]]> 06 Feb 2007 02:44:47 Fractured Universe Ages ago, the universes were all connected through fantastic portals created, some say, by the gods themselves. These portals were used by royalty, travelers, merchants, peasants... anyone that had need to travel from one world to another could use them.

Whomever, whatever, however they were created was lost through the ages. Everyone believed that since the portals had existed since the beginning of time then they would last until the end of time. But then things changed.

Nobody knows exactly what happened. The disappearance of the portals are as much a mystery as their origins. The portals didn't all disappear at once. No, as my great-great grandfather tells it, it took about a year until the last known portal from this world to another was gone. The year was called the Year of Chaos.

Today, everything changed...

]]> 01 Feb 2007 02:10:33 ZerA ZerA is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game from Korea being developed by Nexon. Currently the game's Korean Beta has ended but a Japanese Beta has surfaced. Player enage in your normal MMO quest/grind tactics to level up but with a twist. ZerA features a type of interesting attack system. You can situate your character to hit more than one target at a time, which, in this game is very beneficial.

The Experience in ZerA is gained per hit, and with that comes some great benefits. You can some what see the advange to this say if you saw a large group of monsters and you used an Area of Effect(AOE) spell.

The game also features a similar PvP system to games like Lineage 2 and Eudemons where you can openly attack someone in the field, but with a penalty for killing them. The game has an amazing skill system that is quite unique. The skills are dropped, similar to items.

The skill system is beyond impressive. There is this circular patter, which I believe is called an Ego Panel. You open this panel up and it has various intersectiong and bonuses on those intersections. What it is, is a skill combo system. Using skills in the order you designed on this Ego Panel you can gain bonuses to your skills damage, knockdown time, what have you. Quite possibly the best skills system I ahve Ever seen. There is a limited number of skill slots in these Ego Panels, but rest assured you don't need every skill in the game!

]]> 06 Feb 2007 12:56:49 Illutia The Beginning




Thousands of years ago a species that would later call
themselves "Lutians" rose from the center point of Yue,
known as "Vita Genero." These strange creatues had an ability
forsaken to all other creatures; conscious thought. The Lutians
view the Yue as a source of power and use it for many purposes
including magic.

Many Lutians believe that they were chosen by the Yue,
others believe that they, like other living things were the
result of random creations by it . This led to many
wars and still divides many lutians today.

Over the last hundred years some very strange things
have emerged very close to Vita Genero, where the first
Lutians emerged. These creatures came to be known as the
Nosaeron. They have caused many kingdoms to fall around vita genero,
and seem to have no purpose other than to destroy all life.

Now two kingdoms, Patrian and Ipcus, are fighting over the
nature of these creatures, The king of Patrian believes that
these creatures have somehow disrupted the Yue to use their power
to rule the world, and the king of Ipcus believes that the Nosaerons were
created by the Yue to get rid of the Lutians. The one and only thing the
two kings can agree on is that they must find the true nature of these creatures
and stop them at all costs.Both kings have ordered a call to arms of all their citizens
to discover the true nature of the Nosaerons, and seal them away forever.



General Notes

Illutia is a 2d anime mmorpg began under the original name
"Aspereta" In April of 2003. It was released mostly just as a test
run to see if there was still a market for 2d mmorpgs. Aspereta
became more popular than the small team ever imagined with over
50,000 accounts in less than a year. This encouraged Crazed Monkeys
to push hard to meet the expectations of their fans.

Now as of June 2005 Illutia (formerly Aspereta) is finally ready for
beta. We hope you enjoy this new version of the game as it is capable
of much more than we could have dreamed of for Aspereta.





About the Developers

We're a group of hardworking gamers, programmers, musicians,
artists, and volunteers who are still in love with 2d games and
refuse to let them die out! We are also huge fans of the anime
genre! We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!

for help. What secrets lay encased in these ruins? Can the
world survive the truth of the Nosaerons?

Only one thing is for certain in these troubled times:

This world needs heroes, this world needs YOU.

]]> 09 Feb 2007 10:54:31 Darkfall Online Darkfall is a fantasy online world in development at Aventurine, a Greek-based company that absorbed the originator of the project, a Norwegian team called Razorwax, and has advanced it to the stage where preparations are currently being made to begin beta. Set in a world known as Agon, it features six playable races. Humans, Dwarves and the elven Mirdain maintain generally friendly terms among themselves, while Orks and the wolf-like Mahirim, although not quite so amicable, usually aren't hostile to each other. The same cannot be said of the Alfar, pale outcasts who openly loathe all but their own kind.


The character development system is intended to allow for a high degree of customization, offering a vast array of skills and spells. The objective, an appealing one to many observers, is to make it possible for players to follow virtually any type of career path they might want, becoming a de facto explorer, hunter, mercenary, smith, magician, fisherman or almost anything else by making the appropriate choices, with optional prestige classes such as Paladin, Assassin, Gladiator, Enchanter also available. All will adventure in an environment that differs from most others in its clearly stated emphasis on player vs. player combat.

Before I go on any further you should know I am aware this project is likely to be halted by Bandai or CC Corp due to the fact I am copying their theme. I do this because they are clearly not going to make this kind of game, so when they stop me, I will hand them the rights, and they can finish it off and sell it.

Back into the game...
Once you register an account, you can pick from 6 classes:

Twin Blade(two swords) - Medium
Blade Master (Longswords) - Medium
Heavy Blade(2h swords) - Heavy

Upon picking a class, you may now customize your natural appearance (hair style, eye color, ect.)

Then your character is ready to play, you are given a set of starter items, (based on your class) and you are off.

]]> 24 May 2007 03:55:41 SocioTown SocioTown is a 100% web-based 3D MMO. It'll be playable in your browser with no downloadable client required. It utilizes Adobe's Shockwave Player, which most browsers already have installed.

When asked, what does the game closely resemble (because we all need comparisons, right?), I usually say it's an MMO Social Game with a bit of a mix of Nintendo's Animal Crossing and The Sims.

Every building you see in the above screen shots will be inhabited by players and you'll be able to do a variety of activities around town. We're implementing a very intuitive social system that hasn't been done before to our knowledge. I'm personally very excited about this game so far and I can't wait for players to get their hands on it.

Even so - Armada Online's alpha game is incredible and complex. There will be plenty for any new player to learn and enjoy and new content is being added continuously. Because it is in alpha status, be patient with any glitches and actively report them and your feedback to the official Armada Online forums to help improve the game for all. That's what open Alpha tests are for.
