The upcoming version update is scheduled to take place in late February. A new form of Conflict, as well as an additional area in each of the regions of Dynamis, Temenos, and Apollyon will become accessible to the adventuring population. And don't forget the usual plethora of new quests and improvements to all aspects of the game.

The previously announced Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion disc and the Xbox 360 Beta Test are both progressing on schedule. Keep an eye out for the latest developments!

i hope they screw up and crash the servers.























permanetly

Screw the clamming. I want MPK back. Well I hope the new Conflict PVP game is interesting. Probably CTF or something lame like that. I would rather have something be every man for himself instead of having sides. A dueling option like in WoW would be hot as well. Everyone flag PvP in Dragon's Aery ftw. We can all pvp over Fafhogg spawn. Losers get to HP and the winners get to claim.

I want MPK back.

wasnt i called a "fag who likes to mpk",i guess im just not liked /emotear
but yeah i would like MPK back,sucks to see RMT get LoO and we not be able to do nothing,also suckss to see other BSt take your camp :/ i wish theyd put MPK back ; ;

Ulgokiem sounds like the name of an anal STD. Why anyone even listens to that douche bag is beyond me.

i love how half of this thread is about racism in america and the other half is pictures of kittens

meh, Eternus means he wants it back for inside the LS and RMT. I mean, I think I speak for the whole LS when I say this, Ilm is a different person now, and I am scared of what might happen. And fuck, Kaylia quit (even just temp)....without MPK those two are bored, and it scares me

Take a look at the exciting new content scheduled for the upcoming version update.

- The Sequel to "Storms of Fate"

The quest "Storms of Fate," which brought players into direct conflict with the mighty Bahamut, was introduced in the December 2005 version update. This February, prepare for the next chapter in this epic story with a new quest to challenge the most powerful of adventurers.

*The Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia expansion discs must be installed and registered in order to undertake this quest. Certain storyline progression in both expansion discs is also required.

- Prime Avatar Battles

Up until now, there have been other quests that allowed players to test themselves in battle against the prime avatars. In this new quest, however, the protectors of the protocrystals will be stronger than ever before, requiring adventurers to rethink old strategies.

This quest will allow a maximum of 18 people to take the field against these more powerful manifestations of the avatars.

Quests that hint at adventures to come, as well as many other additions, await you in the February version update.
