The headline of Asia-based online games operator IAHGames’ latest newsletter says it all, “Dragonica is finally here!” At present, I’m trying to register for a closed beta test key with the online games giant that has in recent years brought us great titles such as Granado Espada (that’s Sword of the New World to Western folk).
So what’s the fuss about the launch of this new MMO? Check out the background story:
An eon ago, Elga’s betrayal of the Dragon Lord Vyvern plunged the race of Dragons into conflict, and divided them into two warring factions.
Seeking mysterious artifacts of power believed to be hidden in the realm of Dragonica, Elga mounted a bloody invasion 1,000 years ago, but was finally defeated at great cost and entombed in a hidden fortress, presumably for all time.
But Man might yet be the engineer of his own downfall.
Powerful and hungry to be raised above all mankind, a beautiful enchantress named Paris has freed the Dark Lord from his imprisonment. Now, a sinister force is spreading through the lands once more, corrupting its adorable creatures and turning them against the inhabitants of the realm.
As a young hero whose peaceful world is rapidly deteriorating due to the evil influences sweeping across the continents, your task is to grow into one of the foremost warriors in the land and to stand with the Dragonians in the fight against the forces threatening to devour the world.
Pick one of four paths: as a Warrior, Magician, Archer or Thief, and find your own destiny!
Oooh! More about this new massively multiplayer online game in the days to come. If you can’t wait and just itching to get a piece of the action, hie on over to Dragonica’s official site in Asia.
