World Exclusive First Hands-On Preview of Bounty Bay Online - Storm Island Content Addon

Posted November 29th, 2007 by Shayalyn

There's a Storm (Island) a-Brewin'!

You may know Bounty Bay Online (BBO) for being the first nautical exploration and combat MMORPG to hit the Western market. You may even know the IP from BBO's microtransaction-supported counterpart, Voyage Century Online. But what you may not know is that developers Snail Game and Yusho / Frogster Interactive have big plans for the game, and Storm Island is just the tip of the volcano. Join Ten Ton Hammer in this world exclusive reveal of a content expansion focused on high-level character combat as Yusho Product Manager Konstantin Drewitz leads us from instance to instance in a visually rich tour of the island, and learning about the other exciting changes on tap for Bounty Bay Online.

The bulk of the new content, however, will be found in the island that shares its name with the update. Storm Island does have a handful of persistent areas, but at its core is a progression of four instanced dungeons intended for groups of five players. While instancing was previously used for resource gathering areas, this marks the first time we'll see a typical dungeon instance model in Bounty Bay Online.
