Alter Aeon Dungeons and Dragons Campaign

Hope you’re having a great summer so far! Our highly anticipated next big game event is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 19th. The main questline will center around the origins of the Order of the White Knights and will feature several single player zones. The event also heralds the return of two exclusive event areas with their own unique challenges. The Puzzlewood Mire is intended for high level players and throws wave after wave of monsters of increasing strength at participants. The other is Starving Rock, an area for players of all levels where the goal is to slay as any monsters as possible. We will also have a special bonus class available to those who complete event quests. (This event is based on our recently concluded D&D campaign dramatizations, see below for a link.) Much effort has been put into balancing mob saving throws in the past month, making them scale better with level and having each saving throw interact more fairly with other saving throws when determining a mob’s overall strength. Our builders continue to construct the Mire of Madness, a level 44 group 15 zone for the Nightmare Plane, and a new island is schedule to be built for Gianasi. There has also been progress on a new level 38 zone for the Isle of Naginag. A lot of effort will directed into the upcoming event, but, as usual, there are plans for some small improvements such as upgrading doors, adding more music and more features for future events. For more information, please refer to our latest Youtube update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epx7h962I30 For more lore concerning our upcoming event, we invite you to listen to our D&D dramatization playlist, found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZDGmdMw-47FBTkYTloMwRMl2af_7ixnR
