The TLBB Winter Legends Come Alive!!

 

The TLBB Winter Legends Come Alive!!
Ti?n Lòng B? Bù (better known in the Western community as MMO TLBB Europe, or internationally as Dragon Oath) derives its name from the widely recognised Chinese novel, of the same title, by Jin Yong – one of China’s most successful writers, author of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. So successful, the eggheads over at ChangYou (EU) couldn’t resist but turn this epic adventure into what is now one of the Far East’s most successful role-playing games ever released.

TLBB Europe

TLBB Europe (the worldwide title is Dragon Oath) is a Chinese martial arts MMORPG adapted from the popular Chinese novel Tian Long Ba Bu which was written by famous martial arts Wuxia writer Jin Yong. Developed by Sohu-ChangYou, TLBB attracts such a vast amount of players that it is currently ranked 3rd in the Chinese MMORPG market.
The scenario has been developed around the lives of ancient Chinese heroes such as Xiao Feng, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu. It gradually uncovers passion and grudge among nine classes. With the core concept of Buddhist errantry in the original work, TLBB offers a virtual world filled with good and evil, love and hatred.
The Nine classes contribute to the making of a rich story set in a traditional ancient environment. Royalty, Lotus Order, Beggars Alliance, Pyromancer, Shaolin, Assassin, Taoist, Minstrel, and Voodoo all have their own advantages and play different roles in the TLBB world. Nonetheless, each class has a connection to the spirit of ancient martial arts.

Major Update “Dawn of Retribution” to Dungeon Fighter Online

 

Major Update “Dawn of Retribution” to Dungeon Fighter Online
Dungeon Fighter Online offers up big changes—that promise even bigger victories for all our Dungeon Fighters—with its Dawn of Retribution update, which launched today.
This new update to the game’s open beta features three major game play changes, as well as Christmas events to celebrate the holiday season.
 
Changes in the Update
Players may now enjoy faster leveling, easier dungeons and an improved, revamped tutorial as part of this update. A newly implemented experience curve allows players to make more rapid progress through the game, opening up more quests, more dungeons and more skills even sooner than before. The difficulty level has been brought down for some of the creatures in the lower leveled dungeons so as to aid beginning Dungeon Fighters. An added benefit to players just starting out in the Land of Arad are enhanced lessons from Seria and Linus, two important NPCs (non-playing characters) who all Dungeon Fighters meet at the beginning of their adventures in the game.

Seasonal Treats
On top of these improvements, players can take part in the holiday spirit with the Holly Jolly DFO Christmas Celebration. From Dec. 16 to January 5, players will be singing, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.” Every day for one randomly selected hour, a nice, crisp layer of soft powder will fall on the land. When it does, players will receive a 20 percent EXP bonus when clearing dungeons. Seria has decorated her sanctuary for Christmas, spreading holiday cheer to the dungeon fighters that visit her. 
 
After visiting Seria, players venture into the dungeons hunting for the Christmas goblins who robbed the respected citizens of Arad of their Christmas knickknacks. One particular goblin, Snowblin, also drops the special Snowball item. This throwing item delivers water damage and could freeze an opponent…or fellow partymates, if it isn’t used with precision.

BERKANIX

BERKANIX is the next MMORPG developed by SONOV, creators of Shaiya Online. The events of BERKANIX takes place in the future, where mankind has to find a new planet in order to survive. They chance upon a planet in the far reaches of the galaxy, where the environment allowed humans to live. However, the planet’s native inhabitants aren’t that pleased about the sudden arrival of the unwelcome guests. Armed with high tech weapons and armors, the humans will do whatever it takes to start life anew on the planet, without the inhabitants’ disturbance. Hence, the war started.
 
Why is it hot:
The sci-fi settings should be the main selling point of the game. There aren’t many MMORPGs using this theme, let alone making it successful. The game reminds me of Starship Troopers, and its a real draw for me. Jet packs, oversized alien mobs, cool weapons and armors, PvP and flashy skills, What’s there not to like, and hype ? Not to forget the game is developed using Unreal Engine 3, the graphics is looking like a winner already. Like TERA, I suspect the game is being pushed for world domination, or rather a near simultaneous release for both English and Korean versions. Why else bother to spend more time and resources on creating an English website when the Korean version ain’t even done ? Let’s just hope the game is Free to Play.
 
Game features:
– Developed using Unreal Engine 3 for the high quality graphics.
– All equipments in the game will not be restricted by class or level.
– Players will be able to enjoy aerial combat with both melee and range classes using the jet pack.
Weapons will be automatically switched between melee and ranged according to the mob’s distance

Berkanix Official Trailer

Berkanix is a sci-fi game that looks like it comes from the future, the graphics are just that stunning. People are geared out with heavy armor suits or transformer suits, with a visual quality that looks like game artwork. They group up together against the wild beasts of the future, like never seen before!
