Pumpkin Jack Visits Pandora

Pumpkin Jack Visits Pandora

Greetings, Pandorians!

Pumpkin Jack is visiting Royal Street, Astir with Treatbringers for all! Visit this adorable Lapin to claim your Halloween sword and read about the story of the Pumpkin Ghosts:

Pumpkin Jack offers a variety of random rewards, all for collecting 5 Pumpkins from the ghosts on Soplar Highway.

When I asked our editor what he thought of Pumpkin Jack, he said, “The best part of Pumpkin Jack was how Ghostbusters and Star Wars references fit right in with the text!” Pay attention to Pumpkin Jack’s explanation to see if you catch the hat-tips to some of our favorite series. ;)

One of Pumpkin Jack’s rarest drops is the Pumpkin Hat, an adorable little headpiece that offers Charm and Dark Resistance +3%. I turned in more than 100 Pumpkins without a single hat, but GIANTBABBY picked up a hat on his first try! Cast your lucky bones before going for this prize.

For players who aren’t interested in killing waves of Pumpkin Ghosts, we’re also offering the Nosferatu Wand, Pumpkin Wand, Trick Hat, and Trick Cloak in the Charge Shop! With a Zero Risk Halloween event, you can upgrade any of these items—or Poison Weapons—without fear of losing a broken item forever. (Read more.)

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

  • Are you participating in the Pumpkin Jack event?
  • What are your plans for Halloween?
  • Which firework is better: Jack O’ Lantern; or Bat Firework?

State of the Nations: Varik Sweeps

Sep 13 2012

State of the Nations: Varik Sweeps

Welcome back to the State of the Nations on the ATLUS ONLINE blog!

Starting this week, we’ll be featuring the State of the Nations on Thursdays for both the blog and forum communities. Each one will come with different commentary, so hardcore fans can visit both State of the Nations to get a double-scoop of awesome. :)

Forneus

Varik swept all Clash of the Nations last week, with Empire coming in second. What could be bringing Varik to the headfront of Clash? Congratulations to the Confederation!

In Invasion of the Zealots and War of Dominion, Varik doesn’t make the cut. Empire defeats the most golems (14 kills!), then storms into Kingdom and takes the castle. Congratulations, Latugan!

The Decisive Battle of Sieghelm is where Kingdom gets a chance to shine. They take a decisive victory, with Varik closely behind. Thumbs up, St. Pflestein!

The verdict? All nations are experiencing victory, but each battlefield changes the fray. Keep up with the neck-and-neck war results in your conquest to dominate Forneus!

Astaroth

In the grand lands of Astaroth, Clash of the Nations fell divided between Kingdom and Varik, with Empire coming in second during the 9/7 war. Grats to everyone who participated. ;)

In Invasion, Kingdom took the forefront with 14 golems, while Varik came in second as the challenger. Varik defeated the defending kingdom and seized the Dominion castle.

Kingdom continued its winning streak in Siege of Sieghelm, with Varik in second place. Awesome job, Kingdom!

Demonic Giveaway Inspired by Our Favorite Games!

Aug 16 2012

Demonic Giveaway Inspired by Our Favorite Games!

So Persona 4 Arena is my new favorite fighting game. It’s gotten to the point where I question if it’s healthy. I found myself on Ami Ami last night, looking up Naoto Shirogane towelettes to take to the gym (which, by the way, are sold out on preorder! Q_Q)… at 2 A.M. in the morning… while nursing my BattleSpace queue…

Yeah, I’m an ATLUS fan! :D Here you thought I just liked to troll you on the forums.

Anyway, this got me thinking. If Persona 4 Arena is like crack injected into my former-RPG’d veins, surely there are other ATLUS ONLINE fans that’d like to sink their teeth into the game. Am I right, or am I right?—which is why you can now participate in our Demonic Back-to-School Giveaway, with 6-6-6 prizes:

  • 6x Persona 4 Arena for the system of your choice (US residents only)
  • 6x $25 e-pins
  • 6x $50 e-pins (That’s, like, eight Special Refresh β)

It’s easy to enter. All you got to do is make a new character in Pandora Saga and/or MegaTen—or a new account in BattleSpace and/or Knights of the Sky—and hit level 20. The more ATLUS ONLINE titles you do it in, the better chance you have at winning the prize. The raffle tickets are cumulative: level 20 in one game, 1 raffle ticket; two games, 3 raffle tickets; three games, 6 raffle tickets; four games, 4 raffle tickets.

We also have a MegaTen giveaway going on right now for Persona 2: Innocent Sin, the sister to one of my top 3 favorite RPGs, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment! I have no idea why you’re reading this blog when you could be nailing these giveaways RIGHT NOW.

Speaking of favorite games, I asked around the office and found out some awesome ATLUS ONLINE team trivia:

  • Tasty Cake’s favorite ATLUS ONLINE game is Pandora Saga. “I still dig the amount of possible character builds.”
  • One of our marketing gurus—you may see him on the forums as “Moderator”—says Persona 4 Arena is his favorite ATLUS game, period. I don’t know if I’d go that far… I’m still married to Catherine. But that’s got to say something about how addicitive P4A can be.
  • Toaster’s favorite retro game is Gyruss! He’s even got Gyruss swag.

You Tell Me: It’s awesome to hear from the community!

  • What’s your favorite ATLUS game?
  • What’s your favorite ATLUS ONLINE game?
  • What’s your favorite retro game? We’re talking Sega Saturn and older, yo.

Today in Brazil: Bonus Crowns with Rixty!

Aug 15 2012

Today in Brazil: Bonus Crowns with Rixty!

Happy Wednesday, ATLUS ONLINE fans!

Today in Brazil, I’m happy to report an increase in business and gains, a rocking 2012 London Olympics performance… and a 20% Rixty promotion! Not that we’re biased here, but this is epic news. Here’s how the promotion works:

  • All ATLUS ONLINE players in Brazil receive a +20% Crowns bonus through Rixty
  • All ATLUS ONLINE players in other countries receive a +10% Crowns bonus through Rixty

This promotion is available until September 15th. Sweet deal, am I right? ;)

If you haven’t heard, Rixty is one of the latest, greatest, and safest ways to purchase Crowns. You can pick up cards in major retailers, or pay securely online, then exchange your Rixty balance for ATLUS ONLINE currency! Brazilians can search for new locations here.

What else do I like about Brazil? D’aww, I’m glad you asked!

1 – The national bird is the rufous-bellied thrush. There’s also macaws and toucans!

2 – Brazil’s home to the largest rainforest in the world: the Amazon. It’s like a Pandora Saga conjurer summoned trees while on steroids.

3 – There are up to four million species of plants and animals in Brazil alone. Talk about an enormous monster spawn chart…

We hope you enjoy this all-new Crowns special!

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

  • What’s your favorite thing about Brazil?
  • Have you ever purchased Crowns through Rixty?
  • What’s better: plants or animals?
