Wrath Unleashed – Roar of the 8 coins

Wrath Unleashed – Roar of the 8 coins

From 21 July to 17 September on 8 coins LA’s on Arkadia with 0% tax during the event.

enragedposter.png

In the vast expanse of the 8 Coins area on Planet Arkadia, a troubling situation unfolded.

Unbeknownst to the colonists, the notorious Smugglers of Arkadia had meddled with the delicate balance of nature, altering the behavior of two formidable creatures: the Scoria and the Teladon. These once-stoic beings had become monstrously aggressive, attacking anything that dared to move within their vicinity.

News of the escalating threat quickly spread throughout Arkadia, raising alarm and concern among the colonists. It was clear that urgent action was needed to prevent further chaos and safeguard the lives of both humans and native creatures. A call echoed across the planet, summoning brave souls from all walks of life to rally together and face this unprecedented challenge.

Colonists, hunters, and adventurers from far and wide answered the call, uniting under a common purpose. They formed a courageous task force, pledging to restore peace to the 8 Coins area and find a solution to the altered behavior of these once noble creatures. Armed with determination, weapons, and their unwavering spirit, they set forth to confront the enraged Scoria and Teladon.

Days turned into weeks as the brave colonists ventured deep into the heart of the affected region. Battles were fought with ferocious intensity, as the Scoria and Teladon unleashed their newfound aggression upon the valiant defenders. The colonists fought tooth and nail, employing their skills and expertise to subdue the raging creatures and protect one another.

Despite the hardships faced, the unity among the colonists remained unyielding. They established temporary camps, sharing resources and knowledge, strategizing and refining their approach. Scientists and researchers worked tirelessly, studying the altered creatures, seeking clues to reverse the effects inflicted upon them by the Smugglers.

Slowly but steadily, progress was made. Observations and data revealed the subtle changes the smugglers had implemented, offering glimpses of a possible antidote to restore the creatures’ original temperaments. Meanwhile, the colonists continued to defend the area, ensuring the safety of all who ventured nearby.

Word spread across Arkadia of the courageous efforts taking place in the 8 Coins area.

Inspired by the colonists’ resilience and determination, more individuals flocked to aid in the cause. Their combined strength and unwavering resolve created a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to a brighter future.

Enraged Scoria a creature of fiery origins,was once a formidable entity roaming the land. However, the sinister hand of the Smugglers of Arkadia has tampered with its behavior, transforming it into a raging force. Its once balanced temperament has been completely altered, fueling its relentless fury and untamed aggression.
The creature now possesses an insatiable appetite for destruction, unleashing its blazing wrath upon anyone who crosses its path. Beware the Enraged Scoria , for its altered state makes it an even deadlier threat, driven by an unquenchable rage that knows no bounds.

Arkadia Moon Deed

By | Anouncement | No Comments

moondeed

Hi Everyone,

The moon has seen a great amount of activity since the rise of the smuggler’s main headquarters located in a secure yet hidden location. With the next update looming around the corner we are giving a few updates on the progress of the moon.

Firstly, as requested by many players, there is around 18% of the deeds left for purchase from the web store. Some players have really gone above and beyond to get their hands on a small stack of them and we thank you.

If you haven’t purchased any deeds yet or wish to purchase more – Click Here

Content (Current and Future)

Now as explained beforehand, PTECH has a presence on the moon and since Planet Arkadia is a treasure-hunting planet, we have hidden quite a few easter eggs around the planet. We found that we have hidden them a bit too well for players to find so we are going to make it a bit easy next update and move them to locations that players can find with ease. We will later increase the difficulty of finding them as more updates come in the future. There will be a collection of PTECH Missions coming in the next update that will enable you to start collaborating with them on their expedition to discover the hidden mysteries of the Arkadia Moon but I must warn you, dangers linger around each and every corner so choose your side carefully.

Now the smugglers have also shown a great interest in the moon, much like the time when they were in the Underground shutting down the Sal’deresh Instances to loot their Arkoins and hidden treasures. I would recommend that you start investigating what they are in mind (Also an Easter Egg) but be warned that once you hold the key to their plans, you will know without a fraction of a doubt what is to come and might regret what you will have to do.

IFN, we haven’t forgotten about you, your time to shine will be sooner than expected.

The Arkadia Moon is key to old history, it has secrets hidden all over to explain what really happened in the past but then again, all you have to do is but look up to the heavens and ask yourself, what is that in the distance?

Planet Arkadia Update – Release 16.1.

By | Anouncement | No Comments

Hey everyone,

We have focused content surrounding the moon, and we have introduced quite a few extra hunting missions including a small expansion pack to the smuggler storyline.
The most important of them all is that We have activated a direct TP from the Moon to Arkadia for the price of 7PED.
Now let me give a breakdown of the content being released in this update.

Missions

New Level 4 & 5 Iron Missions

Creatures

  • Oompa Warhounds
  • GMC_03_Gammas
  • Oompas
  • Sicarius Brutes
  • Sicarius Commands
  • Sicarius Workers


Please also note that spawns have changed a bit. Happy hunting…

There is new story-driven content for Smugglers and for PTECH Industries. Keep in mind these are hidden, so you will have to look for them, but the reward is worth it. This is only part 1 of 4, so many more missions are coming in the next update.

Smuggler Missions

The smugglers have now opened one of their HQs to members who joined their ranks and proved themselves. You will be required to discover an agent that is watching the movements of the cities but is hidden somewhere on the moon. They will tell you what you need to do to get your access pass to enter HQ. Keeping in mind that this HQ is well hidden, only those who are worthy will be able to enter.

Once you gain access to the smugglers, you will be able to see the start of a completely new storyline that will hint at what they have been up to and require you to obtain a certain series of items to be able to get the Smuggler Hazmat suit. This suit will be required for a deep undercover mission. Discover it and find out what lays ahead. There might be a backpack hidden in there somewhere, but it depends… if you answer correctly… Ned will be watching.

Civilian Missions

The communications on the moon have had some serious issues of tampering and weathering. PTECH needs your help in repairing the connection and discovering the issues. You will be required to report to the PTECH engineer located at the communication center in assisting them in discovering what might be the problem.

PTECH will also require you to assist in helping with the repairs of the extractors but be warned, it might be a bit radio active but hey, nobody complains about extra body parts right?
Rewards

There are a good collection of rewards to be obtained when you complete the missions.

  • Hunting Mission Rewards – Skill rewards are to be discovered
  • Smuggler Rewards / Possible location
  • Something hidden, happy hunting…


Events
Oratan Attacks are back
Intel has shown that the Oratan have started to move around the bases and plan attacks that will happen randomly, so be prepared, their attacks are as savage as their nature


ALERT – Smugglers have moved from the Underground to the Moon.

*****
Bidding Rules

  • Bids will only be accepted in Arkoins.
  • Minimum bid increment 1000 Arkoins.
  • Any items other than Arkoins (eg PED) will be deemed invalid. 

     

     

    For the item being auctioned:

    • There will be no buyout bid amount
    • For the first four (4) weeks, the auction will remain open.
    • After the first four weeks, the auction will then end when a bid remains the top bid for a period of 48 hrs
    • Such a 48 hr period will be taken to have begun no earlier than four (4) weeks after the auction thread is published
    • The winner is required to contact Dylan | Arkadia to arrange for trade or collection of auctioned items said item will be delivered at five (5) percent (%) tt value, within one week of the end of the auction.
    • If the winner of the auction fails to collect their award within the aforementioned one week of the end of the auction, the item will be awarded to the next highest bidder.
  • The potential issue has been raised that somebody could bid a million bajillion Arkoins that they don’t have, with the plan of winning the auction, not claiming their prize, and having the prize go to their friend, the second bidder with a very small bid.
    • This is a great point, and we appreciate it having been raised.
    • Arkadia Studios will at its discretion check that interesting bids are backed by an actual Arkoin balance.
    • Arkadia Studios will announce a bid to be invalid on such grounds if deemed necessary.
    • Please note, “million bajillions” is not a real number, though legitimate attempts to bid this high are of course encouraged.
    • Bidders must have the Arkoins in their possession as spot checks will be made by Arkadia Studios/Mindark
  • To avoid potential confusion, all bidders must ensure that their full in-game avatar name is visible by stating it in the actual bid post with the amount of Arkoins that they are bidding with.
