2006 "Bright Kingdom" Net Cafe Tour Festival Held at Nekka Akihabara Store

　On May 27, High Five Entertainment held an offline event "Net Cafe Tour Festival" for MMORPG "Bright Kingdom Online", which the company plans to service, at Internet cafe "Nekka Akihabara" in Akihabara, Tokyo. 　The net cafe tour festival has already been held in Osaka/Nagoya, and the event at Nekka Akihabara was the last day of the event. 　Although the weather was bad with light rain on the day of the event, dozens of fans (in the end, less than 50 participants gathered at Nekka) gathered at the meeting place, JR Akihabara Station, and climbed the Bright Kingdom. Under the guidance of Mr. Shiomi Sawa, CEO of High Five Entertainment, he paraded through the streets of Akihabara and headed for Nekka. 　When the party arrived at the venue, Mr. Sawa, who served as the moderator, first gave greetings and words of gratitude, and then Mr. Sawa and the participants actually enjoyed the game. was told. By the way, the accounts distributed to the participants on the day all had the word "monja". This account was created for an event in Tokyo, but it is said that the word "takoyaki" was used at the Osaka event and "misokatsu" was used at the Nagoya event. This is a typical idea of ​​Mr. Sawa, who never forgets his sense of humor.

Once the participants had a general understanding of how to operate the game through detailed explanations, a hide-and-seek tournament was held as an in-game event. . The finder was presented with an imitation "Shioniku sword" from Mr. Sawa's hand (Aside from the Shioniku sword, there is also a sword called the president's sword, but it is Mr. Sawa's exclusive use. appears to be equipment).

　The game event that followed was a cooperative play tournament using the "Kingdom Quest" function, which is a characteristic system of Bright Kingdom Online. Participants are divided into 4 teams from A to D, and it is an event to subdue the boss monster.
　Kingdom Quest is a so-called "reservation-only instance mission" that allows multiple players to easily enjoy party play. Like this tour festival, even players who meet for the first time can participate / experience smoothly.
　Each team challenged Kingdom Quest with some time difference, but it was a party play with beginners who touched Bright Kingdom for the first time and veterans who participated in the checkup (closed beta test). It seems that few teams succeeded in subjugating the boss monster. However, I think that all participants were able to realize one of the great attractions of online RPGs, "together with everyone to face difficulties". In addition, Mr. Sawa's consideration was also pleasant, such as holding a dance competition (using social) in a hurry so as not to bore the team that had finished the quest first.

After that, a lottery was held for all participants, and gorgeous prizes such as iPods and LCD TVs were presented.
　Also, on June 16th, they will release a Bright Kingdom Online fan book, and in cooperation with Circle K Sunkus and a certain confectionery maker, they will announce that they plan to roll out a gift campaign nationwide where they can win in-game items. New information on future developments was also revealed.
　Finally, Mr. Sawa said, "Until now, it was a run-up period. We will renew the official website on May 29th, connect it to the brush-up period scheduled to start on June 5th, and make Bright Kingdom even more exciting. Even if the work becomes a big hit and the company grows, we will continue to create opportunities to interact with the players like this time.” I appealed for persistence.
　Currently, on the official website of the same work, pre-registration for brush-up has started . If you are interested in this work, or if you are interested in it, please register as a member in preparation for the brush-up that will start on June 5th . (Masashi Ohji)
