Did you miss out on the fabulous Boss Party Voyage Century held last time? Do you still long to get your hands on some of the advanced gear dropped by our Bosses? To satisfy players’ cravings, Voyage Century will be holding the Boss Feast event; to give them the opportunity to obtain lots of advanced gear.

Event Rules:
Enter the Athens Church between 9:30am and 10:00am April 26th, where the GM is waiting to teleport you to the appointed area. If players don’t manage to arrive at the church on time, then their qualification will be cancelled. Players should gather at the Arena. Also it should be noted that the PvP function will be unavailable for the duration of the event.

The Arena will become over-run by vicious monsters and it is up to the players, singly or as part of a team, to defeat them all. The event will last for 1 hour only, every few minutes new and more fearsome monsters will appear. Should a player die during the battle then they will be teleported out of the Arena and can not re-enter it. So it is vital that players keep a close eye on their HP, the longer they can survive, the greater their rewards! The monsters hail mainly from instances in the new version, and they are very strong, so team work may be necessary.

One of the most sought after skills in Wonderland Online (http://wl.igg.com/main.php) is the Goddess Skill which is dazzling and destructive. However, it’s not so easy to learn as it is only suited to the very bravest and most honest character!

1. Enter the mysterious Palace
Outside Holy Village, there is the beautiful waterfall which players may pass through; it leads to a mysterious palace where the Goddess statue stands sadly. Players may collect the Elf’s Tear and the Mysterious Crystal from this statue.

2. Visit the Goddess Melhilis in Korea
Leaving the waterfall, players head over to the house in the Inchon Vendor and talk with Cha Park Jeong to receive the quest. He will tell them where they must go to get the Crystal Ball. Then pass through the Five Star Trap all the way to the end where they will meet the second Goddess Statue. By clicking on the statue players can activate the quest. To complete it they must defeat 8 bats and then exchange 5 stars for the Goddess Skill with the Goddess.

Different classes will learn different skills:
Earth: Blockage, a skill which blocks the target’s assistant ATK for 1 round

Water: Shrink, a skill which shrinks the target and deduces their ATK by 40%. The effect will last for 3 rounds.

Fire: Hot Fire Attack, a skill which cause 3 times the original damage to the target. The effect will last for 2 rounds.

Wind: Vanish, a skill which hides the player’s body so the enemy cannot use any skill (except for manna attack to attack a single target) on the caster. The effect will last for 2 rounds.

3. Go to Cairo!
Players should then make a pilgrimage to Cairo along the river and visit the Goddess Erina. There she will give Sky Jade to only the bravest and strongest players.

4. Final Trial in Lion Isle
Players must use the Sky Jade to hit the Saint Lion, so that it will open the door. If the player has successfully passed the trail then the Goddess Valkyrie will teach players Goddess Skill-2; but at a cost of 7 stars.

Different classes have different skills:
Earth: Gaea’s Guard, a skill which enhances the defense of the team but costs 1 Ground Glaze.

Water: Najas’s Memory, a skill which heals all the members in the team but costs 1 Water Glaze.

Fire: Zavrl’s Wing, an AOE skill which causes damage to many different targets but costs 1 Fire Glaze.

Wind: Gephil’s Mutter, a skill which improves all of the team members’ agility but costs 1 Wind Glaze.

The Goddess Skill-2 is a truly powerful skill that can be used on many targets so it’s almost essential during PK. However it costs glazes to cast. Players may collect glazes by defeating monsters along their way.

Ultimate Rivalry Between Divergent Forces to be Decided…With Balls

SouthPeak Games announced today that Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball for Wii has gone gold.

“Finally, friends will be able to choose their sides in this age old rivalry and face off to decide who is truly the superior force,” said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing for SouthPeak Games. “I’m confident everyone that plays will realize that pirates rule the world. Anyone who says otherwise gets a ball in the face.”

Up to four friends can compete against one another as either pirates, ninjas, or as members of other iconic teams such as robots and zombies, each with their own unique techniques and abilities. Every match in Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball is completely customizable, allowing competitors to decide on everything from the arena you play in to game rules. In addition, Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball features a deep, single player story mode, and challenge modes to keep players in top ball slinging shape.

“Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball plays great thanks to the Wii controls, and intensifies rivalries because the throwing motions make it feel like you’re whipping balls at each other. I’m surprised such a classic playground game hasn’t been done on Wii before,” said Chris Stockman, Studio Director of Blazing Lizard. “I’m also surprised anyone would choose pirates over the mystical power of ninjas. Fools such as these are easily defeated.”

Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball will be shipping to stores on May 12.

Some new screens for you from SouthPeak’s upcoming Roogoo titles – Roogoo Twisted Towers for Wii and Roogoo Attack! for DS. Both versions will be shipping this June.
