Combat Arms launches Remaster

Posted: 30 Sep 2011 06:07 PM PDT

The second part of the Fusion update line for Combat Arms, “Remaster,” is now live.

The update features a new line of weapons in the Gun Emporium Gold (fused together from other weapons), and players will be able to forge together new weapons to improve gun statitistics. The Emporium’s interface has also been streamlined. Also introduced is a new map, Piazza, designed for Search & Destroy: a quiet Italian village where players must defend a recovered EMP bomb.

Combat Arms is published by Nexon, which also publishes Dragon Nest and Vindictus.

Combat Arms Introduces Second Phase of Fusion, Remaster

Nexon America's Combat Arms is offering players more effective methods to attack each other's clans on an new Italian-themed map with the new Remaster content update.

Players will experience a whole emporium of new weapons with the Remaster update as Bubba Ares introduces the newest line of weapons for the sharp-shooting soldier. Weapons in Gun Emporium Gold will be made up of bits and pieces of various weapons, fused together to form the deadliest weapons to date. Forging weapons allows players to improve specific gun statistics, customizing weapons to individual play styles. Additionally, thanks to player feedback, the Gun Emporium user interface has been streamlined to be faster and easier for anyone to start building customized weapons.

In addition to forging weapons, players can explore the newly added clan-exclusive Search & Destroy map, Piazza. This new map throws players into an Italian village where they must defend a recovered EMP bomb until communication with headquarters can be restored.

Fiesta Celebrates Four 4 Years

Four Years of Friends, Fun, and Festivities

SAN FRANCISCO – September 30, 2011 – Fiesta, the fantasy-based Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) powerhouse from Outspark, is having a giant anniversary in honor of four fun-filled and exciting years since launch.

As always, Fiesta and Outspark are doing this anniversary with style, pizzazz, and plenty of events. Outspark wants to celebrate and commemorate the time and effort players have put into the game to help keep the community vibrant and spellbound. This celebration focuses on not just the game, but the community as well. The 4th Anniversary festivities include a variety of events both inside and outside of the game, such as MVP forum events, fansite promotions, and plenty of in-game activities.

"We're pulling out all the bells and whistles for the celebration of our flagship game," commented Philip Yun, CEO of Outspark. "It's great to see how far the game has come over the last four years and think about all of the reasons players have to be celebrating this monumental achievement."

With all the millions of players that have played, Fiesta has also racked up some astronomical numbers when it comes to the game statistics. Here's a few interesting ones:

• Players have dispatched more than 37 million monsters and bosses, which is approximately one monster or boss every 3 seconds.
• Players have accrued over 3.2 quadrillion experience points. If each EXP point was worth 1 US cent, the combined GDP of Fiesta each year ($8 Trillion) would come second only to the US (~$14 Trillion).
• Players have invested a total of 146 million hours into their characters. That's the equivalent of over 70,000 years of work at a normal 9-to-5 job.
• Players have sacrificed their lives more than 17 million times in their protection of Isya, the world of Fiesta.

Fiesta is starting off the celebration with an extra present for players to roar about with a code that pays out a 100% EXP boost and 10 "Roar" emotes to the first 4,444 players who use it at www.outspark.com/redeem. The code is "2011FiestaTurns4". Limit of one redemption per player account.
