By Johann Schutz on November 7, 2011
Q: Hi, Phinoax! As the lead designer of this upcoming browser-based casual game Roll n Rock, you must very much look forward to its excellent performance, right? A: Sure. We’ve spent a great deal of time and energy on this game, seeking to bring players the best possible gaming experience & casual competitive fun. All our developers indeed have great expectations on this game.
Q: What inspired you to develop such a game?

Dawn Breaking — Bloody Vampire Coming!
Nov 9th
After waiting for around two weeks, the new class of Dragon’s Call will be released on November 10th, 2011.
Vampires from Netherwind Fort are proficient in controlling their strength and casting spells, and are competent for different situations thanks to their strong healing ability and various single enhancements. Just because of their excellent assisting ability and massive damage, they play an indispensable role in a group.
In this version, the new class will have different skills, weapons and quicker speed to damage their enemies more; it will be popular to players who want to try fresh feelings in fighting.
The promoted class of the vampire, Count of Night, Undead Warlock can also be expected. Yet players need quite a long time and effort to experience their different advantages in fighting.
Be expected to the new update this time. Dawn breaking is at hand!

Interview with Rachel: Expectation of Vampires, The New Class in Dragon’s Call
Oct 26th
For weeks now the player community comprised of players from across all 7 servers (1/2 are merged, 3/4 likewise) have been awaiting the release of the mysterious fourth class in Dragon’s Call (DC). Even though still in development, the vampire class has stirred the interest of players, with the avatars for the new class released a few weeks back.
Quality was terrible so I excluded it.
With only a few details released about vampires, the community has turned to speculation as to what exactly this new class will bring to the game and how they will affect the gameplay and class balance. We interviewed Countess Ra ([CM]Rachel) of server 7 to shed some light on the player expectations of vampires.
Q) What does the word “vampire” bring to mind?
A) The first thing I think of would be how much it’s going to suck when vampires come out on Dragon’s Call. No pun intended.
Q) There is a lot of secrecy surrounding this new class, what would you say are safe assumptions in terms of characteristics boasted by the vampire class when it is finally unveiled.
A) Probably immunity from HP leech. By HP leech, I mean a lot of HP leech, not just 5% from More >
Interview with Hyral: Boss of S9
Oct 19th
Mire, Dragon’s Call Players Journalist, had posted an interview in the form:
The majority of the player community from S9 has witnessed the rapid rise of Hyral through the level rankings to claim the highly coveted number one placing in the level ranks of server 9. We managed to get a hold of him for a quick interview, shedding some light on how he has accelerated through the rankings and kept ahead of the rest.
Q) Everybody on s9 wonders how you’ve leveled so fast, took the #1 spot and maintained it. How did you do it? Are there any tips you would give to new players seeking to do well in this game? A) I make sure to exhaust all sources of ap, buying the maximum allowed each day as well as trying to optimize my use of it to give me as much xp as possible. This would include running instances with and without quests seeing as they yield good xp return for the ap cost. I am very religious when it comes to getting and handing in quests for my instance runs and for finishing normal storyline quests too.
Q) The name Hyral is quite interesting, where did the inspiration More >

Big Fights! Official VS Hardcore Players!
Sep 30th
Mire, journalist of Dragon’s Call, posted a thread about Alts (Alternate characters) issue, which has been argued fiercely recently. Alts have long been a controversy within Dragon’s Call, with debate over the avenues for exploitation should alternate characters are permitted or not. These days, players are scouted out 700 Alts or so in only one server- S8, especially one of hardcore players has more than ten lvl100 Alts, the official asks for Alts deletion while players resist, thus bringing this dispute to a another climax.
Players say that to permit alternate characters would open the door to arena alts, and some characters were created for the purpose of ranking within the top 9 of the various arena brackets. These characters generally boast complete or near complete sets of +9 sacrilege quality gear and shine with 800+ soul power, making it near impossible for normal players within the same bracket to place and obtain additional honor points. Farming for gems, dragonshards and sacrilege gear from either the NPC stores or from rare loot drops has also been a problem with alts.
“I’ve probably been fired already because if I saw the conversation I with these worthless failures, that I had on messenger last More >
Covered or Naked, That is a Question!
Sep 23rd
How exciting and erotic when watching a beauty wearing a bikini fight with monsters, which is a feast to players’ eyes while experiencing the thrill of battles! There is no wonder that it is an enjoyable thing to kill leisure time, thus an increasing number of games nowadays make greater efforts to create visual shock in game, and players are gradually getting more and more accustomed to the exposure of female characters.
Even so, EverDream Studio tried to revamp female characters’ clothes, and also change some NPCs’ “non-Muslim exciting” talks, etc. before marching into Arabic Market.
However some players state that the avoidance of making female characters in Arabic server exposed should be required, otherwise it is kind of profanation, which makes them feel sick.
“Arabs are conservative, but are the westerners open?” Another group of players indicate that the West is much less bare than the conception from the outside.
Although various factors influence one’s mind even the whole race, including education, economy, culture, religion, and so on, the history mostly established by the geographical environment and religious belief decides the traditional clothing, making the impression that Arabs are turbaned head and covered face be taken strong root in the mind of people More >

Browser92, Dragon’s Call Players Journalist, had posted an interview for the first part of Dragon’s Call 2.0 new patch. All the opinions he presented are objective and original. Think the Dev. Team would have to reconsider about their next updates.

Review of this patch! —By Bowser92
Hello Players! Now that the patch is here, I’m going to review it part by part. In my opinion this patch was not that good, a few things where awesome and many things where really bad. Many users seem to want to quit cause of it and I understand them because this patch mostly makes DG users stronger and non DG users less strong. The thing I probably was most disappointed with in this patch was the “reset stats” and the gold decrease. The favorite is definitely stacking in warehouse.
“1. Wage System The wage system allows players to claim rewards with the use of points accumulated by completing relevant quests. Click the “Reward” -> “Wage” button in the upper navigation panel to enter the wage page.”
The wage system is okay in my opinion. It’s nice that you can earn some extra DS and the effort required to obtain More >
