PAX 2009: We travel east with Rise of the Godslayer
Filed under: Age of Conan, Expansions, Massively Event Coverage
Age of Conan came to PAX pretty much directly off their announcement of the Rise of the Godslayer expansion. So when we arrived at our appointment to check the game out and speak with Executive Producer Craig Morrison, you can imagine our curiosity levels were quite high.
This expansion is taking players far into the eastern lands of Khitai, which is essentially a retelling of our own ancient eastern worlds. Something we were told right away is that Funcom wanted to avoid Japanese influences, as they’re fairly over-saturated in videogames. Instead, they’re going for a heavy focus on Korean and Chinese culture for the lands of Khitai.

The European connection in 9Dragons
Filed under: Fantasy, Historical, 9Dragons, News items, Free-to-play
Acclaim’s martial arts MMORPG 9Dragons is about to gain some more European fans, with the launch of Bardo Euro — their new European server. Bardo Euro promises to offer the European playerbase an improved game experience with better connections all around.
Apparently the players have been calling for a European 9Dragons server for some time; Acclaim is delivering on their promises to improve the game and is holding a number of special events to celebrate the launch:
- 30% off sale: All items in the 9Dragons Item Mall will be 30% off for 3 days only. June 6-8.
- Bonus exp rate events: Earn 2 times experience points by playing on the Bardo server. June 3-9.
- Monster spawn event: High level monsters will invade Bardo. June 3-5, 6, 8-9.
- VGM/GM PvP event: Test your martial arts skills battling against Acclaim VGM and GM staff. June 3-6, 8-9.
- Fireworks in Bardo: To celebrate the official launch of the European server, fireworks will light up the sky at random times from May 30 to June 8 on the Bardo server.
If you’re in Europe, why not give 9Dragons a shot? Roll yourself a Shaolin or Wu-Tang badass and see if you can take down a GM or two in martial arts combat.
