The time has come. You have waited for it and now it is possible.

With the release of DoomWood Part 2, players will be able to reforge the fabled Blinding Light of Destiny.

World Premiere!?.
Today, after the live draw event (which the Everything Lore staff will be attending), players will be welcome to view a stop motion video. This video will show the amazing and epic battle between our hero Artix and the dreaded Sepulchure.

Action Figure Update
Because the Stopmotion video was created using the “Soon to be released on HeroMart” action figures, Artix revealed what will in-game treasures will be included with the figures.

Artix (Paladin) figure includes:
*5 exclusive cards for the AQworlds Card Game
*Paladin’s Castle – with working trap door.
*Palaidn HighLord Class
*PaladinHighlord’s Armor
*Artix’s Helm (not that he ever wears it… you should though!)
*Highlord’s Battleaxe of Destiny (Similiar to the Blinding Light)

Sepulchure (DoomKnight) figure includes:
*5 exclusive cards for the AQworlds Card Game
*DoomKnight’s Castle – with working trap door.
*DoomKnight Overlord Class
*DoomKnight Overlord’s Armor
*Sepulchure’s Helm (ULTRA RARE)
*Overlord’s DoomBlade

Not only are the in-game items AMAZING but so too are the figures themselves. The special “Black Armor” of the figures are going to be VERY LIMITED so grab one when you can.Artix expects them to become extremely rare and desirable in the future.

Well, that is it for now. Make sure to check back for future updates!

No, Artix is not telling us how to start meaningful relationships. He posts today about the female model for AQ3D. She is named Poly the Countess*

Artix posts that the gateway to the soul is through the eyes so the Team has been working hard or achieving the perfect eyes for the model. As you can see, many edits have been made since the bare model AE originally posted and I feel this amazing transformation will continue.

Best of luck “Getting the Girl” AE!

Amazing Akiba!

Artix also tells us about the Japanese town of Akiba, or Akihabara. You may recognize the town from an area in-game in AQWorlds. That area was inspired by Artix’s many journeys as well as his love for the town. He describes what can only be called Otaku Heaven. I hope to visit there one day!

Well, that is the update for today! Make sure to comment below if you would like to share a thought or if you have any requests on pieces we should report on.

Nafets Out!

*Poly the Countess is a play on the term Polycount.

Today, Kiara gives us a nice update about the progress of AQ3D as well as asks what we think about it. Yergen and Thyton have come up with an amazing storyline for the game. I, personally, am very curious about said storyline and will be digging for more details. Now that they have a storyline the team is starting to work on the finer details.

Kiara asks:
*How do you feel about voice acting in our existing games so far? Would you like to see more voice acting in the 3D game? Would you like someone famous to voice act a major boss or are you happy with anyone as long as the voice acting is done well?

*Which are you looking forward to more: questing with your friends or by yourself? (This is just a curiosity question. You will be able to do both, of course.)

*Are you looking forward to discovering hidden quest lines and secret areas in the new world?

*What do you think is missing in other games that you would love to see in AQ3D?

If you would like to answer these questions and/or give a few of your own ideas to the staff you can comment on Kiara’s post located at (http://www.artix.com/blog/post/aq3d-artix-and-the-undead).

Artix Stands Strong!
It seems the war is no where near over. Kiara thinks that even though this is the biggest invasion the world has seen in years, Artix will prevail. Let’s all wish him luck!

Today, Yergen took a break from creating dungeons to show us a possible location in AQ3D. He posted two bits of concept art from Llussion.

Massive Castle Walls

Town Square

Thyton, Llusion, and Yergan design a kingdom as one would in real life. The focus mostly on protecting the kingdom by imagining how they would be attacked.

Hopefully, using this strategy, they will be able to design amazing cities and kingdoms for us to explore.

The portal is open! Now begins the first stage of AQ3D! I have already claimed Nafets as my name.

Battle On!

We told you we would update you, so hear it is.

You may remember the bug attack that caused pre-registration to AQ3D to be canceled. Well, next Thursday at 6pm EST, pre-registration will open. You can check if you qualify by logging into your Master Account at portal.battleon.com.

Update 2: It seems that AE has lost the battle between themselves and the bug. After much work, Artix has decided to reschedule the pre-registration.

As an apology, Artix has increased pre-registration from being worth 100 alpha points to 200 alpha points.

Also, if you are not sure if you will be allowed to pre-register you can check by logging into your MASTER account at http://portal.battleon.com/.

We are so sorry for all of you who stayed up to register your names. We will update you with whatever information we receive.

Update 1: It seems that the master bug did arise. Account creation has been pushed back. Artix is now meeting with coders to see what is going on. We will keep you posted!

Best of luck AE!
