Black Prophecy Celebrates World Space Week

Hamburg, October 04, 2011 – World Space Week, taking place from October 4th through 10th, is the largest annual space event on earth. Since 1999, it has acted as both an important educational resource and inspirational tool that has led millions of people each year to better grasp how the world we live is constantly being shaped by what's beyond. In honor of this yearly celebration, the free-to-play space combat MMOG Black Prophecy will be conducting two special events that week.

The first event will offer players an increase of 25% XP for missions and enemy kills. The second will offer an additional 15% extra cash on all packet purchases worth €9.99 or more. Both events offer wonderful ways for players to build up their ships before conquering warzones in the newly released "Episode 2: Species War" expansion while reminding them about the many wonders of the galaxy – which is the reason for World Space Week.

Players can get a head start on the October 4th through 10th World Space Week XP and cash events by downloading Black Prophecy for free from www.blackprophecy.com.

The latest Black Prophecy expansion, "Episode 2:  Species War" was recently released. The trailer for it can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/c36iyzsfhd0.

Lucky Number XIII

Altar of Infinity, mentorship system and all new skills now available in Dungeon Fighter Online

The Altar of Infinity has opened up its gates in Arad this month during the Act XIII: Chaos Reigns Update in Dungeon Fighter Online. Nexon's arcade-style massively multiplayer online game now offers players the Altar of Infinity, a massive new dungeon featuring a number of new quests and monsters.

Players levels 30-70 can now explore the Altar of Infinity, which is Reaper Dreyfus' third structure in the Valley of Fallen Souls. While the new dungeon may be familiar to players who have battled through the Tower of the Dead and the Tower of Illusion, at the Altar of Infinity players  face 15 rounds of deranged beasts to test their body and spirit. Once players fight through the Altar they will ultimately face boss monster Chaos Agares. Any Dungeon Fighter who challenges the Altar of Infinity will have the chance to be selected by Chaos Agares to become the Chosen One, a title that will bestowed upon the anointed ones each Friday at  5 pm PT.

The Act XIII update also features a mentorship system which allows players to be both a Mentor (a high level character) and an Apprentice (a lower level character). By forming an Alliance, players can help each other's characters level up by battling through dungeons together as party-playing will grant both an EXP and gold bonus. A Mentor can have up to nine Apprentices under them, and after reaching the Alliance level ten, the Mentor and the Apprentice will receive rewards even when they are not party-playing with each other.

Dungeon Fighters will also be able to experience even more power with the 2nd Chronicle Sets, which are exceptional items that can be acquired through specific quests, NPC Dorothy, and from dungeons run on King's Road. Each character class will have an enhanced new set of items giving them the edge against evil and other Dungeon Fighters.

BRIGHT SHADOW GETS HALLOWEEN EXPANSION

LOADS OF NEW CONTENT TO EXPLORE + MENTOR AND APPRENTICE SYSTEM

Gamania Digital Entertainment Europe is happy to announce that it's popular free to play MMORPG Bright Shadow will get a long awaited Halloween expansion today. A new Mentor and Apprentice system will be a big help to new players and will reward veterans handsomely for their efforts in leveling up their pupils. Halloween starts early this year, so light your jack o’lantern and read on for more tricks and treats!

NEW CONTENT
The expansion will enlarge the current world by nearly twofold with many new areas and dungeons to explore. During your travels you will be able to fight new monsters such as goblins, vampires and mummies. When lucky you will be able to collect their spirits and 'imprint' them on collectible 'monster' cards which will enable you to spawn that defeated creature as an ally. Also you will be able to differentiate your character into 8 new classes when you have reached level 40. Furthermore, Bright Shadow will have numerous new quests to complete. Last but not least the level-cap will be raised from 39 to 69!

MENTOR & APPRENTICE SYSTEM
Mentors can help new players getting acquainted in the world of Luciena. When mentors and pupils fight together they exchange familiarity points, which in turn can be used to buy in-game titles and capes that can have a wide range of benefits and/or buffs. When both pupil and mentor are fighting together, both will earn an experience boost. The strenght of this boost depends on the rank of the mentor. The 5th (highest) rank can give a mentor 30% extra EXP for instance. The mentor attains his ranks through the levelling of his or her pupil. But there is more… mentors get access to exclusive mounts, such as the menacing Elemental Kirin and from rank 3, they will get the ability to teleport directly to their apprentice.

HALLOWEEN EXPANSION KEY FEATURES:
·         Over 50 new areas and dungeons to explore
·         8 new classes (Knight, Demon Slayer, Archer, Gunslinger, Mystic, Illusionist, Taoist, Exorcist)
·         Raised level cap (from 39 to 69)
·         Over 200 new monster cards to collect
·         1000+ new quests to complete
·         Mentor & Apprentice System
·         50+ elemental titles and capes to collect

Alan Lan, Product Manager for Gamania Europe said: "We have one of the most loyal and welcoming communities in the world and we are very excited to see how they will react to our Halloween expansion. We are especially looking forward to the Mentor & Apprentice system as it rewards both veterans as newcomers alike and will further strenghten the strong bonds that exist throughout our playerbase."
