GodsWar Online: New Territories Preview

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

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.

From the “My Wallet Hurts” department: Player pays $330,000 USD for Planet Calypso Virtual Space Station

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
World record for Most Expensive Virtual Object is smashed
First Planet Company, developer and publisher of the largest real cash economy MMORPG, announced today the results of the public auction of the Crystal Palace Space Station. The winning bidder acquired the property for a record-breaking $330,000.00 USD. The previous record was confirmed in the Guinness World Records book in 2008. It featured another piece of property in the Planet Calypso game bought for $100,000 USD as “The Most Expensive Virtual Object.”

“This is a stunning investment opportunity, and I have complete faith I will recover what I spent relatively quickly,” said Erik Novak, the winner of the Crystal Palace auction. “To say Planet Calypso has changed my life would be an understatement. I have even found the love of my life in the game, and now we live together in real life. I feel very confident about purchasing the Crystal Palace Space Station as I have already invested years of time, dedication, work, hope and love. All of those things have already paid off more than I could have ever imagined. With the new game engine, new features and almost ten years of experience Planet Calypso is one of the few safe investments in this economy.”

This auction was for Crystal Palace, an extremely popular hunting destination that is in orbit around Planet Calypso. It will now be privately operated by Erik Novak, the person behind the “Buzz Erik Lightyear” avatar. This is the third major property opportunity offered on Planet Calypso. The first auction, for Treasure Island, took place in 2004 and sold for $26,500 USD. Australian gamer, David “Deathifier” Storey recouped his full investment within 12 months and has continued to make a profit. The second, and much larger, auction took place in 2005 when American gamer Jon “NEVERDIE” Jacobs bought a Virtual Space Resort for an unheard of $100,000 USD. Due to his virtual nightclub and the profits obtained from mining/hunting rights and property sales on the resort, Mr. Jacob’s fortune was valued at $1.5 million USD in 2006. Operating profitably from day one the Club NEVERDIE Resort brought in over $50,000 USD in mining/hunting rights alone in its first five months.

First Planet Company is the developer and publisher of Planet Calypso, the largest real cash economy MMORPG in the world. Players have the ability to participate in a unique virtual economy where they only pay for the game when they play.
