Irvine, U.S.A — Kill3rCombo unveils the third part of a three-phase gameplay revamp for the free-to-play manga inspired action MMORPG Elsword.

Building off the first two phases of “Elsword Awakened”, Kill3rCombo will be introducing a revamped version of Gates of Darkness, a tower defense-style level in which players will team up with three friends to protect sacred crystals from hordes of enemies led by a monstrous three-headed skeletal dragon.

The Gates of Darkness which was playable for a limited time last Spring is being relaunched with a host of significant improvements. A broader variety of enemies and an enhanced AI system will encourage more team play and strategic thinking particularly at the highest difficultly levels.

In addition, item drops will be more plentiful, making it easier for players to craft the high-level gear found exclusively in this dungeon. Finally, the Gates of Darkness will now be made permanent on weekends, allowing players to tackle this daunting dungeon through the Fall and beyond.

During the first two phases of “Elsword Awakened”, Kill3rCombo rolled out a complete revamp of the six characters’ skill trees providing a more balanced PvP, and improved the secret dungeons, adding a never before seen secret Velder dungeon.

In addition to the gameplay revamp, Kill3rCombo will also be providing a unique, two-weekend event on September 29 and 30, and again on October 6 and 7 during which players will be able to upgrade items normally capped at +10 to a special +11 level.

In Elsword, gamers can choose from six specialized and customizable characters as they explore an immersive world and battle rivals to complete dynamic quests. As players progress through the game, they can evolve their fighting styles by upgrading to new job classes, learn deadly new abilities and master combo attacks.

With intuitive and straightforward controls, Elswordoffers players of all skill levels the chance to experience the thrill of victory in combat, either on solo missions or cooperatively in a party of up to four players. For those who welcome a challenge, Elsword also delivers action-packed PvP combat.

Berlin, Germany — Publisher Gameforge has thrown open the gates to a new region for Runes of Magic players, Chrysalia. The region was shaped by the power of the four elements and is home to a new raid instance, the Kulech Bones Nest.

In this challenging dungeon, groups of up to twelve players can enter into battle against belligerent ant creatures, gruesome maggots and an evil ant queen. The latest episode of the RoMcast is also out today and shows scenes from the region, giving a closer insight into the new content.

Chrysalia lies in the north of the Taborean continent, a region carved by deep canyons that can only be traversed using the rickety bridges swaying above the drops. The region is inhabited by two ant-like races, the Garon and the Kulech.

The Garon are peaceable sorts and friendly to adventurers; the Kulech however, are to be feared and only approached if you are well equipped and prepared for a savage battle. The path to the Bones Nest instance will lead players by the serene Sanctuary of Balance, past mysterious investigation camps and production plants, through to the bloody battlefield. This is where the best of the best come to take on the Ant Queen and her hordes of minions.

You can find the latest episode of the ROMcast below:

On September 25, 2012 Knight Age, published by Joymax which is widely known for servicing Silkroad Online and Digimon Masters, launched its first major update since the opening of their free-to-play 3D fantasy MMORPG with unique riding-action. Among the myriad changes, the first content patch includes new boss pupae (unique pets) for players to collect. Knights can mount up and join in all the fun through the official website at http://www.joymax.com/knightage/

To celebrate the arrival of the new boss pupae, Joymax is kicking off a slew of events for players to explore. For a limited time, new characters will receive a basket of goodies when they first log into the game, including some lucrative cash shop items. Established characters will not be left out, as they will receive an EXP boost alongside an increased money drop rate for the next several weekends.

In addition, new items are now available within the item shop. Pupae and mounts which previously had a limited-time-use timer will now instead be a permanent item for all players who purchase them. No more worrying about losing a beloved companion as they will now be at your side forever.

Pupae are the unique pets each Knight raises and are invaluable companions during battle. Boss pupae in particular are highly sought after, as they have increased strength and unique looks as if a dungeon boss was miniaturized. Because these pets are a rare drop, only obtainable by defeating the boss in question and received as rare loot, the pupae have a huge collector’s value. Now with a total of nine current boss pupae, and more to come within the year, it’s never been a better time to collect, raise and combine your way to the ultimate pet and battle companion.

Knight Age’s thriving community can be accessed via the game’s forums, or on the official Knight Age Facebook which recently celebrated 10,000 likes, or on Twitter @KnightAgeOnline.  The more “likes” Facebook receives, the more events players will be able to participate in, so follow today.

NGames revealed on September 21, 2012, details of the wickedly challenging Devil Cave – a tough, disturbing night time variation of Valhalla for teams of players to tackle in Naruto and Bleach inspired MMORPG, Pockie Ninja II Original.

The world of Pockie Ninja II Original isn’t all about peace and tranquillity. Doomed, evil places are scattered throughout the land, the most evil being the the Valhalla sector of Devil City. Visiting Valhalla at night is not a feat for faint hearted ninjas, though it is a trip brimming with rewards for those bold and brave enough to tackle it.

9 Stages, 9 Bosses – Plenty of death

Valhalla at night is the newest dungeon to hit Pockie Ninja II Original. Each of the nine stages are guarded by viscous demon bosses, commanding armies of soldiers and possessed Naruto and Bleach characters ready to do their bidding. The nine stages are tough, but players well prepared for the battle will reap massive EXP rewards.

Stages increase in difficulty as ninjas progress, with higher and higher level requirements in place to protect players from attempting challenges too extreme for their characters. The easiest stage, “Endless Sea Forest”, is available from lvl.26, while the most difficult, “The Judicial Island”, requires lvl.106 to enter.

The harder the stage, the richer the rewards. Besides the EXP players earned from each stage, there will also be chances to win new rare equipment, outfits and special blades.

Solo players need not apply

Only teams of ninjas are accepted into Valhalla at night, which can be accessed a maximum of three times a day via the guards at the gates of Devil City. The punishing dungeon has a ban on potions – none are allowed. The only way to restore HP and Chakra is to rest. Players organise themselves on a character selection wheel and take it in turns to battle the demons of each stage; defeated players will be replaced by another until the end of the stage or everybody is dead.

Tactics play a siginifcant role in successfully navigating the multiple stages of Valhalla. Players must allow the weakened members of their team to rest for long as possible in order to guarantee victory.

Players unable to gather a team can choose their teammates from a lobby of solo players at the Valhalla entrance.

NGames, an online games publisher, has announced a newly added advanced hunting system for One Piece-inspired pirate MMORPG, Pockie Pirates.

Launched late August, Chapter 3: The Royal Seven has flooded the world of Pockie Pirates with brand new islands, dangerous new adventures and powerful new crew members – as well as introducing a host of gameplay improvements.

Continuing the improvements is the newly added high reward Advanced Hunting System event – one of the the most intense forms of group PvP in the Pockie Pirates world. Available between 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM every day, pirates battle it out with each other across new hunting islands for a chance to win massive EXP and Bounty rewards.

Upon entering the Advanced Hunting Island, groups of pirates square off against one another for the right to hunt EXP rewards and wild beasts. Players are split into two affiliations – attackers and defenders. Each side must use their combined stats and skills to outwit one another in a constant on-going battle.

Winners are granted access to the defensive hunting team – a group of successful players who are allowed to automatically search the Hunting Island for massive bags of EXP and roaming beasts. When caught, wild beasts directly increase the winners overall bounty, which scales according to the level of each individual player on the team.

Pirates in the hunting team must defend their privilege to hunt against new challengers. The defending team remains in place until all of their resources are spent.

With the speedy release of Dragon’s Call II (abbreviation as “DC II”), when some veteran players of Dragon’s Call (abbreviation as “DC”) are still living under a rock, DC II Open Beta Test is even slated to be launched on 22:00 September 25 (EDT), after this period of successful Closed Beta Test, game adjusted, bugs fixed and system improved, owed a lot to the enthusiastic participation by loyal players of DC, growing up with the official.

One of game journalists in Gamedp, Melisande questions the official’s behavior, thus arousing a heat debate in the game forum. In her point of view, DC II is the same game with DC. “Is it even a sequel? Has the ‘story’ progressed? Or is this DCII more of a new and improved DC? Looks different, but the same? Like Diablo 1 and 2, there is a progression, yes? Specifically in terms of the storyline.”

For most Gamedp players, they are satisfied with DC, since it was born 3 years ago, and after the comparison and contrast between DC & DC II, actually, DC II is not a simple sequel. Rokkumon, the community manager of the game points out “Just because a storyline progresses doesn’t mean it’s literally a sequel.”

Players even argue about “Beginning of the End”, the slogan of DCII, which means DCII is another beginning of DC end. Some are disagree with the title. “Why not make it a separate one, another slogan and all, and let DC slowly descend into the abyss.”

However, the truth is that, DC II based off all the base lore of DC even if with stuff added, new systems, and a different style of play in how the battle system and stuff like that.” Both do have the connection and disconnection, while the world is much more beautiful in DCII. But it does matter much that it is sequel or prequel.

Though the argument is still on, the official is moving on, and has announced the CBT end time is 10:00 pm Sept. 23th. Also, players who recharge during CBT could give 110% return but the server will be wiped before OBT kicks off.

Santa Clara, U.S.A. — Transform your web browsing experience with Starlight Story from Aeria Games, a leading global publisher of free-to-play online games. The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) will play host to a wondrous world in which magic and technology vie for supremacy, and players will be caught in the middle as they embark on a quest to prevent calamity.

Starlight Story revolves around a journey to save a dying planet, which requires a finite natural resource to survive. With that resource dwindling, the planet is on a collision course with total annihilation, and players must find a way to prevent impending doom.

To aid them in that task, players have access to Superstar transformations, allowing them to assume the form of previously slain bosses. These transformations are far more than cosmetic, temporarily giving players significant stat boosts.

Pet companions are integral to combat as well, fighting by the player’s side from the very beginning of the game. Pets also share in the Superstar transformations, taking on all-new shapes alongside their masters.

Mounts inStarlight Story are also for more than vanity; once equipped to a character these mounts provide stat boosts as well as the expected movement speed increases, and they also stay active during combat.

Starlight Story is browser-based and will not require a download, and like all Aeria Games titles, it will be free-to-play. Players can sign up for closed beta now at http://starlightstory.aeriagames.com.
