Kabalyero is an avid online gamer from the Philippines.

When I first tried Second Life, I didn’t quite get it and left it the same day but the second time I tried it I finally did maybe because I was better informed and got the chance to learn more about it. As I explore this virtual world I learned a lot about it and have met a lot of people who actually live their lives and spend most of their time in it, a Second Life.

(My Home in Second Life, Kabalyero Kidd’s Castle)

One of the more interesting thing I learned about Second Life is the ability to create your own virtual home. The idea of a virtual home got me interested although I really don’t see the point of having one because you won’t really be living in it. Anyway, one of the most important ingredient in building a home in Second Life is land. Just like in the real world, without land we can’t build anything.

Now, there are two ways of getting land. The first one is buy it from Linden Labs which requires a premium account and the second one is rent it from other land owners or estate owners. Of course, being a non-premium account user, my only choice was to rent it and that I did. I rented a small piece of mainland from another resident named Richard Palace whose main business in Second Life is land development.

e-Games Philippines capped the level limit of Cabal Online Philippines to 100 and capped the skills limit to G. Master. A few days ago, I finally reached that limit. My main character is now level 100 with G. Master Sword Skills and a Master in Magic.

(Weak and Noob! So, please be kind to him!)

It was not an easy task to reach the level cap specially when I’m not using any of those so called Premium Items. If I were then I would have reached the level cap quicker. In fact, our Guild Leader, FzEjhay reached the level cap in less than 24 hours by using Premium Services/Items after the level cap was increased. Whew! Now that’s what I call dedication! LOL!

Just a little info on my character. My character is a Warrior and it’s basically built for PvE (player versus environment) since I do everything SOLO. What about PVP? Nah, my hand and eye coordination is not that good anymore. I can’t even beat my kids in Tekken anymore. Ahh, the perils of aging. LOL!

Fort Ruina is a location in Nevareth which can only be accessed by characters who are level 65 and up. To get into Fort Ruina you must use the Warp Center located at Port Lux.

A lot of players train their characters in Fort Ruina and during my training there I’ve seen a few characters who seem to got themselves stuck just below the stairs leading to the Core Alchemist. It’s weird because I’ve ran up and down that stairs a hundred times but I’ve never got my character stuck there.

It’s as if no human were controlling these characters because if there was a human behind those characters then they would immediately fix it. Besides, a human player would never get stuck there that long.

I was able to get a video of some of these “stuck” characters in Fort Ruina. A common thing that you’ll notice about them is that they seem to get stuck at the same spot which is just below the stairs leading to the Core Alchemist NPC.

I got an e-mail from a volunteer with the International Spaceflight Museum in Second Life. It’s about their Sims Anniversary Celebration. The Sims are Spaceport Alpha and Spaceport Bravo and they’ll be celebrating the anniversary of the two sims on June 14, 2008 which was already a week ago.

Unfortunately, I was not checking my e-mails that often during that week so I was not able to announce it here. I’m terribly sorry for that.

I’m really having a lot of fun playing Cabal Online. For some reason, I’m drawn to the game. I know it’s not the community because, well, it’s your typical Pinoy online gaming community filled with all sorts of immaturity and elitism and I’m sure it’s not the publisher because I’m not a big fan of e-Games. I guess, it’s the game itself. I’m still not sure why but I really like it.

Anyway, I did another video and this one features my low level Force Blader and he is also named Kabalyero. LOL!

The original idea was to create a mini-story with voice overs. I will be doing all the voices but, because of driver conflict, the software that changes voice wouldn’t work so I used text instead. 

The idea for the ending of the video came from a site which is frequently visited by one of my nephew.

Earn2Life is a great way to earn Linden Dollars in Second Life. If you don’t know what Earn2Life is then please read my post titled Easier and Faster than Camping. It will introduce you to Earn2Life in Second Life.

I’ve been a member of Earn2Life for some months now and, to be honest, I’ve stopped completing offers for them. I think, months have passed since I last did an offer for Earn2Life.

The good thing about Earn2Life is that they’ve expanded their services and with that they’ve also added more ways for a Second Life resident like me to earn linden dollars from them. The more recent addition is the Earn2Life HUD which let members earn linden dollars by completing easy to accomplish tasks in-world.

The publisher of Cabal Online in the Philippines, e-Games, recently launched a Video Making Contest for Cabal Online (read the details here) and since I love to take screenshots and videos of my characters in-game I decided to make one for the contest.

The video I created is all about my in-game character, Kabalyero. It’s almost 3 minutes long and uses a background music from the game itself.

Today, I added Cabal Online as a new category here at Kabalyero.com. I started playing this mmorpg last week and I feel that I will be playing this game longer than I expected. For some reason, I find this game quite interesting and fun to play which I didn’t find in other more recent mmorpgs that were launched here in the Philippines like Perfect World.

I created my character in Cabal Online in Venus server and, as always, I named him Kabalyero. At first, I wanted to play in Mercury server but, unfortunately, someone was already using “Kabalyero” as his character name. That is why I had to move Venus to create my character and after 1 week of playing, my main character is now at level 58 with Advance Expert skills.
