RF Server Crashes Reduced

We’ve been slowly winning against the “War on Terror” on RF Online. These “terrorists” are the cheaters and hackers who crash the RF servers on purpose.

Recently, through our OWN initiative (without the help of CCR), we did something that reduced the server crashes. Of course, we can’t tell you the exact details otherwise the cheaters and hackers will use it against us. Although the problem is not totally solved, at least there’s a huge reduction in the number of server crashes.

I’m republishing the official statement that we posted at the RF site here for your convenience

1997 Ford Mustang 1:25 Part 1

 

After the weathering and damaging the Zaku, it’s time to do the opposite and have “bling-bling” paint for my new model kit – an AMT/ERTL 1997 Ford Mustang muscle car (1:25 scale).

One of the challenges in doing is kit is trying to be patient. There are a lot of paint layers and they each have to dry and cure before applying the next one. And, like a real car, you have to do perfect priming, examine the body and then do putty jobs, wet sanding and more wet sanding before the actual painting of the body can begin.

Rohan Race Feature: Dekan

 

Recently, the Rohan GMs have updated the Rohan blog and featured one of the most anticipated classes/race in Rohan Online – the Dekan.

The Dekan is also my character of choice, having played it in both the Rohan international servers and our internal testing here at the office. My first test build focused on “Zhen separation” which gives you more ATK speed with the trade-off of having smaller damage. But I found out that the skills without separation are better – giving you large amounts of damage especially with the FFS (ForeFoot Swing) skill.

Anyways, I’m reposting the article here for your convenience.

That, after the break…

The Power of Computer Literacy

 

Through casual games head Carlo Ople, I was recently invited to the anniversary celebration of TULAY, a project in cooperation with the OWWA (Overseas Welfare Welfare Administration), Microsoft, and the Blas F. Ople Policy Center.

The TULAY project, which started in 2004, initiates teaching computer literacy courses to dependents of overseas Filipino workings.
