Get Lucky in RuneScape: Jagex Overhauls Luck Mechanic


Call it what you want, luck is a big factor in MMORPG’s. You can pray to RNGesus all you want, but at the end of the day you’re still beholden to that invisible spinning wheel landing on the items you need to make the big bucks. It’s the difference between going home a billionaire and heading home in a digital body bag. With today’s update to RuneScape, Jagex is retooling how your character’s luck is determined.

Luck-enhancing items now fall on one of four tiers. Tiers 1-3 affect content specific to certain level ranges. Tier 4 affects content of all levels, along with some extra benefits of its own.

Your luck rises with one of four rings, as well as through various other items. To check out the entire list of changes, click on the link below for this week’s patch notes.

TERA Sweetens The Deal: More Stuff For Subscribers


En Masse Entertainment wants to sweeten the deal with TERA’s subscriber rewards, and will be offering 15 daily EMP to elite subscribers. That’s 450 EMP per month assuming you log in every day and the month happens to have thirty days in it (your month mileage may vary). If you don’t play TERA, our referencing of EMP is probably meaningless to you. EMP is TERA’s cash shop currency, and it roughly translates to 100 per dollar.

So a month’s subscription at $15 gets you $4.50 in cash shop currency, which is pretty standard for subscriptions that offer some sort of stipend. You just have to log in every day to get it. In addition, TERA subscribers enjoy:

  • Double the daily dungeon entries
  • Double XP boosts
  • Free daily rewards (including scrolls and potions)
  • Elite-only sales in the TERA Store
  • Free 30-day Village Atlas
  • Free 30-day Travel Journal
  • No fees for using the in-game trade broker
  • …and more!

For more information, check out the official website below.

TERA Sees Huge Number Spikes Thanks To Steam


As surprising as it may sound, releasing on Steam can do wonders for a game’s community, as European publisher Gameforge and developer Bluehole Studios found out following the successful rollout of TERA on the digital distribution service. Since its launch, TERA has remained in the top 30 list of free to play games. According to Steam Charts, TERA enjoys on average more than three thousand concurrent players on Steam alone.

Olaf Bernhard, CMO of Gameforge, says: “Our strategy of bringing not only new releases to Steam but also re-releasing our most successful games, proves very successful: With every game we manage to bring new fans in and reactive former players.”

Support for TERA is still going with a new class set to release in April, the Valkyrie, which players will be able to reserve their names for shortly.
