mobiusgames > promos, launches, and games! (oh, my!)

July 16, 2008 · Comments 

With not much hoopla, mobiusgames made several announcements over the weekend. Turns out, their new casual mmo soccer game is now in its commercial run, and they’re running several promos for GONG!, Rakion, and MU Philippines. To quote the press release (courtesy of gameshogun.ws):

Starting this July, GONG! coins go up for sale on the mobiusonline.net website. Players can now convert their ePoints easily to GONG! coins simply by logging in to their mobiusgames accounts, and choosing the amount of GONG! coins they want to purchase.

For a short guide on shopping with your GONG! coins, the Katropa Konekt! blog has this entry (with peekchurs!).

Imo Ong, product manager for GONG!, also announced TWO (2!) exciting promos for “Gongsters” to take part of: The “Honor Roll” and the “Mission Olympics“.

And, taking a cue from “unlimited txting” services offered by local telcos, Rakion Chaos Force is now offering its “Power User Card” for as low as 15php A DAY! Dubbed as the “Rakion Rainy Days Promo“, “Rakionistas” (as Rakion gamers fondly refer to themselves) can now experience turbocharging their characters to the extreme… even if it’s just for a day.

I was talking to Kenny Ilagan, product manager for Rakion, about this recent promo and how this sounds PERFECT for gamers like me who can’t commit to the valid-for-a-month Power User Card, but would love to play Rakion for 48 straight hours during the weekend, and he was all humble about it. He said the mobiusgames GM’s (that’s Game Masters to you, chump) helped in coming up with this awesome offer. Great work, guys!

And over at the Lost Continent of MU Philippines, a needful things store opens its doors to Mutizens. The MU Cash Shop, which has been in operation for a couple of weeks, is starting to generate quite a buzz from players. MU Philippines has been subscription-based (or Pay 2 Play) ever since it first came to the Philippines, but now, with a “cash for items” store in-game, players can’t help but wonder if this is but the tip of the iceberg. Is MU going to go item-based? Hmmm…

Well, mobiusgames seem to be on a roll this year. After a brief period of silence, mobiusgames seems to be banging up quite a storm (hello, pardon the rainy season reference). Earlier, they already made an announcement about bringing a very, very mature MMORPG (Dekaron) to Southeast Asia, and now, with new promos, changes, and even new game titles, it looks like mobiusgames is on a warpath to let everyone know why it’s been here for 4 years now and they’re still playing strong.

Who needs a life when you can live one in-game?
