The Mediterranean Sea
The first station of our “Around the World” activity (http://vc.igg.com.) is: The Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea is not only a spawn place for players but also an important place for them to explore. The whole region includes 7 cities (Athens, Istanbul, Beirut, Alexandria, Tripoli, Alger, Barcelona, Genoa, and Venice) with 5 islands as well (Thasos, Lemnos, Cyprus, Crete, and Corsica). Now let’s check out some of the cities.
The North Atlantic
The North Atlantic is an important place with the highest population density in VCO, which includes 9 important cities: Sevilla, Lisbon, Bordeaux, London, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Oslo, Stockholm, and Reykjavik. If I say the North Atlantic is a traders heaven, that wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Let’s have a look at these wonderful cities.
The African Coast
Along the Atlantic, head south and you will find the “Gold Mountain”: The African Coast.
The African Coast includes 9 cities : Madeira , Las Palmas, Dakar, Accra, Luanda, Cape Town, Mozambiqu, Suez, Babylon and 3 islands ,Santa Maria, Faial and Madagascar&.
The Hanging Garden is worthy of being regard as one of seven wonders of the world. Construction of the garden wasn’t only complicated by getting water to the top, but also by having to avoid having water wreck the foundation once it was released. You can’t miss the garden when you are in Babylon.
Indian Ocean
In VCO there are comparatively less harbor cities in the Indian Ocean than in other places. There are only 5 cities: Mogadishu, Aden, Muscat, Bombay, and Ceylon. Now let’s have a look at these east cities.
The Sixth Station of “Around the World”: American Continent
In order to impress our players, today let’s abandon the gorgeous architecture and go to have a look at the different views of South America.
South America——Tortue
North America——Hurricane Island not available at present

One of the greatest features of Tales of Pirates Online (http://top.igg.com) is the fantastic sea exploration, sea commerce and sea battle systems. Unlike other online MMORPGs, the ocean plays an extremely important role in ToP, with the dominators being the most fearless voyagers!
However, it’s quite a challenge for ordinary players to become excellent explorers. To realize this dream, they have to train themselves hard from Lvl 1 to Lvl 10 to become explorers first, then continue their training through to Lvl 40, by that time, they can become beginning-level voyagers. But to become really qualified as voyagers, there is still a long way for them to go!
Firstly, they need to improve their skills. There are various types of skills for voyagers to learn, from the practical Diligence, Current, Conch Armor, Lightning Bolt, Tornado and Alga Entanglement, to the advanced Conch Ray, Fog, Lightning Curtain, Tail Wind, and Whirlpool, if they could well-master two or three of these skills, their power would be strengthened significantly.
Second of all, they have to upgrade their battleships. Most of the voyagers will very likely have to choose the more forceful types such as the Phantom, the Goddess, and above all, the Great White Shark. If they can upgrade their ships to a higher level, the road to the top will be shortened greatly for them.
Moreover, money is important in any game, and lucky for ToP voyagers, they can take full advantage of their special abilities and hunt for countless treasures by exploring over the vast ocean, or simply dealing with sea commerce. Once they have accumulated enough fortune, they can purchase advanced weapons, armor and other items to further improve themselves.
Sound interesting? Well, for more details on the characteristic ToP professions and many other cool features, please visit the Tales of Pirates official website at http://top.igg.com.
Tale of Tales celebrate Halloween with the Velocity Festival of Digital Culture
Only a few weeks after the release of Phase Three, Tale of Tales have released a new version of The Endless Forest to accomodate for the events that will be happening throughout the month leading up to All Hallows Eve (31 October) and Day of the Dead (2 November). This in response to an invitation from UK cultural organisation Folly for their Velocity Festival of Digital Culture that takes place in Lancashire from 11 October to 3 November.
http://folly.co.uk/velocity
The Endless Forest is a multiplayer game where everyone plays a magical deer. There’s no goals or missions or chat. Gameplay centers around being creative and imaginative in a peaceful community. This month, the usual idyllic landscape will be overtaken by an ominous blanket of mist whenever a visitor of the Velocity exhibition logs in. This visitor will be represented as a frightening Deer Of The Dead that players can trick for treats.
http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/halloween.html
More horrifyingly amusing elements will be added throughout the month. Culminating in a splendiferous celebration on Dia De Los Muertos, at the occasion of the final week of the exhibition of The Endless Forest in Museo Tamayo in Mexico City.
http://museotamayo.org
Tale of Tales is a games development studio located in Ghent, Belgium. It was founded by media artists Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn in 2002 with the explicit purpose of creating "elegant and emotionally rich interactive entertainment". Next to The Endless Forest, they are also working on a single player horror game inspired by Little Red Ridinghood, entitled The Path.
"Celebrating Halloween in The Endless Forest is motivated by our interest in storytelling across cultures. As with so many traditions, the history of Halloween spans many centuries and locations. It connects ancient Celtic rituals with Catholic feasts all the way to contemporary consumer culture. The Endless Forest is a monument to harmony and peace. It explores the stories that connect people through space and time."
Stories about death and decay in this case. But a hell of a lot of fun anyway!
The Endless Forest can be downloaded for free from

Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com) brings surprises to its “pirate community”, and the new coming Mysterious feature Black Market is just another one.
With the opening up of the Black Market, players will be able to obtain rare items at extremely favorable prices, as long as they are good at judging the real values of some ordinary-looked items.
How does the Black Market system works? Well, basically there are two options for the players.
Option 1: players could go find an NPC at the frozen Icicle Castle and exchange for rare items with the items required by the NPC, the items for exchange refreshes every once in a while, and so are the required items.
Option 2: players could buy some unknown items from NPC first, then “brush” them to know what exactly they are. What they could get totally depends on their luck then.
For more details about the interesting systems that ToP contains, you could head over to its official website at http://top.igg.com to dig them out yourself.
