IP e-Games to stage massive gaming event to mark second anniversary

-

IP e-Games, the revolutionary company behind the free-to-play system and publisher of MMORPGs RAN Online, Supreme Destiny and Granado Espada and online casual games O2Jam and Audition Dance Battle, will celebrate its second year anniversary with a huge gaming event geared toward gathering their players across all titles.

Dubbed as Domination II, IP e-Games pulls out all the stops to bring about the most explosive and electrifying gaming event of 2008, flying in gamers from the Visayas and Mindanao to compete with fellow gaming fanatics in Metro Manila.

Domination II will be an entire day of action-packed tournaments, exhilarating live activities and chock-full of great prizes and freebies to be given away. It will be held on April 6 at Function Halls 3 and 4 of the SMX Convention Center at Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.  

Among the anticipated happenings in this event is the announcement of IP e-Games newest title, CABAL Online, this year’s next biggest MMORPG. This New Age fantasy game that made a huge hit in Asia and America has finally arrived in local shores through e-Games. Players will be given the opportunity to experience the spectacular gameplay and other awesome features in this sought-after online game during the event.

IP e-Games VP for marketing Ed Pasion expresses his excitement for Domination II, saying gamers are sure to enjoy the activities in store for them, as well as several highly anticipated updates from their favorite e-Games titles.

“We will show everyone why e-Games remains to be the undisputed no.1 gaming company in the country today. Domination II will even be a lot bigger and better than last year’s celebration. As always, we want to thank all our gamers who have always supported us and have enjoyed playing our games since the beginning,” Pasion says.

Domination II will also highlight I-Play Inc., the joint venture by IP e-Games and GMA New Media Inc. (GMA-NMI), the digital media arm of GMA Network Inc. The gaming subsidiary will unveil fresh content for online casual game titles — O2Jam and Audition Dance Battle.

The previous year brought several milestones to the company, including the addition of Hakkyu Kim’s triple-A MMORPG Granado Espada. E-Games has also expanded to become “bigger, better and bolder,” which then became a catalyst to stage a series of roadshows nationwide called e-Games Evolution.

Among these accomplishments, e-Games titles have continued to grow and become more dynamic, a fact greatly owed to its active community base. 

This is precisely what Domination II is all about: its community. As a way of thanking its gamers for their continued support, Domination II will serve as the culminating affair for in-game tournaments held in all e-Games Evolution roadshows. Winners from each event leg will battle it out in Domination II, with awesome in-game items and other great prizes at stake.

Each game title will have its own impressive space, designed to personify the game’s distinct look and feel. Two hundred top-of-the-line PCs — the biggest computer set-up to be done in the country today — will also be made available not just for the tournaments but for freeplay as well.

Recognition for e-Gamers who have contributed to the community will also take place in this event. Guilds will have their own space, where they can meet up with their friends and fellow gamers to enjoy the booth activities per game.

Gamers and non-gamers alike are sure to enjoy the exciting mini-events per game. For instance, RANatics’ physical strength will be put to the test in the Big Boy Maso challenge, SD Warriors will take their chances of surviving a ride atop a makeshift dragon, GE players will engage in a heated duel contest, Audistas will showcase their dance prowess, while O2Jammers will belt out tunes in the live contests.

Domination II goes even beyond the staple of in-game tournaments as it promises a dazzling parade of cosplayers garbed in their favorite e-Games character. An on-the-spot costume building contest, a first in the Philippines, will be the highlight of the cosplay event, wherein participants’ creative abilities will be challenged to create an e-Games costume from scratch. The winning team will take home P10,000 worth of prizes.

Attendees will also be entertained with performances from the country’s top bands and celebrities such as Sugarfree, Rivermaya, Imago, Mocha, Francis Magalona, Iwa Motto and other GMA artists. 

Free bus rides will be available for the participants, with pick-up points at Data Click iCafé in Malabon, Marikina Riverbanks, Metropolis Mall in Alabang, and SM Fairview.

The event is presented by Globe and co-presented by Pepsi, Extra Joss and Redfox Technologies, together with partners Yoshinoya, Magic 89.9, philstar.com, Rudy Project, and Sterling Paper Products, and with the special participation of Cosplay.ph and Team Kyoudo.
