The team from Atlantica Online returns with another developer journal. This time, they introduce us to the game's Minstrel class.

The Minstrel, Atlantica Online’s newest mercenary, is finally here, and ready to take center stage by storm. No, this Minstrel is not your typical medieval bard, and he’s definitely not your harp-wielding, muffin hat-wearing servant in tights either. Rather, this Minstrel is a she, and she’s in scantily clad leather and chains, handling ridiculously eccentric guitars that would make Jimmy Page jealous. The Minstrel will be the first mercenary able to wield instruments.

The Minstrel recruitment quest was influenced by one of the most celebrated violinists of his time, Niccolò Paganini. You follow Nina Paganini, a talented virtuoso herself, who is banished from her hometown in Italy when fear of iniquity arises because of her otherworldly talents. You find out that she is now situated in the Dallas Lawless District, where her parents have been murdered by Machine Gun Brooks’ gang. As she looks to recover stolen keepsakes of her parents, she seeks your assistance to avenge her parents by ridding the streets clean of violence.
