Clan Citadels arrive in RuneScape Posted: 26 Jul 2011 11:22 AM PDT RuneScape’s latest expansion, Clan Citadels, is live today, expanding on the clan feature in game. Clans with five or more members may purchase their own floating citadel, which come in four basic layouts and may be set with a day or night theme. These keeps can be customized with banners, flags, and seven levels of upgrades that include portals, dragon perches, and a party room. Clans can also build their own battlegrounds to challenge others with, including capture-the-flag and deathmatch style games, mazes, and more. RuneScape is published by Jagex, which also publishes War of Legends.

This expansion fills RuneScape's horizon with a multitude of floating castles, offering in-game clans a much-anticipated unique and fully customisable gameplay experience. Details of the expansion were first released earlier this month, resulting in a surge of players rushing to join the game and pledge their allegiance to one of the existing 200,000+ clans. From today, any clan with five or more RuneScape members will be able to take ownership of its own Citadel. Clan Citadels are set to break the mould for group gaming in MMOs by offering players unmatched customisation and freedom to create user-generated multiplayer content. Clans choose from four initial Citadel layouts and propel their Citadel into glorious sunshine or perpetual night. Players then have unrestricted customisation options for their castle keep, and can add a range of banners and flags, flying the colours of their clan for all to see. The centrepiece of today's expansion is the clan battlefields feature, presenting unique sandbox environments allowing clans to generate their own gameplay, a RuneScape first. The Battleground Editor allows players to generate their own combat scenarios and multiplayer games. Clans can create any activity, including simple capture-the-flag games, deathmatches, ball games, mazes, and any combination of these. Once the battlegrounds are fine-tuned, players can challenge other clans to participate in large-scale battles and competitions. Each clan's Citadel can be upgraded through seven tiers, unlocking more space, skilling hotspots, impressive elements and special features. These include skilling zones, portal grounds, meeting areas, a senate, dragon perch, and party room. Daniel Clough, VP of RuneScape, commented, "Today is a historic day for RuneScape, as we release the biggest expansion of the year and our largest ever community update. We have been looking for a unique and innovative way to provide new multiplayer features to the game, and we are hugely excited to see what the community makes of this update. The popularity of our in-game clans is staggering, with more than 1.3 million players signing up since our last clan update in April and, as you would expect, the level of anticipation for this update is unprecedented. Our ambitious plan has always been to make RuneScape's clan support the envy of the MMO world, and we are confident that Clan Citadels can do just that." Clan Citadels is released to RuneScape today.

New ship unveiled for Battlestar Galactica Online Posted: 25 Jul 2011 01:40 PM PDT A new ship has been revealed for Battlestar Galactica Online’s fall update. The ship, Brimir Class Carrier, is Tier 4 and the largest created to date. It bears heavy armor, is designed for fleet support, and will come with strike craft that will be either NPC or player controlled. It will be available for cubits (in-game currency), or through the item mall. Battlestar Galactica Online is published by Bigpoint, which also publishes Ruined and War of Titans. Battlestar Galactica Online Brimir Class Carrier Screenshot Source: Brimir Class Carrier The Brimir Class Carrier will be the largest ship yet, bringing new functionality to players with the ability to launch strike craft – something no other ship can do in Battlestar Galactica Online. As the largest derelicts discovered by the Colonial fleet so far, the Brimir Class Carrier shares many similarities with early Colonial designs that were eventually replaced by Battlestars.  This Tier 4 ship is capable of rapidly deploying a squadron of strike craft and acting as a tender for larger vessels. Although heavily armored, it is best suited for fleet support operations.  It has not been decided if the strike craft will be NPC or player controlled, but players will be able to attack specific targets with them. The Brimir Class Carrier will be available for cubits this fall, the in-game currency that can be earned through gameplay, or purchased. In addition to the new carrier-class ship, we are of course continuing ahead with new ship designs for Battlestar Galactica Online.
