Regardless of whether or not you choose to celebrate this holiday in recognition of Canada's "9 hour movement" or the American style "end of Summer" celebration here's a fun little raffle that we'll run for a 24 hour period with some JUICY-JUICY prizes and payouts at stake!
"Yowp!" That's the sound of anguish oftentimes heard when one comes to the realization that the golden-hued days of Summer is winding to a close. For many of you this means a return back to school so be sure you start off your semester in style with some CHEAP and fancy new outfits.
Well here we are...1 week away from the launch of Jade Dynasty's first ever expansion! In anticpation of next week's mammoth game update allow us slow things down for a moment to reminisce upon the trials and tribulations of the past 20 weeks of Jade Dynasty v1.0....
Ahhhh the memories ;_;
Now that that's out of the way let's move on to what's really important - New Fashions!
With Autumn in full bloom releasing a his and hers set of Fall appropriate outfits truly is a no brainer. First up, for the Ladies. The Plum Crest set!
With lovely shades of Violet and Maple-leaf overtones how can anyone resist this set?
For the fashion forward Gentlemen, the Maplecharm outfit allows you to fully display your Autumnal pride as well!
The Plum Crest and Maplecharm Fashion sets are permanent additions to the Marketplace. Happy hunting to all and please enjoy your final week of Jade Dynasty v1.0! ^_^
Trick or Treat!
Happy Halloween to each and every one of our Jade Dynasty players! In keeping with the spirit of the season we've decided that the time is right to unleash one of our most unique pets - Phantasma!
At Grade-1 Phantasma is an adorable little vixen of a ghost. Really now - who couldn't resist the charm of taking ownership of such a perky little pet - even if she is from the Netherworld?
At Grade-12 Phantasma matures into her adult spirit form. Don't let her 'floating heart' idle animation effects fool you though. Phantasma's translucence can make her difficult to spot from a distance giving the owner a true advantage in PvP situations!
Grade-18 Phantasma still maintains her other-worldly charm but there is a certain undeniable style and grace that one would expect from such a haunting companion. Classy!
Phantasma will be available in the Jade Dynasty Marketplace for a limited time only! Won't you give her a home before she slips back into void?
Ladies and Gentlemen mark your calendars - November 12, Thursday - is the date. The king of all dates. The date that shall be etched into the finest of all Grecian marble forever notating the launch of our very first expansion. Titled, "Jade Dynasty Ascension" this expansion offers something for everyone whether you a first time player who luckily stumbled upon this game or a long time vet, sitting idly at the top of the food chain!
Bursting at the seam with new content, Jade Dynasty Ascension will provide countless hours of additional adventure, mayhem and social interaction with your fellow players. New features include:

Woohoo! Wednesday night has arrived and that means the Jade Dynasty Marketplace has been updated with a replenished supply of merchandise!
This week brings forth 1 new item that's chock full of value and goodness!
The Royal Order is Jade Dynasty's newest 'mystery' box and purchasers of this item are guaranteed to receive at least 1 of the following possible items:
4th Place Prize: Tiger Ice (valued at 60 silver) or Turle Ice (valued at 1 Jaden, 20 silver!) .
3rd Place Prize: Celebeans! 3 of them!! :P
2nd Place Prize: A Wedding Pack (valued at 30 Jaden)!
And for those lucky and skillful enough to penetrate the secret script of the Royal Order a fantastic prize awaits you:
The elegant and graceful, Flora Messenger, finally makes its Jade Dynasty debut courtesy of the Royal Order!
Not only is this Mount a true beauty in every sense of the word, the Flora Messenger is also blessed with a boosted speed rating of 6.1 making it capable of keeping up with the Stygian Hunter step for step! And don't forget about the awe-inspiring glittery vapor trail that the Flora Messenger leaves in its wake. So pretty!
The Royal Order will be available in the Marketplace for a limited time only! Get them while they're hot!
Some other housekeeping tidbits before I sign off - The Soulfire Jasper and Sacred Treasure 'mystery' boxes have been removed from the Marketplace. Hope those of you who wanted a Stygian Hunter managed to snag one!
Peace 'all! ^_^
Some truly divine female and male fashion sets have rained down from the Heavens in this week's Marketplace update. But before we show off these splendid new outfits allow me to lift the veil off of a another new item making it's debut this week. This new item is so POTENT and such a STEAL at its listed price that I suspect any minute now our Corporate Honchos will order us to the Doctor's to get our heads examined!
Ladies and Gentlemen - allow me to present the Silver VIP Card!
All hyperbole aside, this card packs an INSANE whallop both in benefit and value. Allow me to break it down for you:
Still not convinced? Do the math. For a mere 10 Jaden think of all the Tiger Ice you'd need (21 of 'em!) to receive a similar accumulated benefit! You'd also need a little over 2 1/2 Heart of the Moon's and let's not even start with how many Meditation Orbs/Dreamland Scrolls you'd need to get the combined 168 hours worth of EXP boostage! 10 Jaden!?! Pffft, we must be losing our minds....
But! Believe it or not there is a method to our madness. This special and OVERPOWERED item is being released to mark the official announced release date of Jade Dynasty's upcoming EXPANSION (more details to come over the next week, not Ascension related) slated for November 12!
SAGE WISDOM OF THE DAY: Stock up on as many of these as you can muster as the Silver VIP Card will be a true LIMITED, special release and will be available for sale in the JD Marketplace for 2 weeks ONLY (will be removed on Wednesday, October 28)!
note: While your VIP Card is in use, any other EXP buffs with higher bonuses (server bonuses, Tanis Ka, Mediatation Orbs, etc) will take priority over the VIP Card's effect.
And now, on to some more fashionable releases.
Gentlemen can look forward to a stylish and rugged addition to their wardrobes via the new Skydra set!
This 3 piece set, crafted from the rarest dragon scales provides today's modern man an elegant and sophisticated look while providing all the needed durability needed when venturing out into the wilds. HAWT!
Ladies get to spruce up their looks with the heavenly, new Angelic set!
This set, crafted from the plumage of sacred, immortal birds is guaranteed to turn heads everywhere you choose to display it! Check out the wings on this bird.
The Angelic set! Proudly display to the world just how good of a girl you really are! ^_^
That's all she wrote, kiddos! Remember, the VIP Silver Card is a special, limited release item only! Don't miss the boat on loading up on the potent power of this one!
This week's Marketplace features 2 new items that will go a long way toward raising your Skyblade's proficiency level and therefore getting you closer to evolving its appearance!
These slender seals pack quite the wallop if the name of your game involves maxing out your Skyblade's proficiency:
Seal of Charge: "Take to a Mystic and catalyze to increase Skyblade proficiency by 1000" Seal of Emptiness: "Take to a Mystic and catalyze to increase Skyblade proficiency by 11,000"
For comparison purposes, take a look at the Iron Draco, straight out of the box in its unevolved state:
Sure, it looks cool and all but owners gliding around on an unevolved Skyblade are not experiencing the true glory and majesty that these fancy rides have to offer!
Raise the prociency level of your Iron Draco enough and eventually it will evolve into this true-beaut:
Now that's more like it! Remember, never neglect your rides. The more TLC you put into it, the happier both you and your Skyblade will be!
Both the Seal of Charge and Seal of Emptiness are permanent additions to the Marketplace.
Finally, that most glorious of all male fashion outfits - The Dreamlord set - has been removed from the Marketplace. Hopefully those of you in posession of this dreamy garment will spread joy throughout the world by performing Le grand danse du Dreamlord, and sprouting forth bouquets of flowers throughout the environs!
Happy hunting, y'all! ^_^
Formerly confined to the deepest recesses of the underworld for eons, the Stygian Hunter, through sheer brute force and tenacity has finally broken free(!).....But not before we managed to snare a pack of them and contain them within the crystalline enclosures of the Soulfire Jasper!
Are you both fearless and reckless enough to handle riding astride this beast of beasts? The Stygian Hunter is renowed across the lands for being a true predator in every sense of the word, but what truly distinguishes this hellcat from all others comes down to one factor - speed!
The Stygian Hunter is Jade Dynasty's fastest mount currently available. While the common folk trot along at a leisurely pace of 6.0 speed, owners of the Stygian Hunter will blaze through all environs at a 6.1 breakneck velocity! Not only is this mount a creature of pure beauty and ferocious elegance - in the thrill of the hunt and speed of the chase every second counts and those mounted aboard one of these will ALWAYS come out ahead!
Remember, the Stygian Hunter can only be obtained if you are fortunate enough to shatter the Soulfire Jasper at just the right angle. Other possible gifts contained within this Jasper include:
2nd place prize: A Wedding Pack (valued at 30 Jaden!)
3rd place prize: Treasure Bowls x 10. These nifty items provides much needed 'oomph' for bloodsmelting purposes. To utilize them, visit Tonni in Sunstream City and select a quest called "Treasure Bowl Quest."
4th place prize: Tiger Ice (valued at 60 silver) or Turle Ice (valued at 1 Jaden, 20 silver!) .
Look at it this way, worst case scenario is that you end up with an item valued at 60 silver. That 15s differential is a small price to pay for the chance of winning the FASTEST mount in game! The Soulfire Jasper will be available in game for a limited time only.
Ok, so we'll be the first to admit that recent Marketplace updates have given Male characters slightly cooler, slightly kookier fashion options with outfits such as the Harbinger as well as that most awesome of all sets the Dreamlord! ^_^
This time around we're bringing the smexy back to the ladies with this hot ensemble known as the Viperskin set!
This 2 piece set is crafted from the skins of hundreds of vipers gathered from the swamps of Doom Bog. Channel the silent, venemous rage of these slithery serpents everytime you slip into this second skin.
Personally, my favorite thing about the Viperskin outfit is the snake accessory that drapes over your shoulders while wearing this suit....
Does it get any cooler then that? I think not.
Gentlemen! Rest assured we have not forgotten about your needs. Those yearning for a refined and regal look will find great satisfaction whilst draped in the meticulously crafted Eminence set.
The Eminence set - garments fit for royalty! Feel like a king...at least for a day!
Our final update to the Marketplace sure is a doozy. A new pet pack!
Within every Blessing Stone you will find 10 Eera Herbs, 1 Miradrake Orb (you remember this don't you - good for a whooping 5.5 million EXP for your pet!) as well as Jade Dynasty's newest pet - Genghis Kong!
Why hello there, cutie!
At its second evolutionary stage, Genghis Kong, goes through his rebellious phase with dyed bleach-blonde hair as well as garrish outfits.
But at the third evolutionary stage.....
Safe to say that Genghis grows out of his cute phase.......aww shucks.....but nonetheless a pure brute! The Blessing Stone Pet Pack will be available in the Marketplace for a limited time only. Won't you give little ol' Genghis a new home?
One final note, the Venemous Vessel has been pulled from the Marketplace. Say bye-bye to the Scorpus Ravager.
That's it for now, kiddos - see you all back next time with another assortment of freshly baked treats!
It's Marketplace update party time and this time around the emphasis is on fun, fun, fun!
Our featured item of the week is our latest Mystery Box - Sacred Treasure!
This gilded chest of goodness provides useful and functional rewards that every adventurer can benefit from!
4th Place Prize: 2 x Portal Charms! -- Forget running back and forth, back and forth. Mark your spot and instantly return back to it!
3rd Place Prize: 3 x Celebeans! -- Once your pet gets a taste of these glowing legumes the beast will truly be unleashed! Beef up your pet through the power of the Celebean!
2nd Place Prize: A Wedding Pack! -- Seal the deal and lock your loved one down in eternal matrimony! Remember, each of these packs are valued at 30 Jaden!
1st Place Prize: Our newest Skyblade -- Iron Draco!
Hmmm, a gleaming golden dragon atop a flying gigantic sword??? Yes, please! Do keep in mind that Sacred Treasure will be made available in the Marketplace for a limited time only!
If you're getting out of the bed in the morning and yawning at the sight of your old hairstyle, eyes and facial features that you picked out many moons ago, our next item may provide exactly what you've been waiting for...
For a small price, the Makeover Box allows you to re-start your looks from scratch. With this purchase, take yourself over to Jin Parto (Sunstream City) who will then grant you the green light to give yourself a complete makeover!
Finally, to make your chat messages truly stand out apart from the crowd, be the first person on your realm to put the new Octopus smileys to use!
This new smiley pack has some of the cutest and cleverest designs around! Give it a try - its only a dime and lasts for an entire week!
final note: the Heavenly Note Mystery Box has been removed from the Marketplace. Fear not though, Celebeans can still be obtained via the new Sacred Treasure box! ^_^
If you've been sitting on the fence for awhile now debating whether or not to make your FIRST ever ZEN purchase - now is defnitely the time!
FIRST TIME purchasers of Zen who make their purchase starting NOW through 11 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, September 23 will receive a 25% Zen Bonus! In these harsh times who couldn't use a few FREE extra slices of cheddar on their burger!?!

Wildlands is also our first ever, PvP only server. Those of you who enjoy the unpredictible, unbridled nature of gameplay on a PvP server will find plenty of new challenges and drama to keep you constantly on your toes.
Wildlands will open its gates to the public, shortly after 6 p.m. Pacific Time, this Thursday (September 17). To access Wildlands please select it through the "East Coast" server options.
But wait! There's more!!
Any Jade Dynasty player who reaches a minimum level of 60 prior to 10 a.m. (Pacific) on Thursday, September 17 will be granted EARLY access to this server from 1 p.m. through 5 p.m. (Pacific Time) that Thursday! If you plan on leveling up a new PvP character, and already have level 60+ characters on other servers be sure to take advantage of this early window to reserve your preferred name or get a nice little leveling advantage before the gates are opened up the masses.
Some tidbits to consider:
Play nice and have fun! ^_^
That ever ellusive Spirit Fox has been spotted in the Wild! Thanks to the loot contained within the Etherfox Orb this rare mount could be just a mouse click away from being yours! This week's Marketplace updates also includes some splendiferous new fashion sets along with a new Value-Pack for all of you EXP hounds!
Our featured item this week is the Etherfox Orb!
This round, mound of good fortune offers plenty of value for those seeking a new Mount, an Esper, or items to greatly improve your chance of refinery success!
4th Place Prize: 2 x Star Charms! -- increase your chance of successful refinery by 15%!
3rd Place Prize: 2 x Serenity Jade! -- Prevents your item from being destroyed as a result of failed refinery attempts!
2nd Place Prize: Yin Yang Orb Esper! -- Has a chance to reduce your target's max health as well as weaken or stun them! DEADLY indeed!
First Place Prize: That most elegant of all mounts - The Spirit Fox!
note: The value of 2 x Star Charms, as well as 2 x Serenity Jade equals out to 1 Jaden! in other words, the value of the 3rd and 4th place prizes are greater than the cost of the Etherfox Orb itself! Everyone truly comes out a winner with this little orb!
FASHION FUN TIME!
With Autumn just around the corner we thought it might be an opportune time to release some cool weather outfits for all of you lovely ladies out there.
If you will, allow me to introduce the 3 piece (Robe, hat, shoes) Frostland set! These ornate garments from the Northern regions will keep you toasty warm while looking immaculately cool at all times.
Don't forget - with the current 40-70% sale on all fashion items, might as well start stocking up on these outfits NOW!
For you fashion-forward Males out there, do we ever have an outfit for you! When onlookers see the new Dreamlord set in action - without a doubt YOU will be the talk of the town.
Nope, you are certainly not hallucinating. The Dreamlord set defies the limits of emotion and artistic expression with the inclusion of a unique dance that typically causes jaws to drop in wonder at the beauty and majesty of its graceful movement. Truly, it must be seen to be believed!
Like the Frostland set the 2 pieces of the Dreamlord set are included in our current discounting of all fashion items! This particular set will be available for a LIMITED TIME only. At these prices DO NOT MISS THE BOAT!!
Finally, our value minded EXP hounds will be delighted with the inclusion of our latest value pack! Dreamland Scrolls are now available in bulk quantities of 10 for the price of 9! Woot. Savings = Win!
That's it for now, kiddos! Good luck to everyone with their Etherfox Orbs and we hope to see many of you spreading rose petals of joy across the lands of Jade Dynasty! ^_^
Bye-bye to the sun drenched, honeycombed days of Summer. Time is ticking away from the 'king' of all seasons and we hope that you all spent it well pursuing the interests and pleasures to make your season in the sun a storied one!
Sadly, for many of you this time of the year signals a return back to the hallowed halls of school and therefore we found it fitting to make sure that you all return to the classroom looking like the sharpest dressed kids on the block.
To do so, we are introducing a Back to School Super Sale on ALL fashion items in the Jade Dynasty Marketplace. There are some SIGNIFICANT savings to be found there (ranging from 40-70% off original prices)! All prices have been adjusted (even on Masks!) so that a complete 3 piece outfit comes out to a cost of 9 Jaden total!
See below, for an example of the freshly adjusted CHEAP pricing on Marketplace fashions:
This sale will run a limited time, or at least until the majority of you have snazzed up your style! At these prices there's really no excuse to be running around in homespun linen rags!
Finally, for those of you who enjoy the convenience of speedy travel we are pleased to announce the release of our final 4 Teleport Charms! With this release we have now made available Teleport options to all of Jade Dynasty's major cities. Remember, time is ALWAYS more precious than money and at these prices, the time saved = PROFIT!
CHEAP fancy new duds, and CHEAP speedy travel. Folks, this is the good life. Living the dream, one day at a time......
Happy Labor Day, all! Study hard! ^_^
This week's Marketplace update contains fantastic new merchandise for those of you in the market for a new pet, a new Skyblade, Celebeans (!) as well as a terrific deal for all of the hardcore PvP'ers!
The Venemous Vessel is a terrific bargain for all of you Pet afficionados out there.
For starters, each Vessel contains the new and highly desired pet - Scorpus Ravager!
The Scorpus Ravager packs a lethal punch with its oversized, razor pincers and with such a menacing look is bound to sit atop the Jade Dynasty 'Pet' foodchain for the time being...
Also contained within this Vessel are 10 Eera Herbs. These leafy greens are oftentimes difficult to come by in game and can be traded to Pet Tamer Totto for some potent pet medications!
But what really pushes the Venemous Vessel into bonafide 'AAA' power-shopper bargain territory is the inclusion of 1 Miradrake Orb!
Did you read the fine print above? That ain't no typo, friendo. Each Miradrake Orb will raise your pet's experience by 5.5 million EXP! That is enough atomic powered juice to get a level 1 pet up to level 105 in less time then it took you to read this sentence!
Heed this warning though! Pets are capped at a maximum of 5 levels ahead of your current level so plan the use of these Orbs VERY carefully! ^_^
note: The Venemous Vessel will be available in the Marketplace for a limited time only!
Thanks, once again, to your collective feedback we've decided to re-introduce Celebeans back to the game just a wee bit earlier ahead of schedule. Celebeans can be obtained via our newest 'mystery' box, the Heavenly Note.
Contained within each Heavenly Note is one of 4 random items:
1. The Sky Melody Skyblade might be inside for the luckiest of luckies!
Yep, that is a giant bamboo flute, and as one would expect from such a fine ride - soothing music accompanies you on every trip taken!
2. A Wedding Pack! Whatcha waiting for? Hurry up and tie that knot, already!
3. Celebeans x 3!!!......you're welcome.....
4. Finally, a random selection of either a Tiger Ice, Turtle Ice or 2 Portal Charms!
The Heavenly Note 'mystery' box will be available for a limited time only. With this selection of goods everyone who purchases one of these, wins!
Finally for those of you engaged in frequent PvP we are offering a temporary sale on 'infamy' reducing items.
Iron Vindication and Exoneration items are currently reduced 50% off! Stock up on these while you can and the consequences suffered by PvP be damned!
Well kiddos, that does it for this week. Do keep in mind that all new items and price reductions offered this week are for a limited time only. Don't be left out in the cold this time around!
toodles!
Greetings fellow JD Players!
As the population increases and feedback comes in, one item that has been standing out is players requesting a PvP Only server, meaning no PvE realms. There is a thread in the forums for you to place your vote if interested. Please take the time to vote and notify us which location is best for you!
Attention to the kind and gentle folk of the most tranquil of all servers known as Wildlands. As we've promised earlier - we will soon retroactively award your server with the 4 days of FREE double EXP that was previously awarded to the other 3 servers thanks to our concluded Social Network promotion!
This time around though we've decided to spice things up a bit effectively giving Wildlands 6 consecutive days of FREE double EXP! Here are the low and dirty details on how this EXP Bonanza will play out:
WHEN: Double EXP will be activated on the Wildlands server starting at 3 a.m. Server time on Tuesday, October 27. This Double EXP bonus will be in effect until 3 a.m. on Monday, November 2nd! Effectively this will give you 144 hours of FREE Double EXP!!!
WHERE: Wildlands only! The other 3 servers already got their 4-day EXP bonus, not to mention that all servers will have DOUBLE EXP Tuesdays in effect on October 27!
WHY: This is a retroactive reward from a previously concluded Socail Networking Bonus! Wildlanders finally get to partake in this buffet of sweet treats!
HOW: Cancel all appointments, dates, commitments and other such assorted shenanigans and login to the Wildlands (PvP) server at any point between Tuesday, October 27 though Monday, November 2nd to properly soak in all that juicy goodness that a bounty of FREE Double EXP provides!
Happy leveling! ^_^

Thanks again to everyone for participating and you can look forward to other similar raffles in the near future!
The players of Jade Dynasty are truly blessed to have the HARDEST working GM's in the industry! Not only do they tirelessly maintain a sense of order and pleasantry on your servers during their working hours, during their off-hours they have now been asked to perform volunteer 'community service' on a periodic basis.
For their first ever volunteer community service, the GM's have agreed to spend their free time (as well as personal funds) to offer a FREE +1 Refinement boost to any and all players within the following parameters.
Now pay attention here, folks. The devil, as they say, is in the details ^_^
If you'd like to take advantage of this unique and most generous of offers, here is the process:
Phew! Did you get all that? I hope so, because there's a lot to keep in mind to take advantage of these PHAT hook-ups.
For those of you new to the refinement process, check out our Wiki section HERE!
Remember, you must first get your gear to +5 to take advantage of this service. Once your gear is ready to go you may mail them to the following in-game mail addresses on your respective servers:
EventA, EventB, EventC, etc, all the way to EventZ.
Do keep in mind that each mailbox has a message limit of 32. If EventA is full, the system will notify you on this while you attempt to send it out. In this case, move on down to the next address in this case = EventB.
In the event that everything down to EventZ is full, we have created an overflow set of mail adressess starting with:
EventAA, EventBB, EventCC, etc, all the way to EventVV
I highly, highly recommend that each and every one of you take advantage of this generous service offered by our GM's. Getting a free, guaranteed +1 increase on gear above +5 is no joke! The increase in the item's base stats is truly what separates the Beasts from the mice!
Questions? Please discuss on our forums via the 'official' thread.
Yeah, Labor Day is right around the corner .... wewt ..... before you lock yourself in your room over the weekend to take advantage of the 4 days of free DOUBLE EXP(!) why not test your luck for the chance to strike it MAD rich!
BTW, the Hellfire Inferno pet is a beast! Take a gander at what he looks like straight out of the box as a Grade 1 Pet!
Ok, so here's the situation - an immense challenge was issued to our users to coincide with the launch of our Social Networking groups on MySpace and Facebook.
"5000 friends or bust!" we said.
Daunting? Surely. Feasible? Absolutely.
To hit that goal in less than 3 1/2 weeks we enticed our users with the promise of 3 consecutive days of Double EXP should the task be accomplished. With a few days remaining to the deadline, however, victory seemed out of reach as we were still short by 12%!
OBAH: "At this rate they'll never hit 5000!"
DVORAK: "Have faith. Our users always manage to surprise us, somehow."
OBAH: "Stop drinking the kool-aid! How about a friendly wager? If the community achieves the goal I'm willing to give them 1 extra day making it 4 days total."
DVORAK (grinning): "You're on!"
OBAH: "But! If they fall short you will buy me lunch, sharpen my pencils with a straight edged razor, and remove the blue M&M's from my 5 pound bag for an entire week!"
DVORAK (gulps): "uhm........ok.........deal......."
Long story short - Mission Accomplished! Thanks to a great last minute effort from you all we were able to achieve that 5000+ target ahead of schedule. As Obah (the doubting Thomas) promised, thanks to his 'friendly' wager the 3 day bonus has been extended to 4 days.
This free bonus will go in effect starting on Thursday, September 3rd at 10 p.m. (Pacific Time) and will last ALL the way through Monday, September 7th at 10 p.m. (Pacific Time).
Taking part in this free session of extended of DOUBLE EXP requires no effort on your part, aside from logging in and killing stuff! Thanks again to everyone for participating in our Social Network promo and we hope that you all are able to take advantage of this bonus!
Friendly Tips:
1. Tanis Ka's daily double EXP buff will not stack with this bonus
2. Meditation Orbs will not stack with this bonus so don't bother consuming them, unless you're the type who lights up cigars with $100 bills.
3. If you haven't jumped aboard the train, please join our MySpace and Facebook groups. Our Social Networks will be updated regularly and typically will feature advance news and hints on things to come! At the very least stop by and drop us a friendly 'hello' we're always happy to interact with our users outside of the game!
4. Cancel any appointments/engagements/dates/errands that were previously scheduled between Sept 3-7. Stay home, save money, and power level like a crazed junkyard dog!
Here's the skinny - our rookie, greenhorn GM's have just finished a stint in PWE's notorious octagon of death, aka, "Pet Boot Camp." After toughing it out, they've skilled up their pets to hold their own against butterflies and bullfrogs but its time to give them some new competition against fresh meat!
That's where YOU come in!
This Friday, August 14 - gather up at the specified time and locales and for a 1 hour period (per server) our GM's will bust out their pets and challenge all who dare step forth for some pet on pet battle action!
Here 'tis the dirty deets.....
WHO: your pet vs. GM's pet
WHAT: Be at the specified locale at the specified time and date. Have your pet out and displayed. For 1 hour, 3 GM's will visit each server and challenge your pet to a fight!
WHERE: All servers, REALM 6 (PVE) just outside of Sunstream City. Sunstream East to be precise...
WHEN: Friday, August 14 at the following times... SHURA = 8-9 p.m. server time (11 a.m. Pacific Time) BILLOWS = 6-7 p.m. server time (3 p.m. Pacific) DOOM BOG = 6-7 p.m. server time
WHY: Our GM's need more practice to strengthen up their pet skillz!
HOW: Be there, or be square! Have your pets out and ready to go. GM's will randomly challenge willing participants to a duel. If you accept, attack with your pet only(!) and attack the GM's pet ONLY (unless you have a death wish, lol). If you manage to defeat the GM's pet; or give it a good fight; or were a good sport - you will receive some type of PRIZE (good stuff too, especially pertaining to pets!).
Whether or not you feel your pet is up to snuff, show up anyway! you never know how nooby your GM opponent may be. Also, random prizes will be dropped during the event so show up anyway. Good times for all, indeed!
Our recently concluded Pre-paid and Paysafe Card promo has come to a close and the prize winning announcements you've all been waiting for is just a few downward arrow-key presses away.
To provide a brief recap, Jade Dynasty players who redeemed Pre-paid and Paysafecards from July 9 through August 3rd were automatically entered into a random prize drawing for the chance to win a Spirit Fox Mount!
After dusting off the good ol' Cray 11xB9 Super Computer we ran our proprietary logarithmic 'randomizer' script to pull a total of 45 (15 per server!) LUCKY recipients of the mysterious and elegant Spirit Fox Mount.
Congratulations to our winners and BIG THANKS to the thousands of you from various corners of the Globe who redeemed Pre-paid Cards during our specified promotional timeframe. The response was tremendous and we hope that the winners will display their new, rare Mounts with pride!
The winners are:
THE BILLOWS SERVER:
DOOM BOG SERVER:
SHURA SERVER
NOTE: prize winners will receive their award via in-game mail (to your character listed above) by 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 6.
Hello there to all players and fans of Jade Dynasty! We have recently launched our spiffy MySpace page and we would be tickled pink if each and every one of you would take 1 minute of your time to sign up and be our friend!
The very prospect of filling up our Social Networking pages (Facebook & MySpace) with all the friendly folk who are part of the Jade Dynasty Community makes us all giddy and giggly inside. So much so in fact that we are extending a friendly challenge to all of our users - sign up and befriend us on Facebook or MySpace (or better yet, both!) and if certain friendship goals are reached BIG rewards will be made available to ALL players across ALL servers!
Here's how this challenge breaks down:
1. Join our MySpace Group and/or Facebook Fan Club - better yet, sign up for both! They're free and all the cool folk hang out there:
Jade Dynasty Facebook Fan Club
2. Here's where it gets interesting - we are looking to achieve certain 'friendship' milestones from now through Monday, August 24. If the following goals are met - then bonus EXP will kick in at a specified date across ALL servers.
+ If a combined 5000 friends (from MySpace and Facebook) sign up by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, August 24, we will activate double EXP across all servers for 3 consecutive days! + If a combined 7,500 friends register, 4 days of double EXP will kick in! + If a combined 10,000 friends register, 5 days of double EXP will be made available to all! + If everyone gets SUPER motivated and we can muster 15,000 combined friends - 7 full days of double EXP shall be bestowed!
3. That's it in a nutshell - all you have to do on your part is to click on the above links and join our Social Networking groups. If you want the extended bonuses to kick in be sure to help out and tell (pester) your friends to join our groups as well!
There's not a lot of effort required on your part and who knows - you may even make a friend or two by becoming a part of our expanded Jade Dynasty communities. Plus, who DOESN'T love the notion of 3-7 days of FREE double EXP? Hope to see you all in our Social Network soon! Remember, you have until now through 5 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Monday, August 24 to be a part of our posse!
Be our friend?....please?.....pretty please??? ^_^
