03.03.2013Screenshot of the Week
This week's Screenshot of the Week winner is Grand_Master! It seems that Grand_Master has managed to capture a little bit of good ol' medieval fun: jousting! Perhaps their Generals decided to settle a disagreement with a tournament?

02.03.2013Mini-Adventure: The Lost Skull
This week, our new game update finally hit live servers! One of the very exciting additions was a new Mini-Adventure, "Lost Skull Island." As you can see, its name is rather indicative of the shape of the island! It requires level 26 to start, and you can trade it between players. There's a really fun story with pirates and lost treasures, complete with a variety of in-adventure quests. It is a step-by-step adventure where you have to take out the bandit camps in a given order because they're blocking the way.
Send out your Explorers on short and medium length searches for a chance to play this awesome experience!

01.03.2013New Segment: GM Island Showcase!
Over the months, we have heard many requests from players who would like to see the BB Team's islands. Since this seems like a really fun and awesome idea, we're starting a new segment, "GM Island Showcase," where we'll highlight a part of one our team's islands! Every other Friday, starting today, a different section of a BB Island will be posted. Sometimes it'll be silly, other times decorations... maybe even an elusive production chain or two!
This week highlights BB_Mistapink's island! The ever elusive and quiet BB_Mistapink has a knack for decoration, don't you think? We love the play of colors with red flowers against the green Noble Houses. Or...something like that. That sounds like something a interior designer would say, right?

24.02.2013Screenshot of the Week
This week's Screenshot of the Week winner is Manzar, who has made it very clear to the unconquered portions of their island where they stand. Any attempts at entering must go through the dreaded Entry Gate, complete with fire and menacing gargoyles. We wouldn't want to mess with that gate!
