Terra Militaris

We announced last month that a new expansion for Terra Militaris was on the way, and it seems that the day has arrived! Titled "Birthright," this new expansion will also bring the addition of one new server per language, alongside a pile of prizes to be won. gPotato.eu will be ranking the top players on the new servers, and whoever makes it to first place will receive a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1010, with the second place winner receiving an Asus Netbook.

Good luck to all of the contenders!

Gala Networks Europe has announced that Birthright, the upcoming expansion for Terra Militaris will launch in March 2012! This new expansion will bring a premium Nobility feature, a new friend system, a new dungeon filled with new items and rewards, as well as a new server for all four supported languages.

• The new Nobility System will allow players to upgrade their account through three levels of nobility. By doing this, the player will unlock automatic systems that allow nobles to automate basic tasks, thereby allowing you to truly unleash your inner war lord.
• The revamped friend system will bring a plethora of ways to encourage teamwork and cooperation while rewarding players with unlockable bonuses and mechanics. There are five Friend Levels (that sounds more complex than making friends in real life!) and each level brings new unlocked bonuses, improvements, and access to new items.
• The new dungeon being introduced, Fate's Labyrinth, is a unique lottery dungeon that, for a small amount of in-game gold, rewards players with the chance to win powerful equipment, resources, and in-game items. Players with access to the new Nobility System will be able to access extra rewards!

March is only one short month away, and what better month to have to get through than the shortest month of the year?!

Back in March, Gala Networks Europe released special charity items in four of its games to support relief efforts in Japan following the recent tsunami and earthquake. Today they announced that players of Rappelz, Flyff, Castle of Heroes and Terra Militaris raised a combined total of €22,151 by purchasing these items.

The money was donated to the Irish Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal on May 31 and will be relayed to its Japanese counterpart to help assist those impacted by one of Japan’s worst natural disasters. The European fundraiser was part of a global GALA Group initiative that raised close to €50,000 worldwide.
