A First Step towards a worry-free CABAL Online Adventure

Everyone is getting ready for CABAL right? Start creating a NEW e-Games account now!

In preparation for the game, let me share some tips on how to secure your accounts as early as this stage before CBT so that you brave warriors would be ready to face one of the biggest challenges in the online world come OPEN Beta Stage.

Getting hacked perhaps is considered as one of the most disappointing endeavour an on line gamer might face. Let's admit it! Getting hacked as well as getting scammed is inevitable in the online arena.

We can classify or categorize two main reasons for account hacking - 1. User-Initiated Hacking and 2. System Breach/Complex Hacking.

User-Initiated Hacking may come as a result of Account sharing, Piloting of Accounts, and logging in to fake/phishing Gaming sites.

What are phishing sites?
These sites are portals which promises gamer to gain immediate game advantage such as "Upgrade your weapons instantly to +7" or "Earn 1,000,000 Gold/In-Game currency". These are unofficial game sites that require gamers to key-in their account details such as their game accounts' usernames and passwords.

The second type Hacking maybe in the form of Trojan viruses, Packet-sniffers, key-loggers, and other security loopholes in the system.

How can a gamer protect himself/herself from these?
1. Choosing strong Passwords
What makes a strong password? [ from http://www.microsoft.com]
“To an attacker, a strong password should appear to be a random string of characters. The following criteria can help your passwords do so:
Make it lengthy. Each character that you add to your password increases the protection that it provides many times over. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is ideal.

Combine letters, numbers, and symbols. The greater variety of characters that you have in your password, the harder it is to guess.
Use the entire keyboard, not just the most common characters. Symbols typed by holding down the "Shift" key and typing a number are very common in passwords. Your password will be much stronger if you choose from all the symbols on the keyboard, including punctuation marks not on the upper row of the keyboard, and any symbols unique to your language. Use words and phrases that are easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess."

2. Personalize your Account PINS [during NEW Account REGISTRATION]
3. Document and Secure your Account information and details
4. When playing in an i-Café be watchful of EYE LOGGERS
5. Use the Virtual keyboard
6. Be responsible in choosing which I-Café you play at
7. Don’t share your account information to anyone
8. Regularly manage your account – CHANGE your passwords on a weekly basis
9. Regularly scan you game stations for Viruses/Trojans- Spywares, etc.
10. Don’t deal with gamers who you don’t know very well; choose your online friends wisely.
Check the details of the Items you are trading before accepting a trade.

Here's a short and quick guide on how to create your e-Games Account:
VISIT www.e-games.com.ph to view the Official e-Games Portal.
Press the [SIGN-UP] Button located in the upper write section of the E-Games main page.

Cabal Online pre-destined to vantage through the Philippine Online Gaming Market this SUMMER 2008

A lot of online gamers were enthusiastic as the CABAL Global Website featured the Philippine flag rolling below the World of CABAL MAP site. Game forums discussions regarding as to who will be the gaming company who will publish the game locally and when will the game be available were all over the place and just to set things all straight, here you go....

E-Games Philippines known to be “the company that revolutionized the free-to-play model in local online gaming” is proud to introduce this world-renowned, action-packed MMORPG to the gaming market.

Yup! You heard that right. E-Games Philippines, the leading online game publisher of the two dominating titles in the local online gaming industry namely Ran Online and Audition Dance Battle is yet to introduce another luminary game title: CABAL ONLINE.

Looking at the definition and origin of the word “CABAL” in an online resource; “the term cabal derives from Kabbalah (a word that has numerous spelling variations), the mystical interpretation of the Hebrew scripture, and originally meant either an occult doctrine or a secret.”

With this we can assume that the game will revolve around a group of secret plotters that would make the game filled with uncanny twists, conflict, intrigue, and conspiracy.

Enough of the boring stuffs and let’s focus on this exciting addition to the E-Games catalogue of top-notched Online Games.

Cabal Online is an action MMORPG set in a 3rd person view perspective. Like most modern MMORPGs, it includes a skill and class system, PVP system, and a guild system. It also utilizes a combo system within its game play that allows players to have more powerful attacks based on timing. The primary aspect of levelling in the game is quests. Typical quests involve moving from one place to another, interaction between NPCs, killing enemies, and dungeon quests.

Cabal Online is a game of multiple genres. It’s a combination of Medieval, Futuristic and Fantasy. The game offer various “unique” features not available in other MMORPGs such as the COMBO system which will make every gamer go on MAMAW and ADDICT Mode for tons of hours.

CABAL is considered as the most highly-anticipated online game in the country. The unique game play of this online game borders between the usual action-fight arcade/console games and the usual hard-core, level-grinding aspect of MMORPGs.

Cabal has been operating successfully in different Countries across the World.
These countries/areas include China, Taiwan, Europe, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia, Brazil, USA, Indonesia, and now it will rock every I-Café and have home users get a dose of Online action in the Philippines.

With that said, gamers should start spreading the good news get ready to start securing those e-Games accounts as we await the launch of Cabal Online.
More information on this new revolutionary action-packed MMORPG will be posted soon....
