Gamers may know Dragon's Call, which was welcome among large number of players. It is said that Dragon's Call II will emerge in response to their request.

Dragon's Call II is a western-styled side-scrolling turn-based MMORPG. Dragons Call II does not follow the conventional leveling system which only enables players to earn experience mainly by grinding. Instead, the game introduces a brand-new leveling system which will make it easier to level player controlled characters and certainly add much more fun to the process.
From some gamers, we know that they have been expecting a new Dragon's Call for long, especially those senior players. Besides, there is an excellent Volunteer Staff supporting the game and wait for the coming of Dragon's Call II.
Interested gamers can attend this Slogan Create Event in the forum. For more information you can visit the official website.

 

Keen Software House has announced that the game will officially support Oculus Rift–the new snappy VR headset that was announced via Kickstarter.



They said they are proud to be supporting the Oculus Rift Project! Their in-house VRAGE Engine which powers Miner Wars 2081 is already scheduled to implement TrackIR headtracking to better allow players to be immersed in the game. They're taking it a step further this time and are scheduling some modifications to our engine that will not only support the Oculus Rift but perhaps future VR equipment as well. The Oculus Rift looks perfect for our type of gameplay, and they feel Miner Wars 2081 is the perfect 6DoF game to test it on. Sure other engines allow the 6DoF (especially the ID engine that is heavily endorsing the Oculus Rift Project) but there are no other games that actually allow the 6DoF movement nativaly, giving them something special to work on!



With Head-Tracking and the addition of Stereo Displays compatibilty they expect players to be able to experience a richer Miner Wars 2081 immersion. They'll be polishing the cockpits in places they thought people would never look, and you may start using the side windows tactically in ways that they never initially intended! They feel this project is perfect for our type of game, and it will bring the six degrees of freedom feel that virtual reality units are traditionally attracted to! So they're stocking up on our whips, forcing our 3D artists to model things behind and under the 'viewport'.



Keeping those in mind who may not be able to get such special equipment for leasure, but may have a web-cam; they're also consdiering adding FreeTracking to our engine. FreeTracking will allow for many of those who want the immersive qualitys of headtracking or VR but aren't yet able to spend quite the money on the equipment. This may also allow ways for those who want to play with large stereo displays (like in movies) without having to require head-gear for the player. We want to open up new play possibilities for all their players, and allow for you to upgrade on their own schedule.



They're very excited about this project, and can't wait to recieve our Dev Kit. This might be a whole new step in gaming, and they are interested in seeing how this will change the arsenal of the common player. Will this push the release of the game back? they've decided that it would be best to add support for these immersive technolgies after the release of the game. They'll implement this technolgy as a free update to the game before we start working on other DLC as we fully complete our features. As a consequence however you might lucid dream it's already in the game...

GamesCampus today announces a temporary suspension of services for the PVP centric sci-fi MMORPG, RF Online as it moves to its new home at GamesCampus. A mix of fantasy with a healthy dose of science fiction, Rising Force Online launches players into a massive three-faction nonstop battle that equips them with everything from swords to nuclear weapons to bring the opposing factions to their knees! Players can sign up now for a GamesCampus account at rfonline.gamescampus.com, and starting August 31st players can transfer their accounts from the former host to the GamesCampus network.

"GamesCampus is committed to making a smooth, full transition for all interested players." said Hubert Yee, Head of Marketing at GamesCampus. "Whether players wish to retain their old accounts or start over, we've got plenty in store for the rest of 2012."

Starting August 31st, players can use RF Online: Rising Force Online - Fantasy Sci-fi 3D MMORPG - Main to move their characters from the old servers to their new home at GamesCampus, who will service RF Online moving forward for the North American and global audience. One week later, on September 6th, space enthusiasts can begin logging in to RF Online again at approximately 11:00am PST.



New to RF Online completely or just want to start over? Join us on the new server Excelsior! This new server will be available from September 6th to November 6th, and will not take transfers of veteran accounts. Instead, players new and old will have a chance to start from scratch and compete with and against similar level friends and foes. Eventually, Excelsior accounts will be merged into the central server to compete against the full pool of Rising Force players.

GamesCampus is also pleased to announce they will be launching Patch 1.5 during Q4 2012. This new update has never been seen on the English version of RF Online, and players will be delighted with the fresh content and myriad of exciting changes, which will be revealed in the coming weeks.

 

SAN FRANCISCO — August 30, 2012 — Organizers of the Game Developers Conference® Online (GDC Online) have revealed that Raph Koster, a key industry veteran behind the prodigious massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs) Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies, will be honored with the Online Game Legend Award at the third annual Game Developers Choice Online Awards.

If you can't wait for the next tier of Operations in Star Wars: The Old Republic, you'll be happy to know that the newest tier is being added in update 1.4. You may be slightly less happy to know that the new operation, Terror From Beyond, is not meant to be a cakewalk by any stretch of the imagination. A new developer diary explains the lore behind the operation and some of the threats that players will be facing on the swamp planet of Asation.



Asation is a swampy, wetland world that was terraformed by the Gree thousands of years ago in the Gree Enclave . It is not a Gree homeworld, but it does house some incredible technology assembled long ago by the Gree crafter caste. Key among this technology is the Hypergate, a massive device capable of transmitting matter from across the galaxy. The Dread Masters have sown chaos on Asation by activating the Hypergate letting through untold horrors and monstrosities. It's up to players to cut a path through these creatures, defeat the agents of the Dread Masters, and deactivate the Hypergate at any cost.



Terror from Beyond offers five new major boss encounters that will challenge even the most highly-coordinated groups of players. In keeping with previous Operations, Terror from Beyond includes one "puzzle" encounter that really steps outside of the bounds of what you normally see in a boss fight. To defeat this new enemy, players will need to work together to repair a massive, ancient Gree computer from within the machine itself. Unlike previous puzzle encounters where the solutions were relatively easy to figure out, this one has players leveraging their particular group composition to control a chaotic situation.

In addition to strange creatures and agents of the Dread Masters, players will encounter a familiar face on Asation. No spoilers, but here's a hint: he's not going to be very happy to see you.

As everyone knows, Conquer Online is a global game which has a large base of players from every corner of the world. On the way to conquering this world of heroes, you'll fight with or against many other players from different lands. Now, think about this… Wouldn't it be exciting if you could declare your nation and fight with your compatriots for the honor of where you come from?
With the coming update, this idea will become reality! Together with the fabled “One-Armed Bandits†from afar, these flag emblems will also arrive on Aug. 28th! With this brand new feature, you will be able to select your national flag from your status panel and find more friends from your homeland. Moreover, the TQ team will hold some events based on player locations in the future!

​

In addition, the method of joining and promoting your Sub-Class will also be improved in this update, which will be available from the Status panel.

Did any of you suggest anything during the early days,

that ended up in the game?

I was thinking about it recently and I few of the

things I suggested ended up in game. I don't think they

listened to me though, more like a happy coincidence,

but still it was nice that I basically got what I asked

for!

Here are things I suggested which I am now able to play

with!

1) While EQ2 was being made, I suggested on their forum

that they make names in the chat windows active, so

they can be clicked on like a hyperlink. That way, if

someone called Illikasngashanhlasha /auctions

something, you don't have to type in their name, you

can just click it or right click it. Not sure if this

ever ended up in EQ2, but it is in Vanguard and I love

it

2) When I got on the Vanguard forum, I made a

suggestion that I would like some special spells that

used special points separate from your mana. That way

you could save them for emergencies and if you were a

fast thinker, instead of doing your normal big heal or

group heal, you could use one of your special spells

and save the day. Same goes for nukes, if you are in a

tense situation and fighting several mobs, and one of

them aggroes the Cleric and is about to kill them, but

the mob is low on health, you could think fast and use

your special points to make a huge nuke and kill the

mob. The limited points would mean that you can't

overdo it though. Sadly my idea was shot down by the

other forumgoers at the time, because they said people

would save the points for raid encounters and just let

loose all their points in one go which would unbalance

everything. Fair point I guess, but what I suggested is

basically exactly what they did with half of the

classes in the game. The Phenomena points on the Druid

work exactly as I suggested! They took it a step

further by adding DoT's and stuff too and then the

ability to top up your points at higher level.

3) After learning that there would be no more EQ style

text interactions with quests (typing who is / what is

/ where is / etc), and instead it would all be clicked

on the interface, I suggested that you would still need

to do some things with text. My example (which sucked

in hindsight) was that there could be a trial for a

crime, and you have to learn who comitted the crime and

then at the final point, the judge asks who committed

the crime, and you have to "/say" the person's name. It

was a crappy suggestion because you could still just do

this by clicking on a list of names like you do with

everything else.... However they still added some text

interaction! When you go to Riftseekers Torrent, an NPC

wanders past and says a password. You have to then /say

this to get inside, and then you use it again to go

through portals later in the dungeon. They had probably

made this before I suggested, but still, it's nice that

I got what I asked for

4) The only other suggestion I can remember is this

one. I suggested that they have guilds or groups be

required to work together at some points. For example

there could be three big wizard towers like that huge

dungeon/tower in Velious in EQ. At the top of each

tower is a lever, and if the levers in all three towers

is pressed at the same time, it opens a portal to

special group or raid zone. So three strong groups or

three strong raid forces, would have to split up and

each take a tower. And then at the top, they would have

to communicate together and do a big 1..... 2......

3..... CLICK! and all click the lever within a few

seconds of each other.
