The Grave of Undying Memories

A familiar landscape appeared before his eyes. “It’s been a while, Fort Ruina,” Capt. Abraxas whispered with grim expression. Of all the realms of Nevareth, Fort Ruina is the only place he’d rather not step on. He respired as he turned off his GPS and replaced his sack on his right shoulder.

Looking at the black sky and the mechanical ruins that make up the territory of Fort Ruina, Capt. Abraxas couldn’t help but wince at the painful memory that the land emanates. Images of the lush forests and clear springs that he once enjoyed; the brilliant sculptures made of gold and ores; the excited grins of budding engineers and mechanics who were once his students and friends; the smiling face of his two bestfriends, Capella and Procyon appeared before him. How long has it been, ten years? 30 years? It has been a long time ago and all of these things have died with the land. They died along with Fort Ruina during the first war, leaving only painful memories and the energy of hatred that consumed the land.

For years, he sealed his memory in his subconscious; living his daily life with the wisdom of a sage but the memory of a babe. Now that the seal was broken, all of his pains and fears returned to him like hurling water escaping a broken dam. Pale and paralyzed, Capt. Abraxas fell on the ground; his eyes, wide and blank.

“Capella, Procyon…stop this insanity! This is not what you want! You’ve been deceived! Stop…please…” he cried helplessly, overwhelmed by the illusion that his subconscious unleashed.

Capella and Procyon were his two closest friends. They worked together in the Sage Tower, aiming to bring Nevareth back to its former glorious state. They always had different ideas but there was no argument that they were not able to resolve before sundown. Until, one day, Procyon passed a new decree. The edict that will allow the opening of dimension and summoning force that humankind could never understand and better leave alone. Procyon believed that with this new source of power, the Tower of Sages will be able to hasten the restoration of Nevareth’s lost technology. However, Capella disagreed. He believed in the power of humans, there was no need to expose Nevarethan to unnecessary risks.

Nobody expected that from that argument, a new war would explode; a war that would last for generations, dividing Nevareth into two nations.

Capt. Abraxas sprang from his delusional state. Sweat ran down his face as he realized something. “The war, it will begin soon.”

Calling all Cabalists! Prepare to stand your ground as the two nations collide in the biggest war ever waged in Cabal Online.
Reach the required level and join a nation before the Scheduled Server Maintenance on August 12, 2008 to get a chance to win a +5 Osmium Set with 3 slots!

Cabalists who are able to complete “The Cloud of War” quest by 1:00PM of August 12, 2008 will also get 10 Odd Circles and will qualify for the raffle for Osmium Armor Set +5 with 3 slots.

Do you have what it takes to defend your nation? Then show us what you’ve got and you might just get one of these rare items! Don’t forget, the event cut-off will be until 1:00PM of August 12, 2008 only.

Happy e-Gaming CABALists!

Cabalists, Meet the Modern Sages


Dear Cabalists,
I know that you are weary because of the war that looms over the land. However, do not falter heroes of Nevareth; I may not be there to guide you through these dark times but new sages will appear to help you. Their wisdom will lift up your spirit and renew your hope. They will be there to answer your questions, to hold gatherings and give away items that will aid you in your quest.

The new sages, also called Community GMs, along with the Community Manager, will make their in-game appearance on August 4, 2008. So be sober, be vigilant; do not miss them as they pass for you will surely learn something from them.


Know that all the things that threaten Nevareth—war, deception, the Dark One—will soon come to pass; until then, keep the fire burning in your heart.

Capt. Abraxas

BLOCKED ACCOUNTS NOTICE

Good day!

As much as we wanted to help you guys with regards to your account blocked issues, our Game logs showed that blocked accounts reflected hack logs. Hack activities that are logged are results of an account using 3rd Party Programs. These hack logs are generated by the game system used by CABAL across all different regional services. Once the system detects numerous hack logs, a specific account is flagged for blocking.

There are also BOT reports from gamers and GM BOT Monitoring being conducted. Some accounts are blocked due to the use of BOTS [ex. CABAL RIDER]. BOTS are blocked after tedious account and game logs investigation.

Please be reminded that the CABAL Team will not block accounts without any basis. As part of implementing the game policies, accounts found to be using 3rd party Programs based on the said hack logs will be penalized accordingly. We advise all e-Gamers to be very vigilant in handling their accounts. Avoid lending your account to others. An account’s log is tagged entirely on the account no matter who is the user of that account. Avoid having your account piloted by others without your supervision that your pilots might have been the one’s using the 3rd Party Programs without your knowledge. In the end, your account is still under your responsibility.

The CABAL Team will not be held responsible for unused items and services bought from the CABAL Item Shop. If you are banned for using 3rd Party Programs, any items and services the character has bought will not be returned nor refunded. This is no longer within our control and as part of our policy, we do not give any reconsiderations for we consider using 3rd Party Programs a serious offense and one that threatens to disrupt the balance and economy of the game - in line with our continuous efforts to improve the quality of the game. What we can advise you at this point is to tell your co-CABALISTS to always avoid using ANY 3rd Party Programs; and that you may find new-found power and prosperity, without the use of ANY 3rd Party Programs, the next time you start a game of CABAL.

Thank you for your continued support!

Server Connection Issues due to congested Channels

Good day to all!
Thanks for voicing out your concerns regarding the server/channel connection issues due to congestion. We would like to inform everyone that the current structure of the Game Servers are already set to its maximum capacity. This means that we cannot add more channels as of this moment since that is the standard set-up for all CABAL Game Services.

E-Games Management is aware of the issues of gamers having a hard time connecting to the game especially on peak hours due to the massive support from gamers who wanted to play CABAL. Plans in releasing new Game servers [Neptune or Uranus] are being evaluated as of this moment.

e-Games and ESTsoft are working on BOT/HACK Issues. Our game developers and Tech. Team are currently working together in order to block 3rd party programs/bots for CABAL PH. This is to make sure that the game servers are not populated by BOTTERS and in to make more room for real gamers. We are expecting major changes soon [ie. New Gameguard Patches and Server Migration].

We greatly appreciate your extended patience and continued support as we all work together in bringing you the best online gaming experience in CABAL Online.
