King of Kings 3 launches, and with it, our dreams
"This is the moment online gamers have been waiting for!" gamigo announced today. Didn't you know that you were waiting for something? Sure you did. And apparently that moment was the launch of gamigo's King of Kings 3, which has sailed out of the harbor of beta testing and is now cruising at full speed into open waters. Citing "overwhelming" feedback from the three-month beta process, the studio feels secure in officially releasing this clan warfare MMO. King of Kings 3 is now available to players in North America and Europe, and it is completely free-to-play, according to the official site. The game features three basic classes, nine advanced classes, 90 levels and plenty of minigame love. PvP and clan warfare are the cornerstones of King of Kings 3, as gamers build up their communities, form alliances, fashion kingdoms and duke it out with the hated Other Side. Oh, Other Side, won't you ever learn that you are comprised of 78% weaksauce? If your ego needs a virtual kingdom to prop it up, King of Kings 3 has you covered. You can check out the game and play it for free at the official site.
Player stories on the official site
Blizzard asked for real-life stories from players a little while ago, and now they've posted a pretty big collection of them over on the official site (this page was around last year, but they've added many stories since then). As Bornakk says, these are personal accounts from players of how playing the game with others has helped them grow relationships in real-life. I'm not sure what exactly the point of posting these is (maybe Blizzard wants to stave off some of that negative media reporting about the game and addiction to it), but then again, if you dive into a few of these, you can see that they don't really need a point -- they're really interesting (and in some cases pretty heartwarming) stories about how players are using this game to enrich real-life relationships.They're still accepting more stories as well, so if you've got a good tale of some WoW-sharing in real-life, hit them up over on the submission page and put yours in the mix. Hopefully Blizzard will figure out a way to get these out into the real world -- harsh stories about addiction are so easy for the media to jump on, but great stories like these are the real reasons we all play this game.
