Celebrate 15 Years of NosTale
Gameforge — the leading publisher of popular free-to-play multiplayer online games including AION, Metin2, and Swords of Legends Online — prepared a haunting ghoul-d time for the spookiest month of the year! We’ve got NosTale and OGame celebrating major anniversaries with big events, AION, Metin2, and SOLO in the holiday spirit, and I See Red preparing to drape a vermillion cloak across PC screens. There are no tricks here, so enjoy all of Gameforge’s treats!
Congratulations, all you NosTale players, for helping the game hit a major milestone! Naturally, Gameforge is celebrating with all sorts of special events. A new Battle Pass is in effect until November 2, with a celebratory Gloopy Cake, an 11th Anniversary Costume (Permanent), and a chance to get an anniversary-themed title.
Until November 2, The Great Collector’s Event is also running to honor the N, O, S, Y, E, A, R. If you collect those letters and the number 15 as you play, you’ll be able to get special prizes from Mimi Mentor. If you get N, O, and S, you can refill Specialist points. Grab Y, E, A, R, and 15, and you’ll get a 15th Anniversary Buff to increase your HP and MP by 10% for 53 minutes. The best reward comes if you get every letter and the number, as the 15th Anniversary Medal reward increases your attack and defense by 10% and makes you and your NosMates earn 10% more experience for 15 days.
There’s also a hint of things to come. Gameforge is offering players a chance to tell the story of four new specialists who will join NosTale later in 2022. The ten top authors will get the “Wordsmith” title and rewards like a Baby Panda for helping to introduce the Archer, Mage, Martial Artist, and Swordsman. Some of those same stories will also be used to help craft the quests that introduce each one to the world.
