Cockpit, Austin, TX. December 10, 2007. Gamecock Media Group and Auran Games
today announced a new Free to Download, Free to Play option for their fast paced
arena combat game FURY. The new business model will begin with the release of
the first major free content update "Age of the Chosen" on December 14,
2007.
"FURY was built around giving players options that suit their play style and
their wallet," said Tony Hilliam, CEO of Auran. "With the AotC update, we are
introducing a new player category called "Chosen". As one of the Chosen, players
can access all game types, equip all weapons and unlock all 400 abilities and
they can play as much as they like absolutely free. This is a fantastic
opportunity for players to jump into battle with their mates and discover the
frenetic pace of the fastest RPG combat ever. Chosen will earn less gold and
essence, and will not be able to trade with other players."
"Chosen players can purchase game gold from the FURY store or upgrade to
"Hero" status to earn more Essence and Gold. Retail stores sell the "Hero"
status pack, along with a free month of "Immortal" status, so this is 30 value
for the new price of by BlueNews9.99 (in US stores). As a Hero or Immortal
players can unlock abilities faster and purchase better gear, but the matchmaker
then ensures they are playing against other players of similar skill and
rank."
FURY: Age of the Chosen is a massive free content update that introduces two
new game types aimed at the new player. "Carnage" throws two teams into battle
with the aim of returning blood tokens to their base faster than their
opposition. Blood tokens are gained from killing bots, not other players, so the
action is indirect competition rather than head to head. The 1v1 Elimination
game type means games will spawn faster and matches are more evenly
balanced.
