The ArcheAge site has been updated with a brief look at two of the new zones that will arrive with the Dead Prophecies update scheduled to hit live service in the very near future. Both the Golden Ruins and Mistmerrow are detailed in the new blog post.
The Golden Ruins give players access to the Crimson Watch quest line and features a medium-sized housing area. In addition, the Golden Ruins will start players on the journey to crafting Obsidian Weapons.
Mistmerrow is the center of a new PvP mode that will see World Gates open up within the hub cities. Players gather and then are auto-grouped by faction before being teleported into the battle zone.
When the contest starts, six blood spires spawn around the battlefield and the force field dissipates. Players rush toward the spires and attempt to capture them by disabling surrounding towers. Once the towers have been destroyed, the central spire becomes attackable, and after it falls, a special essence appears in its place. You can capture it through interaction, but you must be quick! Opponents can also capture it, even if they didn’t participate in the spire’s destruction.
