Housing/Castles Update
We have a lot of things being worked on at the same time, but I would like to give you special insider information on the new house/castle system that is coming very soon. You will be able to buy your own house in game. The first one will likely cost 1,000g and be available for both Free Players and Members. Upgrading your House to a Mansion, Castle, Underground Lair, Flying Fortress (and whatever other crazy things we add) will require Membership. You can customize your house with tons of interesting items which you can buy with gold, find on quests, create with the upcoming craftsman class. Invite over your friends! You control who is allowed to visit your house/castle (Allow only Friends or Guildmates or even No one at all*!) You will have complete control of your own house in-game. Some items will give you bizzare and mod-like powers allowing you to run your own shop, throw parties, run contests, set traps and play pranks on guests… the opportunities are endless**! We are aiming for a test release not this Friday, but the next. Meanwhile, we are cooking a SPECIAL surprise for you this week***….
* No girls allowed! Eeeeew cooties!
** Limited only by the speed that our hands can draw and code.
*** ??????????
Forum Question: What type of house do you want? … and what do you want to put in it?
ALSO: New Save Chuckle’s Wallpaper available on our Official Wallpaper Site by Randor the Red.
It is happening!
The very first Chuckle’s Skull has been spotted on one of the servers*. The skull unlocks for those who got the save chuckles t-shirt. Click on it and it does it’s maniacal laugh… it also will give you a quest to visit Death** and do the very first step of the forum-spawned save Chuckle’s quest chain.
* We know this because someone got their shirt in the mail before we put the version of the skull with the quest on the live servers, lol! We just got the bug report and were like… OH NOOOO!!! We did fix it in 3 minutes though <wipes brow… whew!>
** Who would have thought a cutscene that awesome was secretly hidden in there?

The SleuthHound Inn
A HUGE Whodunnit Mystery!
Are you ready to put your detective skills to the test? Come to the grant opening of the SleuthHound Inn… a great mystery is afoot! (Erm… might be a hand too.) This new release features tons of new costumes, weapons, deadly furniture, and NPCs.
Also, watch out! Sneevils are breaking through and entering the town of Battleon. Are we really going to lose the war… to Sneevils? Finally, the Book of Lore has been updated!
Happy Birthday DragonFable!
Happy Birthday DragonFable!
A special week for DragonLords
THREE* fire elementals blaze upon sticks mounted on the eternal Dragon shaped cake. Before we unleash the wind elemental to blow them out to celebrate this amazing day…I would like to shine a light elemental’s spotlight on the incredible DragonFable team: Cysero, Geopetal, Rolith, Ghost, Alac, and Tomix. Their hard work, humor & crazy creativity have made DF the huge milk-shooting-out-of-nose success that we all love. It has a VERY special place in my heart. (…and not just because ArchKnight has been rebuilt and is being completed in DF — if you are not up to date, the blonde girl has been fixed but is now shoots fire balls out of her mouth when she tries to speak, lol.)
* Bad time travel faeries, bad!
Most important of all, this is a special day for the DF players. Through their ideas, support and monster-slaying they have helped created a game so awesome and unique that is heavy competition even for the AQWorlds MMO! Congratulations and happy Birthday DragonFable!
<Wooooooosh…. wind elemental gust…. the candles become blown out and then the room falls to complete darkness.>
<Whispering> Cysero and Geo slipped me the secret that the DragonLords are in for a treat as their Baby Dragons are about to grow in size.
SoundFX: GURGLECLINKGAARRRROWWWWL!
<That was like the sound the dark thing from Lost makes>
Hey, did someone let a Darkness Elemental out again? AHHHHHHHHH!
Cell Phone / SMS Payments
Just added: E.T. Phone home… for A.C.?
It is now possible to get AdventureCoins or a 1 Month upgrade using your cell phone. We know a lot of players have been asking for this for a long time — thanks to Captain Rhubarb for getting it to work yesterday! You can use your cell phone to pay as one of the options when you go through the upgrade process.
Sneevils Winning?
The unexpected is about to happen….
The town of Battleon has been attacked by Dragons, the Undead, armies of Horks**. We have beaten them back effortlessly. So… how is it possible the Sneevils are about to take our town!?
** Contrary to popular belief, and in-game cannon, the correct spelling is indeed Hork. Half orc, half pork! The other.. other… white meat.
