Anniversary Celebration (PH)

Apparently PH is going to have a strawberry filled November (rich with content) to celebrate their anniversary.

Here’s the official update:

“GC 1st Year Anniversary: Stronger than Ever! October 30,2009

GRAND CHASE IS ONE YEAR STRONGER!

Grand Chase, the Philippines’ first online fighting game, is celebrating its first anniversary, and it’s stronger than ever!

Since its launch, Grand Chase has grown into one of the most popular casual games in the Philippines today. Its colorful, action-packed graphics together with its fast-paced, arcade-style game play has made it a favorite among casual gamers looking for a quick and easy game to pick up and play with their friends. Even hardcore gamers find their fun here, with Grand Chase soon to make its tournament debut in Level Up! Live 2009. It’s been an exciting first year for all of us, and you can be sure we’ll be celebrating our anniversary with a bang!

For starters, we’re upping the level cap to 65 to help you beef up your stats and make defeating evil a breeze. We’re also introducing new stuff into the game, like the release of Arme’s Battle Mage job, as well as a new character, Amy the Dancer! If you’re looking for new places to explore, look no further than the soon-to-be opened Ignis Mountains dungeon! And as a big thank you to all who made Grand Chase such a grand success, we’re holding exciting events like the Holy Runes + Rune Upgrading Event, the Elemental Necklace Upgrading event, as well as another round of Gacha Redux! To put the icing on the cake, we will be hosting also the Join the Chase: Referral System Event making Grand Chase stronger than Ever!

A year may have passed, but the Grand Chase story is far from over! So join us as we look forward to more action and adventure for years to come!

Incoming Message from the Kingdoms of Kanavan and Serdin:

Greetings Grand Chaser!

You have done well in defending Bermesiah for over 1 year. The Queens from both kingdoms, and its people, would like to extend their most sincere gratitude to you heroes of the land. While most of our Grand Chase members are investigating the new continent Xenia, we are in need of able recruits to defend the Country from KazeAaze’s strikes and violence.

Grand Chase needs you to recruit 12 new warriors to join us in our intensifying battle against KazeAaze. There are many brave men and women out there who would be willing to join us, and even, be so eager to destroy the evil queen herself. It would also be a great advantage if you could seek out former or inactive Grand Chase warriors who haven’t logged in for quite some time and solicit for their aid.

When you have recruited 12 members to Grand Chase, we are prepared to reward you handsomely with the Limited Edition Pet Pierrot, exclusively for Grand Chase recruiters only. Furthermore, if some of your recruits also decided to add 12 more able-bodied troops in Grand Chase, they’ll be rewarded with the Limited Edition Pet Pierrot as well.

A card in which Pierrot, a circus clown, is sealed. Have this funny pet accompany you on your adventures!

Go and find these Grand Chase warriors of tomorrow! Together with the Grand Chase Masters: Ronan, Elesis, Lass, Arme ,Lire, Ryan and Amy we will begin training these new recruits immediately and help hone their skills to the fullest. Once we have finally strengthened our army, Grand Chase shall become a force to be reckoned with!

Long Live the Queens of Kanavan and Serdin! Long Live Grand Chase!

GM Mac
Royal Ambassador
United Kanavan & Serdin Kingdom

*Full Rewards for Recruiters, Newly Recruited, Inactive Grand Chasers will posted SOON!*
