Operation Dragon Black - Jan 23, Monday

blitzio — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 11:59:11 +0800

Hey guys we would like to invite you to Operation: Dragon Black, a BF3 marathon on our server on Jan 23, 2012 @ 2pm then onwards

Here is a description of our event:

Operation Dragon Black is OMGeek’s massive Battlefield 3 operation for the month of January 2012. In addition to our overarching goals of teamplay, unit cohesion, and role specialization, we will simulate a protracted battle by setting tickets to 1000. Houses and buildings will crumble. Cities will be reduced to ruins, bit by bit. Tank husks will litter the streets. Millions of virtual dollars in choppers and jets will be lost–of course, not counting the ones flown by Those Guys who have all their vehicle unlocks maxed out.

Get ready for battle! The op happens on January 23, 2012, from 2 pm (GMT +8) onwards. Be here before then to ensure that you have a spot in a squad!

Hope to see you guys there!

OMGeek launches BF3 server this week! Also Prizes!

blitzio — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:33:54 +0800

Hey awesome dudes of Lowyat,

I'd like to give you guys a heads up that we are going to be launching our first BF3 server this week. It is hosted by i3d in Tokyo Japan. This allows us better penetration to the rest of the region, which peers and pings quite well to Japan. Think of it as a "neutral ground" that enables most of us to play together in our region without worrying too much with excessive ping. And as the core target audience is really the whole of Southeast Asia, so we want to get Malaysian PC gamers involved in our community as well

OMGeek is starting a donation drive! Not only you get a reserve slot for BF3, but you also get a chance to win a game every month! More details could be found here http://www.omgeek.net/support-omgeek/

Details of BF3 Server could also be found here http://www.omgeek.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=95

See you guys in the battlefield!

The State of PC Gaming in Southeast Asia

blitzio — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 18:10:07 +0800

Hey guys, I wrote an article about "The State of PC Gaming in Southeast Asia" and I wanted to share it with all of you especially since I plugged all you lovely folks here at Lowyat in the article

QUOTE

Like many pc gamers in the region, I long for low ping servers and the accessibility to hop onto a populated server with a decent crowd. However, the reality we face in our region is that of fragmentation. Spread across the archipelagos, Southeast Asian ISPs are not interlinked and peering with each other due to political or business reasons.
