Weekly Roundup
Posted 06-11-2009 at 20:38 by Caesar
Another week is over and the weekend has arrived (
). But before I go and relax I have shackled myself to this keyboard to update the blog.
As many of you have noticed the blog has not been updated for the past few weeks. This isn't because I don't love you all (although anyone's patience would be put to the test dealing with the CABAL Community on the forums daily). Instead I have simply not been around, or had time, to round up the weekly happenings. But enough of the excuses.
So what is going on? As it is late I will briefly inform you all of a few points of interest.
The situation with the botters
Last week we introduced our brand new botting team, alongside a team of six GMs. The impacts, as many of you have noticed, have been instant and are beyond even our expectations.
In the time period the alz farmed per day has halved. Additionally the proportion of the alz farmed at the botting hotspots has significantly reduced. All in all it has been a great success and long may it continue.
In terms of alz sellers and buyers we are still investigating the logs.
GameGuard
In addition to the new botting team we have been working closely with the developers of GameGuard to improve protection. Major changes on this front should be introduced in the December update.
New CABAL Cash Distribution Partners
I'm pleased to announce we have signed agreements with two new partners to distribute our CABAL Cash (one in Poland and one in Romania). It will introduce new payment methods for these regions and should make paying for CABAL much easier for Polish and Romanian users. More details on this to follow.
Xfire Live Stream
Next Thursday we will once again team up with Xfire to be the first game to use their live broadcast feature. During the live stream the new dungeons will be shown, as well as a Guild vs Guild war. You may even get to see and speak to a GM or two...
November Event
During November we plan to run several events (one of which will be ingame). This will target the mid-level player and will therefore be a good opportunity for existing players to level up a new character. Again all details have yet to be confirmed and full event information will be posted in the next few weeks.
New Payment Restrictions
In order to reduce the hassle of paying for the game, we have made several changes to the payment system. Instead of the previous maximum of 2 payments within 48 hours, four payments can now be made. Furthermore the restrictions on new players is no longer so strict, allowing those starting on their CABAL journey to benefit from the shop.
And finally....
If you haven't already done so make sure you check out our new Facebook quiz - 'Which Class are you?' So far the quiz has been remarkably accurate (check out player feedback here - http://forum.cabalonline.com/showthread.php?t=140354) and suggests many of you do your research before selecting a class.
