[DN SEA] Academic Coming To The Global Service!

Shanda Games hinted at it recently and it has now been announced that the Academic class will arrive in the Global service of one of the most successful free-to-play games in the world, Dragon Nest SEA. The update will take place on April 24, 2012.

Players interested in the Global service of Dragon Nest see http://dn.cherrycredits.com/.

First launching in South Korea on March 4, 2010, Eyedentity Games-developed Dragon Nest has achieved over 700,000 concurrent users in China and has won several game awards across Asia. Just over 2 years since its worldwide premier the game has achieved over 100 million registered users and become the third most profitable online game in South Korea behind only Dungeon Fighter Online (Nexon) and MapleStory (Nexon) by achieving a cumulative profit of 100 billion KRW. This over multiple services as the game has broken a global service record with localized services for South Korea (Nexon), China (Shanda), Japan (NHN), Thailand (AsiaSoft), North America and Oceania (Nexon), South-East-Asia (doubling as a ‘Global’ service) (Shanda) and Russia (mail.ru) and has been licensed for publishing in Indonesia (KREON).

Eyedentity Games has unveiled its second game which is being published by NHN in South Korea. I am hopeful that this game, Dungeon Striker, will quickly makes its way to North America.

[DN] Dragon Nest SEA (Global): Saint’s Haven Arrives On Oct. 18

Shanda Games, the publisher of the South East Asian service of Dragon Nest which doubles as the Global service, has announced that the new region of Saint Haven will be arriving on October 18.

The game’s level cap will be risen to 32 and Saint Haven will be accessible to players at the current level cap of 24 or higher. New skills can of course be unlocked as you level up towards the new cap.

The North American service of Dragon Nest published by Nexon America received its Saint’s Haven update in late September. The details of the patches may not be the same but for a preview of the full content that will likely come with this update to the SEA service click on the banner below:

Beta Pledge

Stand tall and proud CBT players, and take the Dragon Nest SEA Closed Beta Pledge, for your job is crucial and goes a long way to ensure utmost fun to millions of players around the world.

The Closed Beta phase of any game serves to improve and trouble-shoot any existing bugs and/or technical problems in the game or service. As a Dragon Nest SEA Closed Beta player, you pledge to:

• Embrace the objective of seeking out bugs, provide feedback and to stress-test the limitation of the game service during the CBT period.
• Be patient with bugs, technical problems and roll-backs during the CBT period.
• Be understanding when your account is wiped after CBT.
• Be proud of being the pioneer batch of players to experience the game before anyone else.
• Provide feedback and report bugs in our forum.
• Refrain from flaunting your CBT rewards too much in OBT. (It’s not nice to get people too jealous.)

Now, let’s give it your best for Lagendia!
