Kotaku: THQ*ICE is gearing up for the North American open beta test of their first massively-multiplayer online offering, Dragonica Online, with special items and events lined up for players willing to put it through its paces.
Dragonica Online is a 3D game with 2D platforming action, strong enough for a computer but easy enough to play with a wired Xbox 360 controller, which is how I played the demo they had on hand at Comic-Con last month. It's cutesy fun with an interesting skill system, but you can find that out on August 18th, when the open beta goes live. To celebrate the launch of the beta, THQ*ICE will be giving out starter item packs to players during the first week of testing, hosting in-game events, and holding the Dragonica Online Loot Hunt, in which players hunt monsters for a chance to win both in-game and real world prizes.
Earlier today an announcement was made that included exciting details about a massive collaboration between two of Europe’s biggest free-to-play publishers, Gala Networks Europe and Gravity Europe.
Published and developed by Gala Network Europe, the same development team behind other free popular MMO games Rappelz and Allods Online, Dragonica is an action-packed free to play MMORPG with a unique art style and an exciting array of innovative features. Whether you’re a fan of competitive PvP combat, or difficult PvE content and dungeons, Dragonica has features that appeal to all kinds of gamer. It’s updated on a regular basis and has just received a total graphical overhaul of the entire game world.
Gala Networks Europe has announced that today is the third birthday of its action role-playing game (RPG) Dragonica. From today, a new series of special player versus player (PvP) maps and a Community Arena will open, along with some great presents for players, to celebrate the game’s three years on the gPotato.eu portal.
