Aeria Games Announces Combat-Oriented Fantasy MMORPG, Dragon Knights
Closed Beta Registration Begins for Action-Packed Free-to-Play Online PC Game
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – June 12, 2012 – A long-lost order of knights. An ancient evil. A rousing new massively multiplayer online experience. Aeria Games, a leading global publisher of free-to-play online games, today unveiled its action-packed new MMO, Dragon Knights, a PvP-intensive, visually striking, 3D fantasy roleplaying game. Closed beta registration has begun for all players who would heed the call to save the world of Litos by rekindling the flames of the mysterious Dragon Knights order.
"Dragon Knights immerses players in a vibrant and violent fantasy world which is designed to encourage a multitude of ways for players to fight with each other," said Executive Producer Spencer Tucker. "Core players will enjoy a rich MMORPG experience packed with PvP combat, large scale guild battles, and even a political system where they can get elected to positions of power."
In the free-to-play (FTP) game, players will combat the emerging threat of the malevolent dragon Kharvag. Defeated centuries prior by an enigmatic order known as the Dragon Knights, Kharvag has returned to wreak havoc on the world of Litos. It's up to players to seek out the power and strength of the lost order by establishing a new legion of Dragon Knights willing to stand against their ancient enemy.
While players will adventure through lush and exotic landscapes and delve into perilous dungeons, the game also boasts a strong focus on large-scale PvP combat. Guilds can challenge each other to vast battles with many players. In addition, castle sieges offer a twist on guild warfare—an attacking guild must try to oust defenders from their castle. The winning guild retains ownership of the castle, allowing access to its functions and potentially lucrative tax revenue.
Dragon Knights also incorporates other unique features uncommon in free-to-play MMORPGs, such as the transformation and election systems. With the transformation system, players can actually take the form of various monsters in the game, altering not just their physical appearance, but also their battle capabilities. The election system allows players to fully participate in the political arena and vote their peers into influential positions such as Cardinal and Emperor, encouraging competition and rivalry beyond the battlefield.
Dragon Knights will require a client download, and like all Aeria Games titles, is free-to-play. Players interested in registering for the closed beta can visit http://dragonknights.aeriagames.com. For more information, please visit the Facebook page. You can also watch the official trailer here.

IRVINE, Calif. – June 12, 2012 – Gamania Digital Entertainment today announced the Open Beta launch of its free-to-play, 3D MMORPG, Divina. With the servers now open to everyone, Gamania is inviting new players to come experience Divina's vibrant world, unique characters, and exciting gameplay features – including the newly released Guild versus Guild (GvG) system.

"Everyone has had a great time exploring the game together so far and we're looking forward to adding new players. As always, we'll have fun events running and a friendly GM team in-game to help out the community."
During the Open Beta, players will be able to enter the GvG arena, called Ubajin Fiesta, for the very first time. In Ubajin Fiesta, two teams face off against each other in heated "capture the flag" style matches and battle for Prayer Energy by capturing Spirit Stones, activating Holy Stones, and killing the enemy. Ubajin Fiesta requires teamwork and strategy, as each team must control multiple points at once to dominate the match.

Now, players will be able to choose between PvP and PvE channels, depending on whether they're looking to compete.
