Fiesta Celebrates Independence Day

Independence Day is almost here, and Fiesta has one heckuva celebration planned for the big day. The game’s name does mean "party," after all.

Events include an Independence Day parade on each game server and an after-party featuring GM tax relief to help ease the strain of adventuring on players’ weary wallets.

Patriotic players planning to show off their spirit in the Independence Day parade can buy one of Fiesta’s new Independence-themed items available in the Fiesta Store on July 1st, including a red, white, and blue Liberty Hat, an Uncle Sam Pet, and of course… FIREWORKS! Fiesta players can also purchase a new mount and mini house modeled after The Statue of Liberty.

Join the party in Elderine on July 3rd, where the parade will continue to OX Field and the GMs will shower players wearing, riding, or using any Independence Day items with treasure chests.

Pandas are Cool, and World of Kung Fu Panda Costumes Rule!

[Shanghai, June 26th, 2008] – China is known around the world for its ancient culture and beautiful scenery. World of Kung Fu, the 3D MMORPG from VestGame Entertainment, is based on the martial arts and mythology of ancient China. It also incorporates some of its unique wildlife.

Kung Fu and the pandas are both part and parcel of the Chinese experience. World of Kung Fu players can now enjoy Kung Fu and pandas at the same time. The panda costume, a set of lovely clothes which makes the player look like a panda, is a highlight in the World of Kung Fu. It can be worn by players of all classes.

That means the players can become a Kung Fu Panda, which is anything but ordinary. Players wearing the panda costume look really cool when they fight. It looks great when two or more players in panda costumes get together – a regular panda convention!

Recently, our in-game helpers and guides, known as “Game Sages” held an event where they gave away panda costumes. Players were able to trade certain inventory items for the costume, which is now available in the item mall.

Players wishing to participate in similar events held by the Game Sages should check out the forums on the World of Kung Fu website for specific times. These in-game events are based on a variety of themes and activities, and are always popular with the players. The Game Sages are a helpful and enthusiastic addition to the World of Kung Fu experience.

NCsoft unleashes the Bling Gnome, a loot eating, gold pooping sidekick found exclusively in the new Dungeon Runners retail pack

The Bling Gnome has been let loose on the caves of the irreverent massively multiplayer online PC game Dungeon Runners where it will follow players around, eating item drops and converting them instantly into gold which it excretes from its enchanted bottom.

The Bling Gnome, found exclusively in the new Dungeon Runners retail pack, is a bejeweled gangster helper that will save players the tedious chore of picking up loot and taking it to a game merchant for storage or sale. Instead, the Bling Gnome has the ability to pick up most items and convert them into gold instantly in a gassy display from its rear end, no matter what game map the player is occupying.

Additionally, during a particularly flashy “swords-into-goldshares” conversion process, the Bling Gnome will produce magical droppings where players can find powerful items, along with gold. The more items a player picks up at one time, the better chance that the Bling Gnomes’ miraculous buttocks will produce an uber-item.

“Having the Bling Gnome around can be highly lucrative and useful, providing players with lots of ‘back-end’ profits,” said Stephen Nichols NCsoft’s producer and lead programmer for Dungeon Runners. “Actually, this is a pretty innovative tool for MMOGs, and we are excited about the response our players are having towards this feature. The Bling Gnome is exclusive to the new retail pack, but those who purchase that box will get a great value with 6 months membership level for the cost of four, as well as the Bling Gnome which should help any player’s ‘bottom’ dollar.”

The Dungeon Runners retail pack will be available at most North American retailers by June 26 for $19.99, and includes six months of premium membership level play. Currently, premium membership costs $4.99 per month and includes higher levels of experience, greater rewards, advertisement-free play, an exclusive server, extensive potion stacking, larger bank storage and access to the most powerful items, weapons and armor.

Additionally, the retail pack includes a client for NCsoft’s free-to-play mech PvP shooter, Exteel.
