The company that revolutionized free play in Philippine online gaming is now the premier local game publisher in the country. IP e-Games, an IPVG company, since its introduction of the revolutionary free-to-play/item-based system, has leapfrogged other publishers to the forefront of the local online game market.
The company caters to the gaming public with only the best in online entertainment, gameplay- and quality-wise, providing great games without the hassles of time credits and prepaid accounts. Through the unlimited gameplay, players have access to their favorite games full-time.
“Our goal from the start has been to liberalize online gaming in the Philippines. We want to free gamers from having to worry about running out of credits while they are in-game. It is all about freedom to the gaming community,” says IP e-Games CEO Enrique Gonzalez.
IP e-Games has the widest selection of games to satisfy everyone, from casual gamers to core enthusiasts. Its flagship game, Ran Online, a campus-based Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), is the leading online game today, while rhythm game O2 Jam is the No.1 Casual Game in the country. In addition, IP e-Games also features Supreme Destiny, a classical fantasy MMORPG for those in the want for sword and sorcery, and Audition Dance Battle, which gives music lovers the chance to see their characters rule the online dance floor.
Also, IP e-Games proudly announces the arrival of another game in its roster, the celebrated triple-A MMORPG of Hakkyu Kim, Granado Espada. This revolutionary game boasts of a Baroque setting coupled with its unique feature, the Multi-Character Control system, allowing players to control three characters simultaneously.
As IP e-Games expands its market, “Freedom to Play Forever” is still its signature statement. “There's no obligation to buy our cards,” says IP e-Games President Steve Tsao. “You can play our games for free as long as you want. The cards are there simply to enrich the playing experience of our players.” These top-up cards are used to purchase in-game items that will help make their characters stronger, more powerful, or simply more fashionable.
As the revolution continues, what would be in store for IP e-Games and Philippine online gaming as a whole? “This is such a dynamic and vibrant industry we're a part of,” says Gonzalez. “Things are constantly changing, mostly for the better, as the technology improves and gaming becomes more accessible to the masses. We're just trying to do our part to further the gaming industry and the community at large.”
