HAMBURG, March 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bigpoint's new Drakensang Online trailer (http://www.bigpoint.com/) masterfully illustrates the online battles that players will soon face in their browsers. Loads of other game details and pictures about the free-to-play MMO await interested fantasy fans on the official website http://www.drakensang-online.com/. Now the community can come together on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/drakensangonline/) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/drakensang/) and get an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the development of Drakensang Online.

Drakensang Online combines the best game elements of an action RPG with an MMORPG and makes it possible for players to enjoy all these spectacular features directly in their browser without any annoying client download or installation. Players don't only jump into the world of Drakensang Online faster, but also experience breathtaking battles more intensely and at a quicker pace than in classic MMORPGs. The dynamic combat system based on hit detection will make the game more transparent, eliminating complicated stat calculations and replacing them with direct combat values.

A key point of interest in Drakensang Online's development is the revised game rules, which promise RPG fans the depth of play that they've been hoping for. Each character class will have wide array of elements to choose from, which will continually be expanded upon - thus granting different skills, strengths and weaknesses to every player. Besides the endless customization options, Drakensang Online tells a enthralling story. A vast sum of quests to complete, items to be found, battles to win and distant lands to explore are all part of the player's experience in the kingdom of Duria.
