Months ago, the announcement of a new movie for Warcraft came. Today, as it started to create its buzz in the net, it seems that this Warcraft movie now has a title.

“Warcraft: The Rise of the Lich King”

To be honest, it’s the most popular mythology of the franchise. Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne uses the same storyline. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King obviously continued and re-lives the same story. “Arthas”, the book written by Christie Golden, now New York Times number 16 on the list of Best Selling books is also derived from the same story.

This brings hope that maybe not all movies based from games are crappy. The IMDb update of the movie page looks promising already anyway.

For now, I just really can’t wait for 2011 to come.

Check the Warcraft: The Rise of the Lich King IMDb page here.

The rumors of Worgen and Goblin being included in the next expansion for WoW has been roaming the net for more than a month now.

Today, Blizzard confirms the rumors with the announcement of the next WoW expansion called (you guessed it right) CATACLYSM.

I really don’t have anything to say about it now but WOW since it’s like I will have a reason now to play Alliance (Worgen) since the Goblins aren’t that attractive for the Horde.

This is something to look forward to for those hibernating.

Level Cap increased to 85

This can be a bad news for those who hates leveling but leveling in WoW is actually the easiest part of the game. As long as this is not 10 levels to travel back to the Classic Zones being remade, everybody is happy.

For me, I’ll just farm those gears for now.

Timbuktu of Bonechewer here. Signing off. (or logging in to WoW)

Here’s the Debut Trailer at Blizzcon 2009

If you have played Warcraft more than 10 years ago and still playing it today via DoTA or World of Warcraft, then this good news suits everyone of us.

Yes, you’ve heard / read my title right. A Warcraft movie will come very soon.

Earlier, Blizzard Entertainment had a press release with the title: BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT® AND LEGENDARY PICTURES SIGN SAM RAIMITO DIRECT UPCOMING WARCRAFT® MOVIE

To quote from the WoW website:

We’re pleased to announce that Sam Raimi, famed director of the blockbuster Spider-Man series, has signed on to bring the forces of the Horde and the Alliance to life on the big screen in the upcoming live-action film based on the Warcraft universe. Check out the press release for all of the details!

I can imagine now how a great storyline will fit into a movie. I wonder too who the cast will be.

This is surely one nerdery glorification that I will watch and play.

China Business Headlines recently posted in their site that a new MMO from Perfect World (Nasdaq:PWRD) is developing a new 3d western fantasy MMORPG. The news is from Perfect World’s senior employee according to 17173.com.

Here’s the complete report:

Online game company Perfect World (Nasdaq:PWRD) is developing a new 3D western fantasy MMORPG, Project Em, for the global market, reports 17173.com quoting a Perfect World senior employee. The game was jointly developed by well-known production teams from several countries, not Perfect World’s Zulong or Wanju game studios, said the report. Project Em has not announced a release date.

We’ve been playing Rohan Online since August 2008 in its International Version and recently, Level-Up! Inc. has launched its Philippine Version in Closed Beta Testing.

Now we want to share on how to allocate those stat points and where to put the skill points for the Human – Guardian Knight build. I myself have been playing a Dekan character since the start and I only started using a Guardian Knight last December.

Guardian Knight Build

I’m using a dual-wield Guardian Knight with a sword as the main weapon and a dagger in place of the shield. Remember as well that if you want your Guardian Knight to wield 2 weapons, the dagger should be in place of the shield slot.

Anyway, my stat has been distributed to 3 STR: 1 VIT every level.

3 STR: 1 VIT build gives me enough strength to deal damage and the VIT, of course, gives me HP and defense.

Skill Point Distribution

As for the skills, here’s how I distributed them.

5 Frozen

1 Taunt

5 Rising Might

5 Sharpen Blade

1 Invoke

Only to those skills. Yes. I only distributed 17 points out of 50 in the Knight class. I saved the other 33 for the Guardian Skills which are the following. For the Frozen, I chose Frozen since it slows down monsters and other players.

5 Sword Mastery

1 Taunt Roar

5 Rush

5 Crazy Strength

1 Final Crash

5 Crazy Standing

1 Blue Drain

5 Order

5 Heavy Weapon

5 Crit Aura

1 Roha’s Blessing

5 Knight Symbol

5 Stone Skin

These skills gives me superb offensive power and at the same time defense to survive most of the PVE and PVP attacks.

If you think I can improve this build farther, feel free to leave a comment and hopefully you learned something here.

Thanks.

As most of you have already noticed, we gave a few Rohan Philippines Closed Beta Accounts on Plurk and here. My stock of accounts has been sent already to those who left a comment here at chinoyray.com and I would like to say thank you to those who joined.

Rohan Philippines – CBT Coming Very Soon

Of course, if there are CBT accounts already, that means that the Closed Beta is almost here. So watch out for the announcement at our official site – http://www.rohan.ph

More CBT Accounts

I know. I know. A lot you are still asking for Rohan CBT accounts. Once I get my hands on another set of accounts, I will give them away. Maybe at my personal blog, my Multiply or at Facebook.

If you’re a gamer, there will always be this question in your mind whenever a new OS comes out..

Will my favorite online game work with this new version of Windows?

To name a few, well, almost everything that works with Vista and XP will and definitely should work with Windows 7. However, not everybody knows that Rohan Online or Perfect World does work with Windows 7.

What do I do if my game did not work with Win 7?

First is to run your game in compatibility mode.

Running your game in Vista or XP Sp2 mode will do.

What if running in compatibility mode did not solve the problem?

Right now, any game that has a GameGuard Hackshield on it, like most mmorpg, has an issue with Windows 7. If changing the compatibility mode did not help, I suggest you wait for the official release of Windows 7.

This new OS is currently in its Beta1 stage and it will take a year to get it to the final version. Playing in Vista or XP is still currently the best thing to do.
