It was a pandemonium. It was cramped, but it was definitely fun.

Luna’s third event was held in A-venue, Makati Ave. It was really easy to find, plus lots of people came because we held our event inside this year’s Hero Nation. I, with GM Bangz, err Summer, went there at around 12noon. There were lots of cosplayers walking around and we, being the cosplaying world newbs, thought we were lost. Good thing our tickets say Hero Nation (lol) so, in we go to the Luna booth. Lots of familiar faces, kloeth was the first one I bumped into.

From left to right: The hot chinita, rockstarwannabe’s bro, rockstarwannabe, me, kloeth and.. GUESS WHO~!

JohnnyArcher, Menoitios, GIJOE, Wicked from 7thSeal. There’s V0sF0wS and yPgiRL06 too (The SF tournament cheaters! Tsk!) There’s too many to mention. I now recognize them because they are always present during our events (thanks much guys, we really appreciate your support! =]) I’ve heard that Menoitios and his guildmates were there as early as 6AM! o_o;; they wanted to be the first so they could register for the crafting challenge (winner gets +5 on any equipment they already have, yeah who wouldn’t want that, right?) So, they got all the four slots of the crafting challenge haha. We had new contests for this event (aside from the Luna tournament), we had Luna’s Guild Relay (for those who missed the howling race event haha), Luna’s crafting challenge, Luna’s Dating: IRL version (this was a disaster haha, details later). The net connection was kinda acting up so we had to wait for like an hour for it to be stable so we could start with the contests.

We started at around 2PM, first event was the Luna’s Crafting Challenge, there were four premade characters that had swords, EPS and ESW. Objective is to be the one who has the highest upgrade on the swords you have. Players were JohnnyArcher, Menoitios, Wicked and uhmm, I think it was Dakila, (sorry xD). They had their rituals of enchanting! Haha! JohnnyArcher needed to dance before clicking on the “enchant” button this was very effective for him, he got like five weapons to +4 without using his EPS. Wicked on the other hand upgraded like there was no tomorrow and ended up destroying all his swords (LOL! xD). Dakila was just really unlucky that day. So it was between JohnnyArcher and Menoitios. Menoitios managed to make two +7 swords! Amazing (this was because he turned off his monitor after clicking the “enchant” button, I guess that was really effective lol xD). JohnnyArcher was only able to make one +7 sword, if he could make it to +8 he would win, so he risked it, but to no avail (aww, too bad ) Menoitios wins~! (even if he already won the contest he tried upgrading one of his swords and he was able to make a +8! Cool~!).

Well I needed to smoke for a bit after that, so GM Bangz, err, I mean Summer~ facilitated the Guild Relay challenge~ objective of this game is to run and run and trade the costume to another character, and that other character needs to run again and find the third player and trade the costume again, the fastest group to do this will get a Shinigami Costume set (Yeah BLEACH costume FTW~!). The group that won is uhh, the SF tournament cheaters group! LOL! xD (yPgiRL06 and v0sf0ws and saitama). By the way, sorry saitama, Ashkenaz had to leave at 2PM because her shift starts at 3PM, don’t worry, next event I’ll make sure you’ll be able to take a picture with her (hahaha!).

After those two contests, we started the Luna Tournament, same rules as before, only this time fewer teams joined. They battled it out in The Dark Portal, using level 60 premade characters. There were two brackets, so two first place winners and two second place winners. After about 3 hours and a lot of shouting and tension in the tournament area, the first place winners are the “Arjhay pogi team” and “Legendary Scout PH”. Second place winners went to “7th Seal” and another “7th Seal” (yeheeees~ two of their teams joined the tourney~) Congratulations!

Oh, before I forgot, the Luna Dating: IRL version was cancelled due to lack of time. (the tournament ate up all the time for the contests xD). Besides there were only three girls who registered and there were ten boys, I mean come on, that would be scary for the girls, right? Haha! After all these, we spent our time taking pictures and chatting with players! The Otakuzine guild was present as well, thanks for coming guys~!

I got harassed, by the way, by this cute cosplayer/luna player girl who was asking for an additional prize for her cosplaying. (yeah, she cornered me for like 30 minutes and I wasn’t able to do anything about it =_=;)

Me and GM Bangz, (yes, GM Bangz!) got ourselves tattoed! (I wish, but it’s just henna) and after that we decided to take a picture with the hot chinita, and Nhen

Yes! The hot chinita was there(why hot chinita? See pics below! xD), if you happen to notice a hot chinita walking around taking pictures of bands and players, she’s the one I’m talking about. xD

The event was really chaotic and was really tiring, but in the end it was very much worth it. Thanks to all those who went to our event and I hope we’ll see each other again on our upcoming events~!

2 weeks before Hero Nation, I was told that I’ll be assisting the event along with Seto. I’m not new with events because my past job was in line with events too, BUT this event made me nervous for there might be gamers who might not like me, reason why I don’t want gamers to know who I really am. CEO’s, VP’s (Participants of my past work) versus the gamers of Luna. Is this a comparative testing?

I don’t want to go to the venue alone because I’m really shy to face the people. LOL. So I met up with Seto and we walked to A.Venue.

The event started 2pm. It was really cool to witness how the gamers are so much into LUNA especially when they we’re cheering at each other’s guild members, starting from Crafting challenge to Luna Tournament, scene that made Seto and I can’t help but laugh. Though the game still has an issue, the gamers we’re able to wait and we’re able to play and compete from each other. This made me realize that the gamers are cooler than my past participants. Haha.

I don’t want others to know that I am Summer at first. But I am doing the GM stuff, which made them call me GM. There are gamers who also ask me if I am Summer and I answered “Secret!” and both of us will laugh after, maybe they thought that I’m really shy to face them. And there is a certain gamer who knew who I really am, and I have no idea where he got the information and he keeps on calling me “HI GM SUMMER!” the whole event. In the end a lot of them knew me before they left.

Here are some of the funny moments.

So I guess Summer’s Secret was revealed in Hero Nation. ^_^ but only few gamers knows that it was me. And to all the gamers I met.. APIR![High Five!]
We’ll see you soon.

They conceptualized, they edited and they left us with lasting impressions. Judgment has been passed and the much awaited top three picks are finally determined for Luna Online’s video-making contest.

Out of all the entries, it was Aerith’s Tsukurimashou that stood out from the rest and rose to the top garnering a total of 87.50 points for its catchy, very animated and playful composition of a parody from an Azumanga Daioh: The Animation scene. Coming in second place with 68.84 points was Brokendagger’s heartwrenching music video for The Calling’s Wherever You Will Go. Placind third with 49.10 points was Warsaw’s creative rendition of the anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn’s opening with the music of LM.C’s 88.

Luna Online launched the contest dubbed “Luna Video Blog” to challenge its community of gamers to tap their artistic skills and create a stirring video featuring Run Up’s premier title. The mechanics of the contest are simple: participants must create a video that shows Luna Online’s game features such as dating, farming and fishing. It must also show in-game items and the game’s community like friends, guildmates, and lovers in a 5-minute maximum length video.

Submission of entries began on October 1st ’til the 14th, while voting started on the 15th until the 30th. Entries were judged according to this criteria. 50% of the votes from the GMs and Run Up Admin, 20% from the Official Forum Poll and 30% from the Total Youtube Views.

The entries to the contest varies in content and style. Some took the opportunity to make a Luna Online basic class info, while some made Luna Online trailers that scream out the cuteness and the fun-factor of the game.

In the end, it was still Aerith who won the hearts of the people in the forums and the top video views on YouTube. The catchy Tsukurimasho video helped Aerith win an Armor Set +6 of choice [Flamelist's Set (Robe), Royal Guard Set (Heavy Armor), or Cross Belt Set (Light Armor)] + 2000 Luna Game Points. Brokendagger and Warsaw also received an Armor Set +5 of choice + 1000 Luna Game Points and Armor Set +4 of choice + 500 Luna Game Points, respectively.

More contests await our dear Luna players. If you didn’t make it to this contest’s deadline, then watch out for more activities next time. Play, have fun, win and be featured! Watch out for our announcement of the first winner in our Luna Online’s Win an iPhone contest next time! Til then~

There’s something about October 24 that made me want to share the experience as a GM. I attended the second Luna Online mini eyeball and tournament. Venue was somewhere along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City. It was a bit hard to find so I expected that only a few players would turn up at the event.

I, along with the Lady in a Blue Dress (though she wasn’t technically wearing a blue dress this time), arrived there at 1PM–the computers were already set up and some of the players were already having fun playing the game. I saw some familiar faces in the crowd: GIJOE, Wicked, JohnnyArcher (SM the Block event first place winners! MissLead wasn’t there though)… Apologies to those I can’t remember xD. They greeted me when they saw me and it somehow made me smile. I never thought that I would be remembered by players and it gave me a nice feeling.

The first thing I did was to get the tournament registration papers, stand in the middle of the venue for all the players to see and then said the magic words: “Tournament registration!” It got the players attention and flocked to where I am to register. They wrote down their team information to be able to be able to join the two-part tournaments. It means that we have 16 slots open for teams who wanted to join. The first batch consists of 8 teams who will battle it out for the first and second prizes. Same goes for the second batch. The first batches’ winners were Team Banahaw for the First Place and won a +9 weapon of their choice (they chose Rulebreaker and Glory of the Diren). The team lead by BossChippu won Second Place and got a +7 weapon of their choice (they wanted Kiyoma’s Bow, Cinqueda and Glory of the Diren). In the second batch… Arjhay pogi got 1st place and was able to get a +9 weapon for his team (Glory of the Diren, Kiyoma’s Bow and Cinqueda). The 2nd place winners was the team lead by VosFows, they won a +7 weapon of their choice (Kiyoma’s bow and Glory of the Diren were the choiced they made). Congratulation to you guys!

I was really worried with the lady in the blue dress, I left her sitting in a corner while I was fascilitating the tournament (So sorry!! xD) Good thing ate sales lady kept her company, they were selling Luna mugs and Luna shirts for only 150P each! Thanks to all those who bought mugs and shirts! Wear it next time you go to our next event. Yup! There will be more… and I can’t wait to be there (with the Lady in the Blue Dress!). The tournament was really fun, but in the end, I was worn out from all the excitement (Then I saw Nhen constantly waving a “[GM] Seto’s Fans Club” banner; thanks dude!)

Thanks everyone for coming! I hope you all enjoyed the event like I did. Till next time~
