Ashes of Creation is one of the most anticipated MMOs now and the game reached $512,709 on Kickstarter in 5 hours, and got funded ($750,000) in less than 12 hours explained everything. Now as of this post is published, over $785,000 has been raised and there are 31 days left.



Now stretch goals have been added. At $1 million there will be parlor games feature that allows players to play tarvern games like... Gwent? Naval content and ocean exploration will be developed if the developer raises $1.5 million.

Ashes of Creation is trying to revive the declining MMORPG genre and it's described as the rebirth of the MMORPG by the developer. The game is pillared by a core system called Nodes. As players adventure and complete their day-to-day goals, their experience is being captured by a Node through its Zone of Influence. As players level up, so do these Nodes. With enough experience a Node might become a village, a city, or with enough effort even a metropolis. As these population centers open up, players can establish citizenship through in-Node housing, instanced housing, or our Freehold system.

Netmarble CEO Kwon Young-sik told in a press conference that Lineage 2: Revolution will be released in Japan in the third quarter and in China in Q4. "We are preparing to release the localized version of the game in the two countries. We want to be firmly positioned as a global major game developer in various genres," Kwon said.

Meanwhile, the Korean version received a large update which introduces new siege contents into the world of Aden. You can watch the new cinematic trailer below.

Ashes of Creation Blows Past $1 Million; New Backer Rewards

Last night, Ashes of Creation, upcoming sandbox MMO by Intrepid Studios, did something I would not have believed possible until it happened. They blew through $1 million pledged in their kickstarter campaign, and it does not seem as though they will be stopping any time soon. This means the first stretch goal was reached within 36 hours of the campaign start, and players will have tavern games they can play with each other. Dicing? Cards? Who knows - but it will certainly make taverns much more interesting, and I'm certain the roleplayers will be happy!

 In response, the team posted their first backer reward - when they hit 6,500 backers, everyone who backed them regardless of backer level, will receive a pet kitten or puppy. So cute! I shall hope for a Siamese skin. As I am still watching the numbers tick upwards, I feel certain they will reach that 6,500 milestone.

They have already posted concept art for their backer mounts, which will be unique to kickstarter - if you like them, better back now because they will be gone forever once the campaign closes! Each mount will have special animations and particle effects, one of them will even display the goods that have been packed into its saddlebag.

The Runic Steed is available at the $50 tier. It has glowing runes across its body, and particle effects on its mane and tail:

The Obsidian Stallion is available at the $100 tier. It is also covered in runes, and has particle effects on its hooves when it runs:

The Spectral Mare is available at $150. It is transparent and emits ghostly mist particles:

The Moonstrider Mule, available at $250, has a slower movement speed, but it will be able to hold transport packs for players who participate in the caravan system:

And the legendary $500 Dawnbreaker, which can glide and change colors based on player's mood:
The next stretch goal comes in at $1.25 million, and will consist of enhanced group functionality, enhanced group mounts, and legendary creatures. I wonder how far this kickstarter will go?

Here's a WoW Inspired VR Game Involves Actual Body Movements in Combat

The Age of Heroes is a VR action MMO powered by Unreal Engine 3 and it's currently being developed by Omnigames. The developer is made up of a group of hardcore World of Warcraft players who want to remake WoW's group and dungeon experience in VR — just take a look at the image below and it's a dungeon inspired by the classic Scarlet Monastery dungeon in WoW. 





Combat is the part the game is sold for. Most actions requires actual body movements, and you need to actually draw and release a bow to shoot an arrow, or move your body to left/right to actually dodge an incoming fireball in the game. You can team up with up to 5 players to fight dungeon monsters with spells. Currently the game has 4 playable classes: Mage, Warlock, Archer and Preist. There's no melee class at the moment and that means the combat is like shooter game, and you are going to cast spells or shoot arrows to the mobs. 

The game is scheduled to release for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PSVR. You can watch below another gameplay trailer or visit the Steam greenlight page to learn more.

Lineage 2: Revolution Will Launch Globally in June 2017

A few days ago Lineage 2: RevolutionEnglish pre-registration page was live for a short period of time and then taken down. Fortunately we don't have to wait too long and the global official website has gone live, along with the release time: June 2017. You can pre-register for the Android version here for the chance to receive in-game rewards.
 

Backstory

The demise of the Elmoreden Empire ushered in an age of darkness. The different territories each declared their independence from the Empire, leading to bloody skirmishes in the conquest to claim sovereignty over the lands.

Of these, one struck fear in the hearts of all. They were the powerful Dark Society, led by Beleth, the user of black magic. The Dark Society believed that true authority stemmed from the terror that power instills in the weaker, and they began to conspire in secret to bring chaos to the world.

They were the ones who convinced the proud Emperor Baium of Elmoreden to build his Tower of Insolence. Before malice and dark energy could permeate the land, Hardin, a powerful sorcerer second only to Beleth, stood in the way of the Dark Society.

Hardin had been keeping an eye on the Dark Society’s activities, and he was able to successfully stop their plan from coming into fruition. Over time, however, his efforts alone were inadequate to staving off the Dark Society’s advances, and he decided to gather allies who could help him.

Thus the Silverlight Mercenaries were born. A new chapter in history begins when the main character joins the Silverlight Mercenaries by chance.
