While <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/38-studios/">38 Studios'</a> top-secret <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/copernicus/"><em>Project Copernicus</em></a> MMO lacks a proper title or most of its details, at least we can now visit the world that it and its single-player RPG brother, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/kingdoms-of-amalur/"><em>Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning</em></a>, inhabits.<br />
<br />
The studio launched a pair of websites devoted to the game world and its first game today. Over on <a href="http://www.amalur.com/">Amalur</a>, 38 Studios has unleashed its loremasters to share with you the stories, features, histories, and settings of this fantasy landscape. And while <em>Reckoning</em> is just a prequel to the eventual MMO, <a href="http://reckoning.amalur.com/en/">its website</a> contains quite a few lore snippets as well as a world map to pour over while you're planning your future conquests.<br />
<br />
As part of the twin projects, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/r.a.-salvatore/"><span class="articleText">R.A. Salvatore</span></a> has created over 10,000 years of fictional history for the world of Amalur, stretching from The Deep Gloam to the Age of Heroes. <em>Reckoning </em>takes place during the Age of Arcana, with <em>Copernicus </em>happening some time thereafter.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11/08/38-studios-opens-a-website-portal-to-project-copernicus-world/">38 Studios opens a website portal to Project Copernicus' world</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 08 Nov 2011 12:30:00 EST.

We're often asked here on Massively about what makes one start-up F2P MMO different from the others. What's the "hook," so to speak? Well, with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/dragonsoul/"><em>DragonSoul</em></a> the hook is easy to identify because the hook is dripping with blood and gore. It's a tad adult-oriented, let's just say.<br />
<br />
This PvP MMO with political underpinnings has reached two milestones today. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/neonga-ag/">Neonga AG</a> has opened <a href="http://www.dragonsoulonline.com/en/start/">the official <em>DragonSoul</em> website</a> and released the first trailer for the game (which features plenty of white blood splatter). There's plenty of information about the game that's posted on the site, including several (but not all) of the classes, screenshots, game systems, and community networking. There's even a place for you to register for the upcoming beta program.<br />
<br />
You can watch the SFW trailer after the jump and get a feel for what might make <em>DragonSoul</em> stand out from the crowd.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11/03/dragonsoul-pries-a-website-and-trailer-out-of-its-opponents-col/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>DragonSoul pries a website and trailer out of its opponent's cold, dead hands</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11/03/dragonsoul-pries-a-website-and-trailer-out-of-its-opponents-col/">DragonSoul pries a website and trailer out of its opponent's cold, dead hands</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 03 Nov 2011 12:30:00 EST.

For those in the audience looking forward to <em><a href="http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/">Dungeon Fighter Online</a></em>, you may wish to know that the upcoming Nexon game has launched their own website, along with a guide to the game and a <a href="http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/News/View.aspx?boardNo=101&amp;contentNo=005cw&amp;pageIndex=1">new initiative called "DFO Corps."</a><br /><br />DFO Corps will consist of a handful of fans of the game writing about issues and news in the game via the official website, letting the community control what they want to hear about the game. The initiative seems to be very close to <em><a href="http://www.eveonline.com">EVE Online</a></em>'s <a href="http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp">Interstellar Correspondents</a> project, where players volunteer time to write up brief news stories about their sections of the galaxy for the rest of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eve-online"><em>EVE</em></a> community.<br /><br /><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/dungeon-fighter-online"><em>Dungeon Fighter Online</em></a> has also moved into a "early access" beta, where any player may sign up and retrieve a key from 1up.com or Gamespot.com. If you're interested in trying the game out, <a href="http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/Promo/RedeemCode.aspx">full instructions can be found here</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/15/dungeon-fighter-online-gets-its-own-website/">Dungeon Fighter Online gets its own website</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:00:00 EST.

The <a href="http://www.warcry.com/news/view/81596-Cryptic-Studios-New-Website-Forums-for-Champions-Online-Opens">WarCry Network is reporting</a> this morning that <a href="http://www.crypticstudios.com/">Cryptic Studios</a> (the original development company that created <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-heroes/"><em>City of Heroes</em></a>) has launched a new website and associated forums for their <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/15/rumor-champions-onlines-table-top-roots-confirmed/">recently announced</a> <em><a href="http://www.champions-online.com/">Champions Online</a></em> superhero MMO. Additionally, Hero Games (creators of the tabletop RPG which the MMO is based on), will release a new (6th) edition to coincide with <em>Champions Online</em>.<br /><br />Scanning through the website and screen shots (see the one above) - I'm loving the cell shaded look! Being a big time <em>CoX </em>fan myself -- I can't wait to give <em>Champions</em> a spin!  <a href="http://www.champions-online.com/">Check out the site</a> and then let us know if you think there's room for another superhero MMO. Do you like what you see (real time fighting!!)?  Do you think they'll make their Spring '09 launch date?
