Quibble Coinbiter comes to Town
Is it just me, or does he always visit Battleon just before a new Lord of Chaos appears? Get his never-before-seen used items and a secret or two about the next Chaos Lord before he leaves.


Journey to Yokai Isle
In the Far East there is a island full of the strangest and most unusual monsters you have never heard of. It is called Yokai Isle. No foreigner has been allowed to enter in 1,000 years. But that is about to change. A great tournament is about to take place on the island and Princess Miko has sent hand written invitations to the strongest and most powerful heroes in the land. Did you get one?

The biggest event of the year is coming!
Also... do not forget that AQworld's 1st Birthday is quickly approaching. We are going to throw a HUGE party. Have ideas? Let us know on the forums!

Now that you’ve loaded up on plundered loot, you MIGHT be interest to know that Quibble has some interesting insight on the next Lord of Chaos!

Invitation to the DragonKoi Tournament on Yokai Isle
Meanwhile, heroes are receiving invitations to the DragonKoi Tourmament from Princess Miko! Check your email, it is in the middle of this week's special newsletter. (Please flag the letter as not spam if it got filtered into your spam box.) The invitation seems to be a Haiku, a japanese poem. But, is there some sort of secret message hidden within the letters of the poem?

To get to Yokai Island you will need a boat. Maybe the Pirates can help you out.... it is Talk like a Pirate Day after all! The Tournament starts next Friday -- you need to get a ride there by then!

Game Engine Updates!
Every engine needs a tune-up from time to time. And ours just got a bit better.

•If you /ignore a player they can no longer /goto you
(Woooohooooo!)
•All NPC & Dialog Boxes have had a speed increase
•Achievement Icons have started beeing added to your character Pages with tool tips to explain them.
•We moved the Game version number to the lower right of the game login screen (Oooh, a new one!)

Epic engine updates, and a fun war. The only drawback is that Quibble is obviously very hungry for AC's right now. Every on eof his items is AC. On the other hand, the Kappas in the war drop a Beta item for free players, so, woo-hoo!
