News Bullets 19 January 2011

There is so much going on with AQW that I have to make a bulleted list! Yay!

• Battle Under, Level 3, is coming this week.
• Unlimited bank space is getting closer to being released.
• With unlimited bank space comes the Limited Shops. Once the shop sells out of an item, it's gone forever.
• EpicDuel T-shirts are on their way to the Secret Underground Lab. Rare Delta V armors come with them.
• Artix is getting ready to release the AQW collectible card game! Hopefully a new class comes with it. Launched at Toys-r-Us in March.
• The AE team is focusing resources on AQW which is why HeroSmash is stalling. Looks like skills might come out in HS late-February.
• Cheese-themed items from the Black Market dealer!
• Finished my AQW potions (and scrolls and foods) page.
• Put finishing touches on the HeroSmash page. It's all done for now. No need to update it until next month.

HeroSmash Update

I got to play HeroSmash the second it was released and got the name I wanted! Here are some points in a super-bulleted list:

• The short-cut keys from AdventureQuest Worlds work in HS. V= display health, U= users, 1= attack, etc.
• The "/join" command also works. /join park, /join mainstreet, etc.
• There are some shops and quests to play around with.
• I haven't encountered any major bugs since las night. Makes me kind of nervous...

For more information, check the unofficial HeroSmash wiki, which is starting to be populated.

Check in with you later!

Holy schnit, Manbat! HeroSmash and Cataclysm on the same night!

I'm doing two things right now- reloading the HeroSmash page for updates from Artix and watching Cataclysm load on my PC. What to do? I guess World of Warcraft can wait for a while. I'm going to get my awesome super or villain name.

Come on come on!

HeroSmash Alpha Today!

Artix is gearing up for the HS Alpha test. He is posting play-by-plays on the HeroSmash page so you can enjoy all the excitement of server crashes, coding errors, and superlag!

The HS forums is now running.

So excited!

HeroSmash Alpha Tomorrow!

Phase one of HeroSmash Alpha starts tomorrow night. Everyone who supports AE games will be able to create a character and pick their name. Sometime after, 1,500 lucky AdventureQuest Worlds members will be able to play the game!

I'm not hopeful that I'll be one of those players. There are millions of AQW mems and the odds of getting into the game are really slim. Hopefully, really late that night, I'll be able to join.
