IGG’s new mystical fantasy title, Altis Gates (http://ag.igg.com), recently completed its Closed Beta and is now gearing up for the Open Beta. In preparation for the OB, the Altis Gates team has organized a naming event that will let players create and then vote for their favorite names for the Altis Gates OB Realm and Server.

After gathering and then putting all the entries through a rigorous process of elimination, the AG team has finally managed to narrow it down 8 Realm and Server names that stood out from the rest.

Now, it wouldn’t be much fun if the players weren’t able to get their two cents in, so they will be holding a vote to see what players think. The vote will start on February 12th at 12:00am EST (GMT-5) and will last until 9:00pm on February 21st to determine which name is the best. During the vote, players can cast their votes for the name of their choice. At the end of the event, creator of the Realm and Server names combination will win a cool mount. This mount will be awarded to the winners during the Open Beta itself.

The Altis Gates team always believes in working with players to take game to the next level. This is yet another opportunity where players can be directly involved in decision making process.

You can find out more about this event on the event page http://ag.igg.com/event/name/.

The Gauntlet, IGG’s brand new Freesky Online (http://fo.igg.com) server, will soon be up with tons of new content at the end of the month. The Gauntlet will offer FO players a much fairer battlefield to explore and challenge them while narrowing the gap between advanced players and those lagging behind.

The newly updated world of The Gauntlet is filled with magic and excitement. Players who never purchase items in the Item Mall will find it easier to compete than previously. The number of advanced items sold in the Item Mall will be extremely limited, so the gap between the most powerful and weakest players won’t be as wide. To survive in PVP, players will need to rely on ability and teamwork more than ever. With more competitive PVP, more players can enjoy that side of the game, even if they never thought they could keep up in the past.

The Gauntlet retains the classical gameplay features of other servers, but also adds a brand new operation model to the game that helps weaker players advance. On the new server, the number of times Treasure Boxes open for free has been increased, and the limited number of items sold in the Item Mall will cost much less than the ones on other servers. In addition, players can choose from 2 stunning architecture types. These changes enable FO players to pay less while leveling rapidly, making The Gauntlet a more balanced battlefield that will attract non-consumer players who want to join in the fun.

GodsWar Online will soon be releasing three new territories- Parnitha Port, Nemean Forest and Thermopylae. A lot of brand new quests, monsters and abominable bosses will also be added. Read the below article to get more ideas!

Parnitha Port

Accessible via Parnitha. The Port at Parnitha was so important to Athens’s economy that it drew envious eyes from the Spartans – not your typical astute businessmen to be sure. Playing more to their strengths, the Spartans did more than cast envious glares, they enlisted the aid of a corrupt priest to unleash a torrent of evil demons and spirits at the port. Not to be outdone, the Persians also got in on the fun by tasking dozens of scouts and spies to sabotage it. Athenian warriors, take up arms and defend this port at all costs! The map is for PvE, and is suitable for Level 80-110 players from the Athenian faction.

Nemean Forest

Accessible via Nemea. The forest used to be a trading hub of the league led by Sparta. But since then legions of monsters have taken up residence in the forest, making it frighteningly dangerous for anyone that doesn’t have horns, scales, or breathes fire. A Persian contingent was also sent to the area to try and take advantage of the situation, so take care when venturing into the dense underbrush. Spartan warriors, take up arms and defend this magical forest from the evil invaders! The Nemean Forest is for PvE, and is suitable for Level 80-110 players from the Spartan faction.

Thermopylae

Accessible via the Parnitha Port or the Nemean Forest. Historically, it was the site of the legendary Spartan last stand against the all-out onslaught of a determined Persian army bent on conquering Greece. Thermopylae also bore witness to a short lived alliance between Sparta and Athens in the face of a common and unrelenting threat, yet animosity between the two proud city-states never completely faded. The narrow territory is a haven for the most blood thirsty Level 110-120 players.
