Spellborn @ RPC Münster!
TUESDAY, 29TH OF APRIL 2008 :: POSTED BY BANSHEE :: 17 COMMENTS
The RPC (Role-Play Convention) made a big step forward since the last year, particularly on Saturday the convention was very crowed and well attended. On Sunday, due to the sunny weather, most of the visitors were outside at the Medieval Fair, enjoying some RP-battles as well as some music provided by really cool German bands (excellent German beer was flowing).
The inventive concept of bringing together different aspects of role-playing, like Trading Card, LARP, Table Top and Computer games is pretty successful. This mixture of great costumes, the medieval fair, the armoury booths and of course computer and videogames received a great feedback from the visitors as well as the exhibitors.
The Chronicles of Spellborn has been very well welcomed and spawned lots of interest during RPC.
We had six Ultraforce-Design Computers, on which the game was running the Beta. Players enjoyed Character creation and combat system a lot, these 2 features receiving a great feedback. Graphics and Atmosphere were very praised as well. People couldn’t believe the Unreal Engine 2.5 could deliver such amazing sceneries.
In comparison with some other MMORPGS already (or soon) released, the visitors particularly loved the shooter based combat system and how fast-paced and real-time it was.
In conclusion, it was a very successful Convention for Spellborn.To get some more impressions, make sure to check the pictures in the forum thread linked below!

New TCoS Beta Video: A fine day in Midlands!
WEDNESDAY, 23RD OF APRIL 2008 :: POSTED BY BANSHEE :: 37 COMMENTS
Some time ago, you had the chance to meet Raznilof, the powerful Runemage, during one of his first adventures in the world of The Chronicles of Spellborn.
Today, he's back in business, being higher-level and he's setting foot in the Midlands, zone located on the Parliament Shard. In this video, you'll get some information on the PeP System (Personal Experience Point), which is different from the Fame, used for leveling up.
PeP is gained through combat (PvE) and grant permanent buffs to your character (making it faster, stronger and more resistant), providing you don't die.
You can download the video in the link below!

TCoS Project Update!
THURSDAY, 10TH OF APRIL 2008 :: POSTED BY *MIRAGE* :: 113 COMMENTS
Hello Community members !
Today, we would like to share an important update with you about The Chronicles of Spellborn.
After we attended the GDC in San Francisco, TCoS and Frogster have been in contact with different parties regarding the distribution of Spellborn in the USA.
Recently, one major MMOG publisher has signed a letter of intent as a potential partner for the release of The Chronicles of Spellborn in the USA, assuming a time of six months so that Spellborn can be successfully introduced to the US public.
Frogster and we, TCoS Devs, decided to use this extra time to improve our server architecture as well as apply further polish and balancing.
Thanks to this additional development time, we will make sure that the flow of the gameplay and the performance correspond to the high quality expectations for the game even with high numbers of players.
The launch of Spellborn is now estimated to take place in Autumn 2008, simultaneously in Europe and in the USA.
Our current Beta planning remains the same, and our tester pool has been increased by one hundred community members recently, ramping up towards bigger numbers as more testing needs arise.
To conclude, we will make sure to reveal the USA partner as soon as a final deal is signed, but in the meantime, keep on being active and helpful to the community, for it’s your best chance to participate in the Beta test and make Spellborn an even better game!
For the Oracle !

New TCoS Dev Journal: The Sound of Shorath Mesa
THURSDAY, 3RD OF APRIL 2008 :: POSTED BY BANSHEE :: 31 COMMENTS
Today's Dev Journal once again focuses on TCoS sound. This time Matthew Florianz chose to tell you more about the sound of Shorath Mesa - the new area we showed in the previous Dev Journals. In addition to the story, this journal features the sound itself as well!
It is called the Shrine of Currents and will no doubt play a role in questing. Since I assume the player will not spend a whole lot of time around it, I chose to make an ambience that is a bit more musical and abstract than those ambiences found in regular places. As a sort of general rule, places which the players visits more often, sound more natural than those that are rare or unique. A forest will almost always sound like a forest, but for a place like this it is possible to creating something a bit more unexpected.
Enjoy the story and the sound!
