WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the PvP-focused MMORPG Archlord 2 just released its latest content update.

Increasing the maximum level to 60, the latest content update introduces “Stardust Land”, an open PvP area, “Wraith Valley”, a new instance to explore, 240 new quests to accomplish, as well as plenty of new equipment – including some legendary quality items.

Following the events that unfolded over the course of the last major update in the “Land of Corruption” and “Sunny Garden”, players will discover that the great evil that plagued these lands has not yet been vanquished. With the help of a mysterious sect called the “Nightfall Emissary” the Dark Priest Galia fled from the heroes of the Azuni and Crunn, setting his sights on a new territory: Stardust Land. Now corrupted by the Dark Priest, players must liberate this area from the ancient evil summoned by the Nightfall Emissary and venture into the “Wraith Valley” dungeon to confront one of Galia’s most powerful henchmen: Death Master Kwatrika. Eliminating this boss won’t be an easy task for any adventurer, but the rewards are appropriate for the challenge: a new tier of equipment!

Although they share a common enemy, Azuni and Crunn should watch their back while eliminating the Nightfall Emissary, as Stardust Land is an open PvP area. Veterans looking for new thrills can also test their mettle against the new World Raid Bosses for their precious loot, new legendary weapons and exclusive legendary accessory sets.

Along with these new features, the update introduces many bug fixes for the game.

To celebrate the new content update with a bang, a login event is taking place and offers players the chance to win an exclusive Euty mount.

New players can also take advantage of some special support items, specifically designed to help them catch up and grow their characters. Time-limited versions of these items will be available for free in the in-game shop.

Independent game developer, ArtCraft Entertainment, Inc. today announced that the highly anticipated massively multiplayer online game, Crowfall™, has amassed more than two million dollars crowdfunding, following on the success of their Kickstarter campaign earlier this year.

Equally impressive, the campaign continues to pull in a record dollars-per-backer amount, amassing this sum from more than 19,000 individuals. The company’s founders, J. Todd Coleman (creative director, Shadowbane, Wizard101, Pirate101) and Gordon Walton (executive producer, Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Star Wars: The Old Republic) attribute this to Crowfall’s unique vision—a blend between a large-scale feudal strategy game and a traditional MMO.

“We weren’t sure what would happen post-Kickstarter. We knew that we would offer pledge bundles on our website, but would they get any traction?” mused Coleman, who also serves as Crowfall’s creative director. “Obviously we hoped so, since the additional funding will only serve to make the game that much better, but would it grow or flatline? We had no idea what to expect.”

“The answer is: our momentum is growing,” added Executive Producer Gordon Walton. “In terms of overall pledges, total number of backers, and web traffic; every week is bigger than the previous.”

A new type of online experience, Crowfall is a “Massively Multiplayer Online Throne War Simulator.” Players take the role of kings, queens, mercenaries and assassins in a simulation of a feudal world.

Crowfall offers three core areas of conflict: military strength (building castles and conquering territory), political power (forging alliances and attracting a hierarchy of vassals) and economic might (crafting goods and building a merchant empire). Surpassing the $2 million threshold also unlocked the latest in a series of stretch goals: the Shadow, an additional campaign ruleset that offers a new range of guild-focused PvP (Player-versus-Player) mechanics.
