Beyond the Horizon Expands PvP Opportunities
Berlin - 30.09.2009 - Thanks to a new tournament system Bounty Bay Online
players will be able to go up against one another in various combat modes from
Q4 2009. Whether in a nail-biting one-on-one, or a thrilling group encounter in
2vs2 or 5vs5 mode, the coming ‘Beyond the Horizon’ expansion will let plucky
players measure themselves against their peers in both land and sea combat. Two
new arenas will be opening their gates as venues for the tournaments. The land
combat arena with its Asiatic look and the deceptively picturesque bay which
forms the new sea combat arena, will invite belligerent players from all over
the seafarer world to take on all comers. There will be four NPC’s at the
harbour in Athens who will accept players’ registrations for the weekly
tournaments within a defined signing up period. During the registration players
will also select between individual or group combat and decide on either the
land or sea combat arena as their tournament showplace. Respective opponents
will be drawn on a random basis. The best participants will compete over three
rounds towards a final where highly desirable in-game prizes beckon. A detailed
ranking system will provide continuous information about the outcomes of the
conflicts; number of knockouts, match timings, listings of the best teams or
individual combatants.
Frogster will be publishing ‘Beyond the Horizon’ in line with current plans in
the course of the fourth quarter 2009. Together with the new PvP arenas and
tournaments, the add-on will include lots of new features such as the new
continent of South America, six new cities, five new character classes, new
instances, new pet-system and new pets, new ranking systems and new mini-games.
In keeping with its predecessors, ‘Beyond the Horizon’ will be available free of
charge. Players can obtain regular bulletins about the up-coming expansion at a
special info web page:
