Posted by Xai as Event Coverage, Gaming, Online Gaming, PC

Last June 17, the launch party for Granado Espada (GE) Open Beta was held at Zouk, Singapore. Considering GE's reputation for being one of the newest and biggest MMORPGs to go live this year, it's no surprise that the launch party featured a lot of major events.
