This was how Meryl Graham-Schlachterman, overall chairman of the 19th Philippine Advertising Congress (PAC), emphatically described the recently concluded industry event. The whole thing was industry-oriented, and had a great mix of fun and learning.  But definitely it was more learning than fun, as evidenced by the jam-packed content-driven sessions with participants enthusiastically listening, chuckling and taking down notes that they can bring back to their respective workplaces.

                    [Summary] => The local online gaming industry prepares for a new challenge. Built primarily around the phenomenon created by male-dominated, first-person shooter (FPS) games, the industry welcomes the emergence of a new generation of Massively Multi-Player Online Games (MMOG) with the launch of "Oz World," the debut offering of Filipino online game publisher Level Up!


Although primarily intended to target a predominantly female market, surprisingly, the game has also caught the interest of players of popular male-dominated games such as War Craft and Counterstrike.

"Oz is a virtual reality world with real-life people as players.  It is rapidly transforming the lives of many young Filipinos by making them more sociable and befriending  more people. The players  have the chance to chat with thousands more at the same time  in Oz than through any personal computer with an internet connection," said  Level Up! general manager and Oz game boss Ben Colayco.

                    [Summary] => The local online gaming industry prepares for a new challenge. Built primarily around the phenomenon created by male-dominated, first-person shooter (FPS) games, the industry welcomes the emergence of a new generation of Massively Multi-Player Online Games (MMOG) with the launch of "Oz World," the debut offering of Filipino online game publisher Level Up!


Although primarily intended to target a predominantly female market, surprisingly, the game has also caught the interest of players of popular male-dominated games such as War Craft and Counterstrike.
