It’s Been A While
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
RezPLS! has died and revived, died and revived.
I’m not going to lie, it’s been a bumpy road for us.
The main problem was not fully understanding how to code a wordpress theme so it made it extremely difficult to maintain.
We’ve also been very busy with businesses, work, school, relationships and more.
But there are plans…
Bounty Bay Online — New Active Pets
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
Quartet of active pets for Bounty Bay Online
Four new pets and an extended pet system to arrive with ‘Beyond the Horizon’
In ‘Beyond the Horizon’ Frogster is to expand the pet system of Bounty Bay Online with various new functions and will introduce four new pets. Hell Wolf, Ice Fairy, Shadow Reaper and Wild Bull will become available to players as faithful companions in the fourth quarter of 2009 as a part of the comprehensive expansion. Along with traditional functions and values such as Loyalty, Health, Experience, or Pet Level, the new pets will also have so-called ‘additional attributes’ such as ‘Damage Bonus’ and ‘Critical Hit’. Slots in the interface of the four newcomers will enable players to fit equipment or to teach them exclusive skills. Thanks to the new companions having their own inventories, they offer additional storage space for the main character. With basic commands such as ‘Attack’ or ‘Follow’, owners can control their pets either via the pet menu or by using the action bar. A separate pet action bar allows players to arrange the pet quartet’s exclusive skills comfortably and execute these from there.
The four new creatures can be summoned using a special whistle which will be available in the Item Shop. With all their supporting functions, the pets are rather more than just passive companions. As brave protectors, untiring hunters and strong combatants, they are controlled in parallel with the main character and thus are always actively at the players’ sides. But so that their pets don’t take flight, or even die, players need take care of their pets and feed them attentively.
Frogster is going to publish Bounty Bay Online ‘Beyond the Horizon’ in the fourth quarter of 2009 according to current plans. Besides the active pet system, the expansion will contain the new continent South America, six new towns, five new character classes, new instances, new PvP arenas and tournaments and new mini-games. In keeping with its predecessors, ‘Beyond the Horizon’ will be available free of charge. Players can obtain regular bulletins about the up-coming expansion at a special info web page: http://bth.bountybayonline.de.

Runes of Magic — Raid Dungeon Announced
Thursday, September 10th, 2009
‘Hall of Survivors’ Sends Players up Against the Powerful Guardians -
SAN FRANCISCO – September 10, 2009 – Deep beneath the Savage Lands lies the forgotten forge of the Guardians. With the launch of the second chapter of Runes of Magic, the raid dungeon ‘Hall of Survivors’ will open the gates to its subterranean workshops. And there, groups of up to 12 brave adventurers at a time will encounter the powerful Golems.
Once created by the hands of man, the Guardians soon turned against their creators. After suffering heavy losses, the people of Taborea banded together to turn back the Golems. Their workshops were forgotten, but in the deepest depths, the ancient creatures survived. Gathered around their leader ‘Protector Andaphelmor’, countless Guardians watch over their long forgotten treasures within ruins destroyed by lava flows.
The new raid dungeon in the bowels of the earth will demand much of players. Only the most exceptionally experienced and equipped 12-person raid parties should venture into the ‘Hall of Survivors’. Only these groups will be able to carry out the demanding tactical combat required to go up against eight bosses in total. Equipped with powerful abilities, each of the eight bosses can dispatch unprepared adventurers within seconds.
A sneak peek of the new raid dungeon, ‘Hall of Survivors’ which is launching with ‘The Elven Prophecy’ on September 15th can be seen on the official Runes of Magic website: www.runesofmagic.com/us/videos.html

Bounty Bay Online — New Classes

New character classes for Bounty Bay Online
Five classes with special abilities in upcoming expansion ‘Beyond the Horizon’
The next big expansion of Bounty Bay Online will integrate five character classes with their individual special abilities into the historical world of exploration. Each of the five new classes Royal Military Officer, Imperial Guardian, Caribbean Pirate, Treasure Hunter and Armed Businessman, will receive its own individual skill tree in ‘Beyond the Horizon’. Using talent points, which can be acquired through applying their abilities, players can further expand on their special skills in the three areas of land combat, sea combat, and production (crafting). Players can drag & drop the active skills of the new classes such as certain special attacks into their skill bar and directly execute them from there as required. Passive Skills for the new character classes act as a permanent ‘buff’ or bonus.
Upon meeting the first NPC in Athens in a new Tutorial Quest, beginners will have the choice from one of the five character classes in the upcoming expansion ‘Beyond the Horizon’. A class trainer in the city will further instruct them in on-going use of the new system as the quest series progresses. Advanced players can choose one of the five classes in addition to the abilities they already learned and thereby complement these with the new special functions. All five character classes are playable as either male or female game characters. The choice of character class has no influence on the outward appearance of the characters. But all of the five classes can acquire an impressive new equipment set that awaits them as booty to reward success in high level instances, or as a reward for the victory in a PvP tournament.
Frogster is going to publish the expansion ‘Beyond the Horizon’ with its many new features in both German and English language versions. A little later French players of Bounty Bay Online will also be able to check out the new content, such as the new continent South America, six new cities, the five new character classes, the active pet system, new instances, new PvP arenas and tournaments, new ranking systems and new mini-games. In keeping with its predecessors, ‘Beyond the Horizon’ will be available free of charge. Players can obtain regular information bulletins about the up-coming expansion at this info site: http://bth.bountybayonline.com

Runes of Magic — Mini-game of Terror

Mini-Game Dispatches Players Onto A Course of Terror
- New Solo Challenge for Runes of Magic -
SAN FRANCISCO – September 8, 2009 – The curtain goes up on the ‘Course of Terror’! The clown Malatina offers a new solo challenge for plucky adventurers in the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, Runes of Magic. Once per day, she will give players the opportunity to enter a challenging, obstacle-packed dungeon. The mini-game will be added to the game in the final content update for the full launch of ‘Chapter II – The Elven Prophecy’, on September 15th.
The dungeon consists of a chamber containing 45 fields, each with a seal that hides a range of different obstacles to challenge the adventurer. Each of these demands a special tactic: For example, ice barricades can only be overcome by using a heavy artillery piece. Players have to use the right tools for the job during the game‘s ten minutes. Clown ghosts constantly appear, making matters even worse for our heroes. Once adventurers discover the field containing the key, they’ll receive rewards as well as an entry into the next round. Special titles can also be unlocked using ‘ghost cards’, to reward players for completing the challenge.
There is also additional work in progress on other solo challenges which will be added to Runes of Magic. “We like to always look for ways to keep our players entertained and offer them plenty of variety,” commented PR Manager Philipp Senkbeil. “MMO players don’t always want to be in groups and mini-games are a perfect change from the routine of raids.”
There’s a new in-game video showing the ‘Course of Terror’ in action at: www.runesofmagic.com/us/videos.html

Runes of Magic — New Dungeon
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
New High Level Dungeon Introduced in Runes of Magic
- The Origin Leads Players Along the Elf Kingdom’s Sunken Paths -
SAN FRANCISCO – September 3, 2009 – The secret of the Elven folk in Runes of Magic has laid deeply hidden in the Aslan Valley for centuries. Yet dark demons have corrupted the Ents, the peace-loving guardians of this holy place, which is known throughout Taborea as ‘The Origin’. Beginning September 15th, brave adventurers can explore Runes of Magic’s high level group dungeon, ‘The Origin’ and support the Elves in leading the Ents back to the righteous path.
In the instance, players encounter opponents which are closely bonded to nature and have settled under the open skies in an abandoned Elven city. Together with elemental beings and the powerful Ents, players face mutant beetles and bloodworms, which have brought about the corruption.
Players will have to confront four bosses before they can unlock the secret of the Elves and bring the sacred tree, Falynum, back to its senses. The encounter with the giant tree presents a huge challenge: In the course of the combat, Falynum summons assistance. Later on, an opponent who was already believed to have been beaten returns to the fray.
After ‘The Origin’ goes live on September 15th, additional instances will be added to the new zones of ‘Chapter II – The Elven Prophecy’. With this, Frogster is ensuring that the second chapter of Runes of Magic will also give players a broad range of challenges in the high level areas.
