Wazzup Pilipinas!

Netmarble Games Corp., the fastest-growing mobile game company worldwide, announced today that its mobile MMORPG Lineage2 Revolution will hold its first castle siege in the near future and run events ahead of the arrival of the most anticipated contents to the game.

The castle siege is a massive combat over a castle among four clans, including one defender clan and three attacker clans. The clan, who first carve the holy imprint, will become the lord of the castle, and be rewarded with substantial benefits, such as global buff, local buff, conquer shop, tax collection, and compensation for participation.

The castle siege is expected to reinforce players’ MMORPG experience through forming alliances and feuds among clans, while strategically installing geographical structures. Netmarble will help the players get accustomed to the castle siege by running pre-season for the first two weeks.

Lineage2 Revolution will also conduct various events having the players gear up for colossal clashes among the clans. From December 8th to 15th, its sign-in event will present popular items twice a day, such as three Grade SR Exclusive Equipment Selection Box, a Grade R Rare Exclusive Equipment Selection Box (Blue/Red), five Maphr’s Protection, and nine Unconfirmed Recipe.

Meanwhile, Netmarble will allow the players to create or upgrade their Grade UR equipment by giving 30% discount or a free draw on 10 Material Boxes for UR Crafting (+1 Bonus) in every 24 hours. The company will also reduce soul crystal removal cost by 50%.

Besides, the players will be rewarded items, such as Unconfirmed Rare Weapon Recipe or Unconfirmed Rare Armor Recipe, as many times they combine or salvage equipment between December 8th and 21st. 

A mobile MMORPG boasting outstanding technical achievement and massive popularity worldwide, Lineage2 Revolution was named Best Games of 2017 by Google Play in five Asian countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Thailand, last week.

E-POWER TAGAYTAY SCHOOL: Over 150 Grade 10 students and teachers of Tagaytay City High School attended last December 6 the final leg of this year's series of DOE’s Career Talks on Breaking Gender Stereotypes in the Energy Workforce. Among those who joined them were staff of Consumer Welfare and Promotion Office headed by Chief Science Research Specialist, Helen B. Arias, Electric Power Industry Management Bureau and Energy Resource Development Bureau who informed them of the energy industry and the opportunities therein. The activity was part of the celebration of National Energy Consciousness Month.

In celebration of National Energy Consciousness Month, the Department of Energy (DOE), through the Consumer Welfare and Promotion Office (CWPO), conducted the last leg of 2017’s Career Talks in the Tagaytay City High School on 6 December 2017.

Principal, Dr. Florencio Costa, in his opening and closing remarks, extended his appreciation to DOE Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi for introducing the ENEReady Program to their Grade 10 students.

“This activity is a welcome opportunity for our children to learn more about careers in the energy sector,” said Dr. Florencio.

Resource persons from the CWPO, Electric Power industry Management Bureau, and from the Energy Resource Development Bureau shared their personal and work experiences, and showed the distinguished women leaders who managed the DOE and its attached agencies. The goal is to inspire students to take up courses in science, technology and engineering, because energy is seen to be among the top challenging sector of the 21st century.

Over 150 Grade 10 students and teachers actively participated as they were provided guidance on how to plan their careers and have meaningful jobs in the future.

The ENEReady is a continuing program of the DOE-GAD reaching a total of 2,115 students in ten (10) schools in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Region IV-A since its commencement in 2016.

It is aligned with the E-Power Mo campaign of the DOE and aims to promote gender equality in the energy sector.

“I hope the DOE will also be one of their lifetime partners in the same way as its regular visitors, such as DepEd, DOH, and PNP,” Dr. Florencio concluded.

ENERGIZED STUDENTS: Grade 10 Students of Tagaytay City National High School listened intently to Engr. Eduardo B. Fernandez' lecture on breaking gender stereotypes in the power sector. There were a total of 150 student and teacher participants in the Career Talks on Breaking Gender Stereotypes in the Energy Workforce conducted on December 6 by the DOE-Gender and Development through the Consumer Welfare and Promotion Office in observance of National Energy Consciousness Month.
