Deciding Review To Buy FFXIV Or Not..



Its Been 3 days since I’m looking for decent review for those who had experience and played on the first day of the newly release game, Final Fantasy XIV. As they said FFXIV is pretty much close to FFXI but more enhance gameplay and graphics. But as I read forum comments, its just carbon copy of FFXI and nothing new to expect.

And early this morning, one email just pop-in in and it’s my google alerts. At last a decent FFXIV Review from Filefront. Please do help me and decide whether to buy it or not just put comment below and tally it down before the week ends.

5,000 Users Account Banned On Battle.net Because Of Game Exploitation.


Blizzard is taking steps now to violators, hackers, and who exploits to boost their performance in all real-time strategy StarCraft II! And as the results, remove 5000 users and terminate access to Battle.net last weekend.

“We have recently taken measures, including suspensions and bans for more than 5000 players of Starcraft II has violated the terms of use Battle.net cheating and / or using programs hack for parts. In addition to undermining the spirit of fair competition which is essential on Battle.net, cheating and piracy can lead to problems of stability and performance on the service, “said by Blizzard.

FYI, Blizzard has already been banned from more than 320 000 people who used to hack and exploit WoW, Warcraft III and Diablo II. This is not new, and Blizzard can easily cut access to the waste and put the penalty if you do violate their rules. So play fairly!

Phishing Scams Tactics


Phishing  is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details. Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail or instant messaging,[ and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one.

Blizzard's MMORPG World of Warcraft is one of the most popular games and the reason why it is most targeted by this phishers.

It is common knowledge that login credentials for WoW accounts are very much sought after by phishers.  Their target is to get your gold and pass all passable equips or items that have value.




The in-game chat/whisper system is often used to lure players to phishing sites. The phishers usually pose as Blizzard employees or unknown players and "whisper" to the victim that they have been selected for receiving a free gift or that their account has been flagged as hazardous:

In both cases, the victims are urged to follow the offered link that will take them to a phishing page where they are supposed to register with their account credentials in order to receive the gift/prevent the suspension of their account.

Recently, WoW's in-game mail system has also been employed to deliver similar malicious messages to players:

To add to the credibility of the message, the text and the offered phishing URL make many references to WoW and other Blizzard games. The website in itself resembles very closely the official Battle.net site, making it easy for some people to fall for the scam.

Blizzard is aware of these phishing attempts, and has made it their business to intensify its efforts when it comes to informing the players about them on Battle.net’s security page. They have also made it possible to report scammers from within the game (see, for example, the "Report Spam" button in the in-game mail system).

One of the very common and very annoying problem while playing DotA is Lag & DC or Disconnection. This is most hassle part while playing and can lost your momentum. This can delay of the game, ruin the game and may results to remake. See the list below of tips which ma help you reducing lag while playing DotA.

-          Make sure you have better internet connection at least 512kbps. As much as possible avoid using wireless internet connection.
  • At Garena, play at your country rooms. The ping at your country room had low ping, so less chances of lag.
  • Close all programs while playing that eats internet bandwidth. i.e. uTorrent, Skype, any messenger, Firefox, any download managers and especially don’t watch porn while playing. You don’t want teammates get mad at you.
  • Avoid joining on host with “X” pings, coz the connection is not stable and start experiencing lag and disconnect thru game.
  • If you get disconnected, just rejoin the room to refresh your ping.
  • If you plan to be host, you must do the above things I said and make sure you have good PC.
  • Add your Warcraft 3 at your Network Firewall safe list so it does not block any port which Garena uses.
Hope this basic guide can improve your gaming experience. Just remember, you’re playing game for entertainment enough for trash talk and enjoy the game!

TIPS: Tunneling / Tunnel does not reduce lag/delay problem. This tunnel only works for a player can’t see the game server of other players.
