Craft of Gods
Slavic-mythology based MMORPG adds new features to retail boxed version, out mid-November.
Haarlem, The Netherlands – 8 October 2010 – ‘Craft of Gods’ is the Slavic-mythology based 3D fantasy MMORPG to be released mid-November by Iceberg Interactive in Scandinavia and Benelux. After the recent announcement concerning the opening of a ‘Free to Play’ server, the game’s Italian massive multiplayer online games (MMOG) developer and publisher Kalicanthus Entertainment announces today the launch of an update introducing more exciting new features, which will also be available for players who buy the retail box.
The update introduces new content for both the ‘P2P’ (Pay to Play) and the ‘F2P’ (Free to Play) servers of the game. It will not only include bug fixes, but it will also introduce new items, mobs and quests (including a Social Quest that will give out Kuns (virtual currency) for every friend invited), but it will also introduce many new features, as well as a new AI for many mobs, that will now make use of powerful spells and buffs.
About the update
One of the exciting features to be introduced is the Cave of Tallion, a huge dungeon divided in three areas with 2 entrances: one for Light players and one for Dark players. The first area is open to everyone and features four bosses and various quests for both factions. The second and third areas however are closed by a gate; completing particular quests will grant players access to these areas with increasingly higher level mobs and bosses. The third area is the dwelling of the strongest boss of the game, ‘The Creature’.
The patch will also introduce three new battlegrounds, each one open to players of a certain level range. Players can register to enter the areas by talking to an NPC that will be located in every town; the battles last 30 minutes and will start when at least 2 players per faction are registered. The faction with the highest number of kills will come out as the winner.
Last but not least, four types of events will be introduced: mob, drop, quest, and double experience events. Each event will be announced with a server message. Mobs event will see a special mob with special drops appearing in some maps for a limited period of time. With regards to quest events, a particular NPC (non-playable-character) located in the towns during an event will give out quests that will have to be completed during that same event. Drop events will feature mobs dropping special items needed for particular quests that will only be dropped during the event. Finally, double experience events will provide double experience from all the mobs for as long as the event lasts.
More information about the update will be published on the official website www.craftofgods.eu.
