As you can tell we're covering a lot of ground here, read on for a more detailed explanation of the topics above. Alganon Expansion Underway!With news so big we had to put this first! That's right, the first expansion pack for Alganon is currently under development, and will be coming soon! Read on to find out more about Alganon: Rise of the Ourobani! The world of Alganon is a battleground for the gods. The deities of the Kujix embrace change, conflict and knowledge, while the gods of the Asharr represent creation, fire and life. For centuries, the Kujix and Asharr have fought each other for dominance of Alganon, each side trying to outmaneuver each other in what has become known as the War of Conversion. But the balance of power, that has resulted in a stalemate for so long, has been broken. Ouroban, a god believed lost to the void, has returned and brought with him secret knowledge about the portal system that enables the people of Alganon to travel freely about their world. With this knowledge, Ouroban has the power to transform, or even destroy, Alganon. The Temple and The Spindle, monuments built in Ouroban's name on the volcanic mount Ateis'Tepi, are the key to his secret. But before Ouroban could harness their power, one of his followers revealed what he knew to both the Kujix and Asharr. Now, these bitter rivals have united to seize The Spindle, destroy Ouroban's followers, the Ourobani, and, if they can, take the power for themselves… Introducing Alganon: Rise of the Ourobani!Very soon the world of Alganon will be expanding and with it will come major change. As the Ourobani stake their claim to the continent of Aeon, the Asharr and Kujix have a new threat to contend with. Will they be friend or foe? Only time will tell, the gods themselves cannot say. Alganon: Rise of the Ourobani will have these features and lot's, lot's more!
We've created a section of the website just for the expansion which you can find here. Over the coming months we'll be adding more information about these, and all the other great features coming with the expansion pack. Be sure to check back often to get the latest scoop. Alganon: Rise of the Ourobani coming soon! Introducing PvP Keeps and World ControlThe War of Conversion continues to rage. To solidify his hold, Vaspar Truthseer has ordered four great keeps to be erected in strategic points throughout Kujix lands. The keeps are nearing completion and will be garrisoned with strong troops to defend Kujix interests. Word of the Kujix plan spread to the continent of Ardonya through the Asharr spy network. Seeing the advantage this would give the Kujix, Bredon Furyslayer ordered that great keeps be also built in the lands under control of the Asharr. While this will help each leader to maintain control over his lands, both of them know this to be a two-edged sword. Should an enemy capture a keep, they will be very difficult to displace. In fact, by allowing an enemy to capture his keeps places his own very life in peril, for an enemy holding a keep near a capital city could certainly attack the city itself. We're pleased to announce that the latest phase of our PvP rollout is complete. In this phase we've erected 8 keep structures throughout the lands of Alganon, four each on Ardonya and Harraja. These keeps are located in each zone which currently contains a set of 3 towers. An attacking army must take and control each of the 3 towers in order to unlock the keep for attack. By using various siege weapons an attacking army can break through the various gates within a keep, then attack and defeat the commander. Successfully accomplishing this goal before losing control of any one of the three towers will change the control of that zone over to the attackers. Each of the Keeps must be taken in order, from the furthest away to the closest to each Capital city. Once a faction controls all 8 keeps on Alganon they may then press their attack on their enemy's city. Killing Vaspar Truthseer or Bredon Furyslayer will net the victors the spoils of war! Epic PvP weapons, PvP accessories, Gold, Renown and Experience points. If either leader dies the world resets to its initial state, with each faction controlling 4 keeps. PvP Keeps Features
Look for the Keeps patch coming June 8th! PvP Free-for-All Weekend June 10-12To kick off the first weekend of the PvP Keeps patch we'll be holding a very special event. All the new siege weapons will be available from vendors located in each of the keep buildings at no cost. Load up, go attack the enemy and defend your keeps! Also, Battle Durability repair Tribute costs will be suspended the entire weekend. You'll still need to visit a repair vendor to keep your armor healthy, but the vendor will be working on our dime! We'll also have CSGMs on hand to transport players who haven't quite reached the level necessary to get to the furthest keeps in the world, so everyone can join in the fray. Since all players get a Battlefield Promotion to level 50 in any PvP area, all players level 10 to 50 will be able to participate in this epic weekend! Make plans now to join us for PvP Free-for-All Weekend! European Server coming in June!Our European fans have long been asking for it, and we're pleased that we've finally been able to answer your request. Centrally located in the heart of Amsterdam, our new Western European datacenter will host the first International server deployment of Alganon on a server named Aeon. Existing European Alganon players will be able to fully transfer their account to the Aeon server . We're excited to see Alganon grow in Western Europe, and we're glad to be able to provide this service. Help us spread the word across Europe and build our European fan base! Alganon is expanding to Europe this month! Adrios and Hokk Become Matma'elIn order to concentrate our U.S. player base and provide our players the best playing experience we're pleased to announce that on Wednesday, June 8th 2011 we'll be merging the populations of the Adrios and Hokk servers into a brand new realm named Matma'el. We've taken special care to ensure that when the merger is complete all characters will arrive on the new server completely intact. Due to the nature of unique first names in Alganon, please log in to the game immediately and check to make sure your account has no names flagged for change. Should one or more of your characters be flagged for a name change this means the name has collided with another character from the other server. It's important that you check your account should you want to keep your character names intact, the first player to do so will take precedence. Merging the servers will also free up hardware resources that we'll be using to open a European server for our loyal players in western Europe! We've made several changes to the game to support the merge of US servers. Most of these feature changes have also been highly requested by fans.
The servers will be merged at the same time we're rolling out the keeps patch. We can't stress enough that all players who want to ensure their names are not taken should log in to Alganon this week! Matma'el will be the new US server starting June 8th! Special Offers!Since you've already signed up for a MyAlganon account we've got some special offers for you. You will be able purchase these items in the Tribute Market!
