RuneScape Merchandise Store goes Cash Free by Accepting Bonds news header

Jagex Games Studio – creators and custodians of the fantasy MMORPG, RuneScape – has announced that players no longer need to use real-world currency to purchase items from the official RuneScape store. In addition to such traditional methods, cash-conscious players can now use RuneScape Bonds to acquire a range of t-shirts that pay homage to the game. Further items, including god-symbol emblazoned caps, hoodies and more will be rolled out in phases.

 

Bonds are accrued either by purchasing them directly from Jagex or through bartering with other players. They have proved to be exceptionally popular with the game’s massive player-base since they launched in 2013, with more than 350,000 RuneScape Bonds transacted every month.

 

In addition to merchandise, Bonds can be traded in for RuneScape membership or used as a donation to partner charities such as WWF and Oxfam. Players can even use their Bonds to purchase their entry to the annual RuneFest fan festival on Saturday 3rd October at Tobacco Dock in London. Approximately 50 percent of attendees this year have used Bonds to buy their ticket for the event, compared with 40 percent in 2014. Additionally, many players attending have paid for their accommodation in the city – and even their flights – using only Bonds.

In today’s “State of the Crusade,” Eternal Crusade‘s Senior Producer, Nathan Richardsson, announced that the game will be heading into closed alpha testing on Monday, September 14.

On that day, any founders with Captain’s packs or higher and were first to buy will be granted access to the Closed Alpha in small batches, with a goal of having all of those founders in game by October. Founders who aren’t part of this group can still upgrade to a Captain’s+ pack before the Sergeants’ wave to gain closed alpha access with the rest of them.

The letter also notes that currently testing is focused on the shooter experience of the game, and will not yet feature many of the MMO features (which will be added later in testing). For full information on the upcoming test, read the blog post.

Conquer Online 3.0 Kingdom War Update Bringing New Features

Conquer Online 3.0 Kingdom War Update Bringing New Features news header

In mid-October, Conquer Online will witness the updates of the first wave of 3.0 features. The new expansion will bring several new concepts that are sure to raise eyebrows in the F2P world. Emperor and courtiers, imperial harem, Official System, the War Chariot and Tempest Wings, all these features and more come together in the long-waited Kingdom War. The Kingdom War is a global PVP event where heroes fight to become controllers of Guilds, Unions, Kingdoms and the whole CO world. Let’s learn more about the brand new features in CO 3.0 Kingdom War. Last week CO 3.0 Kingdom War merged with the Chinese version of Conquer. Heroes found it was a great stage to display their own battle power and fighting skills.

What’s a Kingdom?

The greatest union on one server will obtain the power to become the monarch of the server after the Kingdom War and the server will become an independent kingdom, and the leader of the union will be the Emperor. A Kingdom inherits all the features of a union and gains even more powerful features. A unique Kingdom exists on each server. The composition of a standing Kingdom should be: an Emperor, two prime ministers and marshals, four generals, ten imperial harems and twenty imperial guards and also includes other unions, guilds and individuals who swear allegiance to the Kingdom.

The powerful Features

An Emperor is the sovereign ruler of a Kingdom, and holds absolute power over all. The Emperor has the power to nominate and appoint important officials, imperial guards and imperial harems. Besides issuing leader tokens, the Emperor also has the right to issue the Stipend Token and Shift Token. The partial exercise of power by important officials, provides assistance to the Emperor. Important officials, imperial guards and imperial harems can draw daily benefits and welfare. Apart from these, the Emperor of each Kingdom can wage war against other Kingdoms so as to gain their resources, kill their generals, and even to seize their thrones to become the “king of kings”.

Tempest Wings

The last talisman in the world of Conquer Online, Tempest Wings! The sparkles were dazzling when heroes wore this glorious item. Besides a resplendent and magnificent look, the talisman lifts heroes’ attributes. Players can get Tempest Wings from finishing a specified quest. An Emperor’s Tempest Wings differ from those of lower ranking players.

“Kingdom War shows the darker side of the world of Conquer” said one Chinese player who has experienced the Kingdom War in the Chinese version. “When you bring your weapons, courage and wits to enter the field, you truly feel that your kingdom needs you! All fighters are fighting for their kingdoms!”

The CO team is putting extra efforts on CO 3.0 the Kingdom War English version, aiming to offer English speaking players a better game experience. Wait and behold the battlefield!
