Siege in an all-new way with the Heroes of Gaia: Ascension expansion

Snail Games has officially announced the fourth expansion for its strategy game Heroes of Gaia. Ascension allows players to rise to five new levels of fame, access new cooperative instances, hire temporary mercenaries for castle sieges, and adopt three new command styles for castle development.

However, HoG is not done expanding. As Snail Games USA Director of Operations Mark Hill explains in a resent press release, "This is only the first of two major expansions we have planned for Heroes of Gaia. We have an extremely dedicated group of players on HoG, and we are proud to offer them these new and exciting ways to experience the game."

Let's get real: Who hasn't wanted to own a castle? Now you can, and with the new Ascension expansion, the developers have redesigned the tutorial and an adjusted novice gift pack, which will allow a new player to gain the skills and equipment he needs to compete with more veteran players. Check out all the latest on this and future expansions for Heroes of Gaia on the official website... and have fun storming the castle!

HoG hasn't been the same since the server merges. It seems to be a common theme in many of the F2P cashop driven games. They have rapid expansion in new servers/realms. Players dropoff over time and no one new joins as not to be in a competative disadvantage starting later and when things die out consolidate the servers.

Rinse and repeat till one realm is actually the leftovers of 12 others merges. It happened to HoG it happened to Galaxy Online and quite frankly it got real old after these server merges and content "expansions" that really didn't add much or change up the gameplay at all.
