Dragon's Prophet: Hands On

Be it the works of Tolkien, a certain incredible series that makes Monday to Saturday just filler, or virtually every fantasy MMO in existence; dragons are a staple of myth and now popular culture.

Dragon’s Prophet puts these enthralling creatures of legend front and center of both its world and its gameplay as you seek out, tame and join forces with dragons to bolster your own abilities.

While at GDC, I attended a presentation of the game by Todd Carson, Senior Producer of Dragon’s Prophet from Runewaker and SOE. The introductory demo was followed by a quick hands-on session to get my own perspective on what to expect.

Runes of Love

Valentine’s Day is coming, in case you forgot, and most of us men always forget or ruin it somehow. Well, Runes of Magic might have just the thing for you and your Significant Other. They have started the festivities early, and are now offering all sorts of goodies to those who are romantic! Grow some roses, eat some chocolate and enjoy the season of love.

"- You can make chocolate that will give you 35% health back when eaten.
- When you have collected 5 chocolate sweets you can use the world broadcast once.
- A good gardener can grow roses from seeds - and get a buff when the flower finally blooms.
- Exchanging 10 roses can be exchanged for certain gifts - like temporary mounts. - 30 roses will grant you a title"

Sounds like an excellent way to share time with the one you love, while possibly changing his or her mind about massively mutiplayer gaming. Not to mention an early Valentine's Day, lest you forget.
