-NEWS ARCHIVE-

1/21/2008 - Official Public Beta Test:

Well its been awhile since our last update, but I'm excited to give this next one and I hope that everyone feels the same! We have recently launched in an office test of the entire Crowns of Power game world which turned out to be a success. We've tweaking some final problems we ran into, as well as other random bugs that needed to be squashed in preperation for the official Public Beta of Crowns of Power! This project has been in development for some time, and we greatly appreciate all the support and interest that many of you have shared in it over the last 2 years. Everything is finally coming together to the point where we feel we're ready to release a full public beta test of the entire game world. In the next week or two, we'll be launching the public beta live and have a client available for download on the site, as well as a link to the download in a newsletter we'll be sending out to anyone who has applied for the beta. This is going to be a full open beta and all that is required to participate is a Rampid Gaming account, which can be created at www.rampidgaming.com. Once the beta has run long enough where we feel comfortable that we've tackled any bugs and issues that arise, Crowns of Power will then be taken out of beta and officially released!

Also as a heads up, the Crowns of Power forums have been merged into the Rampid Gaming Forums. From the Rampid Gaming forums, you'll have access to Outwar and Crowns of Power discussion, as well as any future products released by Rampid Interactive. So head on over and start posting! We look forward to seeing everyone in the public beta of Crowns of Power, and thank you again for your patience and continued support in Rampid Interactive's first 3D Title!

9/06/2007 - PvP Open Beta:

We've recently launched a PvP Open Beta that anyone can join in and participate using your Rampid Gaming login and password. If you do not have a Rampid Gaming account, you can create one at www.rampidgaming.com. The Crowns of Power beta client is available in Downloads . Keep in mind that this is purely a PvP test to balance the base spell schools in the game, as well as stress test the servers. The test will take place in a Capture the Flag environment, where players can capture flags to earn money to purchase upgraded equipment at their team vendor. Check out the Crowns of Power Forums for additional information on the test and also to post any bugs, suggestions or feedback you have with the game! Thanks for your continued support and partipation in this project, we look forward to seeing you in the test!

9/06/2007 - PvP Open Beta:

5/25/2007 - New screenshots up:

We have added some new screenshots of the upcoming zone Wastes of Zul in the gallery. Many more screenshots will be uploaded to the site in the coming days so check back to see all the cool new spell effects and other additions we've made. We'll be sending emails out when beta is up and running again, but we'll still be giving updates on the site hopefully on a more regular basis. Testers can look forward to 2 new zones, 2 new dungeons, and a revamped skill system among many other things.

4/11/2007 - Beta going down for a couple weeks:

We're going to be bringing down the beta servers for a few weeks while we implement the new AI pathing system, as well as some new dungeons and possibly 2 new maps up as well for the next release, more than doubling the content in the game. We also intend to completely redo the skill system and the way combat works in the game to be more interactive. Check back here as well as the forums for updates on the changes. We'll also be sending out emails when things are back up and running. With new software to construct dungeon style maps, we'll be able to develop them at a much higher rate, which should greatly enhance the beta experience for our users! We greatly appreciate all the feedback we get in the beta forums, so please feel free to continue any discussions and suggestions on the Beta so we can continue to improve it!

4/06/2007 - AI Pathing and more:

Time for another Crowns of Power update! We've been exceedingly busy working on this project and are excited with the progress we continue to make each day. We're currently working on implementing a new and advanced AI pathing system that should greatly decrease the amount of problems with pathing mobs, especially on escort quests. We're also going to be completely rehauling the skill system into something we feel will be a lot of fun for the players and very unique to the genre as well. Also look forward to two new maps on the horizon in the Frigid Frontier, and Zul. Keep checking back for more updates, and remember to visit the forums if you have any questions or suggestions. You can privately message me on Fabar on the forums and ill try my best to respond in a timely manner.

3/23/2007 - New map released:

We've continued to make progress in the development of Crowns of Power and are happy to announce the release of our newest map, Tulorn. Testers should now be able to continue level progression through questing and adventuring in this new zone, full of new rare mobs, weapons and artifacts! Look for two more maps to be released on the horizon. We'll be keeping you up to date on any changes with the Crowns of Power beta in this news section so check back.
