Welcome to another edition of MMOre Power, a semi-regular section of MMOtaku that highlights survival necessities in the ever-changing and fast-paced world of massively multiplayer online games. In this edition of MMOre Power, let’s discuss newsletter subscriptions to your favorite online games.
I know you’re begging to ask what the big deal is with newsletter subscriptions and how they are linked to getting MMOre Power in an MMO setting. All right, let me go straight to the point. Having a subscription to the newsletter of an online game affords you special items through what publishers call “promotional codes” attached to the monthly newsletter.
Oh, the items aren’t really what you would consider godly. They also generally don’t give big boost to character attributes and the like. But these items are very helpful in either leveling your characters or getting decent loot.
Take Atlus Online’s latest promo for newsletter subscribers to the online game Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent for example. This Halloween, players get three items: a Gold Premium Preview, which grants a character increased share of experience points and more gold, Sharp Horns, a snazzy headgear that brings out the demon in you, and a Creepy Crate, which contains a random goody.
Look what the newsletter dragged in: Goodies in the online game Neo Steam.
Neo Steam isn’t the only game that gives away goodies with its newsletter. Take my word for it, subscribing to an online game newsletter is worth it. If you’re afraid of spam, don’t fret. These newsletters only come once a month. Unless you’ve subscribed to newsletters of over a dozen games, you have nothing to worry about.
Who says gifts only come during birthdays and Christmas?
