Tecmo-Koei has created a cult following among gamers with one of their best masterpieces to grace the gaming world: the Dynasty Warriors franchise. This franchise has ultimately set the bar for hack-and-slash games in a span of at least three console generations. For more than a decade now, gamers have continuously experienced plowing through thousands of enemy infantry like unwanted grass on your neighbor’s lawn. However, its multiplayer options were somehow lacking, considering how vast and expansive the story and the battles are. Enter Dynasty Warriors Online (DWO), Tecmo-Koei’s MMO installment to the franchise.

Musou Here and There

Dynasty Warriors Online features the same premise as its console predecessors. The story is still based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms historical novels, and is still led by the main characters of its previous incarnations, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Xiaohou Dun. The main difference, however, is the demotion of these protagonists to NPC status. Players of the online installment will take orders and quests from these legendary heroes instead of being directly controlled. The premise is just like the original Dynasty Warriors games: players join one of China’s three dominant factions (Three Kingdoms), Wei, Wu, or Shu, and fight for complete rule over the kingdom by taking over cities.

The General’s Privates

Just like any other MMORPG, players start off as a lowly Private with barely any possessions and credentials. Since the setting is in a war era, everyone is requested to join the military and fight. Creating the character comes first however. The character customizations are somehow limited to a few hair, face and color suggestions. Three different body builds are added into the options as well. The most unique aspect here is the personality type, ranging from Fighter, Intellectual, Passionate, Skilled, and Individual. Each personality has a list of sub-personalities to specific what type of person you are. There are no obvious or visible uses for the personality, but I do hope it does provide a role-playing experience for the character when interacting with the NPCs. Another difference in character creation is the absence of a class/job selection. The whole character schema of DWO focuses more on weapon usage and stat build, which will be further discussed later.

Controlling your character is the first thing to worry about once in the game. There’s a significant learning curve to get through in DWO. The controls and the UI somehow reflect its console predecessors, and it’s more often a hassle than a convenience. All the needed character and world information are generally accessible via the ESC button. It’s more of a chore rather than a convenience, even though there are no apparent interruptions in town. There are keyboard shortcuts for individual windows as a consolation. Movement and combat are both done by keyboard in instanced battlefields. Players relying on keyboard alone will feel the difficulty shuffling fingers of the right hand for jumping, attacking and blocking. The camera angles can only be controlled by the mouse when in town. The battlefield replaces the mouse clicks with attack functions instead, which may confuse players used to moving cameras in the heat of combat. A consolation for everyone though: the use of gamepads/controllers (even Xbox controllers ported to the PC) is easily available.

Warrior in the Making

Since DWO differs greatly from the usual MMO in terms of character development and combat, the game offers a highly extensive tutorial processes to guide new players. The game considers training new players as a serious part of character development. And when I say serious, I mean tutorial and training can extend for long hours in a span of at least 10 long quests. Fortunately, the latter part of training through the different bases and weapons is an optional matter, plus other town quests are already at your disposal. Although the quest format remains the same item-picking or enemy-slaying objective, how you go about it greatly differs. All quests have its own instanced arena/battlefield and is always timed. The quests are always win-or-lose; either you complete the task during the allotted time in the battlefield or fail and retry again.

Player progression is not based on skill or job class. It’s not even measured through base levels or experience points. Instead, soldiers like you have to go up the military ranks. It takes a number of quests before you get promoted. However, it’s not until you reach Lieutenant Major that you get to experience the PvP battles of the game. Character stats can be customized through the weapons and gear available. Tempering and modifying items are integral to your stat build, especially once you’ve reached Lt. Major. Gears can be picked up during the instanced battles while the more common ones are available in the local town market. Characters have the freedom to equip any weapon without any restriction whatsoever. The weapons have very noticeable pros and cons, plus the learning curve can sometimes be steep whenever shifting from one weapon to the next.

Romance in Battle

While all battles are generally instanced and faction-based, PvP is separated into different battle modes: Melee, Campaign, Arena, Showdown and Mock Battles. Each battle mode is differentiated according to its scale and the conditions at stake. Battles can accommodate as much as 24 players in a 12-versus-12 showdown of epic proportions. Factions have the whole of China, divided into cities, to dominate and takeover. The number of areas taken over has different effects on your faction, such as advances in weaponry and relatively lowered prices.

One quirk hindering combat is the apparent lag from the numerous character models (specifically the enemy and ally infantry) popping up all at the same time. Although the graphics options can be lowered, the huge number of NPCs flooding the screen will inevitably cause lag and possible disconnection. The lack of a decent AI is also a disappointment for the game. This is especially visible during quests. Ally infantry are utterly lifeless and obviously useless. The assisting lieutenant often gets stuck standing around in the middle of an enemy crowd or base, and calling it to your side often yields frustrating results. Enemy AI is a no-brainer as well. Although their numbers have the potential to stagger your character, the waiting time between their attacks take too long, giving you more than enough time to plow your way out. It’s an advantage for everyone, but it can get a tad frustrating in the long run, knowing that the enemies are mindless drones.

Chinese Take-Out

If you’ve played the previous Dynasty Warriors games, you won’t be disappointed with what the online incarnation has to offer. It stays true to the DW franchise. For new players or for those expecting something closer to the MMORPG genre, DWO is mediocre at best. The lack of AI, the difficult UI and controls, and other quirks all pile up to make the game half and half distasteful. The better consolation is that it’s free to play and mowing down hundreds of enemies in one sweep gives you that sense of overwhelming power.

These games, which make money by charging players for virtual goods such as clothing and weapons, are big business. Researcher DFC Intelligence forecasts the U.S. and European market for such virtual items will grow to more than $3 billion by 2015 from $800 million in 2009.

Understandably, online games will be a big topic at Gamescom, Europe’s largest industry trade fair, which runs Aug. 18-22 in Cologne.

Among the biggest free-to-play companies are American — led by Zynga Inc., Electronic Arts’ Playfish and Playdom, which Disney acquired last month for up to $763 million. But Germany is home to two rising giants: Hamburg-based Bigpoint and Gameforge, headquartered in Karlsruhe. The duo demonstrated their international clout this year by securing the online gaming rights to two of the biggest science fiction franchises of all time: “Battlestar Galactica” and “Star Trek.”

Bigpoint’s massive multiplayer online (MMO) game based on the “Battlestar” TV series will launch this October, starting with a 30-day exclusively platform on the Syfy Network’s website, Syfy.com.

Gameforge plans to launch its first “Star Trek”-themed games on Facebook in the U.S. and Germany next year. The company has beamed aboard “Star Trek” experts Denise and Michael Okuda, authors of “The Star Trek Encyclopedia” and technical supervisors on several “Star Trek” movies and TV series, as consultants and contributors.

Between them, the two German firms boast around 250 million online users. Highly profitable, they are expanding fast.

“If there is one area of the gaming industry where Germany is a frontrunner it’s in online/browser games,” says Frank Sliwka, director of the European Games Development Conference, which runs ahead of Gamescom next week.

Online gaming is particularly attractive because while sales of traditional packaged games for consoles and PCs is stagnating, the online gaming market is booming.

“Our revenues topped €100 million ($130 million) last year and we are forecasting double-digit growth for the next five years,” Gameforge CFO Christoph Jennen told THR.

Established videogame companies in the West had been slow to embrace the free-to-play business model, long a standard in Asia. Instead, most tried to copy the subscription model pioneered by “World of Warcraft,” a fantasy MMO which charges users a monthly fee to play. But many now are figuring they can make more money giving their games away and charging for online goods. Warner Bros. increased profits for its online title “Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited” by making it free-to-play and plans to do the same for its “Lord of the Rings Online” game. Sony Corp. has done the same with “EverQuest II.” launching a parallel free-to-play version of its flagship fantasy game.

“The subscription model only works with the very top titles, the handful of international blockbusters,” Jennen says. “For everyone else, free-to-play makes a lot more sense. You have to keep barriers to entry low enough to build the critical mass you need.”

Critical mass is something both Gameforge and Bigpoint are struggling to achieve as the first wave of consolidation sweeps through the online gaming world. The two German firms have U.S. outlets and are acquisition-hungry. Bigpoint recently acquired Berlin-based Radon Labs, designers of the fantasy franchise “Drakensang” and Bigpoint CEO Heiko Hubertz has announced plans to buy up other development studios — German and international — in the coming months.

Gameforge recently bought a majority stake in publicly listed developer Frogster, maker of MMO hit “Runes of Magic” in a deal that values Frogster at $85 million. Jennen says the acquisition is just the beginning.

The real question is whether Bigpoint and Gameforge will themselves soon be bought out. Bigpoint is currently owned by NBC Universal’s Peacock Equity Fund (35%), U.K.-based GMT Communications (35%) and Bigpoint management (30%). Gameforge remains independent, with only a 20% minority stake held by equity group Accel.

But watch this space. Bigpoint is reportedly in buyout talks valuing the Hamburg company at between $300 million to $400 million. Investors are thought to be circling Gameforge.

“It will be hard for them to stay independent,” agrees Frank Sliwka. “You can be sure a lot of companies around the world have their eyes on them.”

In this expansion, we’re adding more features such as the daily Fancy Draw System, the weekly Trivia Contest, and the monthly Zodiac Arena games. Besides, the max level will be raised up from 70 to 90.

The Fancy Draw System is something like a small casino, players can pay gold to draw a card from 25 cards and get the reward shown on the other side of the card.

The Trivia Contest is a simulation of the exams in ancient China. Players need to pass 5 exams to get an honor of a Doctor and a shiny light around the feet.

Zodiac Arena is a battle among many teams. Players need to fight in the unit of team until there’s only one team left in the arena area.

Zodiac Online is a free-to-play MMORPG for all people at any age. The game is full of Chinese cultural elements, especially the 12 Zodiac Signs. Also it has colorful and cute graphics, which have attracted a lot of young girls. Unlike the battles in other real-time games, players in Zodiac don’t need to decide what to do in battles in a hurry, so even those who don’t have any experience on playing games can handle this game easily. It’s truly a game to relax and enjoy rather than rush to complete!

With this fantastic expansion, we’re pretty sure that our players are going to have another couple of sleepless nights.

Erebus is an isometric, action-packed MMORPG similar to classic PC Action-RPG titles. Players create their character using one of four starting classes, and unlock one of 18 specialized Master Classes as they level up. During their time in the game, players can battle the evil minions of Erebus — the god of Chaos — or challenge their fellow players with a variety of PvP options. Outspark finished the first phase of Closed Beta testing for the title in March.

“The first Closed Beta was a big success,” said Ben Berens, the Associate Producer of Erebus.“We kept it mostly in the Outspark community, but we still had thousands of people sign up to play, and the feedback they provided was invaluable. I think people who participated in the first beta are really going to like the changes we made and the new features being added for Closed Beta 2.”

Much of the feedback given by participants in the first Closed Beta will be utilized in Closed Beta 2. More quests will be present throughout the earlier levels, the leveling curve has been adjusted, the skill system has been altered to be more accessible to players, and a new tutorial has been implemented. The biggest addition for Closed Beta 2, though, is the inclusion of Guild vs. Guild warfare.

Other features being added to Erebus for the Beta include:

• An increase of the level cap (to level 50)

• Dueling System

• 3 new PvP maps (Guild Warfare, the Dueling Map, and the Arena)

• 3 new instance dungeons

• Dozens of new monsters, including elite and special types

• And much more!

Age of two moons

Two moons gleamed brightly over mythical land of Neha . Legend said that the moons bless Neha by sending its envoys to deliver great knowledge.

The rich and fertile lands of Neha were divided into East and West by Great Fissure before time of recording. Separated by a strong ocean current, two continents cultured two distinct civilizations yet their reverence for the moons remained the same.

Heavenly Devastation

As subtle as the Great Fissure once have been, a heavenly catastrophe has shattered Blue Moon, the smaller of two moons. It was an heavenly devastation. The event has changed ocean currents of Neha unveiling a vast sunken territory that bridged the East and the West. And as legend of two moons foretold, moon people appeared in Neha.

People argued whether such heavenly devastation was a blessing or a curse, for the legend was slightly mistaken. Moon people were not envoys of heaven, but citizens of Babylon, a highly developed civilization of Blue Moon. The West eager to explore the new land quickly declared it as a blessing. The East advanced in astrology and magic was sure that it was an ill omen and kept to their traditions.

Renaissance

Nonetheless of either argument, both civilizations were determined to explore the new territory. Two worlds were united and two continents joined for the first time in thousands of years.

New lands were to be explored and conquered. New knowledge were to be discovered and exploited.
