Grand Chase Philippines pays their respects to former President Cory Aquino by giving away special items and holding special events in honor of the great woman.  Grand Chase is a free-to-play, two-dimensional side-scrolling MMORPG developed by the Korean company KOG Studios and is published by Level Up! Games.

Two events have been held to commemorate the former President.  Anyone who logs in to Grand Chase from August 4-10 were given 2 special items, a yellow flower and a yellow ribbon good for seven days.  Players can offer their flowers by going to the Grand Chase Park and offering the flowers on the altar.  Also as a special tribute, 3 rainbows can be seen on August 5 to commemorate the burial of the former President.

The Grand Chase GM team indulged us by answering a few questions regarding the tribute.  This short interview is courtesy of Lhyriance.  

Q: Who thought of putting an in-game tribute?

A: It was thought of the Grand Chase Team and the game developers KOG right at the bat when we heard the news that the late president passed away last Aug 1

Q: What is Cory's significance to Grand Chase? Why the tribute?
