Sword of the New World: Echoes of an Empire - Volume II

[Hoellwarth]

[IMGTEXT="http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/9862/swordofthenewworldgranahw4.jpg"]Con la consueta manutenzione settimanale dei server, i tecnici della K2 e della IMC Games stanno lavorando per l'implementazione dell'agognata patch 3.4, seconda e ultima dell'espansione Echoes of an Empire di Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.[/IMGTEXT]Sembra che alla K2 stiano mantenendo fede a tutti gli impegni presi in questi primi mesi del 2010, essendo in perfetto orario sulla loro tabella di marcia. Con questa patch i giocatori potranno usufruire di nuove quest (alcune per facilitare maggiormente l'exp fino agli alti livelli), nuove armi (le Trump Weapons), nuovi UPC (Ania ed Hellena - quest'ultima preannuncia la prossima espansione, "The Masquerade"). È stato aggiunto inoltre un nuovo high level raid, Sekhmet (boss di Fire Isle). Insomma, dopo un lunghissimo periodo di stasi (e stallo, lasciatemelo dire), questo gioco sta ritornando a crescere, e a equipararsi alle altre versioni rilasciate negli altri paesi.

Nar’s female counter-part and protector of El Dorado, Ania’s story is finally revealed. Speak with her in El Dorado help her protect the thing most dear to her.
