Moe Girl Cafe: Android game

I'm a big fan of casual gaming on my smaller devices (phone, tablet) when I'm not on the computer so I'm always on the lookout for cute games I can play on the run.

Discovered this cute cafe management game called Moe Girl Cafe for android devices. Looks like it was released sometime in December 2013 and it is indeed Moe. There are chibi versions of some popular anime girls that you can hire and assign to have one of three jobs: Hostess, Waiter and Cook. They can then earn experience and level up improving their stats to become a 5-star employee! Unfortunately, it is very hard to get the original character as they come in an assortment of colors and hiring girls with higher ratings requires cash! You can also combine girls and possibly get a new one with better stats.

Ingame money is quite easy to make as long as you level up your menu items. You have to assign an employee to raise level of the food and she won't be able to work in your cafe until its finished. Higher level items on the menu can take a month (which is one play session) or more and are not even guaranteed to level up. Furthermore, salary for the girls will be deducted at the end of every month.

There's only a limited selection of decor (wallpaper, floor and tables). Every 4 months, a special merchant will also visit the restaurant where you may find additional ornamental items for your cafe as well as special recipes for the missing items in your menu.

Even with all its shortcomings, I'm enjoying the chibi versions of familiar anime girls and the collection aspect. There are 23 girls to collect and they come in 5 colors each with one being the true, original color.
The original version of the character will be represented by the pink color of the card.

Ways to obtain cash/credits:
- Tapjoy offers - Have not tried these
- Register for the game and get 50 credits every 5th day of logging in and 100 credits every 6th day.
- Fulfill achievements that award cash.
- You get 5 credits for rating other players' cafes up to 4 times a day. To receive these credits, you must go to your mailbox and click on the giftbox.
- Get 30 credits for inviting other people to join by giving them your invite code.

Gameplay tips
- Tap each girl every once in a while to speed them up after a while. Too much tapping will award you with unhappy smileys
- The girls you want to level up quickly should be assigned to hostess or cook. Hostesses earn more experience but you will find that their "charm stat" grows more than other stats.
- Looks like you can assign as many girls as you want to Waitress!
- Set your Main Dishes to menu items that draw in the most income while using the least ingredient costs.
- Log in for 7 days straight to get a 5 star employee!

Will update with more as I familiarize myself more with the game!
Oh yes, my invitation code is 1B60D and username is Chrysa. You can get 60 credits and I will receive 30 (limited to 10 invites only). Thanks.

Blade and Soul CN

Lately, I have been playing Blade & Soul CN which is the version published by Tencent for China. After years of waiting for NCSoft to publish the North American version, I finally gave in and tried this highly anticipated game. The chinese version boasts having over a million concurrent users! There are also several servers with even more subservers... (You're missing out, NCSoft!!)

 So far, the gameplay is amazing even with the bad ping (~200-300ms) and lag. Many of the skills are dependent on timing and certain conditions so its not your average hack and slash. Targeting is easier than Tera online's system and fairly forgiving. Combat is very dynamic and fluid. This game really does look just as good as all the trailers you've probably seen.

 One of the things I've enjoyed immensely is the Costume system. In this game, your armor stats depend entirely on your bopae or what I call Pizza which is a 8 piece round pictorial armor set! You are given stats and even set bonuses depending on which pieces you choose to equip. So this means that you can wear whichever armor/costume piece you want since it is full for appearance!! There are many ingame armors that you can collect and some in the cash shop. All very impressive and stylish for all races and both genders.

If you do decide to try it rather than wait for an english version, then I also suggest you find a server that is populated with english-speaking players which will make your experience better!
Registration is fairly easy following the guides I've linked below.

Various resources below to get you started:
Registration/Newbie Guide from Freedom (Blade and Soul Guild @ mmosite) Also a great resource for all things B&S related.
Registration Guide from Blade and Soul Dojo Another great resource for B&S
English patch for B&S CN(Most of UI translated and some ingame text)

Eden Eternal Information

So I know Eden Eternal's been released for a while now. There is quite a lot of hype surrounding this game but I haven't caved yet. Mostly due to some game functions that I dislike and aren't too excited about.

The most prominent thing I can think of is the unique class system. Supposedly you are able to switch classes on a whim whenever you'd like. Each individual job has its level and awards you with different costume/appearance as you reach a "tier." This means that your avatar's appearance will not change based on what equipment you have on. They do however, have a dye system that lets you customize the colors of your class costume.

There are 15 unlockable classes:

I am rather pleased by the attention this game has gotten despite being a game developed by a non-korean company. It's developed by X-legend and is known as Finding Neverland Online in China.
So far, the American publisher (Aeriagames) has already added 2 additional servers (total of 3). They've also created an official wiki for the game here.

Aeria is also promising an update with a new race known as Zumi. They are rat-like creatures and I really don't think much people will use them. They're not too cute. lol

Dragonica New Updates

According to the Warp Portal forums at Gravity, there is news of servers Vyvern and Dekard merging as one. However, the name of the new server will be Vyvern (I am a Dekard native so =[).
To solve any name duplicity issues, all Dekard characters will be prompted for name change when logging in whereas Vyvern characters get to keep their names and will not be offered name changes.
 Guilds and Rankings will also be reset.

For more info about the merge check this topic: Realm Merge Details

As of now, there is also no OFFICIAL launch date or client download. Warp Portal has stated that they are currently testing 4th classes as well as the My House system.
Another update will be given around the 27th (with a possible new client).

Stay tuned for more information.

Vindictus Early Access Beta Key

It's been a while since Early Access has started for Vindictus. It's been really hard to get codes since all the game portal sites have already given them all out.
I also just got my code today due to the nice people at the Nexon forums so I will have a giveaway!

I will be emailing keys on random now and I hope that receivers will send back keys to continue this giveaway!

Please leave your email. Hopefully, things work out. If not, be sure to check out the Nexon forums. You have to be quick there if you want a code.
My ingame name is Millennia on the East Server. Add me if you'd like.

First: Gene (1st commentator) - sent back

Second : CartmanJr (25th commentator) - sent back
Third: Metal (60th commentator) - sent back

Thanks Gene and CartmanJr for helping out!! You guys are awesome!!

It would help a lot if you send me back 1 or both codes if possible so I can continue this giveaway.
Sadly, some people haven't returned emails and their codes have been used too so I'm running out of keys. Please send back keys. That's what this giveaway is running on!!

Please note that if you comment when I am not actively checking the post, I will not email you because I am trying not to send keys to people who might have received them already. You may try commenting again and please only request a key if you are going to give back.
