The One About IAHGames Carnival

Great news for GTA4 fans! There's gonna be an IAHGames Carnival event taking place at Funan DigitaLife Mall Atrium and the first 2000 who turn up get to redeem a set of not-1-but-8 Limited Edition GTA4 posters.

The dates of the carnival are: 10 June 2008, Tues, 1pm-8pm and 11 June 2008, Wed, 11am-8pm.

Now, besides GTA IV and Top Spin, we will be featuring upcoming games Top Speed and Dragonica at the IAHGames Carnival. Register free on the spot for direct CBT access to both games!

There will also be a sneak preview of upcoming Granado Espada Patch 2.6 content, as well as an hour of free-play at IAH iCafe.

Don't miss out!

Date and Time : 10th June 2008 (1pm to 8pm) /11th June 2008 (11am to 8pm)
Venue : Funan DigitalLife Mall, Level 1, Main Atrium
Available Games : Top Spin 2, GTA IV, Top Speed, Dragonica, etc.

We'll be handing out freebies and prizes throughout the day!

Meanwhile, I've been recommended to use a Digg function for each of my blog entries. But I have no friggin idea how these things work!? Somehow I have a sneaking suspicion that what I have just done is absolutely wrong. Will some kind soul out there give this noob a tutorial walkthrough?

P/S In response to a comment made on my last entry... yes! The loading screens in V2.6 will finally be different!

The One About Top Speed Closed Beta Registration

Murphy's Law.

When it rains, it pours.

I must say that the past month has been nothing short of a Nightmare-on-Elm-Street-I-know-what-you-did-last-summer horror flick. Various issues and problems all happening back to back. Nevertheless, we are in the midst of putting out fires and solving them, one at a time. So please bear with us in the meantime.

With all the recent server issues and bugs, IMC has their hands busy resolving them... which means that, unfortunately, there will be a delay in the schedule for V2.6. We are re-looking at the timelines right now and likely to announce a date pretty soon. On the bright side, the beta version of the V2.6 client is scheduled to be installed on our test servers this Friday, 30 May 2008. Once we have done some initial testing and if the client isn't too buggy, only then can we set a date for the launch of V2.6 The Requiem.

Meanwhile, I do have my hands full with preparation for our upcoming casual racing game, Top Speed! The CBT registration has just been open so sign up early over here: http://topspeed.iahgames.com to avoid disappointment! IAHGames gamers will always have priority for all our CBT signups, so no worries there, if you are a current IAHGames passport holder.

For guaranteed access to the CBT for your other non IAHGames passport holder friends, there are some gaming sites that are giving out CBT keys as well:

MMORPG.com
MMOSITE.com
ONRPG.com
MMOGamez.com
Arenammo.com.br
CGE Network (Many thanks to Daniel Aleksovski for being so supportive and helpful!)

I wanted to end this blog post but it just feels weird and wrong due to my 'no peekture no talk' principle in life. Since I haven't posted a single peekture in this blog entry, and no blog entry is complete without a visual, I'm gonna give you guys a sneak peek of the upcoming new website skin design for V2.6! Enjoy!

P/S: We are gonna get a new V2.6 forum skin as well!
