Requiem: Bloodymare Is No More

Don’t be surprised, it was bound to happen. Requiem: Bloodymare, the mature-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game from online games powerhouse Gravity, is indeed no more. In its place, however, is Requiem: Memento Mori, a new chapter in the game’s book.
I haven’t played Requiem in ages, and this bit of information is welcome news. I might—just MIGHT—give Requiem another go, especially now that it has new content, including a significant revamp in the skills of every class and an expanded player-versus-player system.

Oh, and if you are like me, someone who hasn’t played for the longest time, don’t be startled if you log in and find your Temperion (Requiem’s novice class) no longer a Temperion. Back when Requiem: Bloodymare was in effect, you had to start the game as a Temperion before changing into the first job. In Requiem: Memento Mori, you can now start as a first “jobber.”
This means that when you log on to the game, you may find that your Turan Temperion is now a Defender. Same goes for the Bartuk Temperion (Warrior), Kruxena Temperion (Rogue), and Xenoa Temperion (Hunter).
Another new feature that may spice up gameplay—but turn off some players—is the fact that your character can now de-level. What this means is if your avatar has little or no experience points and dies, he or she can drop in level. So if, say, your character is Level 60 and wearing Level 60 equipment, and then suddenly falls in battle, you’ll discover that he or she can no longer wear that shiny new armor set.
Visit the official website for more information about the game and the complete Requiem: Memento Mori patch notes.
Before I forget, don’t stress yourself out by updating your Requiem: Bloodymare client. It just won’t work because Gravity changed the installation shield. You need to download the Requiem: Memento Mori client, either through Bittorent or Direct Download, to play the game.
