From Codemasters:

Codemasters Online Gaming have hooked up with NEO Magazine to bring you 10 Day Free Trials of both ArchLord & Rising Force Online this month. Be sure to grab your copy when it hits the streets on the 24th May!

The official Blizzard website has a small addition along the bottom. They have added a game timeline, showing the last 20 or so years, and the games that Blizzard has released during that time, illustrated in timeline style. The last entry is a question mark, of course, and that is the one we are all waiting to hear about. Expect more teasing before we get some real info.

Codemasters has announced that they have increased the drop rate for all of Archlord. This 30% drop rate increase comes off the back of our very successful Double Drop weekend, there was lots of positive feedback from everyone involved.
