Add to that the first major world boss battle

After the release of the last statistics dev blog, one of the main requests for information to go alongside the Estrategia PvP data was for information on the actual popularity of various ship types. Instead of raw numbers on how many are blown up, in this blog we shall show the relative popularity of various items against others of its type on the market throughout the past. These do not show the total individual numbers of these ships/items, they show the number of them traded on the market. This means that if the same ship was traded through the market twice, it would count for two. There is a lot more to read and a terrific set of graphs to visually state the information.

Add to that the first major world boss battle in AdventureQuest Worlds, and you have the makings of a terrific dev journal. Read on! 7 Million Registered Players!Unbelievable.... Thank you to all of the amazing players who are making AdventureQuest Worlds MMO possible. To celebrate we have some huge new releases in store for you! Battle Escherion, the 1st Lord of Chaos! As you are reading this, players of the online MMO AdventureQuest Worlds are engaging in battle with the first world boss.

Equipped with his protective Staff of Inversion, Escherion puts up a fight like no other to date. A party of five well-armed players is needed in order to take him down, since he is, after all, the first Chaos Lord. Some players became enraged when Escherion began to glitch mid-battle when he was first released, making it impossible to kill him; let it be known that this was no glitch, but a super-nerfed move that made him invincible and untouchable. We have fixed this problem and Escherion is now susceptible to attacks, allowing our players to finally put an end to the first Lord of Chaos!

We knew Escherion would be a problem from the start. He inverted the town of Mobius, flipping houses inside-out and unleashing crazed eyeball creatures and Imps to run amuck. We battled his forces on location before finding our way to the Faerie Forest, where he gave all the Sneevils (our box-obsessed goblinoid monsters) chainsaws and taught them how to make "trunks" from the trees. Adding to the chaos and destruction, Escherion did unspeakable things to the stone structures within the Ruins-talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place-and was able to summon the nine-headed Hydra from its watery prison! The final Boss fight awaits you... it will be an un-frog-ettable experience! JACON 2009Last week, we held a massive two-hour panel at the Japanese and Anime Convention-Jacon-in Orlando, Florida. Fans from across the world (okay, maybe not the world, but definitely across America) came to show their love and support for the game... and also to laugh at our severely over-caffeinated team.
