It's supposed to be released next year and they will show some of it at E3 coming up, I think 38 is going to need to step up marketing now. Even if this isn't released next year and is delayed attention will always be drawn to it.

The Elder Scrolls Online Coming Next Year

Bethesda will release a massively multiplayer online version of its popular The Elder Scrolls series next year for PC and Mac, Game Informer reports today.
Set a millennium before the events of Bethesda's last The Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online will take place across all of Tamriel during a time when daedric prince Molag Bal is wreaking havoc on the realm. The game will feature three player factions and PvP combat. Presumably you'll be able to travel across the entire world of The Elder Scrolls—Game Informer mentions recurring areas Elsweyr, Skyrim, and Cyrodiil as locations in the MMORPG.

"We have been working hard to create an online world in which players will be able to experience the epic Elder Scrolls universe with their friends, something fans have long said they wanted," director Matt Firor said in a press release. Firor previously worked on fantasy MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot. "It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years. The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made – and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise."

This is the first project from developer ZeniMax Online Studios, which was founded in 2007.

Rumors earlier this year suggested that The Elder Scrolls Online would be unveiled this May and that Bethesda would show more about its upcoming MMO at this year's E3 gaming conference. An earlier rumor also suggested that the game's three factions are represented by a lion, a dragon, and a bird of prey.

Game Informer promises more details in its upcoming June issue, which goes on sale next week.

Pelirow and I found the entrance to The End and will have it repaired very soon. We'd like to invite everyone who's interested to come on a raid with us to kill the Ender Dragon!

If you'd like to come along, let us know some times that work for you. Pelirow lives in Japan so it might be something we should shoot for doing on a weekend. I'm guessing early morning or late at night in the USA.

For those who'd like to attend, you might want to make yourself some gear beforehand. We have enchanting and brewing stations set up in the Black Tower. Feel free to use them. I'll take care of supplying all the food we'll need.

Hope to see you at the raid! ]]> First Watch Rek http://www.38watch.com/forums/showthread.php?2747-First-Watch-Ender-Dragon-Raid Unique Armor Sets - Sorcery http://www.38watch.com/forums/showthread.php?2745-Unique-Armor-Sets-Sorcery&goto=newpost Wed, 02 May 2012 01:55:29 GMT "Unique Armor Sets are gold items that give you additional bonuses for every piece of the set that you wear.

House of Ballads

The armor set worn by the House of Ballads Knights (War Bards), guardians of ancient secrets beyond mortal understanding. This set must be acquired and then worn in order to pass the Wall of Thorns into Summer's End and complete the House of Ballads faction quest. It has no Ability requirements, thus enabling all character types to equip the set.

Unvanquished Armor Set

The Unvanquished armor set is a very special treasure to be found in Reckoning. Except for the Ergel's Luxurious Legwear -- which is truly special as it is the only pair of mage "pants" in the game -- all items are borrowed from other unique armor piece (purple) sets (which is why they have a gold name). Similar to unique armor sets, though, the Unvanquished armor set grants you special bonuses the more pieces of the set that you equip.

*NOTE* - Gem Cutting Handwraps can be worn by any character, aka JOAT type - acquired by giving Donnel Cutty's Ring to Anker Edmure upon completing and exiting the Shardfall quest (Donnel Cutty's Ring is found inside Shardfall on Donnel Cutty's corpse).

"Scattered throughout the world of Amalur are numerous powerful and extremely rare items that you can obtain if you are lucky enough. All of these items have their own unique design to set them apart from the standard things you can find, and more often than not they also come with far better additional effects and bonuses than normal items as well. While you can acquire some of these items, you get others as rewards for completing specific objectives in various quests. The majority, though, can only be found as loot from defeated enemies or from chests." ~ The Official Guide to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Unique Jewelry Accessories

Editor's Note - In addition to wearing armor, your character can also accessorize by wearing two rings and one necklace. Rings and necklaces offer a wide variety of additional status upgrades and effects, and none are more powerful than the unique accessories. ]]> WatchWiki Discussion UNB0UND http://www.38watch.com/forums/showthread.php?2743-Unique-Jewelry-Accessories Unique Armor Pieces - Sorcery http://www.38watch.com/forums/showthread.php?2741-Unique-Armor-Pieces-Sorcery&goto=newpost Tue, 01 May 2012 22:01:01 GMT _*Common, Uncommon, and Rare Armor *_COTTON Image: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i67/CoHandCoV/Amalur/Cotton_Armor.png LINEN Image:...

Unique Armor Pieces

"Unlike the other unique items that you can find, armor comes in two different varieties: Pieces and Sets. The Unique Armor Pieces are purple items that, although form a matching set visually, provide no additional bonus for wearing the complete set. This allows you to mix and match different pieces to give yourself the exact combination of effects and bonuses that you want." ~ The Official Guide to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Unique Talismans

"Like the Unique Weapons, these Talismans often provide far superior defensive powers than normal shields, with many of them providing high bonuses to your total armor value. The strongest of these shields can ever help increase your offensive capabilities by giving you additional Ability points for the different Destinies." ~ The Official Guide to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Chapter 1 - Finneas and the Sign

Finneas Arkemedis squinted as his hand moved up to shield his eyes from the afternoon sun as he exited his small home. While it was not uncommon for him to take these small journeys out into the village, the sun never failed to assault him as if he were a bear stepping out of a cave after a long hibernation.

Closing the door behind him he slowly made his way into the road and towards the market. He was somewhat anxious to get provisions for his bare cupboards and return to his shelter where he could once again be free from the prying eyes of his fellow villagers.

That is not to say that Finneas held any sort of ill will towards the men and women he now found himself surrounded by, nor was he of a paranoid sort. The fact of the matter is that he simply felt as if he did not belong. The seemingly quiet life in a small settlement was a far cry from life in a large city, with so many sights, sounds, and wonders to behold. It had been decades since he suddenly resigned from his position to pursue what now seemed like a fool’s errand.

If only he had written that damned vision off to bad shellfish or something of similar nature he would likely at this very moment still be enjoying his silk sheets and tailored clothes rather than trudging to the market to haggle over the price of dead chickens. Oh, how he longed for intellectually stimulating conversation. What had once been challenging debates over alchemy ingredients or sagecraft components had regressed to such mundane topics as how much rain was likely to fall on a given day.

In his mind's eye, he could still recall the vision. Images that had ingrained feelings of such utmost importance that if he did not act on them, he was afraid the consequences would be dire. And act he had, "but for what?" he thought to himself. Year after year had passed and the sign that was promised had yet to come. Meanwhile the images from the vision remained, unshakable and tormenting. It was all he could do to cling to his sanity. Or had he? He smiled as he made his way down the path entering to the market square. Perhaps he had finally cracked and was quite insane.

At least that would explain the whispers he heard every time he made an appearance outside of his small dwelling, "There goes that Crazy Old Gnome".

While it is true that at this stage Finneas' age would be difficult to determine, the years he has spent studying and instructing others in the use of magic has taken its toll on his small body. His slow gait, thinning hair, poor eyesight, wrinkles and scars were more the result of the abuse he had taken from the powers of the arcane elements rather than time. This led others to assume incorrectly that his age was more advanced than it truly was. His hearing and especially sharp wit were quite intact, well for the most part.
That left only his grasp on sanity able to be questioned. A perception that the elderly looking Gnome did not particularly help by constantly muttering under his breath his disdain for the station he currently found himself in. Cursing his past choices while also subconsciously thinking aloud, attempting to solve his problems both past and present.

As Finneas stepped into the market his body suddenly froze as if he were encased in an invisible block of ice, unable to even blink. Time seemed to slow dramatically as all around him merchants, vendors and customers alike moved almost imperceptibly. His vision then seemed to darken and his surroundings slowly faded from view. He then felt a hum emanating from in front and slightly to the right. As his eyes were drawn towards the sound his vision was overcome by an impossibly bright light from an object in a sales cart. For a brief moment the light caused searing pain, his eyes burning intensely in their sockets

As fast as the phenomenon had started it was gone. The market square was once again bustling with activity as Finneas stood there dumbfounded and trying to collect his bearings. As he caught his breath, he is finally able to mutter a few words, "the sign! It's finally here!" With a start he makes his way towards the cart as fast as his short hobbled legs can carry him. ]]> Amalur Fan Contribution Myalzalean http://www.38watch.com/forums/showthread.php?2740-Humble-Beginnings-An-Origin-Story-set-in-Amalur-s-Age-of-Heroes
