Tower VIII: Get ready for the Dragon.

Artifact released some info earlier today about a monster in Tower 8. They also noted that it would be difficult to kill, so don’t expect to be able to stone or paralyze it, or maybe even freeze it. Judging from the silhouette, it looks a bit hairy (and quite large). Maybe it’s not a fire-based dragon, but something else. hmm…

The Abandoned Trade System | Tower VIII

I heard from Sorepo today that there was a trade system in the Japanese version about a year ago. However, it was dismissed soon after it came out; people began trading more, and buying less gold to use in the marketplace. It’s unfortunate, since players have no way of gifting items anymore. Perhaps the developers of the English version will try to implement a change to allow a mailing/gifting/package system. That would make this game the best.

On another note, the artifact blog released some new information about T8. Apparently, there will be two bosses and two goals, along with many new elements! Gauntlets(as well as element-specific magic) will have more of an effect on gameplay. Artifact claims that T8 will be out very soon! It should be fun!
