“How often do you play GE and when did you first start?”
I was assigned as Community Manager and had an advanced pass before the OBT was released. I played (as in leveling) a couple of hours every other day.
“How did you find out about GE?”
Through e-Games
“What are the features of GE that draw you into it?”
The MCC system, beautiful costumes and armors, and of course, the overwhelming background scenery of paradise.
“Have any interesting incidents happened to you in GE? Do you think things would have happened differently if you weren’t a gamer girl?”
Before, almost everyone was skeptic that I was a girl. Especially when I became the Community Manager for Philippines. Here, they call the “girl pretenders in-game” as chixilog. XD~ I would not change the wa or who I am in-game. It’s what you do that counts.
"What type of gamer are you? Achiever, Socializer, Explorer, Killer?"
I’m a Socializer (according to the test) - People with high Socializer scores enjoy interacting with other people, forming organizations, and finding cooperative solutions to the challenges within the virtual world.
"What are some of your favorite activities within GE or what is a typical day life for you in GE?"
My favorite activites in-game would be in-game events, server visits and faction visits. A typical day in GE would be being PK’ed and then PK’ing back! (LOLz~)
"What are some struggles you face as a gamer girl in real life?"
Besides guys whining after getting pwned? Kidding! Most of the time, I just go with the flow of agreeing that yeah, I’m a lad. Because most of the time, the conversation would get so very long, and they’d often bully you or yes, PK you at the end of the interesting chat. (LOLz~) Although life in-game as a girl isn’t really that hard. It’s actually fun being teased as “one of the boys” (which is the other way around though).
HER WORLD
Name: Bea
Age: 24
Occupation: Former CM / Assistant Product Manager | Corporate Sales Account Officer
"Have you ever dated someone you met in-game? Do you believe that romance can be found in-game?"
Yes. Although it ended up in a group date, and I hence call it a “friendly date.” Be it in-game or across the country, I believe if you and the opposite sex has the same passion, just like online games, then you both would have something to share & enjoy, and of course, as long as you are both happy, then nothing else matters.
"What is a typical day for you like in real life?"
I’m currently renting in a boarding house where there is an Internet Café Shop downstairs (my fiancé and his brothers are the owners), so I usually sleep late because of the noise, or of course, playing LAN games with them. I work so hard, and I party occasionally or go out-of-town to calm my nerves for every quarter of the year.
"When and how did you first start gaming?"
Besides the 1st ever videogames that I’ve tried since I was 5 or 6 years old, I started playing MMORPGs around grade school (that’s where I am going to the awkward age XD) when my cousin introduced me to the website: www.mmorpg.com where we can find new releases – mostly those that we can play for free for awhile.
HER HEART
"Describe a memorable incident that created an impact on your life."
Going to Singapore for the first time! I’ve always wanted to travel, even here in the Philippines, being in e-Games & going to different places certainly made my wish come true. Going out-of-town or out-of-the-country gives me privilege to know a lot of different cultures. I have this habit of finding out unique habits of other people. Next year, I’ll be able to go to Thailand as well after my wedding.
"What is important to you in life/what principles or values do you live by?"
My fiancé is very important to me. He will be my other half, and the one that will give me more experiences like building our own family & my career path. I usually adhere to this line: “don’t whine, don’t complain, don’t think too much; be content & satisfied on what you have.” Life is simpler on that kind of principle, don’t you think? ^^
"Who are your heroes (both in-game and real life) and why?"
As I’ve portrayed here in my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9QU_xSTS3E; the Philippines community of GE have been my heroes. They’re the ones that give me reason to be in this game: “enjoying it to the fullest!”
"If you were a beauty product, what would you be and why?"
I’m not exactly keen on this one, but I have to say lip gloss. It gives you the shine & gloss, plus protection that you need in track of playing in-game, or hanging out with your GE mates (I don’t know if I made any sense!)
"And what item in GE would your dream guy be and why?"
He ain’t no dream no more~! I would have to call him as my “Expert Scroll.” He’s expert in anything that he does.
