Patchnotes im Detail:

Gigante Island

Come and relax on the beautiful beaches of Gigante Island. The ferry to Gigante Island can be found in the Port of Coimbra, waiting for new vacationers to come aboard. During your stay on the Island please take advantage of the hospitality by participating in one or more of the myriad games available.

The great Rock-Paper-Scissors Champion himself – Tiburon, is challenging all comers to take his crown by beating him at his own game. And to make it interesting, he is wagering Enchantment Chips! Or perhaps you are more interested in less risky games and will try your hand at Catching Cabybaras or Crushing Watermelons.

If blood is more to your style, enter the Battle Ring in Gigante Beach. The Battle Ring allows you to see just how good you are in a fight against mighty adversaries. Better bring out your best, because other families may just be watching YOU bleed. Prizes galore await the winners of these games, so play hard and play to win.

Bellem's Relic

Located on Fire Isle, Bellem's Relic is the name of the ruins (channel 1 only) where pioneers will find many new and haunting creatures. In order to gain entry you will need to acquire a Key of Bellem. And only within a specific time of the day will the key allow entry. Anything more specific about the ruins is still a mystery to be solved by the most courageous of pioneering families. There are rumored to be treasure chests with extremely rare items contained within, but these are tales told by the … not-quite-sane survivors.

New Events:

Andre's Ultimately Fabulous Competition

Andre's UFC Rules:

1. All families are considered enemies except for squad members. Faction members not in the squad are deemed enemies as well.
2. You cannot view another's family name or detailed information.
3. The ability to "Force Attack" is disabled during the Competition.
4. Hero Seals will be awarded to the winners of the competition which players can redeem for Fantazztic prizes!
5. At several points during the melee there is a chance for a Raid Boss to appear. Players will have to choose to either fight each other or fight the Boss. Choose wisely.
