For those who have not heard about it yet, the GMs are finally organizing an event:

Get an edge during CBT by finding and killing mid-level Hill Giants. These mean, green monsters roam Ferruccio Junction, the Cathari Falls, King’s Garden, Tetra Hill and the Tetra Great Ruins.

At 2p.m. SGT (GMT +8), the Hill Giants will come out to hunt. When the Hill Giants spawn in these areas, be sure to kill them! Three of the Hill Giants will unlock access to a special coupon after they have been killed. Once all three coupons have been found, the lucky players can redeem their coupons for a random equipment, 1 NPC Card, and early access to coming OBT!

There’s some discussion going on here on our own forums on what to how to deal with it, so go ahead and participate. I’m sure most of you are starting to feel the burn out and also the lack of motivation to grind anymore since the server is going to be wiped, but the event reward is worth it because of its OBT benefits.

Cheers.

2 short news, nothing earthshaking but here goes.

1. Yakisoba membership is now closed. We have enough members for now and we don’t see a need to expand as of now. Anymore members inside and it’s going to be impossible to read the faction chatbox, hahah.

2. For all Yakisoba members, the forum has been updated with 2 new sections, kindly use them accordingly. Also for Yakisoba members who have registered and not been validated, please leave a message here so I can validate you. For those who have not registered, kindly do so now.

That will all, cheers and happy GE-ing.

Alright, I’ll filtered out some of the photoshoot pictures that we have taken yesterday and here are the thumbnails up for grab. A big thank you to all members who took time to come to Auch and participated in this guild shoot! And hell, it was awfully laggy!

The initial location:

The running to the new location:

The new location where we had a proper line up:

Okay, I know this is a rather sudden change (just 2 more hours to go for the shoot!), but the photoshoot location will be changed to City of Auch Channel 1 at G10, where the steps are. Time is still 8pm (GMT +8).

Please try to be punctual!

Go buy your pose books if you want, or for those who can’t make it, you can always park there first so we can shoot you together with us!

Today is a very special occasion! It’s Voyage’s 20th birthday! Let’s all wish our resident Hrin-flirter a happy birthday! May the broadcast spammer get plenty of microphone presents~!

Also, please be reminded that there is a guild photoshoot at 8pm (GMT +8) today at Cite de Reboldouex fountain area Channel 1, followed by our guild’s FFA 15 vs 15 PVP event at 9pm. I hope everyone can try to make the effort to turn up for the shoot and event.

We will even throw in a celebration for Voyage! Remember to buy him a present: A microphone!

The war with [Infamous] is now over. They disbanded their guild and ran away. So in that sense, Yakisoba has “eliminated” one faction. Unfortunately, I think it’s very poor sportmanship of their guild to run away. It was one of their members that dared us to warring them after all.

Their leader did offer a truce, but I declined because it was barely a few hours before we declared war on them (200k is expensive after all, so at least let us war a couple of days).

Well I hope some of you that managed to catch some of the on going had fun KOS-ing them. Don’t worry, I will look for another guild that would be interested in having war with us.

For now, I’ll be collecting donations from members to fund the “almost dried” guild fund. This is not compulsory, and you may donate any sum of money you wish to me.

Thank you.

Yakisoba is now at war with Infamous.

This war is brought to you courtesy of Poker (from Infamous) who openly challenged our faction to war. I hope they would enjoy this war as much as we would do.

All the best to all members during this warring period. Have fun, hunt them down and tear them apart.

Cheers.

PS- I’ll need some donation from you guys. The war is costly you know. Rofl.

I just realized that CBT will be coming to an end soon.

edit: actually, there’s still 1 more week. I r phailed maths.

If I recalled correctly, Hrin once mentioned that the CBT will be up for 3 weeks and since we started on the 12th of Feb, then 5th of March should be the last day.

While this is a little too early, I want to thank all 58 Yakisoba members for their time and dedication to make Yakisoba the most active, organized and dedicated faction in sgGE CBT. We have had our share of mudslinging from the community, but we will not be affected by these ignorant players.

As long as we stay legit and honest within the boundaries of the game, we can lift our heads up.

So before CBT ends, I would like to have one huge group photoshoot with ALL YAKISOBA members this Sunday, 8pm (GMT+8) at Cite de Reboldouex fountain area Channel 1 (1 hour before the 15v15 PVP event). Start grinding that couple of levels to get into your 52 gear or higher!

And we are back with more Yakisoba events!

Voyage will be organizing a 15v15 FFA PVP event at Cite de Reboldouex PVP Officer, Channel 1 this Sunday at 9pm (GMT +8). This event is opened to all Yakisoba members, and probably even to the public.

This is a good opportunity for all to get some GVG practice, as well as to see whether your computer can handle the load of 60 characters running around and spamming skills.

Cheers, and we hope to see you all there.

The following members have yet to pay their 5,000 vis membership dues:

Stollen, Ekik3l, Hohenheim, XD, Zepher, Strifewalker, Lerion*, Deon, Suns, Nahashi and Younha.

Please remind them to pay to either Tsubaki, Excalibur or Exupery by today the latest, or they will be removed from the guild on Wednesday, where we will proceed with our mass recruitment of new Yakisoba members.

*Lerion has personally informed me that he will only be back on Thursday/Friday, so he will be excused.
