting at first but after playing around for a few days I found out that Rappelz is entirely different and there is never a dull moment playing it. Check out some screenshots I prepared.

Game Client. The game client's opening screen (Rappelz Philippines) downloading updates for the first time. See that big one right there? Quite big, isn't it? Uhm, no, not that one. I mean the round button. Click that to start playing Rappelz. 

Rappelz Login Screen. EagleGame users can login to Rappelz through this screen or they can register by clicking the "Sign Up" button. Since EagleGame uses a unified system of registration for all its users, players of Rappelz can also use the same username and password to log in to HighStreet 5 Chapter 2 or vice versa. This also applies to future versions of Rappelz, HighStreet 5 and all other future distributed by EagleGames in the Philippines.

Rappelz Character Classes. Philippine gamers are offered 3 unique character classes each with its own abilities and advantages: The Gaia class is a class in between the two other classes with moderate fighting and buffing skills; The Asuras are creatures of the shadows with high evasion and attack skills; and the Devas are the creatures of light with awesome magical abilities and healing skills. Rappelz players can also choose their character's gender which makes 6 character choices branching out into even more job classes as their characters levels up.

Gaia. A Gaia is not an imitation of anything. Don't also expect it to sing "Wala Na Bang Pag-Ibig?" 'coz the Gaia class is a warrior of nature, manipulating elements as their primary weapon. A Gaia starts with the Rouge job class with Mental Concentration as their main skill that enables them to deliver critical hits against enemies.

Asura. Although its name sounds like a Philippine version of a dog scavenging on trash cans, the Asura class is often the preferred class for those who want to play it fast while evading fatal attacks. Asura characters start as Stepper and rely heavily on Deep Evasion skill enabling them to deliver fast, powerful physical attacks while decreasing the possibility of an enemy hitting them back.

Deva. A Deva's not a female version of a hustler, uh uh uh uh uh hustler. Deva is Rappelz Philippine's holy class with powerful healing and defensive magical skills. The Deva class starts with the Guide job class and uses Minor Healing to assist them on their way to the next choice of job class.

A Rappelz Champion in the Making. A newly created Rappelz character (a male Asura) with a level 0 weapon (knife), basic costume and totally no skills.

Highstreet 5 Philippines Chapter II Unleashed!

Once I tested my friend's gaming I.Q. He's a boring bookkeeper and a certified pilosopo:

Me: What is the Philippines' most favorite dancing game?
Friend: Tinikling? It looks more of a game than a dance.
Me: What the f...? OK, what's the Philippines' 2nd most favorite dance game?
Friend: Highstreet?

With my chakra build-up at its peek (so as my blood pressure,) I'm not really sure if I should vanish him to another dimension or commend him for at least knowing that online games do exist in real life.  Nevertheless, Highstreet 5 was so popular back then that even a four-eyed number muncher like my fellow knows about it.

Then, life happened and the world moved on. I somehow lost my virtual groove, making some money so I can afford the so called "Filipino Dream" – to be a tambay with enough gadgets and money to afford never-ending nightouts and unlimited text loads. Good thing, in time for my “I-don't-know-how-long-Sabbatical” came EagleGame with two of the most exciting releases for 2010. First is their newest MMORPG action game called Rappelz and the long-awaited release of the Philippines "SECOND" most popular dancing game (based on my friend's perspective. of course,) HighStreet 5 Chapter 2 Philippines.
