Dreamland Online: The Guild Advantage
Just like clubs in real life, guilds in Dreamland Online bring players together to share their experiences. Whether they gather for companionship, for trade, for adventure, or for questing, it’s easy to get a guild up and running. To create your own guild, you must be at least Level 20 and have 200,000 Gold. When you’re ready, find the guild creation NPC located in Paddy Village. Click on “Create a Guild” and you’re all set! After that, you can visit the same NPC anytime and click on “Enter the Guild’s Territory” to access additional guild options and benefits.
You can even improve the guild by leveling it up. As you do so, more guild constructs can be upgraded, more members can be recruited, and more exciting guild quests with equally exciting rewards will be available. Even better, you can gain access to the EXP Tree, which grants significant amounts of EXP to guild members.
There are several different guild constructs: the Guild Beacon, Quest House, Guild Tree, Guild Shop, and Guild Bank. Each grants unique bonuses that improve as the construct is upgraded to higher levels. Read more
GodsWar Online: New Trojan Arena PvP Blurs Faction Lines
In Greek mythology MMORPG GodsWar Online, players can choose between two playable factions. Sparta and Athens are hostile toward each other, giving those on both sides plenty of opportunities to face each other in combat. If they want to engage in PvP against players from the same faction, however, combatants may have been feeling like they were being given the cold shoulder. That will soon change soon with the upcoming introduction of a new arena that promises to turn up the heat. For those who can never get enough PvP action, here’s a preview of the new Trojan Arena.
The Trojan Arena
The Trojan Arena is specially designed for PvP. There are no computer-controlled enemies in the arena. As a result, players can focus on PvP combat without worrying about being attacked by NPCs. To enter the Trojan Arena, players will need to speak with a special NPC. Once inside, they will find a heart-shaped, closed area in the middle part of the arena where players can fight against each other. NPC physicians and vendors offer their services to either fully restore dead player characters after resurrection or sell a variety of potions for combatants to use.
Free PvP Style Gives Players More Choices
There are no rigid limitations on combat in the Trojan Arena. When players are ready, they simply enter the arena and challenge anyone except their teammates to a duel. The choice is up to the players whether they want to fight one-on-one, solo against multiple opponents, join a group scuffle.
More Features Planned
At first, the Trojan Arena will focus on offering players fun, competitive combat against players from the same faction, but the GodsWar Online team expects to add more features in the future. For example, they may give players more areas to choose from, exclusive rewards, or other entertaining options.
Runes of Magic: Treasures of the desert
The latest Runes of Magic update is available now
Publisher Frogster today released „Treasures of the Desert‟ a new content update to its popular online RPG Runes of Magic. The update adds a new region, the Limo Desert, and a new instance, Kawak‟s Tomb. Gamers are now able to power up characters to level 62 and trade diamonds with a special NPC.
After extensive testing, Frogster has decided to reinstate the option to let Runes of Magic players trade gold for diamonds. The free fantasy online RPG is the only game in the Free2Play segment where players can use the in-game currency to trade for items purchased from the in-game shop. This feature was reintroduced after feedback from the community.
The public battle, the „Yasheedee Catastrophe‟, is also available across all Runes of Magic servers. To prevail in this legendary battle, players have to conquer aggressive foes. In the first phase of the multifaceted encounter, players must use special ropes to capture a horde of nasty worm-like creatures. The second phase challenges players to put as many Resonance Stones as possible in the right place. The more stones they place, the easier it is in the third and fourth phases, where the wicked „Hardskin Yasheedees‟ and the formidable „Crimson Devourer‟, an exceptionally tough boss, await.
A trailer showing the action-packed Limo Desert together with the dangerous Kawak‟s Tomb is also available. The region‟s breathtaking landscapes reveal magnificent buildings and Middle Eastern oases. But caution is strongly advised – conflict has been brewing among the local tribes for centuries, and powerful creatures and wild beasts are preparing for battle. Who will carry the day?

When filling out the remaining 2 slots, good damage dealers are recommended. Read more
