Today’s Headlines
   With apprehension, many players await version 1.6 on Lords Online. First released on Facebook,   reports immediately came about many problematic bugs. While bugs are no stranger to this game, giving the problems of both mergers, and the 1.5 update it should have been clear that technical issues remain a large problem.  
   
   Rumors have stated that a pay per upgrade requirement will be implemented, further opening the gap between payer and nonpayer players. While clearly an attempt to make money it will simply fuel the growing animosity between the two types of players. The upgrades main flaw is that no one will wish to buy them when a single attack of catapults renders the upgrade useless.
   
   While the new version will introduce new visuals to the game, it’s merely cosmetic changes gloss over the much needed game play changes players have been requesting from nearly the very start of the game. Changes like making attack/ defense overhauls, beacon tower uses, wall defenses and the hundreds of other suggestions made on thousands of post throughout the forums seems to have been ignored or worse not even read by the technical/development departments. Only time will tell if the new version will actually have any bearing on the success of the game.

CHAOS ON WORLD 10

War was declared on FrogLegends2 (FL2) by the major alliances within three hours FL2 was completely destroyed. "How can this have happened?" many players have been asking. The answer can be found not within FL2 but the entire World 10. Suffering from inactivity W10 demanded action. An alliance was singled out and attacked to satiate the beastly lusts for war which were raging in the warlords. Was the singling out of FL2 justified? most players do not think so. Will Frog Legends (FL2s mother alliance) retaliate in an act of martyrdom? only time will tell. Blame for this has been cast in all directions is RiseUp responsible? Legion? Silver? or is it cause and effect originating from IGG breaking its promise of merging all the worlds? maybe a mix of it all? The only fact known here is that all worlds are in desperate need for a merge so we can prevent further horrific instances.

stay tuned for our next article "Silver"
