Aurora Blade: Express System

The first and only Express Company has already been created in Aurora Blade – players can find the company in the Daks of cities and towns. It has been very popular with many players because of its perfect service and, today, the Aurora Blade team from IGG is giving a brief introduction to the Express system for all players.

Except for bound equipment, players can mail items, equipment, food and others to their friends via the Express Company. The Express Company service in Aurora Blade covers 34 in-game maps and areas. No matter where you are, you can receive a letter from the company and then you can claim your package from any nearby Daks.

It’s really convenient to mail items in Aurora Blade. You just need to talk to the appointed NPC and choose “Send a package”. Then fill out the package list including the consignee, the content, items and money you would like to mail. No matter what you would like to mail, it only costs you 10 Copper Coins. After finishing the package list, press “OK” to send the letter. After 10 minutes, your friends can pick-up the package.

Aurora Blade is the first browser-based 2D RPG brought to you by IGG and distinguishes itself as a simple yet exciting game with immersive storylines for players of all ages and skill levels.

Tales of Pirates: The Magical Lone Tower

It is said in Tales of Pirate that the Magical Lone Tower symbolizes true love and the accompanying loneliness that separation from it, or not having it at all, brings. Whether you have found your true lover or are still alone, you can find the love code after visiting the magical tower, but it’s not easy to get close. It is guarded by various monsters. Now we are going to share the Lone Tower X file with all players.

The Lone Tower has a total of 6 floors. Each floor has different BOSSes. Players can access the Lone Tower by getting a Lone Tower Pass, available in the Item Mall now, or directly buying the Pass to the specified floor of the Lone Tower in game. Players can also run there themselves using Auto-trace. Players who want to challenge the Lone Tower should note before entering, that the critters inside are all senior rank BOSSes. The 1st floor BOSS is a powerful Level 69, and their levels gradually increase from the 2nd floor to the 6th floor. This place is recommended for players Level 70+ to challenge, and they’d better go in groups.

If you ever explore the depths of the Lone Tower, you may have seen the following BOSSes: the Mad Tribal Witchdoctor, the Frenzied Lizardman and the Feral White Bobcat. They all contain rich treasures. Want to obtain this treasure? Well, watch yourself, because they are not easy to fight with. Defeat them and obtain drops including the Bloodied Carcass , the Bloodied Bow , the Essence Dagger , the Arcane Lobster Muffs and the Big Health potion.

Players, if you want to test your limits, come to challenge the magical Lone Tower in Tales of Pirates! Remember to bring your friends to watch your back!

PS3 caused man to be arrested

Gamezine.co.uk is reporting the following news:

Gun shots heard from a Copenhagen residence result in scared neighbours calling the police.

And they took no chances, arriving at the premises with full support, which consisted of several vans packed with armed policemen.

However, it turns out that the shots came from a FPS video game being played on a PlayStation 3 set up with HDTV and full 5.1 surround sound.

The two players, both aged 21, were unaware that they’d caused alarm, taken by surprise when they were rushed out of the apartment with their hands behind their backs.

Police were especially suspicious when they arrived on the scene, as residents usally lean out of their windows to check out the commotion when police arrise: the two men did not.

After a full search of the apartment and the two men had explained themselves they were allowed to return to their apartment.

It appears that the Copenhagen police are used to being called out for gunshots that often turn out to be false. Usually, however, they are fireworks and not video games.

“[We] do not neglect reports of shots when we’re rung and tonight’s action illustrates that quite well,” said a smiling John Hasen, head of the Copenhagen police.

AdventureQuest Worlds: over 11.000 gamers attend online wedding!

Artix Entertainment’s MMORPG AdventureQuest Worlds was the setting for the December 29th wedding of longtime Artix gamers Bello and Merca which was broadcast live starting on http://www.aqworlds.com with over 11,000 gamers in attendance.
The bride, who is a retailer, and the groom, who is a pre-school teacher, have been avid Artix gamers for three years. They live in southwestern Missouri and decided to share their union with fellow gamers worldwide.

“We thought this was a unique opportunity to do something memorable,” said Bello. “We decided to go with AdventureQuest Worlds because we’ve been playing Artix games for years now and almost feel like we’ve been a part of Artix Entertainment’s maturation as a gaming company.”

The wedding was held in a private room while the 11,000 players joined clones of that room which featured avatars of the wedding party and was updated in real time. This allowed all players to share in the same experience. The ceremony itself was tongue and cheek and was inevitably raided by Troll Wedding Crashers which camped out on the dance floor of the reception area.

Wedding items were released including the Rose Thorn Blade, Wedding Cake Pet (a piece to go), Wedding Candle, The Eternal Flame and the Bouquet.

AdventureQuest Worlds, which launched in mid-October, has captured the interest of 2.3 million players so far, and they are opening their free accounts at the rate of 250,000 per week.
