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~
