A small update

I know I haven't posted lately, because of another project of mine, school (I have a lot of tests soon) and the forums. I apologize to that and want to redirect you to Dusk's journal for now. In two or three weeks, I might be able to post more frequently again.

Until then, make sure to check out all the five videos Dusk posted and cinderboy's blog for a skill list (yes, you heard right). Thanks for reading the blog !

Trailer and Screenshots

With Forsaken World's official announcement, a trailer and more screenshots have been released. You have to check them out, I am sure you will like the screenshots. I liked the ships especially =). But see for yourself:

Some Changes are being made

Some updates are being made to the blog. Since the teaser site contains a lot of information, the features and lore pages will disappear soon. I will update the classes section though. Don't forget to visit the teaser site and to sign up for closed beta (you instantly get a key you can redeem!).

Teaser Site!!!!

The Teaser site went live! Head over there this instant ;)!

Me being lazy...

Some new articles on the Chinese forums today. I am a bit lazy, so I will mostly only give you screenshots. Most of the articles focus on the player groups Forsaken World appeals to (which is, according to the developers, any age range and gender, because there is so much to do in Forsaken World) and the soul pk that you should already know about.

Another article focuses on the npcs. It seems npcs won't just be guys standing around in the landscape, but they actually play a role in the scheme of things. Npcs can also be of different races than the playable ones and those races also play an important role in the history of Forsaken World. (It may even be that Npcs of different races will react differently to the player because of their race). The other races npcs can be include Werewolves, Tree spirits, orcs, nagas (?), dragons...seeing them will certainly not get boring, it seems.

Also, another information. While I do see great potential in Forsaken World, I will be totally honest with you and tell you that customization is not as good as Perfect World's customization. You cannot modify the body. You are able to modify face, skincolour, hairstyle, haircolour. While I did look forward to making my totally unique character, I do think that it will still be possible through costumes and gear. So everyone who wants to play solely for customization is probably better off with Perfect World, but I can really tell you that Forsaken World is worth checking out ;)

And now for some screenshots:

 
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 

Check this out

Make sure to head over to AutumnalDusk's Forsaken Journal, there is a new video about character customization, pve, swimming, questing...it's worth checking out.

Also, ten votes on the poll so far =). I hope more people will take the time to vote (although I'm still undecided which class I should choose...sigh, it's always the same with me, this time though, I don't want to make thousands of alts, so I will have to decide sooner or later).

Well, if there are more news, I will make sure to let you know!

What to expect in March?

The new month has started now and with it, my hopes that we will soon hear and see more of Forsaken World. I don't know about you, but I am really looking forward to what is to come. I have tried so many games, both free to play and subscription based, that couldn't satisfy me and then, just per chance, I found some information on Forsaken World, read more about it, saw the screenshots and instantly thought *this is it*.

I know, never judge a game before you play it, no matter how awesome the features sound (or what kind of vision trailer they make -coughs Aion coughs-), but I am very optimistic this time. I have been waiting for years for some of the promised features and I won't miss my chance to finally find the game I have been waiting for. Well, if you feel the same, join the waiting game and I will make sure to dig up as many information as possible until we finally get our teaser site. And if the Chinese site is anything to do by, the site alone will look great ;).

Oh, and before I forget it, I mentioned Forsaken Journal's forum last time, without providing you with a link. So go there and get involved, it's never to early to meet some nice people, right?

And, since I have to admit that my last entries didn't actually give you any information, here some screenshots:

 
  
  
  
  

Better than nothing, right? ^_^
