Beginning 30th October until 3rd of November we’re inviting players to come back and play LOTRO. The doors will be open for former players to enter the world of Middle-earth and prepare for the journey into the Mines of Moria™.

All you have to do is download or patch up to the most recent version of the game client and log in on 30th October. Your account will already have been re-activated for you and your previous characters will be there waiting to resume their adventure!

GodsWar Online: Alpha Test Coming

IGG is very happy to announce that the GodsWar Alpha test will be released in the beginning of November and will last nearly a month. IGG would like to present some special players with activation codes so that they can experience the game in advance of others. After the test ends, all character information will be deleted, but the honor of being the first to step into this new 3D world will last a lifetime.

GodsWar Online is the first fully IGG designed and produced 3D MMORPG, based on ancient Greek mythology and culture. Shakespeare said “All the worlds a stage…” but in GodsWar Online, ancient Greek Gods and Heroes share the stage, and the results are anything but graceful and elegant. More often than not they are down right ugly and brutal, as each fight for domination of the Greek Empire. Amazing graphics, distinct classes, a powerful combination system, a unique faction PK system, and abundant quests make GodsWar Online a distinctly unique MMORPG.

Zu Online: Halloween Gifts

With the release of version 1.5.06, two Halloween events have been added to the game so players can enjoy Halloween in Zu Online.

Will you give him a trick or a treat? But bear in mind if you treat him well you may be pleasantly surprised!

Establish Guild Colonies with BBO

Info series for the upcoming colony add-on for Bounty Bay Online has started
From December on, player guilds in Bounty Bay Online will be able to establish entire colonies everywhere in the maritime world with adjoining cities and harbors. Already before Christmas Frogster, will publish this second free of charge expansion under the working title “Colony Add-on”. In the official forum the Berlin based publisher has started with an info series for this big content-update, which will present all features in detail on a weekly basis. The first part explains the colony harbor system. The new quests are being introduced in the second part of the info series.

On the webpage interested players can register themselves for Bounty Bay Online and sail away immediately.The info series about the colony add-on begins with the colony harbor system, the core piece of the expansion. Thanks to this new feature it will be possible for all guilds from December on to establish their own colony and to build their own city with a harbor. In the different harbors it will be possible to import, stock, produce and trade various goods. Colony owners can decide for themselves between three different outer appearances. In this way, successful guilds create for themselves an individual and distinctive home and retreat. Besides the outer appearance, colony owners have the choice between four different development paths. These paths define the future function of a colony.

Players can choose from the following four possibilities:
• Industrial Harbor: Specializes in the research of weapons, armor and the trade of pets.
• Business Harbor: Specializes in the trade of materials between the different colonies.
• Collectors Harbor: Specializes in importing and gathering of materials which can normally only be bought from NPC’s.
• Military Harbor: Specializes in the research of new ships, new ship features, canons and ammunition.

After last years add-on “Storm Island” was released which raised the maximum level, added new special skills, dungeons, player-ships, items and quests, BBO players will get even more content, with which they can shape the gaming world and improve the overall gaming experience in any way they would like. Besides advantages previously mentioned, the colony add-on will strengthen the guild coherence, because guilds will for the first time be able to construct and administer their own zones. Therefore, these new features will improve their game experience with benefits such as improved attack power or faster ships.
