Spellborn Readies for Release; Reveals PvP, Fame and Class Details

The Chronicles of Spellborn is gearing up for release and revealing enticing details on PvP servers, the Fame system and Classes to whet gamers’ appetites.

Players that relish PvP now have their own TCOS servers free of carebears. Spellborn released the following details in a recent press release.

On the PvP servers, all regions will be enabled for PvP at the exception of Hawksmouth, Aldenvault (being the starting areas) and the major cities. An extension of that PvP immunity to villages will be subject to feedback from the current closed beta tests. Spellborn NV has already implemented a PvP cave in Aldenvault for all types of servers, purely designed for PvP, where players can engage in fights at low level. Other caves and mines where players can gather resources will remain PvP and free-for-all areas for both PvP and PvE flagged servers as well. Generally, the final PvP rules are currently tested on the beta servers and will be adjusted depending on the feedback from the beta community.

There’s a PvP FAQ on the web site if you have more specific questions.

Spellborn has tweaked the fame system which replaces experience in other MMOs. Players will find that although more fame points can be earned through questing or aiding others in their quests, the amount of fame awarded for killing MOBs has been increased. The warrior sub-class named “Furyhammer” has seen some changes as well. The nerfs made to the “Furyhammer” over time have taken the class in a direction that doesn’t fit the intended feel and Lore anymore. Spellborn has chucked the “Furyhammer” altogether for the new “Adept” which is a warrior class that emphasizes agility.

The Chronicles of Spellborn website will be relaunching before the end of September. Watch for more complete details on the “Adept” and other changes leading up to the release of TCOS.

I’m really looking forward to playing TCOS specifically because of the complex combat system. It takes the standard MMO mechanics and makes fighting a challenge again. Every MMO’s got grind, but you should at least have fun while you’re at it. Spellborn is still taking sign ups for the beta if you want to get in on the action.
