Free online game Grand Chase now has a new playable character available – Sieghart.
Sieghart was a renowned hero of Bermesiah 600 years ago, but disappeared in the midst of ruins. Reappearing in the times of Grand Chase, he tells the people that the Highlander gods saved him from death and gave him the gift of immortality. He joins the Grand Chase to stop the Ascendant God from a planned invasion to Bermesiah. Sieghart bears the name of Elesis’ grandfather and has a chargeable gauge to strengthen attacks (similar, though not identical to Jin’s gauge) that fills over time, faster when damaged or dealing damage. He wields a long blade that, in contrast to Elesis’ weapon, he holds in reverse. Like Jin, he is adept in several styles of combat.

The version 2.1.2 update to Runes of Magic is now available.
Until now, the huge Naga Acropolis in the volcanic territory has been inaccessible. With ‘2.1.2 – Storming of the Acropolis’, the gates of the fortress are now open and so is a special district inside the zone which will challenge players. Countless elite henchmen occupy the walls and trenches around the Acropolis – Naga troops have set up their camps all around. Solo players don’t have a chance here; only well-equipped groups will ultimately get to face off against the leader of the Naga army: King ‘Sharleedah’ will provide a tough battle for adventurers and can only be toppled by extreme force.
In addition to the new district, patch ‘2.1.2 – Storming of the Acropolis’ offers Elven players some new elite skills for their dual class combination. Minor changes in the interface, new titles for their avatars as well as fixing a few bugs have all been included in today’s update.
………………..………………..………………..………………..
A new expansion for PoxNora (the 12th) is scheduled for mid-November. The expansion, titled Dire Covenant, will include:
New Runes: Utilize 72 new runes, including new champions, spells, equipment and relics.
New Abilities: Over 50 new abilities, including the new “Channel” mechanic allowing players to spend Nora for a temporary stat boost.
New Player Avatars: Player Avatars will now be able to reach a level of 40, increasing their power and bringing powerful allies to the battlefield.
