BountyBay Online

Storm Island

12/06/2007
Frogsters MMORPG Bounty Bay Online is treated to new content in the shape of a completely new island. The added world is called “Stormisland” and promises high-level characters, a whole collection of new challenges and quest-lines. I was able to get a first impression during a guided tour of this add-on.

 

And this impression isn’t half bad. Of course” Stormisland” also suffers from the drab graphical engine and slightly rough handling, but every Bounty fan will have his fun with “Stormisland”, as the English test version is called,

 

The island is divided into many little sections. To be able to reach the centre of the island, you first have to buy a map from an NPC. Because only if a member of the group owns a map, is it allowed to enter first section, “the mine”. According to Yusho it is the same for all sections in the new world. When the evil boss enemy in the shape of a pudgy pirate has succumbed our swords, we venture further into the island, to the next section.

 

Stormisland is totally construed for group players. Anyone trying to visit the mines or coming sections alone with his level 100 character, will experience one of the shortest visits ever. Because the mobs are not just a little, they are much more difficult than the high-level mobs of Bounty Bay Online (without add-on). In the starting area of the first section, it is possible to continue in groups of two. For all further sections, it should be a well-attuned group of five. Apart from the new 'normal' mobs, you also find large protectors on the island. Jurassic Park meets King Kong – you will find out soon what is meant by that.

 

Apart from that, the gameplay was tuned. Now it is possible to practice you crafting skills, so there are less mis-crafts. In addition, the maximum level was raised from 100 to 120. As an additional tidbit, a series of quests is included in „Stormisland“, which enable you to get a level 11 ship. Get a first impression of Stormisland from our screenshots, so you are ready to go when the action starts on Stormisland by the end of 2007.
