Things Happen (Episode 2)

My first MMORPG was Ragnarok Online™ back on 2001, I was on Chaos server and when August came, I transfered to Loki.

Nah, that's me on a Private Server

Before Granado Espada, there's one MMO I loved so much. It's Pristontale, though almost everyone says it sucks, when you really love a game, you can live with its negative qualities just like in real life. I played on ePT as they call it, it's an international server where it is Free to Play until you reach a certain level (forgot if it's Lvl30 or 49). Then eventually, Pristontale came into the Philippines. I was one of the first 1000 Closed Beta Testers, Installers and some merchandise were mailed right through our doorstep, a letter of acknowledgement was included too with the mail. Well, I managed to save some screenshots of my Closed Beta experience in Pristontale Philippines.

Priestess' Healing Skill

The one and only emote in the game, just type "yahoo"

Well as every Closed Beta in every MMORPG, there's always character wipe at the end of the phase, quite sad about it (I barely leveled because I'd spent most of my time exploring). Argh, I lost my last minute of CBT screenshots because I've uploaded it on my Friendster that got deleted. Every Beta Tester should get over with it, I know.

Weee, Open beta! But what? pPT is Pay to Play on commercial launch? That was quite hard for me but PT was the first MMO that I liked so much, might as well shell out some money just to play at commercial launch. Just as almost every MMO out there, Grind... grind... and grind, days become ordinary and tiring also but THINGS HAPPEN you know. I met someone in pPT.

My Angel...

Yes, my ingame sweetheart. Her ingame name may sound unusual (baba37l). Yeah I'm aware of those shemales out there but sometimes I trust my intuition.

Delacroix and baba37l XD

Long story short, She became my in-game Girlfriend, we met in Manila (that was 2005 I think) and we're official. A lot questioned our relationship, not only because it's a long distance relationship and we just met in a MMORPG, it's because of our age gap. yes she told me back then that she's 26 but she's actually 29, I was 19 years old. So, 10 years gap but we didn't mind. As of now she lives with me here in Batangas after we lived-in at Manila for about almost 3 years. We still don't have a baby though.

Guess that's for now. Things happen, aren't they?
