Source: Haarlem, The Netherlands – 22 November 2011 - Videogame publisher Iceberg Interactive and game developer Masthead Studios have announced that the MMORPG Earthrise will become Free To Play in 2012. Starting December 1st, Masthead will no longer charge players monthly subscriptions. The boxed edition that is currently available in the retail market from Iceberg Interactive, will still represent 20 Euro of value and the included key code will give access to the premium version of the game. Accompanying this press release are 5 new screenshots from Earthrise. Earthrise is a post-apocalyptic science fiction MMORPG set in the distant future. In the aftermath of the Third World War, mankind has managed to survive and build a new society. Cloning, nanotechnology and quantum engineering are part of the new reality. Thanks to these technological advances, the human species has become immortal. Each individual's consciousness is stored in a data vault, ready to be uploaded into a cloned body as necessary. There is a unified government that takes good care of those citizens who abide its strict laws. It appears paradise might have really come to Earth and the people have embraced it. But not everything is as perfect as it seems. By exercising full control over the cloning process, Sal Vitas’ government decides who will live and who will not, playing the role of God on Earth. Insurgent forces have accused the city’s rulers of crimes against humanity. Armed factions fight for resources and power within the new system. And from the waves of discontent, a revolution has fomented forming a rebel government: Noir. Featuring an unique skill-based advancement system and player-driven economy, as well as extensive, meaningful player-vs.-player combat, Earthrise gives you innumerable choices to forge your destiny. Whether you’re a noble soldier in the raging conflict between the government-run "utopia" and the rebellion opposing it; a criminal hiding from the law; or a world-renowned engineer whose power extends into intricate trade and politics, your actions will echo throughout the game world. Key Features - A unique post-apocalyptic setting where the cloned remnants of mankind battle to survive and rebuild.
- Highly customizable characters with over 100 different skills, abilities, and tactics.

| Dragon Nest unleashes Theater of War Posted: 22 Nov 2011 12:23 PM PST The Theater of War update has arrived for players of Dragon Nest. The update tunes PvP by improving Ghoul Mode, adding new skills, items, and achievements, and adding three new game modes: Protect-the-Captain, where players must work to protect their team leader while taking out the opposing team’s leader; free-for-all, a sixteen player deathmatch; and a three-on-three Ladder Mode. Also new in the update are two new dungeons: Chaos Rift Kamala (24+, Abyss Mode) and Chaos Rift Viera (32+, Abyss Mode), both of which shift layouts every time a player enters. Dragon Eggs may now be purchased from the Dragon Vault with a chance of obtaining the Royal Crimson Stallion, a new mount (and the first for Dragon Nest) which grants 70% bonus speed in town and fields. Dragon Nest is published by Nexon, which also publishes Vindictus and Mabinogi.  Dragon Nest Gameplay Screenshot Source: The "Theater of War" Comes to Dragon Nest New PvP content, dungeons, Black Friday deals arrive this week Nexon is adding new player versus player (PvP) game modes and upgrades to Dragon Nest today as part of a new content update, "Theater of War." The update for its popular online action RPG also includes two challenging new dungeons for high level players and a host of other game improvements. New fighting styles make their debut on the PvP front today, and the game's classic PvP modes are getting a makeover as well. In the new Protect-the-Captain game mode, players must work together as a team to safeguard their team captain while pressing the offensive to eliminate the opposing team's leader. Teamwork, coordination, feints and ruses are the tools necessary for the cunning team to win the day. Also new to PvP is the free-for-all mode, where up to 16 players are cut loose to battle each other in a bloodthirsty brawl for supremacy. Players can fight, or they can fly, but they can't hide forever in this fast-paced game mode. Additionally, a new three-on-three Ladder Mode has been added, wherein teams of three players face off against each other. The popular Ghoul Mode, introduced with last month's Halloween update, is receiving a number of improvements. Players can now turn into mummy ghouls and access new ghoul skills, items and achievements. Finally, medals and EXP will be awarded should players wish to consume their power bar to do so. Two new dungeons are opening up today with the "Theater of War" update. Located in the Garden of Eternity, Chaos Rift Kamala is a new dungeon for level 24 players and above. Playable only on Abyss Mode, the game's highest difficulty level, players are encouraged to take a friend (or few) along. Chaos Rift Viera is another new dungeon playable on Abyss Mode for players at the current level cap of 32. Unlike other dungeons, the layout in these two new dungeons changes every time a player enters presenting a fresh experience each time. Additionally, players can now purchase Dragon Eggs (Gachapon) from the Dragon Vault, and each egg has a chance of containing a Royal Crimson Stallion, the game's first mount. Players will be the envy of their peers as they strut through town on top of this magnificent beast, which also grants a 70 percent movement speed bonus in town and fields. It wouldn't be a proper Thanksgiving without Black Friday deals, and Dragon Nest players will have a slew of deals to look forward to beginning Friday, Nov. 25. For every 500,000 dungeons that Dragon Nest players collectively complete from now until Friday, Nexon will unveil a new Black Friday promotion on the game's website.

| The Mummy Online Posted: 22 Nov 2011 10:58 AM PST The Mummy Online is a browser-based, top-down Diablo style MMORPG. Released by Bigpoint, creator of Battlefield Heroes, and based on its movie equivalent, The Mummy Online plunges players into 1930 Egypt either as adventurers fighting the mummy, or cultists who strive to awaken it. Wield the whip, the gun or the spell as you explore thematic environments inspired by the movie.  Publisher: Bigpoint
Playerbase: Low
Graphics: Medium Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: PvP Areas
Filesize: N/A Pros: +Quality graphics and physics engine. +Interesting setting and environments. +Skill-based abilities makes for interesting gameplay. Cons: -Very small player population. –A lot of technical glitches. –Extremely short on content.
 
OverviewThe Mummy Online OverviewBased on the movie of the same name, The Mummy Online is brought to us by Big Point, more commonly known for Battlefield Heroes, Drakensang Online and Battlestar Galactica Online. Players are allowed to play one of three classes, a melee, a ranged and a caster, divided between two factions(raiders and cultists) vying against each other for control of PvP areas. Unfortunately, The Mummy Online has little to offer in the way of solid entertainment, and content is lacking to say the very least. Not only lacking in the way of content, it suffers from a plethora of bugs and technical difficulties that can range from difficulty logging in to total graphic failure. The Mummy Online ScreenshotsThe Mummy Online Featured Video Full ReviewThe Mummy Online Full ReviewBy, Guillaume Barbeau-Roberge You've undoubtedly heard of the 1999 movie "The Mummy", its plethora of sequels and even a spin-off. While the movie was not necessarily master-piece or game worthy, it brought in enough revenue to wet the whiskers of a handful of publishers, including Konami, and in this case Bigpoint. Thus enters The Mummy Online, the latest in a line of not necessarily unwanted, but definitely unneeded Mummy adaptations. Developed and published by the developer more commonly known for Battlefield Heroes, The Mummy Online benefits from earlier games' technology, and boasts quality graphics and a physics engine that actually turns out pretty good (even more so for a browser game). There's no denying that the original setting for The Mummy has rarely been adapted to MMORPG. That said, it takes more than an original experience to make a fun game. So, does The Mummy Online make the cut? Read on to know! I Hope You Like Scarabs As this is a browser game, you start out on the website, choose a server, and pop! You're brought to the character screen. Unfortunately, this is the spot where most of the problems were had during this review, as some servers would sometimes just skip on that part where it starts up the game. A few different browsers away and the problem was fixed, but it still amounted to way more effort than should be necessary just to get the thing started. You're brought immediately to a fairly straight to the point character creation screen – choose your faction; cultists, the bad guys who really like the color red, and raiders, most of whom seem to share common ancestry with Indiana Jones. You choose your class out of three of them, which will mainly determine your fighting style (melee, ranged, spells). All classes are essentially identical, appearance-wise, with customization being limited to sex, skin and hair color. The characters themselves aren't too bad looking, just very similar to each other. Each class has about two different types of weapons, such as pistols and rifles for the ranged classes. The tutorial leads you through the essential of what you need to know, and is a good preview of the nifty looking physics, and skill-based abilities. This is a fairly important bit, as the terrain blocking your shots can make a difference in PvP.  Anck-So-Lame The gameplay is typical, and unfortunately not very deep. You get a quest, get potions, then go out and beat/shoot/curse a variety of different critters. There are –very- few abilities, barely a handful, and your ability bar can carry no more than 4 of them. Potions occupy 4 other toolbar slots, and their high price makes it relatively useless to get many of them, which leaves you with some solutions. You can head back to town to heal, you can use potions, or you can die. I preferred the latter, as dying costs virtually nothing. And considering you share your areas with the enemy, dying is sure to happen, and potions get costy very quickly. Quests, in my experience, are few, extremely repetitive, and bugged. While some MMOs progressively ramp up to the point where each quest takes a long time, Mummy throws you immediately into the fray, with "Kill 40 pygmies" being an example of an early one. Critters drop gold and rubies, the two currencies of the game. Gold allows you to buy equipment, potions, the regular stuff. Rubies are sort of like money store currency; it lets you buy gold, and stuff from the ruby store.  The Rock Would Frown The Mummy Online currently has a collection of flaws that makes it very difficult to appreciate. First and foremost that it has extremely little content. Boasting a handful of zones, some of which are restricted to one faction (but have mirror equivalents on the other side), a couple of dungeons and a single town, this is a very, very small game, and it is very limited in its variety of environments. Not only that, but some zones seemed to be impossible to access. Secondly, it has a very tiny population, with rarely ever any cultist online, making the zones feel quite empty. Even when there are people in the area, players tend to look similar as there is very little customizations barring a few hats and a beard. The critters are not very varied, the quests are buggy, and graphics will sometimes glitch when you change areas. Freezes are common, and seem to occur most frequently when starting, or closing the tab/window. Lastly, there are missing features, like the money store or the social tab, making this one incomplete title with little to offer.  Final Verdict: Poor Even if you liked the movies, do yourself a favor and skip this one. Or, at the very least, wait for a few updates to come through before you give it a try. This is a game that feels more like a test for an engine rather than an actual title and its shortness will leave most players unsatisfied. Though it is early, there is a base for potential that cannot be neglected, and a significant chance that with proper attention, The Mummy Online could become a solid title. That time isn't now however, and it'll take more than a few fixes to make this one playable. ScreenshotsThe Mummy Online Screenshots |
