Alganon Newsletter - April 2015

Greetings from the QOL dev team!

It has been quite a while since our last newsletter and we wanted to take a moment to update all of you on the world of Alganon and our march into to the future. Before we do, we wanted to give a heart-felt thank you to all the players that have stuck with us over the years.  We are a small but dedicated team, and while fixes don't always come as fast as we would like we are extremely determined to give you the very best that Alganon has to offer.  So again, thank you for taking this journey with us!

Alright, let's get to it!

Combat Fixes

Since the launch of the Rise of the Ourobani expansion we have seen many cases of combat issues, ranging from enemies sliding around to not being able to apply or take damage at all.  These issues were spread across the game world and overall left combat feeling flat for expansion and core players alike.  We are happy to report that with the help of many bug reports from our dedicated player base we have finally fixed the root of the problem and combat is again working correctly!!  NPCs and enemies will again behave as intended, be they friend or foe.  For more details on these fixes, visit the patch notes on the forum here!


The World of Alganon - Coming Soon to Steam!

Along with the extensive combat and bug fixes we have also been busy re-tooling the game to share the world of Alganon with even more players.  With this in mind, we are happy to announce that Alganon will soon be coming to Steam! The game will still be F2P with the in-game cash shop, but you can still purchase the Rise Of The Ourobani expansion if you want to.

This is an exciting step for Alganon and we look forward to the new and existing players that will take advantage of it.  We will release more information when we get closer to the release, so stay tuned!

By the time you read this, the Coming Soon store page should be live on Steam.

Being released on Steam, also means that you will be able to login using either a new Steam account or your existing Alganon account. There are no plans to migrate existing Alganon accounts to Steam.


Rise of the Ourobani Expansion

The Rise of the Ourobani expansion brought about a great change in the world of Alganon.  The Ourobani began their long-planned political offensive on the Asharr and Kujix, playing off of the strengths and weaknesses of each with their ever-shifting alliances.  Their ultimate goal cannot be guessed, but they are making no secret of their attempts to both help and hinder the races in turn.  To this end they shut down the Portal system, which prompted the other races to create flying mount routes throughout the continents.  Players of all races are now able to visit the continent of Aeon, the Ourobani's homeland, in search of new treasures and the creatures that guard them.  It has never been a better time to dive back into Alganon!!

  • A brand new playable race, the Ourobani
  • A new, unique leveling experience in the new continent of Aeon
  • A new combat companion class playable by all races... The Warden
  • Flying mounts in Alganon: See the lands as never before as you ride your mount through the skies!

  • New quests, items and rewards!

About Alganon

Alganon is a fantasy-based MMORPG that allows thousands of people to play together in a virtual world that features a rich history dominated by commanding deities, powerful weapons and armor, deadly magic, epic quests, ancient places to discover, the utilization of detailed tradeskills, and more. Designed from scratch and based in a uniquely created world, the goal in designing Alganon is to provide "Simple Gameplay with Unlimited Growth in a massive world of immersion and interaction."

Part of achieving this goal was to create a game that is easy for anyone to play, but also to build the game so that even the most skilled and hardcore gamer has the potential to grow beyond their expectations. A world where the casual and hardcore gamer alike can adventure, grow, and share their accomplishments with each other.

Our development team at Quest Online have designed everything from the ground up, tailored to feedback from the community about what you want to see in an MMO.

We have implemented a system where your character evolves even when you aren't playing.
