After the Pride of Champions League (PCL) which happened from August 19, 2011 to September 18, 2011 nationwide, top 8 teams emerged.

ESTsoft's follow-up to the yet unreleased Episode 8 is currently in the Korean Test Servers and has been going pretty well. With a new accessory, dance, and tweaked crafting system, we can expect Cabal to be better than ever when this patch gets implemented.

I have decided to create a separate post for the Test Server Patch Notes for easy updating.

Cabal Episode 9 Already in The Works

Cabal Episode 8 has not even been implemented in the Philippines yet but ESTsoft already has a follow up to it!

They are currently testing it, and of course, is subject to a lot of changes and additions, depending on how they would all fare during the test.
