WarRock to open new server; goes on tour
Barely two weeks after WarRock has started its Open Beta phase, the country’s premier online tactical first person shooter game is already preparing to open a new server very soon to accommodate its growing online community. The new server will be code named “Bravo.” Users can fully transfer their characters to either Alpha or Bravo servers without loss in levels or Dinar, WarRock’s in-game currency.
WarRock’s local publisher Amped Games, formerly known as ABS-CBN Multimedia Inc., expresses their desire to add a new server because of the overwhelming reception that the game has received from the players since its Open Beta last July 6.
“Our alpha server is almost always full or experiencing heavy traffic,” says Amped Games Product Manager Agnes Tapia. “We didn’t really plan to open the ‘Bravo’ server until after a month from now. But since the demand for it came earlier than expected, we’re going to have to do it sooner.”
Developed by Korean company Dream Execution Technology, WarRock is a fresh alternative to the various online role playing games in the country today. It lets the players feel the adrenaline-pumping thrill of modern day warfare in land, air and water. The five character classes can equip and operate various 21st century weaponry. WarRock also features Close Quarters Combat, Urban Ops and Battlegroup, which are the three mission-based game modes that offer different maps to play on and war vehicles to use.
The game has been recently updated with a new map called Xauen for the Close Quarters Combat, and new weapons: Uzi for the medic and engineer, and the M4A1 for the assault. The Nprotect gameguard is also installed to prevent the proliferation of cheaters in the game.
In the upcoming patch of WarRock, the Montana map will already be playable, and two new weapons will be released: the Glock for all classes and the SSG for the scout. Gamers who are already clamoring for the use of air vehicles and item mall release will have to wait until the commercial release of the game.
WarRock has been showing a steady growth in players since its Closed Beta phase and has so far exceeded Amped Games’ expectations in this early stage.
