Will En Masse IP block based on region?
To keep the quality of service high for players within North America we have decided to disable IP addresses from which fraudulent traffic originates. We encourage players in these regions to participate on servers specifically designated for their area.
​

We block IP addresses used by hackers
En Masse will block IPs based on region. Asia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East are included on the block list. While we appreciate that there are players in these regions who would enjoy playing on En Masse servers, it’s unfortunate that the vast majority of Internet traffic we see from these regions are from cyber-criminals relating to account theft, gold-farming and other hacking behavior.

What about proxies?
Services that promise to improve your ping and decrease lag may sound promising, but they are frequently used by hackers and criminals who want to remain anonymous. Although we do not block them by default, a proxy or server host will be blocked if it becomes a popular tool for criminal behavior.

Playing TERA outside of North America
If you want to play TERA with friends in another country, here’s what you need to know:
You can play TERA on En Masse servers from North America, South America, Europe and Oceania.
En Masse has a license to operate TERA game servers in North America. This means that if you are in North America, South America, Europe (excluding Russia), and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia) you can play on En Masse Servers.

NCSoft started to officially introduce Guild Wars 2 in the Korean community lately and one of this is the pre G-Star 200 Press Conference where they have shown some basic features of the game. They have also showcased this character customization feature in G-Star 2011. We will be given many different ways to customize our character. We would still have some familiar hairstyles from Guild Wars I, but with the brand new Guild Wars 2 Character customization we will be having much more control on how our character would look like. They also introduced the new body type system which gives more details on our characters and makes it more unique. In addition to that, face customization is also in details including the sizes of every face parts. We can also see that all of them actually looks good and you will surely enjoy playing with your character.

 Any appname & namespace may do.

6. You’ll see the next screen, entitled “Get Started with Open Graph” — fill in anything you want (it doesn’t matter) in those fields under the heading “start by defining one action than one object for your app.” Click Get Started.

7. On this screen, do nothing except scroll to the bottom and click “Save Changes and Next.” Do the same thing on the next screen.

8. Wait for 2-3 mins, then Go back to your Facebook homescreen. An invite to try Timeline should be waiting at the top of the page.

And you’re done!

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added.  So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED!  That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse…carcinogens!  Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I… want to have more of it!

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right?  Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means… I would never doubt to have this most of the time!

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added – meaning it’s THAT natural, it’s almost like it’s plucked straight from the tree, it’s just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it’s got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives’ bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is ’cause it’s got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I’m gonna grab more of this and spread the word!

Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C’mon you just might be picked as the lucky ‘commentor’!)

Love,

Yes, you have heard that right! Philippines has its own 3d Film, RPG Metanoia. Wherein the main character will be dubbed by the boy that we have known as “Santino”, Zaijan Jaranilla.

Nico’s (Zaijan Jaranilla) hundrum daily existence simply cannot compete with the fantasy life he leads in the world’s most popular MMORPG-METANOIA! As the swashbuckling vagabond Zero. together with his friends: the spiritist Mang Ernie (Vhong Navarro), renegade chi-master K’mao, apprentice weapon-smith Sumpak, folk hero Ahdonis and the beast master Cassandra (Mika Dela Cruz), they explore Metanoia’s vast virtual landscape in search of untold on-line fortune and glory!

When a malevolent force surfaces and threatens to consume everything they hold dear, the fate of two worlds fall upon the shoulder of one very unlikely champion. One who must first find way to burst out of his shell and discover the true hero within-before it’s too late!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPG:_Metanoia

I’ve read some reactions about the film and it feels good to read positive feedback about it. I know that the quality isn’t good as the foreign 3D movies but it really proves that we Filipinos are being competitive.

Let’s support this another Filipino achievement, that will be showing on December 25, 2010.
