"While we wait for the Beta to be ready (announcement on this to come soon!), here’s a bit of a development update on City of Steam.
A lot of new things coming up for the Beta… a lot. One of the big ones? Why, a little thing we’ve been mulling over for a while now: Wilderness instances.
“But Mechanist,” we hear you say. “Don’t we already have ‘wilderness’ instances in places like the Dustyard and Scraphills?”"
City of Steam: Arkadia is a 3D industrial age fantasy MMORPG, the debut Unity3D-based MMO from Mechanist Games. It transports players to a world where clockworks, steam power, and arcane technologies suffuse every aspect of existence, from the half-organic, half-mechanical dwarves to the giant gears of the World Machine itself.
To celebrate the launch of yet more servers, N4G is giving away CoS: Arkadia code packs!
Cat writes. "3D industrial age fantasy MMORPG City of Steam: Arkadia is going live on December 4, 9 PM EST, along with new systems, new content and more.
"After breaking ties to publisher R2 Games, the developer Mechanist has made huge changes to the game and is now self-publishing under the title City of Steam: Arkadia. To celebrate, we're giving out Growth Pack codes!"
City of Steam launched to both social and critical acclaim with its intense dungeon-crawling approach to the steam punk theme but that success was short-lived thanks to issues with overseas publishers. Since that time the game had to close for several weeks as Mechanist Games worked on the official relaunch, City of Steam: Arkadia.
