Chronicle of Spellborn fans and readers alike.  This title has it all! Make no mistake this is a must have for any mmorpg enthusiast! 

Iv been through more content with this mmorpg then most of the others.  The main web site for "The Chronicles of Spellborn" is over at http://www.thechroniclesofspellborn.com.   This is one heck of a site.  Its got a forum thats goin blow your socks off your feet.   The info thats been released so far is pretty standard for mmorpgs. 

I came across a preview thats a must see for any TCoS fan which translated into The Chronicles of Spellborn for those that didnt care enough to know.  Its over at http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/9778/The+Chronicles+of+Spellborn+Trailer+.  Onto the poll!

How about beta with this title. Iv seen so many advertisments for beta with this title that I had to go ahead and tryout for one myself.  Any one make it into beta? Tell us all about it if any one here has! 

Well been following it for a while myself and it is looking great so far and the ideas they have are looking new and refreshing from the old elfs n orcs stuff we get tossed at us every day of the week,

But like the two above me im a regular posted on the tcos forums i reconise someone's avatar (O_O)

but yea i agree witht he OP there is a hand full of people on the Tcos forums who are very rude and argumentative which to be honest is putting me off taking part in the forums anymore(im probaly not the only one) i cant be bothered i dont logg in there to have my replys disected and be talked down to.

But the devs and mods are pritty friendly and give some little new bits of info out in posts now and then other than the hand full of anoying people on the forums the community is top notch in my opinion.

Close to 75% of the voters voted that The Chronicles of Spellborn will be a contendor with all the other titles upon release.  I voted yes too, because this title seems to bring a type of simplicity that only will generate a thriling experience. 

Lets see some more previews Spellborn international!

Lets get some more Chronicles of Spellborn info rolling. Im really hyped about this title! Ill post the percentages of the poll.  72.2% agree that this will be a sucess upon release.  3.8% say its not going to do well. 13% voted that the competition will smuther what life The Chronicles of Spellborn has created for its release.  Then theres a chunck of 11.1% that are undecided.  

From the previews Iv seen so far and the web site Im a bit suprized by the 72.2%. I bet this will go up as we come closer to the release. 

Theres a new  newsletter that Spellborn International has just released.  Its called the Chornerstone Chronicle Issue 15.  Im not seeing it on the main Spellborn site but if you register over at the link I posted above you can see what new stuff the Deveolpement team has done.  Ill grab some quotes out of the newsletter and post them here.

In more concrete terms, it includes an in depth article (In-depth Look), a “sneak peek” section and many others…

Community Q&A

About statues, what if a group of 8 players manages to down one unique boss. Who will earn the statue? The party leader? The one who dealt the killing blow? All the party members?

Statues are the representation of high achievements performed in-game and can be earned as individual or guild efforts. These efforts can be of both PvE and PvP (tournaments) nature, giving the ability to be rewarded with a permanent or time limited statue. Guilds are more like a single ‘longer lasting’ entity which we can much more easily give a reward to then an ephemeral entity like a group.

Will TCoS feature a menu, option, tool, giving the possibility to quickly switch to one predefined set of equipment? Like a set for “indoor” and a set for “outdoor”?

A “Wardrobe” feature is an element we would like to implement in the game. This would give you the ability to switch easily and rapidly to one of several equipments sets you would have set beforehand. Yet, we cannot assure you whether this feature will be implemented for release for now, as we would want it to be fully integrated and functional.

Are there specific destinations other than Shardrealms within the Deadspell Storm, such as Raft Yards?

The Deadspell Storm is a part of the Spellborn world by itself. You’ll be able to travel to different Raft Yards -ranging from small to very large scale- as some quests chains will take you there, and also as certain “dungeons” are located on Raft Yards. Of course Shardrealms are also a destination, but there are also very special places and locations in the immense Deadspell Storm that are neither Shards nor Raft Yards.

Will there be puzzles to solve in the TCoS’ universe, puzzles that are interactive with the world (moving objects, switches etc.) or will we still see more of the static kind of quests in todays mmo's

We are working on something containing puzzle elements which will find its way after release. The issue with puzzles is balancing. It mustn’t be too easy –what’s the challenge, and it mustn’t be too hard to solve –otherwise you end up being blocked in your progression. Certain encounters or zones will have “puzzle” gameplay elements, in a way where you actually need to trigger some specific things before unlocking the big challenge. Regarding interactivity, Spellborn features many items players can interact with. For example you’ll see doors opening before you, you can climb ladders, and resource nodes are interactive as well.

What will be the "high end content" (the content for people of the maximum level), considering items are mainly cosmetic? In another MMO I've played, high end content was mainly item farming and PvPing, will that be any different in Spellborn?

We have many plans for “high end” content, but in a general way, once you reach the level cap in The Chronicles of Spellborn content will revolve around a balance of PvE and PvP. This is done in a way in which gameplay is not restricted to only one of these two. PvP and PvE are in fact linked in a real symbiotic way. We have designed these gameplay elements having in mind that PvP or PvE shouldn’t be something implemented to simply please one specific kind of players. Of course you will still be able to venture all over the world to gather crafting resources, or to hunt for the one sigil that would be the perfect addition to one of your skills or weapons ."
