Circumnavigate the globe via Cape
Horn in New Bounty Bay Online Expansion
In ‘Beyond the Horizon’ Frogster
is going to expand Bounty Bay Online with South America and six new cities
The largest ever expansion for
Bounty Bay Online is set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2009 under the name
of ‘Beyond the Horizon’. Right from first glance the add-on will integrate a
significant geographical expansion of the historical explorer and sailor world.
With South America, experienced players will receive a completely new continent
as a destination for their voyages of exploration. Six new port cities ranging
across the western coasts of South and North America serve as focus points for a
vibrant trade with the new world.
For the first time ocean adventurers
will have the opportunity to sail right around the whole world in ‘Beyond the
Horizon’ using the Cape Horn route. Passing by the village-like ‘Magellan Supply
Station’ on the tip of South America, players will be able to arrive at San
Diego. Those who venture further up north will discover the Mayan capital of
Salinas to be an important hub of the expansion. The tropical metropolis
represents the showplace for a high level quest line which leads player groups
past snakes, Maya guardians and other dangerous creatures in a jungle-draped
Mayan instance with some valuable treasures. Following Salinas players reach the
scenic Cruz in Middle America as well as San Francisco, the first glamorous and
sophisticated city on America’s west coast – each city featuring its own trading
port. In the far north players who aren’t too shy of the cold can discover the
snowy Seward and its off-shore icebergs on the Alaskan coast.
Frogster is going to publish the
expansion ‘Beyond the Horizon’ with its many new features in both German and
English language versions. A little later French players of Bounty Bay Online
will also be able to check out the new content, such as five new character
classes, the active pet system, new instances, new PvP arenas and tournaments,
new ranking system and new mini-games. In keeping with its predecessors, ‘Beyond
the Horizon’ will be available free of charge. Players can obtain regular
information bulletins about the up-coming expansion at this micro-site:
