WICKED INTERACTIVE'S PRISTON TALE KICKS OFF THE SUMMER WITH A FULL
MONTH OF SPECIAL EVENTS
The Summer Events Start Off With Free Fireworks Beginning July 1st at http://pt1.subagames.com/
Toronto, CANADA-June 30, 2009-- Wicked Interactive ( www.wickedinteractiveltd.com), a leading North American MMO publisher, today announced that it will launch a series of summer events for Yedang Online's popular MMORPG, Priston Tale. Players of Priston Tale can participate in the Summer Events beginning July 1st by going to http://pt1.subagames.com.
The Summer Events will consist of seven unique events during the month of July. Each of the events will begin on each Tuesday in July and will last for two weeks each. Priston Tale players will also receive increased experience rates throughout the month of July.
"We are excited to launch the Priston Tale Summer Events," said Garvin Yeung, CEO of Wicked Interactive. "We hope that our players will enjoy and take advantage of the free fireworks and other great events we have lined up while they enjoy their summer playing Priston Tale."
Event #1: Free Fireworks
The Summer Events will kick off by lighting up the night skies with free fireworks for all players of Priston Tale beginning July 1st to celebrate Canada Day, Independence Day in the U.S. and the beginning of summer.
Event #2: "Wanted": Morif
Once the best alchemist in the known world, Morif is now a wanted criminal. Morif turned his back on humankind in search of adventure but kept the secret of perfect item aging to himself. The nations of Priston viewed this as an act of ridicule and have ordered a warrant for the capture of Morif - dead or alive. Players can hunt down Morif and be rewarded with Sheltom forces and Sheltoms (which are used for upgrading weapons and skills).
Event #3: Nine and Tail Amulet
Priston Tale players are sent on a quest to help Praya, an assassin from a distant land. They need to find a pair of Amulets: the Nine Amulet and the Tail Amulet. When combined together, the Amulets form the seal of the love Praya once shared with the monster, Ninefox.
Generous rewards are offered in exchange for these valuables.
Event #4: Summer Ball Sports
The monsters are out to play - sports, that is! Hunt monsters from all over Priston Land to steal their ball. New items will include Beach Balls, Soccer Balls, Volleyballs and more. Players can activate these items to reveal their true worth.
Event #5: Mini Monsters
Miniature versions of monsters will be appearing at select areas of the Priston world!
Event #6: Summer Experience
Experience needed to level up characters will be increased by 50% on the weekends beginning July 3rd and again on July 18th. This will be followed by a month long Summer Experience Event starting again on July 28th and moving into August. Players are invited to take this chance to join the highest ranks of Priston Tale society!
Event #7: Ice Cream
After all, you can't truly enjoy summer without ice cream!

Numerous upgrades have been made to the battlefield system in GodsWar Online. With new methods to earn points, and three types of rewards, including exp, talent points, and reputation, the battlefields should be seeing a definite increase in activity.
Quote:

GodsWar Online: Battlefield System Upgraded
Stirring PvP, fabulous rewards, glory beyond the ken of the average mortal: all of these can be found in the Battlefields of IGG’s GodsWar Online. Improving upon the old system, the new Battlefields offer three main features outlined below to help you achieve victory and show off your combat prowess.
Four Methods to Earn Points
The faction that earns the most points will be proclaimed the winner, thus it is crucial to master all four methods: kill opposing players, kill monsters, kill bosses, and exchange items. Various monsters are distributed across the Battlefield, and they are not so easy to defeat.
Take Advantage of Items
Monsters are likely to drop Life Essence when they are attacked. If you make full use of the item, you will reap great benefits. Players can exchange Life Essence for Holy Water, which can be turned in for points at the altar. Life Essence can also be exchanged for a strong fighting buff, which will help players snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Three Types of Rewards
There is no joy greater than victory over your enemies. Battlefield winners will earn Experience, Talent Points, and Reputation. Exp will help in leveling, Talent Points will improve your skill, and Reputation can be exchanged for valuable E-Gold. All three will greatly aid your character’s development.
Forewarned is forearmed. Take this knowledge and use it to prove your mettle on the Battlefields, and perhaps even the gods will one day fear your name.

MMORPG.com Jade Dynasty Correspondent Olorunsegun Adewumi writes this look at the Modo class in the kung-fu MMORPG Jade Dynasty.
Quote:

I started playing Jade Dynasty on a bit of a whim. See I'd been playing every single MMO beta I could get my hands on, but I was finding myself bored out of my mind. Yeah I know it's a bit geeky but I want to have fun playing games. All the technical stuff bores the living daylights out of me. I had just stopped playing WoW again in February and before then I had played a year long stint in FFXI, so I was looking for something solid for the long term. I had played a little Perfect World International and I'd played the Beta of Ether Saga but they didn't really click with me. After playing something close to 30 betas I figured I'd see if Jade felt right for me.

In their most recent MMORPG.com blog update, the team from Wonderking takes a look back at the game's launch and how it was accomplished.
Quote:
When we were initially launching WonderKing (OBT) back in February of 2007, we wanted to use an unorthodox approach. Without any breaks between the phases, we launched CBT then OBT– in that particular order. We had that much confidence in the game. We definitely wanted to make an impactful first impression when launching the game in Korea, so we decided to direct our focus on game management. Among the essential aspects of game management, evaluating a user’s immediate reaction to the game was deemed a fairly important aspect. Therefore, for the well-being of our game, WonderKing, we jumped right in to inspect the features and put ourselves in the players’ shoes.
As predicted, we were overwhelmed by the number of users that participated. In fact, when the game first came out in Korea, our user population was so explosive that it made our Open Seed server crash! I definitely remember sleepless nights being very common those days. At one point, WonderKing was the most searched game title and the overall reaction from our users was very positive. With difficult and complicated games being the mainstream focus during that time, we broke away and worked on making an easy, comfortable, simple, and fun game for users. WonderKing was definitely a pioneer in refreshing the method of hunting monsters and resultantly gained the reputation of being a very creative game among users.

In his most recent blog update, MMORPG.com Spotlighted blogger cmagoun discusses the fact that, if the sum of something is good enough, people will overlook its problems. To do this, he cites the XBox 360 and MMOs.
Quote:
I am on my 4th XBox 360. Well, it might not literally be my 4th 360; I would have to check the serial numbers to see if the boxes were actually different or not, but this is the 4th time I will get an XBox into my home after a return or repair.
So... 3 hardware failures, more specifically 2 network port failures and, just so I didn't feel like a wierdo, a red ring of death. In total, I have spent over 6 hours on the support website and an estimated 18 or so hours on the phone with tech support. The most epic of those calls lasted over 2 hours and ended with me getting disconnected just before the tech authorized the repair, forcing me to repeat the whole call, and I mean the WHOLE call, including the "Is the cable plugged into the back of the console, Sir?" The second most epic call had the tech trying to convince me that the network connection really was working... hard to explain. I wish I would have taped that one.

Due to an error in my HTML, we are re-publishing Jason Chamberlain's 2029 article from yesterday. Turns out half of the page wasn't loading. Enjoy it again now in its full glory:
Quote:
You find yourself with amnesia on an alien planet called the 'Helen Continent'. Conflict is rampant; in-fighting between species has reached such a boiling point that global war has reached its post infancy stages and militant groups are forming. As each section of the planet fights for survival and dominance, you find yourself stuck in the middle of the conflict. Welcome home soldier.

I plan to begin this multi-part series on 2029, with a brief introduction of the various races and how they correspond to each skill tier. Over the course of these articles we will break down each race and its associated skills including the pros and cons regarding player-vs-player and player -vs-mob. It is important to get an idea of how you want to play your character as items to reset your skills are costly and you will not get a free 'Skill Reset Drum' until level 29. So let us begin with a brief overview of each race.:
WARNING: You will only be allowed one character per realm, so I would advise you to play around with each character class and find one you are comfortable with spending time developing.

MMORPG.com's Carolyn Koh reports from a recent IRC chat about bride crews in Cryptic's upcoming Star Trek Online MMO.
Quote:

In Star Trek Online, every player is the Captain of his own ship, but like the characters in the TV series, there are career choices. Captain Jean Luc Picard was a diplomat and archeologist, and players similarly will develop skills. Apart from the character development, players will recruit their Bridge Crews throughout the game. These are actually Bridge Officers; the Communications Officers, Science Officers and the like, your Spocks, Chekovs and Scottys, a distinct difference from your Ship Crew, which are your hundreds of nameless crew that help run and repair the ship. The gameplay mechanic for your Bridge Officers is somewhat akin to minions and pets. They are the "phat lewts" of the game and will be earned, leveled and can be traded, although some will be bound to you.

Hours of War
Today 10:36 AM by piri88
Hi there!
First of all I would like to thank the admins of this site allowing me to start a new thread about our game called Hours of War. We are developing a new kind of MMO War Strategy game, playable on browser. You are more than welcome to join in to our site, and if you need more information, like screenshots, trailer, and additional game info, they are available here:
Hours of War :: Home.
World War II is the subject we start with. The whole war is not covered, game starts from the beaches of Normandy 1944. The battle of Tali-Ihantala 1944 (Karelian Isthmus, Red Army´s great Summer Offensive) is also under development.
At the moment we are finalizing the beaches of Normandy, so Alpha testing phase has begun, and we are steaming towards the beta-phase. The final version of the game should be ready next autumn. As this is a browser playable MMO game (also MAC/Safari compatible), we will continuously bring new content to the game after the launch.
I post this thread to you, because, normally when someone is interested in online gaming, therefore MMO strategy games might interest people as well. Historical accuracy combined with unit amount ( all the naval, aviation and ground units, that took part to the specific battle!), equipment, supply and so on, challenge all the virtual-Patton/-Rommel to rewrite history.
If you want any kind of information, you can send me either private message, or you can send it straight to our game info address:
info@hoursofwar.com
Hope to hear your reply and see you at our site also!
Best regards!

In the Argent Tournament, once you reach Champion rank, this daily quest will open up for all Tournament participants no matter your faction. It can be acquired from Squire Artie within the Argent Pavilion and is among the most straightforward of daily quests. Artie is in charge of the makeshift chapel's collection plate, and is asking you to make a donation. You give him 10 gold, you get 100 reputation with the Argent Crusade as a reward. WOW Guide
Like the Sunwell Plateau's A Charitable Donation, the only purpose of this quest is to let you get some easy added rep. If you don't feel like knocking out that last Heroic to finish your trip to Exalted, you can just do this quest. Do you have a ton of gold but don't have much time to run heroics for reputation at all? Do this quest on a daily basis, and you'll eventually get rewards.
You don't have to do this quest, and not doing it has no negative impact on your Tournament progress. When you reach Exalted with the Argent Crusade, you no longer receive any reward for completing this quest. I'm sure a number of you will think to yourselves, 'Did this quest really need a guide?' Considering how many people stare dumbfounded at this Squire on my home server trying to figure out his purpose, I say yes. It did need one.
I played several trials with my brother (about 8x as i remember), bought the full version and played for 1 month (it was also after my boyfriend and i broke up after 3 years).
2 days after my subscription ended (lvl 20 at the time with my main char)savew0wgo1d(search), i had my final exam in school. I passed it and partied and lived for the next few months without thinking of WOW.
after I moved out from my parents apartment, I often felt incredibly lonely and because I don't live in the inner city, most of my friends don't want to visit me... they would rather visit someone else and ask me to come too.. it is indeed very sad..
after 1 month alone in my apartment I started to play WOW again.. after nearly 4 months of not playing I started again and lvld my main char to 30, then to 45 in 1 month.
I bought myself and my brother each a prepaid card for 2 months. We played, had fun, and I helped him to lvl his main char, we tried the BC expansion (didn't buy it though), we played on private servers too (just to test lvl 80 chars and WOTLK).SaveWoWGo1d
then, 2 months ago, I quit (when i reached lvl 60 with my main char) because I knew I was addicted, I had neglected my real life and my other hobbies, also I rarely got out to party with my friends.
I also had to concentrate on my studying at university.
Now that I know I want to change to another university and I have even more free time, I often feel the urge to play again..
My boyfriend isn't really able to help me because he never had an addiction like that and he doesn't know what to do.
Neither do I.

The 19th entry to the grab bag series is now available on the WAR Herald. The questions span a wide range of RvR related topics. This latest grab bag also unveils the Guild Rank 37 Dwarf mount.
Quote:
Q. When are the Dwarfs actually going to get a Guild Rank 37 mount that isn't simply a recolor of existing Dwarf mounts? I was highly, highly, HIGHLY disappointed at seeing ours versus the other ones. The horses look fantastic—ours are just hardly recognizable colors.
A. Our in-house Dwarf Engineers have been hard at work creating a new Dwarf Gyrocopter befitting of those who have earned a prestigious Guild Rank (37 or higher). We think you’ll really like how it looks. It will be comparable to the Guild Rank 37 mounts that the other races currently have. Below is a peek at what it looks like (please keep in mind there will be different colors).

Quote:

At the recent SOE FanFaire in Las Vegas, I made a point to speak with Salim Grant, the Lead Designer and Acting Producer of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes to get an update on the game. He spoke with passion and enthusiasm, if not a little fatigue.
"We've worked hard. Very hard in the past two years," he said, "to make Vanguard what it should have been at launch. Finally, we are at a point where we are deciding what to do next instead of asking what we needed to fix next."
