The steampunk-styled fantasy MMO Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent released its first-ever content patch today, opening a new area for players to explore called Rope Isle. "New monsters, new quests, new areas, and a big-bad bigboss, the Elder Kroness, who’s chained up inside an active volcano," one of the admins writes on the news release, in the official forums.

From the screen shots, it looks like a bunch of new vanity items are also available. The patch also adds a "Player Rankings" system to the game, which is based off PvP play. In case you missed it at launch, Neo Steam is a free-to-play MMO with a variety of human and animal-like characters. Check out our earlier interview for more info.
