Recently, the MMORPG.com team had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the upcoming Book 13. This new free content update will introduce players to a new (and frozen) area known as Forochel.
Forochel itself is a cold and inhospitable place where even the elements themselves can sap a character’s morale. As if the biting cold and storms were not enough, Keith Cross managed to grab a few screenshots of some of the new monsters that will threaten characters as they move through this frigid area.
The Grim
Ice Worm
Kilpa-Kita
Ice Giant
And as if all of that wasn’t enough, we’ll let these last images speak for themselves.
Is the last monster an oliphaunt?
Oliphaunt would be much bigger and probably could not survive in such a harsh climate.
I have played today, after months not playing, and I don't like the last changes. PvPM seems much more laggy, fire and other particle effects are more fun.. but somewhat cheesy. I say this patch are adding chessiness to a game that used to be elegant.
I bet the new book will add new chessines and Conan-alike areas :I
wth is chessines?
and i havent noticed any increase in lag, and last i checked this waqs still on Test Center (as of last night) so unless they released it to live this morning, you are playing currently on a overburdened TC right now
Coming in book 13? I think book 13 is already live. >.>
book 13 is not live yet
No we're still on Book 12, Book 13 is due out this month.
Book 13 is on the Test Server Roheryn ; it won't be live until closer to the end of this month. However, if you download the test client (for subscription customers) you can play it now.
No.
In future tense, yes.
So there's a gate in the North of Evendim, is that the only way there?
No one has played it yet (well not for long) as Roheryn server has been down since yesterday after they discovered a problem that was corrupting characters. It is still not up at this time.
Itd be nice if they would put the account site back up. It was supposed to be back at 6pm, est... and here it is five hours later, and its still down! And now they have a notice saying that the authentication will be down again tomorrow morning at 9.30a til 2.30! geez....
They dont want peoples money too badly I guess.
