I have decided!


I have decided! I will be making this into a fan-based blog of my exploits in the realm of Granado Espada as well as my life. Hmm, yes. That should be good. Just talking about my life would be boring. So I my decision should increase my motivation to post more since I do love bragging. Well, anyway... What is Granado Espada? It is a game that has kept gamers waiting for about 2 years since it first started rumor, about an online game that purposely would revolutionize the Online Role-Playing scene by actually letting the player take control of not one, not two, but three characters in a Massivley-Multiplayer online Role-playing Game(MMPORG) environment. Gamers have believed that it was going to be a start and would seem like a fun thing to wait for it to come out. To their surprise though on the same year as the rumors grew, trailers began to seep through the internet and as people watched the beautiful scenes battering through their imagination, everyone seemed eager to play. And now the long wait is almost finally over. The Game is scheduled for an Pre-Open Beta Phase this May 17, 2007 and users all over the world with a decent internet connection can finally play!

For now, questions have risen among the fans from the Closed Beta Phase as well as the upcoming players of GE. One of the most widely asked and unread question is,

Q: "Will it Granado Espada be Pay-2-Play? Or Free(The item mall way)"
A: Let me quote the General Community Manager of GE, then:
"...
we are still fine-tuning the details of our business model. Once we have done so, we PROMISE we will announce it on the website and on the forums. In the meantime, we have been reading the forums and hearing what you guys have been saying and believe me, we have been taking every one of those concerns into arriving at our decision."

I would suggest from here to actually check and read what those topics in the forums are saying. They could mean the world to the people who answer these everyday.

Now as for the people out there who love to role-play games like these for real, I would like to quote the official GE website's story from here.

The story begins in the old world of Orpesia, with the country of Oporuto. Oporuto was starving, and in need of an economic uplift. Their trade with resource-rich Katai had been cut off by the armies of Targa, Illier, and Vespanola to the East, and to the West they were blocked by the dreadful Dark Sea.
An Oporutan explorer named Ferrucio Espada ventured across the Dark Sea in search of an ocean route to Katai, and instead he discovered a new world.
The world was named Granado Espada after its discoverer.
Oporuto threw all their economic resources into the development of the new world, and spent their country into bankruptcy. Nearby Vespanola relieved the country's debts, and in the process annexed all of Oporuto's holdings in Orpesia and Granado Espada.
Following the annexation, Vespanola was attacked by their mortal enemy to the northwest, Brestia.
The Brestian surprise attack resulted in a brutal conflict known as "The Three-Year War." The war's outcome was essentially decided at the Baleares Naval Battle, in which a weak Vespanolan "Red" Navy miraculously defeated the mighty Brestian fleet.
The war forced Vespanola to ignore its interests in Granado Espada, and also created a new class of social elite, the Wartime Nobility. Due to social strife stemming from the Wartime Nobility's inability to adapt to peacetime, as well as growing control problems in Granado Espada, the Queen issued the "Reconquista Policy" urging adventurous Vespanolan families to migrate to the new world and retake the land for Queen and Country.
The game begins with your family, the new family, looking to find power, fortune and glory under Reconquista.

I would now like to stop here for the moment as I myself have no more knowledge about GE from here. I do hope to be in the game and enjoy it with all you people out there.

See you in the game,
