MMORPG Community Manager Michael Bitton had the opportunity for a tour of the latest update to Atlantica Online. Called "Troy", the update brings the continent of Africa into the game. It is set to go live on all servers later this week and features a new tactical battle system and player housing. Read all of Michael's thoughts about Troy.
Troy's second stand-out feature is the new MyHome system, which as its name would imply, adds player housing to Atlantica Online. NDOORS is adding housing to Atlantica Online to foster a stronger sense of community by allowing players to visit and rate each other's homes. When we were transported to one of the player homes being shown off I found the experience altogether a bit jarring. We'd just come f Aion a sandy battlefield where we cut down enemies and blasted people with cannons, only to turn around and hang out, heavy armor and all, in what looked like a typical suburban home on a typical suburban block.
