Tales of Pirates: Industrial Forging

The players from Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com) recently had some fun with an industrial experiment in game. In the last chapter we heard about Analyzing, today we will continue with a quick glance at another handicraft, Forging.

Many players have strong interests in forging because through forging they can create whatever gear they want or need themselves. There is no need for them to fight hard with BOSSes and hoping the gear drops are exactly what they want, they get it right the first time!

Necessities for Forging:

Fairy Analyzing Skills: Can be learned from the Lifeskill Book of Forging Pet Fairies.

Blueprint: The design drawing, of which the rank must be smaller or equal to the character’s forging skill level.

Tool: Anti Matter Crystal.

Forging Effect: When the forging begins, the dice will start to shake. Players will need to guess Big or Small. The guess will determine the outcome of the forging.

Analyzing Flow:

Find the Big Furnace at Thundoria Castle (759, 1474).

Click to open the Forging page, and then drag the necessary items, Blueprint, pet Fairy, raw materials and Anti Matter Crystal into their corresponding positions. Remember the Blueprint must be put into first slot!

Click Start, then the progress bar below will begin to move. Watch the dice on the right side, they will then start shaking. Players will need to guess Big or Small. Your guess will determine the outcome.

Voyage Century: Pet Basics

Today the folks at Voyage Century are going to talk to you about how to raise your pet.

There are always times in game that can be lonely. Solo quests, or perhaps you’re into a late night session and all your friends are asleep. Pets can help you alleviate this sense of loneliness. But do you really know how to take good care of your companions and how your pets can help you?

1?The quickest time spent raising a pet from level 1 to level 100 should be 43 days.

2?A pet’s health decreases by 1 every 15 minutes. A first aid kit from the Item Mall can restore 10 health, so for those 43 days of development, a pet will consume about 400 first aid kits.

3?A pet’s satiation drops by 1 every minute. Pet food can restore 1 satiation so for those 43 days of development, a pet will consume 60,600 pet foods.

4?A pet has 5 different basic attributes, HP, attack, defense, hit rate, and dodge. 1 level improvement will increase a pet’s Max HP by about 46, and increase the other 4 attributes from 0 to 4 respectively.

What can a high level pet do?

If players take their advanced pets into a fight with some tough monsters, the experience and loot will be much easier to obtain. Because the Exp from killing monsters all goes to you and your high level pets, your pet can help shield you from taking considerable damage. For instance, an advanced fox has a high dodge rate, so it can be used as an ideal tank when you fight against a Guardian Beast.

Never underestimate how much a high level pet can help. Take your time and invest in the future.

Red alert 3 is released! Are you excited about the invasions? In World of Kungfu, invasion system is also online now! Here are the details:

The Free-to-Play Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) from VestGame Entertainment is getting a major upgrade that includes new quests, skills, mounts, and several new systems that dramatically enhance gameplay.

[Shanghai, China, November 4^th, 2008] VestGame Entertainment has announced a major upgrade to World of Kung Fu, the popular 3D MMO set in ancient China. The latest upgrade will see the addition of several major new systems, as well as new quests for higher level players, new mounts, and skill enhancements for all weapon classes.

The most significant new system in this upgrade is the Invasion System. Players will now be able to battle foreign enemies in one of two new event based scenarios. The first involves an invasion by hostile forces from outside the Middle Kingdom, and the other involves country-to-country battles that take place within. Both scenarios allow players the chance to gain reputation and other benefits such as game gold and items from the item mall.

Another system making its debut is the Transform System. This allows players to collect “transform cards” which enable them to transform into marvelous creatures and exciting special characters, such as the Monkey King. Players who undergo transformation get special new attacks and abilities while in the transformed state.

New mounts available to players include the Zhu Que (Giant Phoenix) and the ferocious fire lion known as Nian. Additional quests have been developed for levels 40-80 to enhance the enjoyment of more experienced players. Also, the weapons skills of all weapon classes have been improved and balanced. Nunchakus have been added to provide players with a quick attribute bonus.

A great many other, less visible gameplay elements have been tweaked and enhanced such as the item drop rate for slain monsters and changes to the tutor/apprentice system. The impetus for these changes was, as always, the World of Kung Fu team’s desire to provide the best possible gameplay experience for the large and growing worldwide community of World of Kung Fu players.

World of Kung Fu is an MMORPG based in a 3D virtual world for the PC. Rooted in traditional Chinese culture, the game takes place in a mythical land founded on the ancient Kung Fu moral values of justice and heroism. For more information about the English version of World of Kung Fu including tutorials, forums, screenshots, videos, and downloads, please visit the official World of Kung Fu website at http://www.worldofkungfu.com.

Again! Pet! Pet system is always the most popular one. If you are a player of Zu Online, you must be interested in this as well. Zu Online currently passed a piece of news to us and you know what? You can cultivate a top pet now!

Pets’ popularity has reached an unprecedented extent in the role playing games released in 2008 by far. The pet system of Zu Online (http://zu.igg.com/) has annotated the essence of pets in MMORPGs by its creative features. There are three requirements to cultivate a Top Pet in Zu Online:

Pet Spells

Each pet spell is at rank 1 when it is learnt and can at most be upgraded to rank 9. Below are the details of the rank 9 pet spells.

1. Critical Strike: Increases the master’s Critical Strike chance. A Critical Strike deals 200% normal damage. At rank 9,it increases Critical Strike chance by 10%.

2. Garrote: Increases the master’s Garrote chance. A Garrote deals 150% normal damage. At rank 9,it increases Critical Strike chance by 10%.

3. Resistance: At rank 9, it increases the master’s chance to resist enemy’s attack by 20%.

4. Store Up: When it reaches rank 9, 33 slots of the pet’s backpack in total are activated by this spell.

5. Regeneration: At rank 9, it increases the master’s health restoration by 200%.

6. Rejuvenation: At rank 9, it increases the master’s mana restoration by 200%.

7. Resilience: At rank 9, it reflects 15% damage taken to the attacker.

8. Ride Speed: At rank 9, it increases the pet’s movement speed by 50%.

Awesome Initial Aptitudes

According to their initial Aptitudes, the pets in Zu Online are classified into primary pets?its Aptitudes are about 1500?, junior pets (about 2000)and senior pets (about 2500). (Primary pets can be gained from monsters and quests or purchased from a Pet Master. Junior pets and senior pets can only be purchased from a Pet Master now.) The Aptitudes of a pet determine the amount of stats increase to its master. In a word, the pet is better is if its Aptitudes are higher.

Savvy

Pet’s Savvy concerns how many spells the pet may learn. The pet whose Savvy is higher can learn more spells. A primary pet’s Savvy is 1 while junior or senior pet’s is 2. To raise a pet’s Savvy, it should be fed Savey Seeds. But pet’s Savvy can only reach 8 at most.

In overview, to be a super fighter, you cannot lack a top pet with the three requirements above.

Guys from Legend of Golden Plume delivered a piece of very interesting news, that is you can sit in the game and gain cash. Does this mean free lunch finally comes to the MMORPGs?

I am sure you are all very excited about the opening of the LGP Item Mall. All these nice dress, wings, gems, wedding packs, etc.  They are costing an arm and a leg!

What about the 3000 Gold that we have given out on August 20, 2008? Have you spent it all, and now you have no Gold left to buy any other items?

Not to worry. Here is a new way you can earn Gold in LGP Online. We will give you 2 Gold Points for every 2 continuous hours that you are in LGP Online.

The following are detailed rules:

1. Each time you log off, our system will compute how long you are online since the last time you log in. And you will earn 2 Gold Points for every 2 hours that you are continuously online.  Residuals will be rounded off, meaning if you are online for 3 hours and 59 minutes, you will still only earn only 2 Gold Points, and if you are continuously online for 4 hours and 1 minute, you will get 4 Gold Points.  You can take out these Gold Points at the Bullion Merchant in Plume city, when you accumulate at least 100 gold.

2. To prevent cheating, we will only allow 3 accounts per IP address to earn Gold in this method. EVeryday (calendar day based on PST), the first 3 accounts at each ip address will earn Gold, and the fourth account will not be able to earn anything.  So let’s do some math: if you have 3 accounts online all the time, you will earn 24 Gold per account per day, 720 Gold per account per month, and  2160 Gold for all 3 accounts in 1 month. This can buy you some nice things in game.  You can invite your friends or family members to be in LGP with you, and ask them to give you their gold hehe.

3. We are not responsible for any “unlucky events” that cause you not to receive the Gold: For example,  you got DCed due to some poor network connection at 1 hour 59 minutes, and did not get the Gold; Or we have to maintain the server that forces you to disconnect at 1 hour and 58 minutes.  This is a free benefit to make you happy, and  we do not wish to turn it into something that creates trouble, dispute or unhappiness.

4.  This is a promotional event and we may make adjustment or terminate this event any time.

5. You can also buy LGP Gold using real money in the future, but we do not intend to do this anytime soon.  You can also participate in some other events (such as write game reviews, etc) to earn Gold.

Hope everyone has fun with this system, and enjoy the shopping in LGP.

Sounds very interesting. The publisher wants more players spending their time in game so they came up with such an idea. This is definately new to the current MMORPG market. We think more and more companies will copy this method to increase their CCU.

We have just received a piece of news from outspark about their MMOCG game, Project Powder.

Outspark has released exciting new content for its competitive online snowboard racing game, Project Powder, featuring a brand new single player mode, a new race track, and other additions.

Project Powder players looking to improve their snowboarding skills without the embarrassment of defeat can now take to the slopes in a new single player practice mode. Learn all of the secret shortcuts in Race Mode and track down all of those hidden gold coins in Coin Mode to own your friends in your next match.

Boarders can also take on a challenging new course, a mirrored version of Smallpox Part 2, and can race without fear thanks to improvements to Project Powder’s X-Trap anticheat software.

Here are some screenshots of this MMOCG.
