Archlord 2 Launches First Expansion


Archlord2-OfficialRelease-Screenshot05

Archlord players have plenty to be happy about, as Webzen launched the first expansion pack for Archlord II earlier today. The expansion introduces a number of new areas and dungeons to explore and quest in, and increases the current level cap from 41 to 46. Also available to players is the new Archlord system, where players take to the battlegrounds to prove their merits. Only the best will be able to move on to the Archlord Finals, a last man standing fight that will crown the winner as the new Archlord.

Those less interested in PvP combat will find much to do in three new zones and four new dungeons. To celebrate the launch, Webzen is running a promotional login event, giving away uncommon Avatar sets. The event runs until October 13th.

Guild Wars 2's Megaservers

April 15th sees the launch of the latest content pack from Guild Wars 2, and Arenanet is finally ready to show off the last major feature to be added: Megaservers. Under this new system, players will no longer be separated into separate versions of the same map based on their home world, but rather will be assigned to one of a lower number of worlds based on factors like location and language. The megaserver is developed to create as many instances of the world as are needed, instead of the static number already in place.

What does this mean for you, the player? First off, it means no more hitting empty zones because your world is asleep, and no longer hitting the zone’s overflow location. You are also more likely to be zoned with guildmates and friends. Check out the new megaserver technology when it goes into soft launch on April 15th in beginner areas with the rest of the game coming later in 2014.
