Ruin Online met its schedule to launch the third and fourth beta tests in two months. And they also released some beta screenshots for us. What makes me surprised is that the screenshots are.... errrr....a naked kung fu show.

End of BETA3

Now at the end of BETA3 we have tracked many of the bugs and suggestions from the testers, many of which have already been fixed and added.

Final focus in BETA3 is scheduled gameplay times to promote more players at once for group PvP testing.

This will also allow us to ?Stress Test" the servers before the next phase begins.

BETA4 Preview

Next phase of BETA we will see many new features:

New characters
Our new characters are near completion and ready to kick some butt! BETA4 will feature new base male and female characters, better customization and more wearable items.

new combat moves
Work has begun on a complete, accurate and easy to use melee combat system. This sytem is more like fighting games than what we are used to in mmo?s. Duel weilding, strikes with either hand or foot, directional blocking, special attacks - all in a FPS combat system with full collision. No special conditions are needed to fight...anyone, ever. Its a full PvP/Friendly fire environment, 24/7.

newb quests
Basic equipment and combat training quests will be added. We are also considering a newb zone/portal for easy loading and very basic gameplay training.

performance enhancements
Server boxes are undergoing an upgrade to include more zones and increased performance.

Even more
Many other features will be seen in the coming Phase, too many to mention, log in and see for yourself!
