The Escalation: An update to Roma Victor announced

Yashpal SharmaMar 29 2007

Roma Victor and RedBedlam Ltd. are the couple of names that I think you are bit ignorant, but not for me because the developer company RedBedlam Ltd is the name who dares confront Linden Lab's gigantic virtual project Second Life that I am sure you are not unfamiliar with.

Roma Victor is also a similar venture of RedBedlam like Linden's Seconds Life that is an MMORPG or you can say it a virtual World as well. The basis of Roma Victor is 2nd century Roman Empire. Currently, the Roma Victor is in Beta Stage and will be out on July 14th, 2007.

The Beta test is going pretty well as the developers have received some supportive feedback that Roma developers are including to their innovative work. The update is The Escalation.

We received a copy of Press Release from Nick Witcher, Communications Director RedBedlam. The latest update is as follows:

The Escalation of Roma Victor:

After releasing a string of highly successful updates, the developer of the classical MMORPG, Roma Victor has announced some exciting new features including new guild and political systems.

Independent UK developer RedBedlam Ltd recently published another 'State of the World' insight into its development activities and is now pleased to announce a major planned update: 'The Escalation'.

'The Escalation' update for Roma Victor is scheduled to be released in May 2007. As well as featuring significant updates for the guild and encounter systems, this free expansion includes a sophisticated mechanism for player elections, founding new settlements and even introduces the possibility of conquering, pillaging and looting these player-run settlements.

The key towns and forts along Hadrian's Wall will continue to operate under Roman Provincial Law with all of its associated political intrigue, mercantile opportunities, state protection and harsh penalties. However, new settlements are expected to spring up both north and south of 'The Wall', and tensions are sure to rise as various player Tribes, Houses and Cults vie for power and territory in this new, dynamic landscape. Doubtless the other guild classes - such as Warbands, Auxilia and Legions, will play a pivotal combat role in the inevitable power struggles.

Many of these advanced features make use of one of RedBedlam's latest additions to Roma Victor - the highly anticipated particle effects system, which adds vivid and sometimes gritty realism to the world with features such as blood, sweat, dust, sparks, flames, smoke and much, much more.

Kerry Fraser-Robinson, RedBedlam's MD:

Our historic virtual world is being shaped by its own community. We've provided the land, resources and political system but it's the players that hone their skills, master their crafts and fight for their land.

RedBedlam is planning to introduce further improvements and changes, not least of which is the re-introduction of an active in-game story arc driving events and intrigue forward in exciting new ways.
