NHN USAÂ’S GUNZ BRINGS THE THUNDER WITH ONLINE GAMEÂ’S TOUGHEST QUEST EVER

Upgraded Version of ijji.com’s Popular Multi-Player Third-Person Shooting Online Game Challenges Players with Six New Unique Quest Modes



IRVINE, Calif. – Sept. 8, 2008 – Gunners, strap on the hurt and prepare to bring the bad news! NHN USA, a leading free-to-play online interactive entertainment publisher, has introduced the toughest Quest ever to the hugely popular, massively multi-player online third-person shooting game (MMOTPS) GunZ.


“GunZ’ newcomers and loyal players alike will be thrilled with this new massive Quest update,” said Whon Namkoong, CEO, NHN USA. “The upgraded version of the adrenaline heavy online game is extremely challenging and very fun to play. The development team really outdid themselves and we can’t wait to hear the feedback as players immerse themselves in the non-stop, visceral action in GunZ.”



The new GunZ Quest, titled Palmpow Quest, features three unique and challenging bosses, as well as rare items that drop in each of the new six Quest modes.



The Quest modes are:


  • Palmpow Commander Quest: This is the first stage of the Palmpow Quest. Palmpows are God Grade monsters in the game. They’re very difficult to defeat due to their magic attacks. There is a boss at the final round and the map layout is Mansion

  • Palmpow Quest: As the second stage, this is more difficult then Palpow Commander. There is a boss at the final round and the map layout is prison

  • Cursed Palpow Quest: This is the third and final state of the Palmpow Quest. It features the most powerful boss and the map layout is dungeon

  • Fake Goblin King Quest: This is intended for lower levels, making it the easiest.

  • Thunder Goblin King Quest: Intended for high levels, it’s much harder then the current Goblin King. The new boss is also surrounded by large goblins

  • Dwarf Goblin King Quest: The boss in this upper level-focused mode is accompanied by several giant goblins





Available at the popular online games portal ijji.com, GunZ is a MMOTPS set in a world where fantasy and magic meet the industrial revolution. Treasure seekers, bounty hunters and rogue explores use stealth, magic and cunning as they face notorious outlaws and bounty hunters in non-stop adventures across the Empire and the Republic. Featuring a wide range of game modes – from intense Deathmatch, Berserker Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Assassination, Duel mode and story-heavy quests and missions, GunZ provides players with non-stop action in a community-centric environment full of deep character customization and progression.

Ryzom is announcing a new website for its Free Software NeL 3D MMORPG engine….

We are very glad to announce that we have now opened a new website for NeL, our core 3D MMORPG engine technology.



We know that many of our players are developers or otherwise interested in opensource affairs, and this news will be especially interesting for them. If you’re not interested in such things then don’t worry if you don’t understand some of the things you read in this post as it is for developers and they are used to this.
To summarize, NeL is a C++ programming framework at the very foundation of Ryzom; NeL contains the 3D Engine, the Networking Engine, the Sound Engine, and much more that is at heart of our MMORPG Ryzom. NeL is multi-platform and works on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
NeL is under the GNU GPL, because we strongly believe in the “Free Software” philosophy which governs this License. In a few words, this basically means that everyone in the world can access NeL’s source code, modify it, create new things based on it and release it freely.
We are the first and only commercial MMORPG to provide the source code of the core foundation of its game and we are very proud of that.
We intend to support all of the new NeL community by giving it as much time as we can alongside our game, Ryzom, in order to create a strong community of developers. As the first step in this direction, our whole new website dedicated to NeL: http://dev.ryzom.com contains everything that’s needed for new developers; a forum, a wiki, an issue tracker, a doxygen, a repository browser, and a lot more besides.
If you are a developer and have any interest in NeL in general or in our 3D MMORPG engine specifically, please feel free to join our community. Your second stop after this new website should be the IRC channel; you can find it at #nel on irc.freenode.net where you will be able to express yourself.
