Singapore Real Life Event: Hrin Throws Down The Gauntlet
20/03/2007
Alright people. CBT may be over, but that was merely a prelude to GE, the teasing foreplay to a much larger picture of what is to come in V2.0 on 17th May 2007 during Pre-Open Beta.
The beauty of Granado Espada is that it centers on the themes of chivalry and heroism. Protecting the innocent, championing the weak, defending the helpless. But my point is… why stop at these things at a game level? Why not bring these aspects into real life as well?
For Singaporeans out there: Katong Special School needs you heroes to help in bringing their kids for an outing. Think of it as a real life quest. With Hrin as the real life NPC issuing out this quest:
Quest Name: Babysit the children!
NPC: Hrin, GE Community Manager
Place: Katong Special School
Date, Time: 27th March 2007, 11am-6pm
Rewards: Being a true GE Hero, Community Service EXP Card, Hrin will buy you a drink
Required: Email Hrin at
community@ge.iahgames.com with your full name and mobile number in order to register for this event
Quest Details: Bringing kids with special needs on an outing, teaching them basic things like taking a bus and buying a fast food meal. NO prior EXP required. You can be a total noob at this – it’s cool, we are all learning together. (Don’t worry, I will be there to hold your hand and provide a player walkthrough. ;p ) You can read more about this on my GE Blog.
And so, my dear Vespanolans and friends, I throw down that gauntlet to you: Don’t just play GE. Live GE.
