Forsaken World Launches Nightfall Expansion

The fantasy MMO from Perfect World Entertainment has just launched its newest expansion pack, dubbed Nightfall. 

Nightfall adds a ton of new content to the game, including flying mounts, a new Soul Power system, and new areas to explore. But there's more! If you are level 40 and you log into the game between March 28th and April 1st, you are given a Phantom Orb Chance Box for completely free, giving you a rare phantom pet.

If you have an old account you haven't opened in some time, this looks like a great time to dust it off.

ZAM Explores the Forsaken World!

“No!” I begged my editor, “Not another free-to-play game! I've done Pirates of the Burning Sea, Champions Online and I just tried out Mythos... and now you want me to do another?”

Now, I'm not biased... OK, maybe I am a little bit. Like many gamers I know, I tend to believe that you get what you pay for with free-to-play games, and I paid nothing. But my editor passed along an amusing anecdote that softened the mental blow: apparently after years of playing World of Warcraft and other subscription MMOs, a longtime friend of his had quit and been trying out multiple free-to-play games. "What were they?" I asked, thinking perhaps Lord of the Rings Online or Champions Online. Turns out one of them is a new game from Perfect World Entertainment that was “made with Western audiences in mind.” Named Forsaken World, it was the subject of my next article. Read on for my thoughts after the jump!
