Bounty Bay Online – Beyond the Horizon available free of charge right now

November 28th, 2009 Desktop General

There’s much more to be found beyond the horizon

Frogster has successfully completed the launch of the biggest ever expansion for its seafaring online role play game Bounty Bay Online. With the new add-on ‘Beyond the Horizon’ players can now take the route around Cape Horn and circumnavigate the whole of the historical seafarer world for the first time. The free expansion will take advanced players to the new continent of South America where the legendary Maya civilisation awaits discovery with its impressive stepped pyramids, demanding quest lines and a whole new instance. From the ‘Magellan Supply Station’ in the south to the snow-covered ‘Seward’ in the far north, six new cities and harbours in South and North America await traders, seafarers and adventurers. Just like its predecessors, ‘Beyond the Horizon’ is available free of charge. The complete new version and the update are now available on the official website www.bountybayonline.com.

Bounty Bay Online Beyond the Horizon

With the release of ‘Beyond the Horizon’, Bounty Bay Online now boasts five unique character classes on offer. While players only practised professions and skills so far, they can now choose the life of a Treasure Hunter, Armed Businessman, Imperial Guardian, Military Officer or a Caribbean Pirate. Each of the classes is defined by its special abilities which can be expanded in a comprehensive skills tree. After conquering high level instances or gaining a victory in PvP, an individual powerful equipment set beckons to all character classes. With the new expansion, a beginner-friendly tutorial quest series guides players gently into the new class system and through all of the basic game functions. New graphical dialogue boxes, an interactive quest guide as well as a new window for PvP events and world announcements mean that playing gets considerably more user-friendly.

‘Beyond the Horizon’ supplements Bounty Bay Online further with an expanded active pet system. Four new companions in arms called Hell Wolf, Ice Fairy, Shadow Reaper and Wild Bull, not only feature previous values such as loyalty, health, experience or pet levels, but new additional attributes such as ‘Damage Bonus’ and ‘Critical Strike’. In the pet interface players can supply the four newcomers with special equipment or exclusive skills. Thanks to their own inventories, the new companions can also offer additional storage space for the main character.

The historical seafarer world is being further enriched with a new Merchant Alliance system. In ‘Beyond the Horizon’ not just individual players, but also entire fleets or guilds can now join different alliances such as the Iberian or Netherlands Merchant Alliance. With special quest series for everyone of these, there are some quite exceptional rewards on offer. Further highlights of the add-on are a new tournament system, a new marriage system, a new land and a new sea combat arena, some expanded instances and over 40 new main quests. What’s more in ‘Beyond the Horizon’, players can measure themselves in various new ranking systems, such as a guild ranking, a land combat ranking, a millionaires’ ranking, or a fisherman’s ranking.

A micro site http://bountybayonline.com/bth/en explains all new features of the expansion in detail.

The official website has a trailer ready and waiting: http://www.bountybayonline.de/en/videos,id11,bbo_trailer_beyond_horizon.html

Rogue Warrior available today in Europe

November 27th, 2009 Desktop General

Rogue Warrior™ is now available at retail stores across Europe for the Xbox 360® video game entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows.

Rogue Warrior

Rogue Warrior, a character-driven first-person shooter featuring real-life American Navy Seal Richard “Demo Dick” Marcinko, offers an action-packed single-player campaign as well as intense multiplayer combat.

Marcinko’s defiant, crude, and sometimes ruthless behaviour has earned him both glory and infamy in the history books. Take on his explosive nature and engage in black ops and go against the rules of conventional warfare to get the job done! With more than 25 uniquely brutal kill moves, you’ll need to do whatever it takes to take out the enemy. No trick is too dirty as you maintain the element of surprise whenever possible – find and kill the enemy before they find you.

Playing as “Demo Dick”, whose in-game character is voiced by Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke, go behind the iron curtain and disrupt a suspected North Korean ballistic missile program. Soon into the mission, you uncover a conspiracy that could turn the tides of the Cold War in the communists’ favour. You must then take matters into your own hands as you enter into the bowels of the USSR to destroy a technology that could change the balance of geopolitical power, leaving a trail of destruction in your wake!
