Arrival of the Roc and More

We've got some exciting new updates to Parallel Kingdom coming on June 29th at 10 am CDT. The coming update adds the following:
  • Harder Creatures - There are now Strong, Vicious & Epic versions of your favorite (or despised) monsters. These harder monsters drop more gold which lets you upgrade your favorite weapons quicker.
  • Friend Referral - You and your friends can get a leg up with our new friend referral system. For each friend you refer who remains active for a week, both you and your friend will receive 5 pieces of valuable Larva Meat. To refer a friend, just click your character and you will get a referral code in your inbox. Have your friend enter that code into global chat after they've been playing a week and you'll both get mounds of delicious Larva Meat!
  • Right of Passage - Ever wish you could charge people for using your land? Now you can with Right of Passage. All anyone needs to do is click a flag and select "Request Passage" and the next time the flag's owner logs in, they will approve your request (or decline because you've been clear cutting their forests). Also, think twice before being unkind to your host's structures, Rite of Passage will be revoked if you attack their structures.
  • The Roc - this colossal bird has finally been spotted in Parallel Kingdom. Its huge wingspan makes it hard to catch, but leaves a shadow that anyone can use to track the Roc out into fresh, new territory.

Mapping the Parallel Kingdom

Hopefully you are all enjoying the new gameplay of the Age of Gathering! Besides the new features you see, this Age brings some cool things to our servers. We're now collecting statistics about the gameplay, which give us better insight to how you are playing Parallel Kingdom, along with what features you are and aren't using.

We wanted to make the Age of Gathering be a truly global game: not only can everyone play it, but you can now travel to meet friends across the ocean! To give you a sense of how big the Parallel Kingdom now is, here's a few maps of all of the "relocations" that have happened since the Age of Gathering launch. This shows the line somebody took when they traveled to visit a friend.

The United States is quite connected!



People are traveling across the Pacific. These trips from the US to Australia cost over 90 Roc feathers!



People in Europe are visiting each other too:


In the weeks to come we'll continue to post more fun statstics. You'll also see some of these stats reflected in the forum, so you can see how you compare against your friends.
