Even More Season 2 Pictures

The Japanese developers released three more pictures from Season 2 “Splendor Mythos.” These ones are full views of the landscape we’ll get to see. We didn’t get any new information to go with them though, so you’ll just have to guess what they mean.

The Royal Palace

A Quaint City

A Tomb or Dungeon

Snowball Fight!

Are you guys starting to miss me? It’s been too long since I got everyone together in the game, so we’re going to have a big ole snowball fight on Sarturday, February 12th. But you guys know how I do things, we’re going to have plenty of prizes too. It’s going to be a team snowball fighting tournament with prizes for everyone in the top 2 teams.

Registration
If you want to participate, you need to register on the forums with your team name and the people on your team. Each team can only have 3 people on it. You need to register by February the 11th at Noon EST for a guaranteed spot in the tournament. If you show up the day of the tournament without registering ahead of time, you can still play but you’ll be one step in the tournament behind the people who registered before the deadline.

First Place Prize

Wave Ring

All 3 members of the winning team will receive a Wave Ring. The wave ring gives you one diamond gem point, and it also can be used to attack monsters. It shoots out a wave of light that will hurt any monster it hits, and do extra damage against dark elemental monsters. If you win first place, each member of your team is going to get one of these. Accessory and a weapon all in one, pretty cool huh?

Second Place Prize

Silver Sparkle Helmet

All 3 members of the second-place team will receive a Silver Sparkle Helmet. By wearing this around, you can show everyone else how great your team did in the tournament. It’s a very pretty helmet too.

For the full rules, information and registration, check out the full post on the forums.

More Season 2 Pictures

When I posted the last screenshots from Season 2, I promised you I would post some more, so here they are. We also got a couple of hints about Season 2 with the pictures. First is the name of Season 2. The Japanese name is “Splendor Mythos” which doesn’t make a lot of sense in English, so it’s hard to say what the English name will be. There will be new dungeons and the game will still use dice. However, Season 2 will use new dice. They also revealed that the man in the palace will give out quests.

This first one looks like it’s the same dragon’s egg seen here. I think the dragon will play a big part in Season 2’s storyline.

A mysterious egg

The second picture is another palace. If you look at the color of the stairs, you can see that this is a different palace than the other screenshots.

A mysterious person with quests

The last two screenshots show some of the new monsters. It seems like the art style has developed a little since Season 1.

Crab Monsters and a Slime Monster

Mushroom Monsters

Are you getting excited yet?

Create the Legend Writing Contest

Check out the first event of 2011 on the forums. The goal is to tell the story of one of Org and Yun’s adventures, specifically about one of the towers. If you don’t know Org and Yun’s story (and the reason all of the puppets exist), it may not make a lot of sense. Basically, Org created the towers from his memories adventuring with Yun, and we want you to fill in the blanks and tell us the whole story of one of the towers.

The prizes include the Pale Shining Axe, the Pale Shining Helmet, and the Whirlpool Shield. The Pale Shining Axe contains 1 sapphire magic and is imbued with the Water element, making it very effective against fire monsters like the Salamander.

There is a 500 word limit, which means your story has to be shorter than 500 words. The deadline is January 30th, so get cracking!
