IGG is definitely keeping Zu Online alive for its citizens, and the next fun-filled event set on the mountains is enough proof. This time, game masters will get their share of fun as players try to cash in on their Wan Mountain caravan trips. For more details, head to the full article.

 

Recently, Blizzard Entertainment sponsored a World of Warcraft Robin Hood screenshot contest to coincide with the BBC series' DVD release in the U.S. The screenshots were sent in and now the fifteen winners were announced.

The winners range from the humorous to the generous. Asden for example, gave two gold instead of just one while trading. Hunter Wakkenhood named his pet boar "FryerTusk" while Robin Troll goes around stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Nikkien gives alms to a beggar, saying, "Dude, open trade."

Anyway, the rest of the fifteen winners are posted on the official World of Warcraft website. They won a Robin Hood Genuine Pewter Tankard (we're sure Vaneras from the WoW Europe Forums is jealous) and the Robin Hood: Season One DVD. Congratulations to the winners!

   

 

Steal from the rich, give to the poor.

You probably know whose motto that is. It belongs to Robin Hood, the outlaw with a heart of gold. Blizzard Entertainment is sponsoring a contest in connection to the BBC series "Robin Hood". Interested players will have to commit acts of kindness. No, they aren't just going to take your word for it. The unwritten World of Warcraft rule applies: screenshot or it didn't happen. What's in it for you? Well, winners get a copy of the "Robin Hood: Season One" DVD and a Robin Hood Genuine Pewter Tankard (worth about US$ 120).

The contest ends on June 8, upon which time, 15 winners will be chosen. The contest is open to U.S. residents (except for those in Florida and Rhode Island), ages 13 and up.

Better bust out your kind giving hearts the next time you play WoW (does beggars in Ironforge ring a bell?). For the rest of the rules and where to submit them screenshots, you can click the Read link below. Good luck!

Acclaim, developer of the greatly anticipated Asian martial-arts MMORPG, 9 Dragons, has released nine new screenshots. These images depict one of the clans, known as the Brotherhood of Thieves (though judging from a couple of them, there's a few sisters in there as well).

Clans in 9 Dragons are similar to guilds and are quite diverse. They range from the all-female Sacred Flower Clan to the males-only Shaolin clan of Buddhist monks who strive to avoid killing and shedding blood (although breaking an opponent's bones is apparently OK). There is also a League of Beggars and a clan known as the Wu-Tang, who function as the Emperor's eyes and ears.

The Brotherhood of Thieves was ancient China's answer to those fine Saxon brigands of Sherwood Forest, who fought and stole from corrupt tax collectors and used the proceeds to feed the poor. They have, sadly become less like Robin Hood and more like Tony Soprano in recent days (*sigh*...) Still - and perhaps perversely - their traditional farewell phrase is "Take what you will, share what you can!"
