Dear -Koyuchi-,
We'd like to thank you for allowing us to interview you, and you can answer these questions at your leisure. We also would like to thank you for the support you've given us, and hope you will continue to enjoy playing our game.

1. What country do you live in? How old are you? Do you have any pictures of yourself that we can see? If so, would you like us to put one on the official site? Send pictures to chloe@igg.com.
Singapore. I'm 19 this coming birthday. Yeah I've attached the picture on this mail. Sure no problem on that.

2. Where did you hear about Wonderland Online? How many hours a day do you play Wonderland Online?

I didn't really know about this game until my friend Kei told me about it. That was when I just got bored of another game and wanting to try new games for a change. When I first visited the official website, I loved the characters designed but I am not too sure of the game itself as I personally played RPG games before. So Kei and I joined the game and tried it, then we got really addicted to this game. I would say this is the first RPG game which is really interesting and interactive to play.
I am still a student so it really depends but on average it would be about 5 hours a day, and when I am having holidays and get some time to relax, I would be in game about 10 hours haha. It really depends on what I am doing in the game. Like for now, instances are being introduced to the game, I could spend half a day just playing instances. Still I can't be sure how many hours I really play a day. ^-^;;

3. Why did you join the All-Stars? What does being an All-Star mean to you?

I joined this mainly is to want my real life friends to join this game as well, as we know players from Singapore is fairly rare, through this All Stars, I can give my friends a much better reason to join this game :P . And maybe through this chance let me say thanks to all my friends in WLO and big hugs to all of them, love you all ! All-Star probably means spokesperson to me haha, well in better words would be representative for the game. :D

4. You said you enjoyed the 15 challenges event the most out of the events we have, and even joined in on it at midnight. What do you think attracts you to this event? What makes it fun?

I simply love the challenges of the 15 challenges, getting to clear the 15th round was my aim and it had been quite addictive. The attractions of this event I guess would be my ambition to get to Round 15, 15C trains combat skills and strategy which most of the quests requires that :D! Other than the little prizes given along the way, I still think that playing with my buddies are more fun, trying to clear all the way up to the 15th round and dying along the way, retrying the rounds and stuffs, love it when everything goes smoothly. (: Also when I got to 14th round, I'm just too overwhelmed by happiness and yeah and the adrenaline rush, trying to rush against the time limit. The sense of accomplishment would just come in when I finally completed 15 rounds of the challenges >:D!

5. I still remember the time when you joined in on the Piano Contest and won the top prize... it was a piano, right? How did you feel when you won that contest? Do you think you'd jump in if we had another Piano Contest? Version 4.0 has been out for a while now. Are you familiar with the music stereos? Did you know that the wedding march song was available to play on it?

Well to be honest it was kinda unexpected that I won as I didn't really expect myself to win more of joining the fun at the contest. But when I won I was really happy. And yeah if there is another Piano Contest I would want to join again. And yeah I am quite comfortable with the notes in the piano. Yep I know that wedding march song can be played on it as well. But I was quite surprised that the black keys on the piano is not able to be played, it will widen up the range of songs if blacks keys are allowed to be played. ^-^v It would definitely be lovely too!

6. What makes a completely unforgettable game experience for you?

For my WLO experience, there are 2 main things which are unforgettable. 1st is undeniably the quests and events in the game itself. Definitely a new experience for me as the games I played previously is very different from what WLO is, this game is interactive and I seriously loved the game interface, from the cut scenes pictures to the storylines, I would say this is a well designed game. The constant updates allows more game play for us gamers. And 2nd is the friends I made in WLO, these people are the ones who made the game so enjoyable for me :D. Moreover they are the ones accompanying me through hard times and share my sorrow and joy with. Lovely people they are ! Whenever I am playing with my friends, I would often forget about the time haha! <3

7. Do you mind if we share your guild's name with other players? How did you join it, and why did you end up accepting the invite? How many guilds have you been in during your time playing Wonderland Online?

Sure no problem. I am currently in Caramel in Virgo, for me the most important consideration is where my friends are, I wouldn't join a guild for the sake of joining one, I rather be with my friends. And in Caramel not only I get to be with my friends I also made new friends as well. What else can I ask for, they are such nice people. In Caramel, I also managed to make a friend from Singapore as well, we are kind of the 'rare' players there haha.
Let me see, I am not really sure of how many, but maybe at most 4? Which one of the 4 guilds I was in is created by myself, but I had to admit having a guild is hard there are a lot of responsibilities to it, and sometimes due to guild member problems and I might not be able to solve it, it really end up very head aching for me. But sometimes people does want to create unnecessary problems in the guild which might end up a disbanding of guild or losing of members, heart wrenching indeed. But still I will stick to the guild where my friends are, as they are the ones who made the game really enjoyable.

8. How often do you join in Guild Wars? Does anything interesting come to mind when talking about the Guild Wars?

I rarely join Trojan War as for me TW is joined under some circumstances, firstly the availability of the teams and who are we playing against etc, so unless I am asked by friends to join, if not I have a sleep to catch haha. But when we got the castle or being able to defend it, I really would say teamwork and strategy is so important in this game ^^. However, I am not a really big fan of Trojan War but it is really fun to participate in it if other players do not take it hard into their hearts. During TW, we have to fight against other guild members and often players, whom are our friends, sometimes, they would be unhappy about it. But still in TW I often pray I won't get to fight with my friends. Something else I realized is that some players are being too paranoid in these kind of Guild War events, they would even go to the extent of thinking that some of their guild members are spies from the other guilds, come to think of it, it's certainly funny.

9. Do you buy things from the Item Mall frequently? What items do you really like from the Item Mall's selection?

I do buy things from the IM whether frequently or not it really depends. When I first joined the game, I totally fall in love with the devil wings (Dark Evil Wings), as well as the bunny ears (Jade Ears) in the IM. Then when it was on sale, I went to get them. There are some IM stuffs in Kyoto as well which I often visit, as the robes from the IM is very enticing as well. And sometimes when it is my friends' birthday, I would gift them some gifts from IM as well. IM things make good gifts I really had to admit that, they are both useful and pretty such as alchemy books for friends who loved to play with alchemy? :D . Love them to the bits. And currently planning to get more strong scrolls to upgrade my Elf Beast Fork to 6 xD! It would be worth the upgrade though love it when my character can make big explosions on the enemies :P. Not to miss out, the IM e-Remote has also played a very big part in the leveling of my characters. What can I say more than it made leveling a much simpler job.
For now an addition to the fave is Purple Wing Robe, the purple version of Fur Clothes, just simply adorable when female characters wore it. Maybe one day I will get it ^_^! Afterall I like all the stuffs from IM, haha even its games, simply love to try my luck on Diamonds, to add to my equips, though most of the times my luck just isn't there :P

10. In the future, what do you expect out of Wonderland Online? Is there anything you'd like to tell your fellow players out there reading this?

Personally I would say WLO had been a great game for me so far, maybe there could be a new server for Asia players like for Singapore, Philippines and other Asia countries, the timing for those events would be midnight for us. :P and maybe the prices for some of the items in IM are a little too overly priced, maybe it would be nice if items such as Magic Set Box can be cheaper as the items we get are of random.
I wanna say 2 things, firstly to all of the WLO players out there, have fun in the game and play fair and enjoy the game, scamming isn't a very nice way neither is making use of your friends ):. Oh and people please be careful, as there are a lot of hacking cases recently, so please take real care of your accounts =/
Secondly I wanna tell my besties ( you know who you are :P) thanks for making me stay and helping me whenever I needed help, you guys being my greatest support I don’t know what else to say other than, thank you from the bottom of my heart! <3! Cheers and rock on!
Finally, we'd like to thank you again for letting us interview you. Your time is greatly appreciated, and we hope you continue to enjoy Wonderland Online!
