In 2004, I had a chance to visit Korea.  During my visitation, I also met with some people from several game publisher such as Paha Schultz from NCSoft (half Germany half Korean), Luke Byung Ho Park from Neowiz, Michael Lim from Softmax (now he owns an online game publisher in Germany), and Min Kim from Wizet (yes, maybe you noticed him in North America as a person from Nexon, but he is actually from Wizet).  Their explanation about Korean gaming world really amazed me.  And although I knew there are professional gamers in Korea, but that’s the first time I knew about Lee Yun Yeol and Lim Yo Hwan (please do not misunderstand me, I didn’t meet them), 2 top professional starcraft players.  Celebrity in Korean gaming world.  Lee Yun Yeol earned a 3 years contract from sponsor worth US $ 830,000 while Lim Yo Hwan is known as the highest paid professional gamers in the gaming world history.  His annual earnings exceed US $ 300,000 with additional US $ 90,000 annually endorsement contract.  The starcraft league is aired in 2 major games dedicated channel TV, MBCGame and Ongamenet.  And those 2 guys really had a huge fans because of these conjunction.  Game became a serious industry that

After asking around to this site about this game and don’t find any clue about them, I decide to give a try to this game.  Cuz I thought, hey it’s just a 490MB file to download.  Won’t hurt much to try it anyway.  Btw, MOF is a F2P item mall based subscription game. 

Before I begin, some people are thinking that I hate 2D MMORPG because of my review about Ghost Online.  I have to say they are wrong.  I love 2D MMORPG.  I am a gamer even since Atari was come out as the only console game out there.  I even install some old RPG of SNES in my PDA.  So contrary to what some people think when they read about my review of Ghost Online, I love playing 2D MMORPG.  And so far, Master of Fantasy (MOF) has fullfil my hope that this genre can still produce a good title.

You can read about the background and some glimpse of the games in my previous article that asking around about this game.  And if you think that the characters seems to be similar with Pangya, a casual golf online game, you are right.  Because the character designer of both games is still the same team.

The graphic of MOF is cute and somehow I have a feeling that Maple Story 2 will have a serious contender because of this game

I have met some friends that asking about how come I found so many topics to write about in my MMOSite gameblog?  Some of them already join MMOSite for blogging too but wondering about what to cover.  I also found some blog asking about what to write.

Well the answers of that questions are not easy, I know.  But, here’s what I want to share to all of you on how I ‘found’ topics to write about.  I am not trying to teach you how to write or what topics to be written.  I am just SHARING.  If you feel that you don’t have any difficulties like what my friends mentioned above, just skip this article.  You don’t need it.

Purpose

Now ask yourself, what’s your purpose on writing in your blog.  Please refer to Layce’s article about the definition of blog, I’m not gonna repeat it in here.  But a blog is where you can express what you’ve think about something.  And if you have a purpose when you’re writing, you WILL EVENTUALLY find a topic.

Let’s take an example:

I have played so many games in my life, and yet sometimes I have my own opinion about games (certain or general).  But I don’t have that much chance in saying it to other people especially when they are having a different topics.  So th

I don’t really know how to categorize this article into.  It’s not a review nor a depth review.  I just want to write this, because when I’m playing Granado Espada, this is what I felt.  There are so many good review out there that you can read.  This is just about my feelings toward the game.

Granado Espada or Sword of The New World, is far from perfect.  It doesn’t have stat allocation so that the character can be differentiate to each other in terms of character type, it doesn’t have a unique distinctive battle system, they don’t prevent any RMT company spamming around, some of premium items are out of balance (lucifer wings for example, which make people refuse to enter the pvp and faction wars) and I’m really having difficulties when dealing with equipment because there is no way you can assign a hotkey for equipment change.  So yeah, they are far from perfect.  But when I play this game, one thing that I found is that the team behind this game really put their heart to make this game different and alive!

Why would I said that?

The graphic of Granado Espada, while it wouldn’t be the best graphic of today OL game, but I can see that the team behind this game, is paying really h
