Star Trek Online : Les Iconiens : Les vrais grands Mechants de STO
Jul 20th
Où l’on apprend enfin qui sont derrière les attaques des Ondines et la déstabilisation du Quadrant Alpha !
Exclusivité du magazine Star Trek (page 50 à 52) : dans le dernier numéro on découvre que les Iconiens sont derrière les attaques qui ont poussé les Ondines à nous envahir.
Les Iconiens sont une ancienne race, disparue depuis des milliers d’années et dont on retrouve les artefacts dans toutes la galaxie.
De ce fait dans toutes les séries Star Trek ou presque ils sont mentionnés à un moment ou un autre. Mais jamais on ne les voit !
Dans Star Trek Online, ils font leur retour ! Les joueurs vont en apprendre plus sur eux durant la Saison Deux qui arrivent fin juillet et surtout, devront les affronter dans la Saison Trois ! Et les producteurs et scénaristes du jeu en font les grands méchants derrière tous les affrontements des 20 dernières années de l’univers StarTrek tel qu’il est repris dans STO.
Ils s’étaient enfoncé profondément dans le Quadrant Beta, assimilant, pillant, détruisant les civilisations rencontrées. Vivant dans de larges vaisseaux, ils n’ont plus de planète. Mais ne voulant pas risquer de combattre une Fédération Unie telle que celle qui a pu s’opposer au Dominion, ils manipulent et poussent More >

New Vindictus MMO Video Introduces Dual-Wielding Character
Jul 20th
Warriors interested in high-action combat will enjoy learning more about the dual-weapon wielding character in Nexon America’s Vindictus. Vindictus is a physics-based action online role-playing game that combines stunning visuals with high-speed combat.
Lann is an intrepid warrior with a passion for weapons and specializes in dual-wielding weapons, especially swords. His attacks are speedy, and in the battlefield, enemies are left breathless at his seemingly non-stop whirlwind of slashes and thrusts. Because he relies on speed, Lann starts out wearing light armor. As he gets stronger, he learns how to wear heavy armor without impeding his quick movements.
Lann’s special skills include the Thousand Needles and Double Crescent. Thousand Needles allows players to follow a series of continuous attacks with a final strike without having to knock down their enemy first. The damage of the final strike depends on the number of earlier attacks. Double Crescent can only be used when equipped with twin swords. Players should immediately use this skill after Slip Dash for an added attack.
Vindictus is set for release later 2010 and will be available to demo at Comic-Con. For more information on Vindictus, visit www.vindictus.com and www.facebook.com/vindictus.
Tera : Frogster s’adresse à la communauté européenne de Tera
Jul 20th
L’annonce de Frogster acquérant les droits d’exploitation en Europe du MMO coréen Tera a suscité de vives réactions de la part de la communauté européenne. En réponse à ces réactions, Frogster a publié en ce jour un communiqué sur le site officiel américain.
Le 14 juillet dernier, Frogster rendait publique l’acquisition des droits d’exploitation de Tera pour l’Europe. Frogster ayant par le passé été amené à procéder à certaines modifications des jeux qu’il exploitait, exclusivement en F2P (Free-to-Play) [NdR : à ma connaissance en tout cas], la communauté européenne de Tera s’est très vite inquiétée de savoir ce qu’allait devenir le titre triple-A du Studio Bluehole une fois mis entre les mains de la société allemande. Modifié ou pas modifié, payant ou gratuit, censuré ou pas censuré, et quid de la qualité des serveurs et du service clientèle ? Des traductions ? Daniel Ullrich, le Director Product Management chez Frogster se veut rassurant.
Dans ce communiqué, il commence par réaffirmer que Tera sera exploité partout dans le monde en Pay-to-Play, donc par système d’abonnement.
Il enchaîne en expliquant que le jeu ne sera ni censuré ni dénaturé, sauf exigence d’une loi particulière d’un pays européen particulier, et dans ce cas, seulement pour ce pays.

Legend of Edda MMORPG Published by GamesCampus
Jul 20th
Sunnyvale, Calif. (July 20, 2010) – Leading online game publisher, GamesCampus.com (www.GamesCampus.com), announced today its upcoming free-to-play, massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG), Legend of Edda. Developed by EYA Soft, this fast-paced MMO will go into beta later this fall and will feature intense PVP battles along with trademark cute characters. For more information on the game and to follow the latest updates, visit http://LegendofEdda.gamescampus.com.
Based on the Greek mythological conflict between the Gods of the Olympus and the Titans, Legend of Edda takes players through a dynamic storyline divided into five unique chapters based on the conflict of two opposing factions. Players will pledge their allegiance to Olympus or Titan from the beginning — prior to character creation — which will play a large role in upcoming PVP and RVR battles.
Fast-paced PVP battles are the cornerstone of the game and will include intense personal battles, guild battles and player-killing (PK) where opposing factions can attack each other at any time. Additional PVP battles will include the Sacred Treasure Battle: a large scale RVR battle between followers of each god to obtain the sacred treasures and, lastly, the game features Guild vs. Guild mode, where players will battle within an More >
Martial Empires MMORPG Commercial Launch
Jul 20th
Hamburg July 20, 2010 – For gamigo, the launch of the English-language version of Martial Empires was its most popular game launch ever – even before its commercial launch today! Never before have so many players registered to participate in open beta testing! Players seem particularly smitten with the game’s high-quality graphics and battle animations loaded with special effects. The deluge of positive feedback from the community has been almost overwhelming!
To ring in the grand opening properly, a competition will be held. Players will be challenged to level up their newly created characters (created after July 20) as fast as they can. The first 100 players to reach level 25 will receive an extra special reward: an exclusive, non-tradable insignia proclaiming them "Master of Martial Empires" – this particular insignia will never be issued again, so this is a truly unique chance.
In time for the official launch of Martial Empires, new regions will be opened for play. West Mikan and a new dungeon offer fresh loot and exciting new challenges. The dungeons "Redcliff Cave" and "Ice Cavern" have also been redesigned. More unexplored regions will follow shortly.
