A fearless foe: The Space Pirates

Space Pirates are well known from the old timers of the System. They come and go were the most loots are to be made. As the Galaxia System expanded and gained in reputation, it is now the target of many thieves and looters. But Space Pirates are much more organized, rankings from Pirate Officers to General Chief Pirate. The Arbitrator are also sharing the knowledge of the Space Pirates’ new found artillery, now mostly composed of the exceptional Ion element.

A call to battle: Engage the ennemy

Prepare for battle, and bring your fleet to combat! All loots found during combat will be yours to keep, with the exception of the basic ingredients used in the Lab, which will be collected for further analysis when the battle is over. The Galaxia System will track all engagement on the battlefield, and will reward the best fleets with rewards and recognition!

The Event will end at an estimated time between Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th, 2011, and will be followed by a Holiday Festival. Non-consumed ingredients (list below) will be vanished from the Galaxia System.

Vanishing ingredient: Elements. Everything else is yours to keep!

The Ancestors are hearing about a Dwarf legion approaching the Empire, and war is soon to be expected from this encounter. The best estimates from the Emperor’s scribes indicate the legion will be marching in the Empire on the 22nd day of the 12th month at 8:00 pm PST.

Dwarfs are not to be underestimated

It is known that dwarves use a very different kind of equipment from Orcs, Humans and Elves. Their strength allow them to wear heavy weaponry and armor. Their spells, while slow, are also known for their exceptional powers. The Dwarf King Khul has a long and complex history with the Phoenix Empire, but it seems this time, power and greed are in the air.

Your mission: protect the Empire

Prepare for battle, and bring your army to combat! As destruction is anticipated in the Empire, you may also be called to restore and contribute to the rebuilding of lost roads and properties. Great rewards and recognition are in store for those who defeat the dwarves and help restore peace into the Empire!

The Event will end between Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd, 2012. Non-consumed ingredients (list below) will be vanished from the Empire.

Vanishing ingredients: Ore, Ingot, Dry Logs, Crushed Stones, Crude Shovel. Everything else is yours to keep!

A few surprises await your army and fleet;  get ready for battle starting Friday 28, 2011 @ midnight PST!

Alchemy is in the air! The Ancestors are seeing a wave of new wicked ingredients appearing in the Empire, and scribes of the Emperor are now locating new recipes to make sense of it all. Prepare your armies as the undead and ghosts roam the empire in search of victims!

Project Galaxia Halloween Event

Following the source of the coming ghostly spectres, Project Galaxia’s top engineers have discovered new equipment that will be of interest to  Andarak, Lephram, Human and Inok’s fleets! They have build the highest technology building in the System, named The Lab, which will be open during this time of hunting. Ready your fleets for exciting loots and haunting good fun throughout the galaxy!

The scholars of the Phoenix Emperor have discovered that the demons was able to enter through the same Moros Gate that elves, humans, and orcs have been using to become spectres!

All armies of the Phoenix Empire are to begin battling the dark forces on Tuesday night, August 2nd at 8pm PST.

Amid the chaos, demons and monsters are joining on the battlefield to reap the rewards of the carnage. They are stealing cakes and other treats from the Emperor, but they also carry with them unique equipment from the Dark Realm.

Collecting Scrolls of Eternity, Chaos Stones, and Demon Blood

The Moros Gate must now be closed so that the demons cannot use it as an entryway. 50,000 Scrolls of Eternity as well as chaos stones and demon blood must be collected and sacrificed in the flame of the Phoenix to permanently lock the gateway. The stolen cakes and summer ales are yours to keep, but the chaos stones, scrolls of eternity, and demon blood will all disappear after the ritual is performed.

The scholars are summoning a new way for the Spectres to be reborn in the Phoenix Empire, once the Moros Gate is sealed!

Special Rewards for Top Contributors and Participants

Warriors of the Phoenix Empire that are top contributors to the tavern collections will receive the following when ranking for each collection:

• 1st place – Gold Trophy, 3 Scroll of Ages, 3 Chaos Stones, 1 Demon Blood Vial
• 2nd place – Silver Trophy, 1 Scroll of Ages, 1 Chaos Stone
• 3rd place – Bronze Trophy, 1 Scroll of Ages
• All ranked players – Golden Phoenix Feather
• All event participants receive 1 skill point

Communications Part

During the Galactic Alignment Festival, there appears to be interference that is causing the communication systems for Project Galaxia to scatter and break. The Galactic Alignment has caused a severe interference in the communication systems of the Laran, Andarak, and Humans. The disturbance is affecting the Galaxia System’s robots and androids, causing them to malfunction and attack fleets.

The disturbance is creating chaos in the Galaxia System and all fleets are being commissioned to help restore communication to normal functionality by collecting any loose parts so that they can be re-integrated with the satellites and beacons.

Any assaults you encounter along the way should be dealt with using full fleet forces. The Arbitrators estimate that at least 50,000 communication parts must be collected and re-integrated with the communication systems in order to restore communications to optimal performance. The Arbitrators have setup a collection location in the Tavern for Fleet Commanders to retrieve the communication parts and deposit them for credit.

Help the Galaxia System recover the communication parts and annihilate the berserk galactic foes.

Your mission will begin at 10:00am PST this Saturday, July 30th.

The features mentioned will still be offered in the expansion, but as a new exciting bonus, we have included:

• New alchemy recipes
• More loots and elite loots
• Improved marketplace and new trade tools.

Just a quick highlight on some of the new game options in addition to new loots, quests, the Spectre race, and monsters:

• With the introduction of relics, you can now purchase trinkets or find rare ones from quests and monsters
• Unlock elite relics by combining alchemy recipes
• New trading system now available for players that have reached level 30
• Items in the marketplace can now be filtered by price

Expansion Official Release Date

The countdown has begun! The expansion for Phoenix Emperor will be released on July 1st, 2011 at 9:00pm, Pacific Standard Time.

There is more to come, and we hope you enjoy the new features added to the Phoenix Empire!

Post Expansion Additional Features Coming Soon!

Shortly after the expansion is released, we will be implementing new functionality for the recruiting and inventory system. These features include the following:

• Recruiting back will be no longer necessary — it will be automatically mutual.
• You will be able to easily report player harassment or abusive language with a comment or profile reporting feature.

Special Loots

Exciting loots and interesting surprises await participants as the festivities begin!

Friday the 13th festivities will start the evening before Friday the 13th PST.

The Phoenix Empire will be experiencing a great shift in power soon. The expansion is still in the works, but already we’ve made progress in the new features, loots, quests, monsters, equipment types, and a brand new race to be welcomed by the Phoenix Emperor.

The defeat of the Dark Lord has created a great disturbance in the empire, and sacrifices must be made by elite warriors seeking to battle on a whole new plane of existence, unlocking new features, loots, and special quests!

New Race of the Phoenix Empire

We’re changing the way the Phoenix Empire levels will work while introducing a new race to the Phoenix Empire. In order to unlock the new race of “Spectre,” warriors must complete perilous quests, acquiring the needed ingredients for a ritual that will allow them to shed the shell of their former selves and awaken into a level 10 Spectre.

Spectres will see the empire in a whole different way and will even have a spectral glow that makes them stand out among all other warriors. Any warrior that levels up to meet the minimum requirements to become a Spectre can perform the ritual and ascend to a new powerful form that includes new racial bonuses, secret Spectre-only quests and monsters, as well as rare loots that can only be acquired by Spectres (but will be tradable in the Marketplace).

As a Spectre, you can still maintain relations with your previous army. We will soon be implementing a new recruit system that makes it so that armies are a mutual agreement, no longer requiring recruit backs — once you join forces with another warrior, the pact will be mutual.

Spectre Bonuses

Special Bonuses for the Spectre include a unique profile memorial badge, signifying your contributions to the Phoenix Empire in your previous form as well as a set number of special loots, regular loots, and properties that you will receive upon your rebirth.

Still More to Come

There are more features to come and the expansion will be an immense change for the Phoenix Empire, so stay tuned for more details as we prepare for a rebirth for Phoenix Emperor!

During the April Fool’s Day prank, we included a couple of changes. The first included a switch for the NPC names, but the second was the big change that included a special skills tab visible on other players’ profiles. It was meant to trick everyone into thinking they were able to see other players’ skill point allocation. For an added twist, if you clicked on another player’s profile skills tab, you could even apply fake skill points to their account. Any time you reloaded the tab, the skill points would re-randomize, so it looked like a bug.

Thanks for all of the hilarious panicked support emails and forum posts over the April Fool’s Day prank — it made it all so very worthwhile.

Paragon Elite Ranking

The Elites ranking status of “Paragon” will only be open to top-level players, which will be level 65 players after the expansion. The Paragon Elites will have their own ranking statuses among the Elites.
