Vampire vs Werewolf WAR!
Be a part of our games history….
Enjoy the Fair while you can…. because this Friday will be the ultimate showdown. You will be forced to choose sides as the forces of the Werewolves and Vampires clash in an all out assault. A decisive victory in this War will determine the boss, and change the game permanently for anyone who plays it in the future…. yes, that is right. You are about to write history. Also… Quibble Coinbiter (in Shadowslayer "Q" gear) will be visiting BattleOn. Perhaps he will share a little more with us about the recently revealed 5th Lord of Chaos!

Happy Pi Day!
Have your π and eat it to...
There are many ways to celebrate Pi (π) day. Minimal is actually baking a special pie. Captain Rhubarb is teaching it to rats (presumably to make Pi.... rats.) And.... WOAH! Avgg just posted, "Did you ever realize 3.14 backwards spells pie in leet?" I wonder what the whole thing will spell!

Going Green, AQW Style
What luck! The luckiest day of the year is next Wednesday (March 17th), but seeing as to how unlucky I am*, we are celebrating Good Luck Day starting tonight! And don’t let the name fool ya’…. Just because it’s called Good Luck Day doesn’t mean it’s only 24 hours long… nope. Good Luck Day will be celebrated all week long! =D
Adorn yourself in green leprechaun attire and wield shamrock blades while searching for the end of the shot-down rainbow with the return of last year’s classic holiday map. Legend (and Artix) says that a pot of gold resides at the end of every rainbow… but there is only one way to find out if it is true or not (and Google’ing it doesn’t count).
In addition to the Rainbow map making its highly anticipated return, Lore’s first ever fair is coming to town! The Shamrock Fair is full of 5 brand-new minigames that award oodles of Golden Tickets. When you have enough of these tickets, you can turn them in for lucky Seasonal Rare Items! Be the first to get the high score in Smack a Sneevil, Jackpot O’ Gold, Clover Fields, and Rainbow Run, four of our action-packed minigames. Or take some time off and get lost in the Hedge Maze, one of the most complicated maps in all of Lore! Trust me… I had to get J6 to come rescue me while Cysero did nothing but lol.
*Artix and Cysero are still working on that BubbleWrap armor for me to wear in real life. I am always slipping, running into things, falling over, or causing myself bodily harm in some unintentional way, shape, or form.
Prizes, Prizes, and more Prizes
There are A LOT of prizes to be won in the Shamrock Fair. 16 of them, in fact! You might have to head to the bank and throw some stuff in, because you don’t want to miss out on getting these rockin’ Shamrock Fair Items! (Sorry folks, they already ran out of Deep Fried Funnel Cake Swords)
- Prismatic Cat's Tail
- Simple Celtic Dagger
- Three Leaf Clover
- Lucky Hammer
- Whack O' Mallet
- Pot of Gold Pet Pet
- Bucket O' Gold
- Sword of Caledonia
- Clown Mallet
- Heavy Celtic Axe
- Box Head Pet
- Snee-Vo the Clown Pet
- William Sneevil Pet
- Shy Mog Pet
- Moglin Wallace Pet
- Mog-O'Rahilly Pet
New Darkovian Rep Items
What do Vampires and Werewolves have in common with St. Patrick’s Day? Heh…we have no idea. BUT! We thought it would be pretty cool to use more of your suggestions and create additional weapons and armors for the Vampire & Lycan Rep Shops. Head on over to Darkovia and see if your ideas made it in game! Or you can just cheat and check out the list below:
- Chaotic Vampire Armor
- Chaotic Vamp Faceplate
- Vampire Bat Pet
- Vampiric Gladius
- Spirit Wolf Armor
- Spirit Wolf Hair
- Blade of Twilight
In the following releases, we will be adding more and more of your ideas into Darkovia. So if you want your ideas heard, make sure you post on the Darkovia Designs, Inc Thread!
On behalf of the entire AQW Team, we hope you have uber amounts of fun during this special clover-filled release. We have NO idea how we managed to conjure up this HUGE of a release in only 5 days… but we did have a lot of motivation and support from players like you! And a lot of luck, too. And coffee. Mmmm.
Irish you and your pals the best of luck =D

A Wiki-er is me!

I can't believe that a whole year has flown by this quickly! The AQWWiki turns ONE today! Over a year ago, we decided to take on the Wiki format for the AQWorlds Encyclopedia. Many people put their hearts and souls into making the wiki as you see it today: Burn, mturf, Hina, Ash and many, many others have spent hours making the Wiki a great place to use for your questions.
I use the wiki on a daily basis to get information that I need on prior releases, items and shops. It wouldn't be the same without the dedicated team and all of the players who provide them with all the information that they need! Thanks again to all the Wiki-ers out there! We couldn't have done it without you!
Happy First Birthday!
The Shamrock Fair!
Good Luck Day is almost here! Good Luck Day is only one day a year but YOU'RE IN LUCK.... the Shamrock Fair will be in town for at LEAST a week so make sure that you meet all the new NPCs, Take a stroll through the hedge maze, play all the new mini-games, and bring home LOTS of awesome Seasonal Rare Prizes!
The Fairmasters!
Llussion has been tirelessly working on each of the new minigames (and a few that you already know with a tartan twist!
Miltonius has been breaking his drawing hand making new rares all week long (including pet versions of each of the Fairmasters pictured above) so you'll have LOTS of great stuff to bring home from your visit to the fair! Other than a tummy ache from all the green colored junk food!
Can You Beat Beleen's Score of 53?
But remember, you can only EARN these prizes by winning Golden Tickets from each of the fair games! If you're already an AQW Member, then you get a leg-up on the competition (as always). We have a SPECIAL MEMBER'S ONLY FAIR GAME that gives a lot more Golden Tickets than the other games... but you'll want to try the others anyway. They're so much fun!
Also, if you feel like you need a little extra luck, the Fair Fairies who greet you at the entrance to the fair are selling a Lucky Hat for Adventure Coins that DOUBLES the amount of tickets you win at each game!
What Do I Play First?!
All this, PLUS last year's event with all new tagged versions of the Season Rare drops from there, PLUS new items in the Vampire and Werewolf Rep shops!
Prepare yourselves! The AQW team intends to shamrock you like a hurricane, starting tomorrow!
If you're not there, I'm taking your pot of gold.

Irish You the Best of Luck!
Sneak-peek at this week’s release
 March 17th is a very lucky day. Not only is it the birthday to both my Mother and Sister in real life, it also symbolizes Lore’s Good Luck Day (also known as St. Patrick’s Day)! And this week’s release is ganna be all about this special green-and-gold-and-leprechaun laden holiday.
Were you around last year when we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day? No? Well hey, neither was I! Which is the exact reason why we are re-releasing last year’s Seasonal Holiday Event in the “Rainbow” map, full of Leprechauns, shot-down rainbows, fabled pots of gold, and, um, rats with lazer beams attached to their heads. All of last year’s items have gone Seasonal Rare while new 2010 versions have been created, except for the Leprechaun Class that has gone perma RARE! A 2010 Armored version of the Leprechaun Class will be available though, so you can still show your Good Luck Day Spirit without getting pinched.
But wait! There’s more…a lot more, actually. In addition to last year’s festivities, a new one is showing up—cue the Luck Day Fair! As the name suggests, the Luck Day Fair is a festival full of new NPCs and a bunch of fun new Mini-Games that award Golden Tickets. This stackable currency will allow you to trade your hard-earned tickets in for NEW 2010 Holiday Rare items, exclusive to Good Luck Day. What will these items be? What will they look like? Heh… you’re going to have to wait and find out—cuz it’s bad luck to ruin that big of a surprise!
New Darkovian Items
New Vampire and Werewolf Rep Items will also be appearing in their respected shops come Release Day. Because of how successful the Darkovia Designs, Inc thread is doing on the Forums, we just had to add more of your ideas into the game! Cysero also got an overwhelming amount of players wanting the Sanguine Armor and Faceplate to be added, so that too will become available in Brysin’s Vampire Rep Shop.
Want your idea to be put in game? Well tell us about it! Post your suggestions, ideas, and designs on the Battleon Forums and let it be heard… er, read!

The Bloodgroove and Changes!
An epic weapon and for an epic adventure
SURPRISE! We have a NEW Limited Time shop in Battleon! This will be your only chance to get the Bloodgroove!
The Bloodgroove!
This was the long time weapon and only compantion of a barbarian warlord whose clan was wiped out during a battle between the vampires and werewolves. He spent the rest of his life avenging his clan and family and the mighty Bloodgroove served him well all those years.
The timer is ticking and once the Bloodgroove shops closes, it will leave the game FOREVER. Just so you know.
The PTR is coming soon and bringing lots of changes
We are nearing the finish line on the PTR, and when this new AQW Engine is moved to the live servers, some thigss will change. Like the new Shop interface, for example.
Yeah, I have a LOT of gold and ACs.
There will also be a new Enhancement interface that should make the 840 new enhancements a lot simpler to figure out.
Why are there 840 new Enhancements going into the game? Because we will finally have STATS. This means that you will be able to influence how you play the game, including being able to change your own character's "build".
Are you a mage who wants a lot of HP so you can take a lot of hits, or a high DODGE so you NEVER get it? Maybe you don't care if you die because you have so much INT that you have hit the DAMAGE cap!
When you play as a Doomknight, do you need more STRENGTH to deal damage as fast as possible, or more CRIT to deal damage as fast as possible? See? Options.
All of these new, different enhancements will give you different stats depending on how YOU decide to enhance them, but you'll have to play smart. The stats influence each class a little differently!
Finding the right ENH for you will be pretty easy, just go to the Class Trainers in Battleon! They will have new "Smartshops" that will show you the right ENH for your level, but don't stop there... some monsters and rare, hard to find areas might contain RARE ENH that will increase your power even further!
The build options are nearly engless which should make PVP a lot of fun!
Waitaminute! Did I say PVP? Let me check.
YES! I DID! Right up there! ^ PVP is finally coming to AQW and as many of the members who have been helping us test know, it's pretty awesome.
Not only will you get the safisfaction of being your fellow players into the dirt, you will also unlock special PVP only rewards for doing it. It's a win/win situation!
We are also adjusting the XP and REP curves making it eaiser for you to LEVEL UP, AND get reputation with the faction of your choice, but we are also making it faster and eaiser to RANK UP in your desired classes, and speeding up when you unlock new skills!
Artix and I even discussed the possibility of adding new Achievement Badges for getting classes to Rank 10.
Best of all we will be increasing the Level Cap to 30, and the PTR release will enable us to once again add new CLASSES (not just armors but classes with skills) to AQW!
It's a LOT of balancing. A lot of math. A lot of thinking. And thinking is not our strong suit. We are working out butts off for you guys, to make sure that when the PTR goes live it will be the single best release AQW has had since we brought it online! WIsh us luck.

A Cat's Tale
An AQWorlds Player saves my Mother's** Cat?
True story. I love starting Monday with news like this. In addition to the crazy release that Beleen is going to tell you about shortly, I would like to share a personal story with you. That is what friends do, right?
Boca
(
... wait, or is this one Ratton?
I cannot tell without their collars. They are twins.)
The team here was sad to learn earlier last week that one of my Mother's** twin Siamese cats, had gone missing. She has had Boca and Ratton for over 10 years. Needless to say, it was heart breaking. You can only imagine the awe when she called to tell us that the cat had been found and recovered... by an AQWorlds player!
To celebrate his act of kindness, we created an in-game version of Boca*** which is now available at Aria's pet shop! Thank you :-)
* Now with super "Triple Layer" anti-time-travel-fairy protection!
** It may come as a shock to some (As we saw on Twitter), but just like all of the singers, actors, teachers, and Presidents... I too seem to have a Mother! (Note: I do not have a Belly button though... how wierd is that?)
*** Because releasing an in-game version of my Mother would just be wrong ... and lead to a lot of "yer mom" jokes!

Goin' Craaaazy!

One time only!
You may have noticed some changes in the Yokai maps today. The Storyline quests in the Yokai zone have been set to be done ONCE only. In order to gain Yokai Rep, you can use the Rep Tournament or the Yokai Daily quests from the shrines. We've upped the Gold/XP/Rep rewards for the storyline quests, and we may up them again in the future.
We will be adding new Rep Quests to the Yokai area in the coming weeks, and will also be taking a look at all the other storyline zones.

Therewolf!
The Werewolf King and Lycan Rep Shop!
Welcome to Werewolf Week Friday! It's time to enter Lycan Ridge and see if you can convince the Werewolf King to join you and Shadowlsayer Z against Wolfwing... and maybe find out a few secrets about Wolfwing!
Constantine, the Werewolf King!
In addition to the Lycan section of the Darkovia Quest Chain, we are also releasing the Lycan Rep Shop for those of you who fall on the werewolf side of the Vampire/Werewolf fence.
Werewolf Armor, and Sanguine!
The rep shop contains:
- 2 New Armors!
- 3 New Swords!
- 2 New Pets!
- 1 New Cape!
- 3 New Helms!
Not to mention several brand new items dropping off of Sanguine and his Chaos Vampire Knight minions!
In addition: due to a large amount of player reuqests, Rep Rewards for the Vampire Rep quests have been increased and the Werewolf Rep quests match them.
Randor also kindly added a few new Darkovia wallpapers to our Wallpaper Site!
Have a great weekend guys! Awooo else.

His lycanthropic curse is worse than his bite

New Rare Item Guide
We could use your help creating the categories that describe rare items. It is a very tough decision. The goal is to make it really easy to tell if an item is available, how hard it is to get, or if it will be coming back again. Please let us know your thoughts... especially if you are a rare item hunter... we are getting close to decision time!
Official Item Rarity Guide Thread
THE PTR - Enhancements, XP & Gold
We added 840 new enhancements to the database. Yesterday was "check every item in the game for bugs day". Today, we are going to super boost the XP rewards from one-time-only quests (Example: Story Line Quests.) Also, we are working on a few new daily quests to help you level up when we raise the level cap to 30.
Help test on the PTR (Currently Members Only)
Forum Question: It is time for a new contest.... what kind of contest would you like?
* ... time travel faeries raiding my DNs again!

It's Werewolf Week!
I'll Make This Quick
So there was a little coding hiccup with the Dire Wolf Limited Time shop (which WILL BE LEAVING tonight at midnight tonight. WE PROMISE). The pets are still going Rare when the shop leaves, so this is still your only chance to get Midnight and Full Moon, but this time the timer is telling the truth. Sorry about the confusion.
THIS WEEK: If you have spoken to Safiria and completed her quests, you will be making your way to the Wolflands to confront the Werewolf King in his land.
Keep checking back here through the week as we will be posting sneak peeks of this Friday's upcoming release!
