Last Chaos is receiving a lot of new content today, ranging from new armor and weapons to a new high-level end-game dungeon. There's even a new crafting system and the addition of an alternate leveling system called "The Phoenix System." Aeria Games released more information about it in a press release:

An alternate character advancement system dubbed "The Phoenix System" will add a new element to leveling. These "Phoenix" characters will have extra statistic points, and will do more overall damage than normal characters. The characters will also be easily identifiable by their unique armor and weapons.

Keep reading after the jump for the full press release, which contains more information on this first phase in a "massive overhaul" of the game. Last Chaos is free-to-play.

Election Day will be held in the United States tomorrow to finally answer the question of who will be the next president: Barack Obama or John McCain. While the historic race has been featured in all types of media, it has also seeped into the world of MMORPGs.

For example, Aeria Games is holding its own virtual election in Last Chaos. Two packages have been placed in the items mall, one each for Obama and McCain, and the candidate who sells the most packages between Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 will be declared the Last Chaos president.

While you can watch or read any number of news outlets for numerous up-to-the-minute presidential polls, it's interesting to see such an event captured in a virtual world. After all, most MMOs celebrate holidays with huge events, so it seems fitting for large political events to find a place in-game, as well.
