First off, the Colosseum has a new master, Hasta has agreed to to take over as our new Colosseum Admin. Welcome on the Team. And even though he has only been in this position for a few days, he already started several new leagues and events.

For all, looking for a new challenge, the skill leagues have now opened their doors. Each league is open to all classes and races provided they only attack with either melee, ranged or magic attacks. This should allow heroes to display their skills in unusual ways.
In addition, the 2 vs 2 league has been restarted and old and new participants alike are always welcomed.
Naturally all the classic leagues are still up and running. Visit the Arena today and join the fun.

We have also received news from Jaidoh the traveling Circus Master. He has been journeying for years all over the world and has now decided to set up a base in Fraon, the capital of Nemea. Amongst his huge collections of followers and acts are various monsters heroes may fight for the amusement for his visitors.The first challenge goes out to the young heroes of Ezantoh. Up to 50 young heroes (lvl 10 or below) to try and knock down one of his War Ogres. That should draw in a crowd. And all the more experienced fighters should keep an eye out for Jaidoh will certainly bring more of his exotic discoveries into the Arena. To visit the traveling Circus, just go to the Colosseum Forums.

For glory and honor

After a long and hard days travel… again, you stumble into an old tavern called “The Drunken Elf”. The tavern sign shows an elf not handling his ale too well and you see why as you push the doors open: the tavern is run and occupied by dwarves.
The tavern is very full and the dwarves seem a little rowdy. By the time you make it too the bar you seem to be wearing around four or five pints of ale. You order ale and food for your stomach and its served promptly. Just about that time one of the tavern's patrons, a human but with a stature similar to an elf, jumps up on stage and begins to sing…

The Dungeon will be available with the next data transfer on Thursday, the 26th of November.
It is recommended to all groups from Level 24 to Level 27 (available Level 21 to 40).
The Dungeon is based on a player suggestion from DarkRuan and was rewritten by Curumo.
It was designed and balanced by Snark and Ibid.

For the first weeks, this dungeon will only be available for the recommended level to give the groups of an appropriate level the chance to explore it before high-level groups rush through it.
In addition the two dungeons "dwarven stairs" and "riddle of amber" will be available up to level 40 for several weeks. We highly recommend it to all groups to visit these dungeons again.


Thanks to all for your great work.

With the next data transfer, a new feature will be added to World of Dungeons, Achievements. This feature will be in beta status for now and might still contain a few bugs, none of which will influence your heroes in any other area. Step by step we will introduce more achievements and with the next realm, achievements will be an important part of the game awarding new and unique prices for their completion.

In this first batch, we will start with some basic achievements concerning your hero, the recruitment of new players, the Colosseum, dungeons, quests and voting. These achievements are for example:
Completing dungeons or quests will reward your hero with an achievement. Later we will add more achievements under this category for winning dungeons in a certain way or surviving a devastating hit like the cannon in the deranged alchemist. We might also add statistical achievements for dealing a certain amount of damage in a dungeon or reaching 100% hit quota.
Winning hero-, group- or clan-duels will award you with achievements. In time we will also award achievements for winning a league or tournament or for being on the winning side in a mass duel.
There are many achievements to explore already and more to come.

Hope you enjoy the new feature.

Ever wished to add your own Dungeon to the World of Dungeons?
Want to see your name up there with all the other Designers?

Here is your chance.

We are currently looking for a good new Dungeon story for the third Dungeon of the Kargash series.

The series starts with the Quest: The Battle of Kargash Peak and is followed by the first and second gate Dungeons.
The first gate leads the players to the elemental plain of wind, which was taken over by Staddig and his energy rouges. Behind the second gate you have to defeat Tzaach Gaahroth the king of the fire giants and ruler of the elemental plain of fire.

Now the scholars of Ravenfort have recently found out that the third gate leads onto the elemental plain of water. So if you have a good idea for a Dungeon, post it here. The best suggestion will be implemented by our Designers.

Requirements:
1. The dungeon is for the levels of 32+. This means it has to be more difficult then Shadows or Wolferod.
2. The dungeon has to center around the exploration of the elemental plain of water by the players.
3. The story has to be interesting and fun, with special and new challenges for the players.

As soon as you invited the new member, he emptied your groups storage and left again? Someone insulted you or is trying to slander your good name? Or maybe you just need a hero transfer to replace a leaving group member?
With all these and many more problems, the judges of the Courts of Fraon can help you. They will help you to find the ones who wronged you, punish cheaters and unfair players and even help to return the items you lost to you.

I am happy to announce Mandrayk as our new Court Admin, welcome on the Team. The case-load is way too high for one single judge to handle though. Therefor we are currently looking to hire new judges, so if you are interested in helping other players and to keep WoD a fair game with a nice community, send your application to Mandrayk on any Realm.

Greetings

Endarion
