Hrin’s Updates: Last Episode Of ‘Days Of Our Speculating Lives’ Approaches!

Hi guys,

1. Start Your Download Now!

Woot! The V2.1.18 patch is available for download now! There are two options of downloads for you over here - the full game client of V2.1.18 or the manual patch of V2.1.18. Just a quick reminder though, it has been password protected because the server side V2.1.18 patch has not yet been installed. Any attempts to install the patch to your current client will result in game client corruption and your current Granado Espada client will be unable to run. We will release the password on 16^th August 2007, after we patch the servers during server maintenance.

2. Latency Issue Updates

We have conducted in-depth investigations into recent feedback of latency issues faced by GE gamers. By escalating the feedback to telecommunication companies and our appointed data centre, we were able to isolate a couple of issues related to the matter. While it will take more time to resolve all issues immediately, we have managed to work together with related companies in solving peering problems and routing inefficiencies.

We are very appreciative of the communities’ assistance in sending in trace route results to assist us in the investigation. We have provided an FAQ related to connectivity issue here.

It is our critical mission to provide a seamless gaming experience and we thank you for your patience over the past weeks.

3. Business Model Announcement Date: 10^th August 2007, Friday

I must say it has been an interesting experience. Reading the 1190 replies in the “sgGE P2P/B2P/F2P/ETC All Encompassing Thread” which has been viewed 49,607 times in the forum, that is. So, the wildly speculated business model will be released on 10^th August 2007, Friday. The suspense will finally be over, so stay tuned for the last episode of this long-running soap opera of ‘Days Of Our Speculating Lives’. Will we reach 50,000 views before the last episode of this hit series?

4. Weekly In-Game Events In August: National Heroes Month

Many of the countries in our region are celebrating their National Day for the month of August. In light of this, we will be hosting weekly in-game events for the entire month of August! The very first National Heroes Month event will kick off on Singapore’s National Day, 9^th August, 2007, Thursday. More details will be out over the next few days. Server maintenance for that week will be changed to 8^th August 2007, Wednesday, instead of the routine weekly Thursday, originally scheduled on 9^th August 2007.

5. X-Trap Conflict With AVG

Our game protection software, X-trap, encountered a conflict with the free anti-virus software, AVG Anti-virus. The X-trap patching executable was wrongly identified as a Trojan.

Having provided this feedback to the X-Trap developer, they have provided a patch and have also updated the X-trap to the latest version available.

We have tested and the said issue has been resolved. We are continuing to monitor the feedbacks and let us know if you still encounter issues related to X-Trap.

6. {LFFCC}: Looking For Forum Community Crew

We’re on the lookout for a community crew for our Granado Espada forums. Community crew is made up of members of the community who would like to help up with activities on the forum. This can be things like helping out newbies on the forum, organizing little forum events, starting interesting threads or replying others' questions etc.

Hence, we need helpful, friendly players and who are active on the forum. Humor is of course a plus point! If you possess all these things, you are the one we are looking for!
