Secret of the Solstice Patch Adds New Zones, Quest Inte

Outspark — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:00:51 GMT

The latest patch for the free-to-play MMORPG Secret of the Solstice has something for both new players and battle-hardened veterans alike, including a new starting zone, four new high-level areas, and a brand new quest interface.

Players just starting their Solstice adventure and long-time players creating a new alt to take advantage of the game's branching class tree can now experience an entirely new starting zone. Based on the feedback from the Solstice community, Outspark has implemented a brand new starting zone featuring new quests and a lush jungle environment.

Meanwhile, the evil GM Alastor has fled into the deserts of Xen. Players up to the task must pursue him across four new harsh landscapes - the Emperonie Plateau and the Aserphel, Cretino, and Turmeit deserts - and battle his armies as they come closer to uncovering the secrets of the Solstice Sphere.

Additionally, the new patch also introduces a player-requested overhaul of the game's quest UI. Players can now view all of an NPC's available quests at the same time and choose which mission to undertake.

The latest Secret of the Solstice content patch is available now. For more information, visit the official Secret of the Solstice website.

Fiesta Back to School Items/Events

Who says going back to school has to be boring? Whether you're just starting college, high school, or junior high (or returning for yet another year of teachers, textbooks, and tests), the free MMORPG Fiesta is offering players a chance to take a break from their homework and enjoy new items and fun in-game events.

Head back to school in style with three new items now available in the Fiesta Store. The School Uniform allows players to be the envy of all their friends, while bad boys (and girls!) will feel more comfortable in the Winter Boop Set. Players don't need to be sentenced to pout in the corner to enjoy the Dunce Cap, but they do need to try their luck in the Remi's Rare Finds minigame - it's the only way to get your hands on the new item.

Players can also experience new school-themed events in September and October, including the Get Schooled event, which offers players the chance to get schooled by Fiesta's GMs either on the playground (AKA the Elderine Free Battlezone) or in the classroom (the OX Quiz Field in Elderine). Brush up on your fighting skills (and your reading, writing, and arithmetic) now and prepare to get schooled!

Outspark's free MMORPG Fiesta is celebrating its one year anniversary. Released last September, Outspark's first title has already attracted over two million players. Outspark has released multiple major content patches over the past year, including a free expansion last month that raised the level cap, introduced player weddings and an apprentice system.

For the next two weeks (September 4-16) players will be able to participate in a quest to celebrate the one year anniversary. Vietree in Roumen is working on baking a birthday cake and needs your help to gather all the ingredients. Complete the quest and you will earn a Mini Cake. This tasty treat will raise your stats by 10 for a limited time.
