Most successful weekend event ever!

Last week, we had what was probably the most exciting event ever held in Battle Stations yet. A giant ancient flying fortress appeared over the dunes of Al Amraan and airship captains from all over flew in to meet the challenge: To try to sink the fortress and get one of the 3 rare weapons given as a reward for sinking the legendary fortress.

8.5 million HP spread over 3 instances was not insurmountable as thousands of players participated in the weekend event, sinking the fortress 3 times!



Here's the traffic statistics for the weekend event:
Saturday > 12K unique users
Sunday > 15K unique users

Wow. That goes a long way to helping us hit our target of 50,000 UU per month!

Yep.

Don't worry we got more boss monsters lined up for weekend events.

I liked the bat.
Oh man the bat was sweet.

Do you ever take submissions for artwork ideas? I'd do it just for fun. You are using Vector right?

Cervantes de Leonard said...

Sure just send us your artwork (leonard@tylerproject.com).

We use vector for the ships and parts. Characters are non vector.

The backgrounds being done right now are vector with gradients.

Finally the special effects for the full version will be done using particle illusion.

ah! So that's the mirage fortress. Didn't expect to see it like having 3mil Hitpoints. I was expecting a couple of hundred thousand or so.

Hopefully there are more events lined up for the weekends and perhaps crazy stuff like... 1AP per 5min!!
