DRAGONS CALL:A FRESH LOOK AT ONLINE PROMOTION
Aug 15th
Moscow, July 2011 – “Dragons Call” team suggested RMA students to create an online promotion strategy for the game.
The idea of asking Internet Industry Management faculty students came from the need to see mostly inexperienced users, who are new to online gaming in “Dragons Call”. This, of course, requires a fresh look on online promotion, which, “Dragons Team” hopes, to be found in RMA students.
Students were divided in five random groups; every group has a random supervisor. Each group has a budget of 200 thousand rubles (additional 100 thousand rubles are provided to a group which will create an effective viral marketing campaign).
The competition started at the beginning of June 2011, right after two weeks, needed for preparation, passed.

Dragon’s Call: a player hits level 40 on the first day
Jul 2nd
Not only US players but also the players on Taiwan Dragon’s Call server was shocked by this breaking News on the first day of Server 8 launch. Dragon’s Call Server 8 was successfully launched on June 28th, 2011, while a player named Shadowshaman reached level 40 on the first day, to be specific, in 5 hours only!
On 28th, around (GMT + 8) 16:00, a message from the staff of Taiwan Server was sent to the GM who is in charge of the newly launched Server 8, with a screenshot of the world chat log from their Server. The screenshot displayed a sentence “That’s insane! US new server was launched at 11:00 this morning; a guy had already reached level 37.”The staff of Taiwan Server requested an investigation on this high-level geek with the in-game name Shadowshaman, since the players on Taiwan server were all gossiping about him.
There is an Action Point system to limit the players’ movement each day, so it is impossible to reach this kind of high level in such a short time. But then the Taiwan players had also found out that an extra in-game system on the US servers might lead to this kind of miracle More >

Jun 27th
Regardless of how many arguments are going on inside its player community, EverDream Studio decided to move on. They will launch the Dragon’s Call Eighth Server – Orclar at (GMT+8) 11:00 AM, June 28th, 2011. This new server is specially designed for Asian players, thus it is using the GMT+8 as the server’s standard time zone. A new stage for the warriors who come from those secret traditional regions will be unveiled soon.
Dragon’s Call is a browser-based MMORPG set in a mythological fantasy land. As a young adventurer from the village of Willshire, you are given the chance to prove yourself as the ultimate hero, by doing whatever it takes to locate the missing prince and overthrow your evil opponents. Click here for in-depth backstory and game features.
Recently a few fierce arguments were going on throughout the player volunteer team and extended to the whole player community, including a previous Community Manager’s strike for his rights, then the whole volunteer team voting to strike against a policy change. Let’s see what stories we will get from this new Asian server after its launch.
“Is it appropriate to talk about Sexual Innuendo in world chat?”
May 30th
Absolutely no! The answer is obvious. But it’s understandable when many young adults gather around in a group, isn’t it? Especially, when they are hooking up in the in-game chat. A female Dragon’s Call player named “HOT_FUDGE_SUNDAE”, typed up words about “whipped cream” with an evil smile in the world chat, which lit up the fire for a series of adult sex talks last week. Another player reported to the official with captured chat screenshots on the official forum board and asked “Is it appropriate to talk about Sexual Innuendo in world chat?”
The GH (Game Helper, player volunteer of Dragon’s Call) group suggested adding the following rules for Dragon’s Call – “No sexual innuendo in world chat. And do not use cell phone to send advertise messages while you get drunk in the bathroom.” A few chat mutes will surely be applied as a warm for those random horny young adults, but the official doesn’t seem to have further solutions for this.
Actually, a similar issue happened on the Gay Pride Week last year. This news might remind you a bit – “A Player Threatens to Sue Dragon’s Call Dev. for Censoring the Word ‘Gay’”. What if those gays came back More >
Dragon’s Call for a Player’s Death
May 20th
Recently, a DC player volunteer had passed away, the DC community sent a request to Ever Dream Studio, asking for developing a new in-game class named after him.
Barbarian (IGN), a GH (Game Helper, a special title for player volunteers) of Dragon’s Call community, had just passed away due to bad health. The player community posted up a condolence thread for him and asked the game official to create a new class – Barbarian, in memory of this kind and superb GH.
Barbarian was the vice leader of Psycho Mercs as well as an excellent Game Helper in the game. He helped many players enjoy this new game, and had a very good reputation around the whole Dragon’s Call community. “I just talked to him last week and he was fine, he was still in ICU but fine. This news shocked us all.” Destiny Katiana, the Community Manager, said in a sad mood. “I’ve known him for over a year, he was a body builder and was almost 7-foot tall and weighed 20 stone before the accident and dropped down to 12 stone” Psycho, the guild leader, paused, “And he was my guild’s vice leader, always remembered as one of the people More >
More servers, more sex sells
May 10th
EverDream Studio is going to launch Server 2 for its WarFlow very soon, at PDT 19:30 May 12th, to be specific. Actually, it’s only shortly after the first release of this game that was on April 19th, 2011.
Does this mean the sex sells was a success? No clues, but EverDream did admit that many of their partner companies were keen on the full image of their first ad poster. Well, guess it would be better if they added “We care about your gaming experience” on the banner as F.E.A.R. 2 did on their sexy commercial videos (Caution: Link NSFW).
Sadly, there have been very few players caring about the features of a game recently. So the following words are only prepared for that small bunch of readers who concern about the game itself. WarFlow is a pretty creative browser-based MMORTS game, featured with 300 Heroes & 74 types of troops. Players may plunder mines and farms, join the alliance, and start the legion wars. And the most interesting part is to find the secret relation between the formation, the types of troops and the tech tree. When players change the combination of these elements, the result of battles will always become More >
