TERA: Fate of Arun – Skycastle Update Now Available

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 01:33 PM PST

TERA FateofArun Skycastle01

En Masse Entertainment, a player-driven publisher focused on delivering great games and exceptional service, today released a major update to its award-winning PC action MMO, TERA: Fate of Arun. Following the launch of the Fate of Arun expansion last December, this update provides players with a variety of new content including new 5-player dungeons, a 5v5 PvP arena, and guild activities and rewards. Since its launch, TERA has amassed over 17 million registered users around the world, built a strong community of fans, and continues to see praise from both players and media.
Today's update brings guild housing to TERA in the form of floating "Skycastles," customizable abodes hovering over two of the games major cities. Guilds compete for ownership of these prestigious symbols in the new "Crusade" system, which pits guilds against each other in leagues for both PvP and PvE content. The top 10 guilds in each league earn one of these impressive palaces for the duration of the next Crusade, which lasts four weeks.

"MMO's are about community and finding friends to play with, and with this update there's never been a better time to join or return to a guild, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones," said En Masse Entertainment Producer Patrick "Treeshark" Sun. "We can't wait to let our fans get their hands on Skycastles and watch them customize their own unique spaces within the world of TERA."

Players can also battle through new dungeons instances included in the update; Sky Cruiser Endeavor, where they take to the skies to recapture the Valkyon Federation's most advanced airship from enemies that have turned it against them, and an updated hard mode of the popular underwater dungeon, Bathysmal Rise. Additionally, players looking to test their mettle against each other can participate in the Champions' Skyring, an updated 5v5 arena that provides the ultimate test of PvP skill.

Crowfall: New RPG/Strategy MMO Hybrid Project On Kickstarter

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 01:32 PM PST

Graphic KickstarterProjectTile

Independent game developer, ArtCraft Entertainment, Inc. today launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund its highly-anticipated Massively Multiplayer Online game, Crowfall.  Described as a blend of a roleplaying game and a large-scale strategy game, Crowfall is the brainchild of two of the most experienced MMO developers in the world:  J. Todd Coleman (creative director, Shadowbane, Wizard101, Pirate101) and Gordon Walton (executive producer, Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Star Wars: The Old Republic).

"Crowdfunding has revolutionized the game market, allowing developers access to funds and customers," said ArtCraft co-founder and President Gordon Walton. "The traditional publishing model works for mass-market gaming, but fails to serve many of the more experienced and discriminating gamers.  Crowdfunding allows us to serve these customers directly with experiences crafted specifically for them, using their direct feedback and funding."

Crowfall is a designed to push the boundaries of online social dynamics. "In some ways, it sounds revolutionary – but our goal is to rediscover what we lost." explained J. Todd Coleman, co-founder and Creative Director.  "Politics, Trade, Empires, Alliances, Betrayal – the ability for players to have a real impact on the game world.  In the rush to make these games appeal to the mass market, we lost the elements that made them great."

Fans of the game can back the kickstarter campaign at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crowfall/crowfall-throne-war-pc-mmo .
