Who wants... A BANK?!
Also, new releases and a hint at the chaos to come
Greetings all! For a while now the top issue I have been hearing is, "I need more space for items!". So, Zhoom's top priority this week is building a bank.... which requires changing a bunch of things. Most importantly, ALL of your items (including armors and classes) will be merged into your main backpack. We are going to add little "Sort by" tabs like MechQuest has so it is easy to find your things. More information coming later this week as we figure out what terrible, terrible things this is going to do to our database. Also this week, a new area will be released with new quests and rewards. Meanwhile, the team is continuing to work on stats, combat balancing, and the next major mega release -- The first Lord of Chaos. (Note: You know Artix has a hard time keeping secrets. Three people are holding him down so he doesn't spill the beans on this major release in development. It's going to make all of the previous ones seem tiny!)



New Record: 5 Million Free Accounts!
Congratulations and thank you! AQWorlds is growing at a downright scary rate. As I post this there are 5,116,183 free accounts. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (Poor database...)

ArchKnight LIVES
WOOOHOOOOOO! This Friday in DragonFable... a moment some of us have been waiting years for.

What is ArchKnight?
Saving Princesses 101: ArchKnight is the story of Ash Dragonblade. A young boy who dreamed of becoming a Knight but could not due to his lowly heritage. However, when a hero told him all he needed to do was save a Princess and a King would be sure to Knight him... he quested to do... um... one stupid thing after another.... that just ends up going terribly, terribly wrong. Best game ever!

Completely recreated in DragonFable!
A complete recreation of ArchKnight inside of DragonFable is being made. The first part will be released this Friday. At least, the full story (as written by Artix, and amazingly recreated with love by Geopetal, Ghost, Tomix, and the entire DF Team) will be told!

This is going to be a great weekend! On another note: we need a new forums contest (to help creative players earn some AdventureCoins for bank space) Any ideas? See you on the forums.

stuff banks, i want PVP!!! xD

woo banks but i dont want them to merge my items and armors together its to confusing

Well, they said they would merge them, but they also said that we would be able to search for specificu items (armors, classes, spears, axes, pets, etc.) so it won't be too confusing.

hope not
