As per GM Boom's post in Plurk, Cabal Ph will be opening the Forbidden Island Dungeon on April 14.
The dungeon's requirement for entry is for your character level to be 125 or higher. Regarding the entry item, GM Boom has not yet confirmed whether it is the Unknown Item that has been constantly popping up when players open Edeza's Lamp.
This is something for all Cabalists to watch out for!

Rohan: First-Hand Experience
I had a good-enough PC to get me the opportunity to be one of the few Filipino gamers to participate in the Close Beta Testing of Rohan Online, released under LevelUp Games.
It took me to the edge of my seat!
I chose to be a Dekan, due to its dark profile and mysterious aura. Dekans are swift and have skills similar to those of a Cabal Blader, but with more oomph to keep you wanting to get your character stronger.
First-timers might be surprised to see other players named "Dekan" or "Dhan". It is because only characters in Peace Mode can see other players' names. This also means that you cannot see a character's name when he is in Attack mode, even if you are in Peace Mode. This gives players enough confidence when they want to PK you (since Rohan is PK-based).
The game is not overrated - it has very meticulous graphics with scenic backgrounds and realistic environment that will completely remind you of Lord of the Rings (especially when I was battling those Drhyses because they looked like Ents). Characters are equipped with interesting skills with action-packed graphics that will make you feel like you are the one executing those attacks.
And I didn't even have an audio card to begin with - which means the action will make your heart pound even without any sound or music accompanying your gaming.
The only downside to this game is the only irritating bug I encountered - the mobs disappear if you are in a crowded map. Because of this, your character gets attacked by aggressive monsters and you'll end up dead without even knowing why. I thought it was just because of lag but after checking my internet connection speed, I confirmed it was a bug.
Rohan Online Open Beta begins this April.

Highstreet 5: worth spending money on?
Highstreet 5 is a casual online dance RPG that allows players to customize the physical attributes of an avatar and show off cool dance moves in street party locations such as a school, alley, and even in a subway.
Any Highstreet 5 player will easily notice how much time and effort EagleGames is putting for their game to beat every other casual online game available in the market.
In the Philippines, with E-Games' Audition Dance Battle as its biggest - and probably only - competition, EagleGames came up with a perfectly clever solution. They increased their IRL cash to in-game cash conversion, therefore even if you top up your account with only 100PHP, your account receives 1040 Points, thus allowing you to shop for more in-game items. Compared to Audition's equal conversion (100PHP will get you 100 Points as well), Highstreet 5's tactic gives players an equal chance to avail of items fit for a student's budget.
Another noteworthy strategy is that they sell Highstreet 5's in-game cash items at incredibly lower prices compared to that of Audition. For instance, one can purchase a suit (a clothing set consisting of a top, pants or skirt, shoes, and/or accessories such as a cap or glasses) for only 450 Points which by conversion will only cost you less than 50PHP, while the same set for the same price is worth 450PHP in Audition. What's even better is that for an item to be "forever" (the item will not disappear from your inventory, termed "indefinite" in Audition) yours, you simply triple its basic price and presto, your favorite outfit is yours until you decide to delete your account.
To keep the profit coming, there are monthly events for players to participate in, all focused on rewarding players who top up their accounts most within a certain period of time. The impressive part here is that the rewards they give are yours, oh yes, forever. They also happen to be items that you cannot purchase at the in-game mall or online store - you really have to spend and top up your account if you want them to be yours.
Of course not everyone wants to spend for an online game, right? But in Highstreet 5, every Point you spend in the in-game mall is converted into a point for your Family (or guild). The more points your Family gets from your Point-spending spree, the higher your Family level. Example, once your Family total reaches 10,000 Points, your Family becomes a Level 2 guild, therefore enabling your Family to invite more members and appoint more officers. It also adds to the prestige of having not only high level players who can easily kick anybody's ass but a guild that can buy their way to fashion as well.
Surely, it is not practical to spend so much money on online gaming, especially on clothes you can't wear yourself or pets that will never cuddle up to you. But hey, if the game makes you happy and brings to "online gaming life" all your fantasies, Highstreet 5 is the game for you to cough up your cash on.

Rohan Online: The Biggest Threat to Cabal?
Rohan Online is about to rock the Philippine online gaming scene!
Ever experienced getting forcefully killed or PKed while you're happily mobbing?
I assume that's a yes.
Level-Up's upcoming game, Rohan Online features a very interesting Vengeance System. You may be laughing so hard and taunting someone as weak and eventually end up engaging in PVP or PK. You may have killed your opponent now and as you bask in your easy victory, you may have to cut the celebration short because of Rohan's innovation of giving the killed player the option of teleporting back to the killer. To make it all better (or maybe worse for the killer), one may have a party or an entire guild tagging along, all aiming to kill you for revenge.
Worry not, low level players, the ambush does not begin until you reach Level 30. As soon as you hit the big 30, be ready to kill and be killed.
I then advise Rohan players to be a guild member before you hit level 30, or at least be always in a party to avoid the endless ambush. This will prevent you from getting killed and have the secure feeling of having a band of gamers ready to defend you.
One may think that Rohan is just another MMORPG, perhaps even assuming it to be typical. Yet one look at their class lineup will definitely change your mind.
They have the common classes such as the knight, archer, healer and mage, but they have two soon-to-be-feared classes - the Dhan and Dekan.
These two classes have the ability to disguise themselves as monsters. Yes, they can transform into any monster in the map they are in and can (and will) attack you by surprise once you strike them, leaving you in disbelief.
Here are the classes in Rohan Online:
* Human (Knight) - Created by the God Hand, humans are perfectly suited for the role of knight. Being a tank by absorbing enemy damage to keep fellow players alive portrays the actions of a human in this game. These brute warriors seem to be in the center of battles due to their incredible defense and their determination to fight for what they believe in. This could be why humans are one of the races in the round table.
* Elf (Healer) - Proficient and gentle souled, elves are your center source of recovery, defense and vitality in Rohan. Especially in parties, elves assists party members with healing and protection. But don’t be fooled, a fury of ranged magic attacks can be unleashed when alone. These elves are one of the three races in the peace assured round table.
* Half Elf (Archer) - These masters of bow/crossbows are the offspring of both humans and elves. From being shunned by their forefathers, half elves or halflings, resorted in forests where they became the ultimate hunters. Able to be used in parties or solo, this race’s accuracy is unmatched. Using magic in some of their attacks, half elves eventually joined the peace assured round table and accepted by the humans and elves.
* Dhan (Assassin) - First lead by the prophet Haillok, Dhans, one of six races in the game, are a unique and special breed. They can choose to become anonymous killers who prey on other players for experience, this is called the assassination mode. However, they cannot party with others or join quests while in this mode, nor can they be identified by their victims for revenge. Dhans are renegade assassins that generally operate alone, and will kill at every opportunity.[6]
* Dekan (Dragon Fighter) - Originally stationed at the borders of the countries by Ohn to prevent any cultures from blending, the Dekans defy nature. Clashing with Dhans in the Bahran islands, made the Dekans mass their strength and increase their power. Usually fighting alone, the Dekan race may transform into a dragon, use a blood sucking ability or attack large area’s of land, Dekans are found to be a lone powerhouse.
* Dark Elf (Mage) - Mysterious and cautious about their self-defense, Dark Elves use a series of powerful magic attacks. Not much is known about the dark elves but their transportation and weakening powers are well known around Rohan. Excelling in group battles, Dark elves have the ability to kill an enemy before it reach’s them. Although not much is known, Dark elves have a strong despise for the human and elf race. This races main goal seems to be to drive the elves and humans out of their land.
Now, did Rohan catch your attention? Interesting enough? The next question now: Is your PC up to the challenge that this new game brings?
No, I am not speaking in the manner of its gameplay. Rohan is heavily loaded with high-end graphics that can definitely kill your PC unless you upgrade it before even thinking of downloading this game.
If you do not believe me, check out its system requirements, and you'll know what I mean:
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 2000 SP 4, Windows 98 SE
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz, AMD Sempron 2.0 Ghz
Memory: 512 MB
Graphics: GeForce FX, Radeon 9600; 128 MB
Sound: AC ’97 compatible
DirectX: DirectX 9.0c
Hard Disk: 6 GB
RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows XP SP 2, Windows 2003 SP 2
CPU: Intel Pentium D 915 (2.8 Ghz), AMD Athlon64-X2 3800 (2.0 Ghz)
Memory: 2 GB
Graphics: GEForce 6×00, Radeon x600; 256 MB
Sound: AC ’97 compatible
DirectX: DirectX 9.0c
Hard Disk: 6 GB
Is this game enough to overthrow Cabal as the Philippines' leading online game?
Rohan has the potential to beat any game out in the Philippine online gaming market. With its supreme graphics, innovative gameplay, and interesting character classes, any gamer can get hooked. Unfortunately, its graphics is its double-edged sword. The system requirements are too high and I doubt your typical internet cafe owner will have enough money in him to spare for a decent upgrade in order to accommodate it.
But if the demand for this game increases, I don't think the shop owners will hesitate to upgrade all their computers.
Rohan Online Philippines' closed beta testing begins on February 28, 2009.

Cabal Forgotten Temple B1F Solo
Here's a video guide to Cabal's Forgotten Temple B1F dungeon.
Credit goes to Chie aka deadmanschest from the E-Games forum. You may also go here if my links are not working properly.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Chie's note: after clearing all the mobs you could skip the remaining part of the video(1:40 onwards) and proceed to part 5 because the rest of the video contains only dancing to recover SP.
Part 4
Part 5
Blue key quest
Detailed guide to killing he 2nd boss, Chakris
I reiterate that these videos are not mine and that full credit goes to Chie aka deadmanschest.
Additional notes:
++ You only have to kill the last golem located at the end of the room to open the fire wall.
++ To defeat the fire wall, stay close to one of the fire walls and use your range skills.
++ The cycle of the snake respawn at the Nesbite room is clockwise. The first serpent is at the northwest which is at the left side of the fire wall.
Kudos to the Cabal E-Gamers, especially Chie, for their expertise.

why be part of a guild?
Personally, I consider myself an anti-social. It takes me a great deal of effort to actually walk up to someone I've just met and start a conversation.
Since I started participating in a forum five years ago, I realized that being friends with people, even those that you don't think you'll ever see personally, is an amazing feat. You get to learn from them, without any prejudice, because you don't know them personally.
Incidentally, I used to prefer playing alone. It was still the Ragnarok Online hype in the Philippines then, and I didn't really care much about my character dying almost every minute and I had to walk from the town I've resurrected at back to the spot where I'm completing my quest or simply trying to gain experience points in. I told myself I don't need a guild, because I can very well buy all the potions I need.
Eventually, Ran Online became the "in" thing. That's the game that changed my perspective about MMORPGs forever.
In Ran, you desperately need a Shaman to keep you company, because your HP potions are definitely not enough to let you stand a chance against the mobs. It also means that you constantly have to be in a party, to ensure you will not lose the experience points you have just gained because you keep dying. Another reason why you shouldn't die is that there is a 50% chance that you will drop an item which is usually your most prized one (I dropped a lot of +7 swords).
That was when I appreciated I was in a guild.
I joined one accidentally. I mistook it for a party invitation.
Being in a guild is like being in a huge group of friends in an instant. As a player, your guildmates will teach you the ins and outs of the game, especially when you need assistance in finishing a quest or task. They are your personal walkthroughs and game guides, without you having to exert so much effort because you get your answers immediately. As a friend, they will be accommodating enough to chat with you when you don't feel like leveling your character. In the process, you get to know each other better as fellow players and in-game friends.
Like in any other case, it is inevitable that you get into arguments with your guildmates. It may lead to either of you leaving the guild if the problem cannot be settled. Nevertheless, it is beneficial in the way that you learn how to deal with people you do not agree with and hopefully make up for it.
Rest assured, your guildmates are there not just to assist you and be your best friends in-game but also to make your gaming life fun. Oftentimes, you'll find yourself realizing that you're playing because of your guild.
Since I started participating in a forum five years ago, I realized that being friends with people, even those that you don't think you'll ever see personally, is an amazing feat. You get to learn from them, without any prejudice, because you don't know them personally.
Incidentally, I used to prefer playing alone. It was still the Ragnarok Online hype in the Philippines then, and I didn't really care much about my character dying almost every minute and I had to walk from the town I've resurrected at back to the spot where I'm completing my quest or simply trying to gain experience points in. I told myself I don't need a guild, because I can very well buy all the potions I need.
Eventually, Ran Online became the "in" thing. That's the game that changed my perspective about MMORPGs forever.
In Ran, you desperately need a Shaman to keep you company, because your HP potions are definitely not enough to let you stand a chance against the mobs. It also means that you constantly have to be in a party, to ensure you will not lose the experience points you have just gained because you keep dying. Another reason why you shouldn't die is that there is a 50% chance that you will drop an item which is usually your most prized one (I dropped a lot of +7 swords).
That was when I appreciated I was in a guild.
I joined one accidentally. I mistook it for a party invitation.
Being in a guild is like being in a huge group of friends in an instant. As a player, your guildmates will teach you the ins and outs of the game, especially when you need assistance in finishing a quest or task. They are your personal walkthroughs and game guides, without you having to exert so much effort because you get your answers immediately. As a friend, they will be accommodating enough to chat with you when you don't feel like leveling your character. In the process, you get to know each other better as fellow players and in-game friends.
