A3: STILL ALIVE TO ROLL OUT A SERIES OF SPECIAL BLOCKCHAIN EVENTS IN MAY

LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of mobile games, recently announced the completion of the global blockchain ecosystem for its dark fantasy open world mobile RPG A3: Still Alive with the integration of the MARBLEX Wallet DEX Service integration. Following the launch, the game is launching a series of special events throughout the month of May.

  • Red Diamond Giveaway Event (May 3May 23): As a special event for long-time global A3 players and ITU, MBX ecosystem supporters, users can obtain a total of 200 Red Diamonds throughout the servers as follows:

  • INETRIUM Airdrop Giveaway (May 20June 3): Users can obtain additional ITU upon completion of simple missions given by Gleam. Users with the top 100 mission scores will acquire 50 ITU, while users reaching above 160 entries will be eligible to be randomly selected to win 5 ITU. To participate, users need to download the A3 game app and link to the MARBLEX Wallet.

Moreover, the players are urged to check out the additional event to allow ITU to keep its valuation. The players can join the INETRIUM Buyback & Burn Event, where they can swap their ITU for a higher rate of MBXL. The details can be found here.

The recent introduction of the MARBLEX Wallet DEX Service feature to A3: Still Alive allows players to convert Inetrion Ore, an in-game currency, into INETRIUM, MBXL, and MBX, as well as convert to the public currency for real life transactions.

To obtain Inetrion Ore, players will need to visit the Inetrion Dungeon (Tiers 1-3) and use Radienne’s Protection to defeat the Inetrion Monster. After collecting more than 200,000 Ore and linking the MARBLEX Wallet with the INETRIUM Refinery, players can convert the Ore into INETRIUM based on the day’s exchange fee, with a percentage of currency used for conversion. Through the MARBLEX Wallet DEX Service, INETRIUM can then be used to buy and sell MBXL and can be converted to MBX to make live transactions to purchase KLAY.

Set in an apocalyptic fantasy world of swords and sorcery, A3: Still Alive is a cross-genre mobile experience that pairs the enormous and living worlds of Open-World RPGs with the extreme combat of Battle Royale. Players must be vigilant in an always-open Player vs. Player (PvP) environment as they fight against enemies with intense hack & slash combat and prove their mettle in a variety of PvP and Player vs. Environment (PvE) modes. A3: Still Alive is beautifully rendered with splendid console-quality 3D graphics that are brought to life thanks to the outstanding optimization of the Unity Engine.

A3: Still Alive is now available as a free digital download (with in-app purchases) on Apple’s App Store and Google Play, in 172 countries around the world. The game is also available for download as an Open Beta for Windows PC via the A3: Still Alive website.

Ottawa’s transit services ready to roll for Canada Day events: City

Ottawa's transit services ready to roll for Canada Day events: City

This will be the first Canada Day hosting in-person events with the LRT in operation.

Canada Day festivities at Lebreton Flats will bring some new changes to OC Transpo, but they’re not likely to raise any concerns.

That’s what Pat Scrimgeour, director of transit customer systems and planning, said at the City’s transit commission on Wednesday, May 18.

This is the first Canada day boasting in-person events with the LRT in operation, Scrimgeour explained, since the system launched in the fall of 2019.

“So, it’s new for us in a number of ways and we’ve also have a number of new staff who haven’t worked it before — so it’s new, it’s different, but we’re not seeing any major obstacles,” Scrimgeour said.

The main pressure point for Canada Day is directly after the fireworks show, since a large number of people are trying to access transit all at once, he added.

Scrimgeour said the transit company is confident that train and bus capacity will be able to accommodate those coming or leaving Canada Day events.

The director is also encouraging Ottawa residents to use transit to access Canada Day festivities, reminding ridders that fares will be free on that day.

The transit agency is also confident that it has the train and bus capacity necessary to accommodate the expected crowds on July 1.

Rolling Thunder biker event set to roll into Ottawa

Rolling Thunder biker event set to roll into Ottawa


Ottawa police are promising a large police presence will be deployed today, as the Rolling Thunder biker rally rolls into the capital.


The “Rolling Thunder Ottawa” website doesn’t provide many details about the rally this weekend, but events are scheduled for today, Saturday and Sunday at the National War Memorial, on Parliament Hill and at a church in Vanier.


The first event of the weekend is a Freedom Fighters Canada rally and march at 6 p.m. on Parliament Hill.


As the bikers and supporters arrive in Ottawa for the event, a motor vehicle exclusion zone is now in effect in the downtown and ByWard Market areas.


“No motor vehicles involved in any event are permitted inside this zone,” police said. “However, the roads are not closed. Residential and business traffic, as well as pedestrians, cyclists and public transit are permitted.”


Interim Chief Steve Bell told reporters on Thursday there will be vehicles and physical barriers set up at some locations around the exclusion zone.


“City barricades, heavy equipment or police officers and police vehicles will be at various patrolled access points surrounding the vehicle exclusion zone to filter lawful traffic onto and in and around those streets,” Bell said.


“This weekend, residents will see a large and sustained police and enforcement presence, including bylaw and parking enforcement.”


Officers from Ottawa police, Ontario Provincial Police, the RCMP and municipal police forces will be deployed across the downtown area for the protest.


There will be no on-street parking or stopping anywhere inside the exclusion zone, which covers Waller Street, Wellington/Rideau street, Bay Street and Laurier Avenue.


Parking within the zone is available in parking lots and garages. On-street parking will be permitted this weekend in the ByWard Market.


Mayor Jim Watson says the city is ready for this event.


“I’m much more confident with the preparation for this particular convoy made up of about roughly 500 motorcyclists,” Watson told CTV’s Power Play. “We have exclusion zones where these people cannot drive their bikes through residential neighbourhoods and we also have a greater police presence.”


‘UNWELCOME PARTY’


Two kilometres away from the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill, Community Solidarity Ottawa is hosting an “Unwelcome Party” this evening.


“We cannot let this go unchallenged,” organizer Brian Latour said.


CSO says they wanted to do something to send a message to the Rolling Thunder biker rally that they are not welcome in Ottawa. The event also aims to publicly demonstrate how much of a disruption the convoys have had on Centretown residents.


The “Unwelcome Party” begins at 5 p.m. at Strathcona Park in Sandy Hill.


NO STOPPING ZONES


Ottawa Bylaw says enforcement will begin at 7 a.m. for vehicles violating the Special Event No Stopping Zones in the exclusion zone.


The exclusion zone for no stopping and no parking is Waller Street, Wellington/Rideau street, Bay Street and Laurier Avenue.


OTTAWA CITY HALL


Ottawa City Hall and the underground parking lot are now closed for the weekend.


The city says City Hall and the parking lot are off-limits to the public until Monday.
