* Earliest Ravages Cosplayers appeared at a convention in 2002, after volume 6, four of them cosplayed Liaoyuan Huo, Sima Yi, Xiao Meng, and Diao Chan. We arranged to professionally photograph them at a friend’s photography studio.
* Since then, more cosplayers would appear during 2005 and 2006 conventions to support Ravages. Five Geniuses plus five other characters’ cosplayers gathered in 2007.
* Since Ravages game was in production, professional models were hired to portray Ravages characters for marketting purpose. But I don’t believe these professionals had the same love for Ravages as the hobbyist cosplayers did.
* Next year there will be a stageplay of Ravages in Hong Kong. Actors include Zhao Zhong Heng (Lü Bu), Guo Feng (Chen Gong), Chen Shi Wen, Deng Zhi Jian, Lin Na, etc.
