Birthday preperations

Birthday Preperations!
Has Anyone Seen Artix?
Hi guys!

Just a couple of quick notes...

The Rep has been removed from the Ryoku 1 on 1 fight. Some hackers were using it asn an exploit for easy reputation gain so, as of now, the only way to get Yokai rep is thrugh the 3v3 fights.

A lot of you have been writing to us and telling us how concerned you are about hackers, cheaters and scammers. I just wanted to let you know that recently we have made a few huge stides in protecting AQW, and you from these people.

Fighting hackers, scammers and people who would try and take advantage of AE's generally good natured attitude toward the world does take a lot of our time. They really ruin the fun for everyone and their actions can actually hurt the game. and We really care about our games and the people who decide to play them, so we will never quit fighting the never-ending battle.

Birthday Stuff!
We're REALLY busy preparing battleOn for AQW's 1 YEAR BIRTHDAY! That means that all of you founders who bought your 1 year membership on October 10th of last year are about to have your memberships expire. It's been a great year, and it started with you guys. Thanks for your faith in us (it takes a lot to buy an untested game.. especially from us) and thanks for growing with us. I really hope you have enjoyed the last year as much as we have and we hope that you decide to come back for another year.

Speaking of the birthday, we've got a little party planned and if you missed out on being a AQW FOUNDER, you don't want to miss out on being a 1ST UPHOLDER!

Here's a little question for you guys. Which of the Yokai Tournament Fighter armors would you like to see most in the game for you to wear? Let us know of the Forums so we can try to get them in the game for you in this weekend's Yokai Tournament Shop and the Rep shop in Akiba.

Artix: Missing?
Has anyone seen Artix? He never showed up at the lab today. He did mention something about getting a letter asking for his help with a huge undead monster, but he should have taken care of what a while ago.

I'm starting to worry.

I'm sure he's fine. He'll probably show up tonight with a great story about killing dead things. Come to think of it... that's how most of his stories start. And end.

FaceBook & Twitter
I'm pretty active on both Facebook and Twitter. Having a phone that is smarter than I am helps. Many of you already know my facebook and twitter accounts but for those who don't... I try to post pictures and fun facts about upcoming releases, but usually it's just random stuff that comes into my head.

More Payment Options
Oh yeah, SMS Cell Phone payments now work in Singapore and South Africa for AQW. Do you live elsewhere? We're working on it!

AQWorld's Birthday Party! 2009

AQWorld's Birthday Party!
Cake, Clowns, Ponies, DOOM and Ice Cream
Can you believe we are only two weeks away from the biggest party of the year? AdventureQuest Worlds is turning 1 year old -- and you are invited to the main event. It may be AQW's birthday, but YOU are the one getting presents. As for the special event, you are probably expecting something completely crazy, insane, twisted, unbelievable or bizarre -- but do not worry. We ASSURE you it will be a PERFECTLY NORMAL, simple, friendly party*. Yup, nothing out of the usual at all. Seriously**!

Oooh, I just got a letter saying a new undead monster has been spotted. I am going to check it out then write you first thing tomorrow morning to tell you about it!

* Normal? Since when have you ever done anything normal?
** Oh boy... what are you guys up to? Normally you throw some sort of undead invasion where millions of undead attack the town of Battleon. That's it right? Hah! You are going to have an undead army attack Battleon. I knew it! That is why you are going to check out that undead monster in the next paragraph. 100 gold says I am right! ... am I right? Artix ?...am I? Alright, we will find out in your post tomorrow. BET I'M RIGHT!

Oooh... someone just got the cold shoulder!

For centuries, the town of Akiba has been a thriving city known for crafting some of the most amazing items. Two brand-new shops are finally open to everyone in Akiba! (more shops will be released, but right now everyone is at the tournament!) On the West side of town, you will find the Ninja Dojo and Cosplay Superstore, overflowing with Akiba-Attire!

New Yokai-Isle-Style House

Legendary Hanzamune Sword
Great prizes and even greater adventures are just waiting to be uncovered on Yokai Isle, including the legendary Hanzamune Sword… but, uhhhh, what exactly is that? Crafted in the 16th century by the legendary weapon smith Hanzamune, this ancient katana has been passed down throughout generations. Although it may be rusted and tarnished, the blade is still as sharp as though it were forged yesterday. Along with immortal fame, the Hanzamune Sword will be awarded to the Champion of the DragonKoi Tournament! But what do they expect you to do with this rusted katana if you actually won?

Zorkbak goes to con

Zorbak goes to Con Photos
... well, it is more of a video really!

The official Zorbak goes to Con site has been updated. Artix made a video slide show for you showing off some of Zorbak's favorite.... and, erm... not so favorite photos. Check back later as artix is posting his full review of DragonCon 2009 later todayon Friday! (Microsoft Vista Auto-update ate his homework!)

This week in AdventureQuest Worlds... It was not long ago two meteors were on a collision course with our town of Battleon. In a historic event, the combined magic of every mage in our world teleported the entire town to the safety of GreenGuard forest! But... did anyone look UNDER our landing spot? What dangers, dungeons and creatures did we land our town on top of!? Find out this Friday.... secret passages will be opening around town! (Rumor has it there is a secret underground lab somewhere down there too.)

Meanwhile, as we approach the 1st Birthday of AdventureQuest Worlds (MOGLOWEEN!!!), we are working rapidly on Stats and PvP that will take us version 1.0! We will need your help testing on the soon to open "Public Test Server". Shhhh *whispers* and an inside secret just between us... The next brand new area is in the far, far, far east. Inspired by my recent real-life adventure, it will be a Japanese themed zone. Overflowing with Yokai, Ninja, Samurai, super cute NPCs, a beautiful story based on real legends, and tons of references to your favorite anime and manga series (Maybe even a few you have not heard of yet) it will be the craziest zone we have ever made. Oh, if the rumors of the next Chaos Lord are true, *gulps*, then we are all going to need to get a lot stronger just to face his minions.

The ae team back from Dragoncon 09!

With over 12 gigabytes of photos and video
WOW! We just got back from the very inspiring DragonCon 2009 convention. We ran an official AQWorlds panel which was awesome! We were very honored that the room was packed with incredible players. A few of them traveled unbelievable distances to come be with us. Thank you! Some amazing players even came dressed as their favorite AE characters!

Words cannot describe how the team felt we when saw this...

If you could not be there do not worry! We showed ALL of the screenies submission in a slideshow during our panel (you got some laughs and cheers!) ALSO........ oh yes, Zorbak ran around and got his picture taken with people in costume at the 45,000 person convention. New theme this year... it will be called "Zorbak goes to dies at Con" -- because everyone was trying to eat him, disintigrate him, blow him up, or decapitate him with lightsabers! We have.. oh.. just... um.. a few thousand photos to sort through and we will post the best for you ASAP!

Hey Escherion... is that a Frog in your voice?

This post was just a teaser.... I am going to do a full write up of the craziness that Cysero, Safiria, Galanoth, the rest of the team and myself got ourselves into at DragonCon along with bonus stories like the impromtu Twitter contest! Meanwhile, here at the lab we just realized it is Tuesdsay!!!!!!!! What do you want for a release this week?

P.S. It is good to be home, WE MISSED YOU!

Good/Evil Rep Shops

At last, the Good and Evil Reputation shops have been opened! You will find a LOT of member-only items in these shops but there are also a fair number of non-member items, such as the Platimun Knight armor in King Alteon's good rep shop , and the Shadow Lich armor in Gravelyn's evil rep shop. And every single item in both shops can be bought with gold! Also, the boss battle with Vath and Stalagbite is open to ALL players, this conculdes the Dwarfhold Quest chain, as another of Drakath's Lords of Chaos falls to the heroes of Lore.

Below, Items from the Good and Bad rep shops
