The One About V3.4.14

Guess what? We've just started localizing V3.4.14. The tentative launch date is 18 June 2009. Still far to early to confirm if we can launch on that date, but for now, that's the date we are working towards, plus minus 1~2 weeks depending on how the goldmaster client turns out.

V3.4.14 will be a very exciting major update since it encompasses a new art direction. This time the direction is headed towards a more masquerade, cirque du soleil type of look and feel.

I haven't received the 'official patch updates' document yet but some of the more interesting updates that are likely to be in the V3.4.14 patch are:

1) A cat pet which generates Intensify, Lv.11 of Fortify, Lv.10 of Divine Bless Buffs and has healing capabilities

2) New RNPC - Helena, who was a vice-leader of the Circus Troupe and has every Elementalist’s stance (except The Elemental Lord), as well as her exclusive stance.

3) Mysterious Treasure Box of Premium Treasure Box has been updated:

I'll update more as we go along. Vietnam GE is likely launching its Closed Beta Test phase next month and has already launched their website over here.

Some Vietnam users playing on our servers expressed concern as to whether there will be IP blocks for their current accounts on our servers. As of now, I haven't heard any such thing and you guys are welcome to continue playing on our English servers. :)

I'll be flying up to Vietnam next week so I'll update more on V3.4.14 when I return. Drop me a comment if there's anything in particular you would like to know about for V3.4.14 and I'll pick a few questions to reply. I'll also be happy to hear your suggestions for the name of the next expansion since we haven't decided on it yet.

Oh wait! One last thing to update, we're having a blogging contest for Plantronics Gamecom 777 over here. The closing date is next Tuesday, 5 May 2009. Basically, it's an invitation for a product test drive of GameCom 777, the first surround sound gaming headset with Dolby technology for competitive gaming.

We are looking for a select group of bloggers who are gamers, has a keen audio sense, craves for a true 5 channel virtual surround sound experience, believes that headsets should be comfortable on the ears, even after hours of game play, likes to give feedback on their blog about GameCom 777.

If you fit the bill, write to us at iah.marketing@iahgames.com and include your full name, email address, mobile number, home address that we can deliver the headset to, and blog URL. 10 gaming bloggers will be selected to receive a Plantronics GameCom 777 headset for a free 2 weeks "test drive". If you love the GameCom 777 as much as we do, express exactly that in your blog before 5 May 2009 and you may just get to win this limited-edition launch kit!

Hi Hrin,

Version 3.4 in June is really good news!! Just wondering whether will version 3.4 client interface be updated to the new interface you showed us a few months back?

Hellena is a nice character. I suppose Ania would be featured as well.

Vietnam GE... seems like GE is expanding yet again. Wonderful news indeed. Thanks for sharing the news with us. You must be very very busy at the moment with all these. Take care and I hope that the circus troupe would be with us in due time. ^^

Thanks for the update Hrin!

hey ben, what are the errors you're getting?

Hrin said...

Thanks all for the comments. Unfortunately, I can't answer your questions till I get the detailed patch notes some time next week. Will update more in future blog entries and try to answer those questions then. :)

Re: Ben
Yes, it's F2P and the servers have merged so we have 3 servers. Let me know the error you got. Have you activated GE in the passport site yet? Email me at community@ge.iahgames.com if you are still having difficulties logging in.

I'm disappointed at IAH...you know why? Well i heard that jGE was gonna update to 3.4.16 while sGE is only goint to update till 3.4.14...if you wanna the reason behind that i think Hrin's the to ask...XD i see dollar signs in their eyes...XD

Re: Anonymous

Well actually, IAH doesn't decide which update we will get next. It is the game developer, IMC who decides which build we will get next. Don't get all paranoid there, my friend. :)
