DCUO announces Tides of War summer event
When you think of the most awesome superheroes from DC's lineup, obviously Aquaman comes to mind. King of Atlantis, Duke of Hudson Bay, Comptroller of the Nile -- the guy's got more credentials than you have expired Subway coupons. So of course Aquaman's smack dab in the middle of DC Universe Online's new summer event, Tides of War. Tides of War is set against the backdrop of Aquaman fighting Ocean Master for the crown of the seas. Their respective followers have amassed fleets around DCUO's cities, and players can assist the side of their choice via with new missions, feats, collections, and a four-person alert. There are plenty of rewards to entice super-loyalty during this event, including pets and costumes. The event will go live with Game Update 16.
SWG adds space piracy, revisits Lok
Today marked the announcement of a major new content update for an MMORPG set in a galaxy far, far away. No, not that one. Sony Online Entertainment brings us word of the new Game Update 16: Stronghold of the Lok Revenants content patch for Star Wars Galaxies. The title is certainly a mouthful, and the amount of content looks to be equally chunky. The update features a return to the Feeorin pirate Nym's stronghold on the backwater barren known as Lok. One of the original themepark quest lines for the long-running MMO, Nym's has been revamped to feature additional side quests and new rewards, including the Jinkins J-1 Rifle, mounted Slugthrower decorations and Nym's logo rug. The update also features a new addition to the oft-neglected space-based portions of the game in the form of a piracy system that allows players to pull trade convoys out of hyperspace and pillage them for engines, shields, and all manner of shiny valuables. Finally, players can look forward to a new Email Collections reward - a display model of Nym's 'Havoc' starfighter. Check out the press release for the full details on Game Update 16.
