Dragonica New Origin from gPotato
-
10-10-2011 7:12pm#1Hello all,
Just around the corner from Boards HQ is a company called Gala-Networks who you might also know as gPotato. They produce free to play games of all sorts, and are quite likely best known for their MMO Space Opera Allods Online.
Before I go any further, I'd like to clarify that this is a commercially driven post and is a part of an advertising deal that Boards.ie has with Gala-Networks - I wanted to make that clear so everyone knows this post isn't appearing out of nowhere
gPotato have a rather fun 2D hack'n'slash style game called Dragonica which has just had a major expansion called New Origin. I've been given a number of Starter Packs for the game which include the following:- Jacks Bean (Group EXP Boost) x 12
- EXP Potion x2 (1 hour) x 10
- HP Eternity Potion (M) x 1
- MP Eternity Potion (M) X 1
I just played some for the last 40 mins or so and after an initial "OK, where is everything, I forget" it came flooding back to me.
All of gPotato's games are free to play - there is optional micro-transaction support for ingame items if you see something you'd like. I'll also take this moment to introduce Jamie who works for gPotato as their Marketing Manager and hopefully he'll be here to answer any questions or queries you might have. He's been on our MMO forum giving us a preview of two of their upcoming games called Sevencore (Fantasy MMORPG) and Age of Wulin (Ancient China Martial Arts inspired MMO) and with a bit of luck, we might be able to arrange some exclusive treats for Boardsies!
So if you're interested in getting your hands on one of the Dragonica Starter Packs, post on this thread and in the mean time, you can be downloading the game from here - remember, it's completely free!0

Hi everyone,
Thanks for that Dav, much appreciated
Yeah, Dragonica is great craic, I currently play it on my SNES pad, but you can also get it working on more modern pads too. It would be great if we can get a boards.ie guild going, as we've people from all over Europe playing the game, but very few from Ireland.
If you've any questions about the game, please don't hesitate to post here and I'll do my best to reply? I'm playing as a Warrior / Knight, and my wife plays as an Archer / Arbalist.
Thanks

Hi Sharrow,
Yep, your best bet is to check out http://www.youtube.com/dragonicaen and under favourites, there are a lot of fan submitted videos.
Also, the trailer before the current one has lots and is below
Enjoy!

Another batch of codes just gone out there folks.
I'll pop Jamie an email and see if he can spare some time today to get some of the questions answered.
denballs - is there any particular reason you're being so aggressive? That may not be your intention, but that's how it reads. Why would anyone play any game - the only answer is because they enjoy it. Here you're getting a chance to play the full thing for free rather than a demo. I've got 25ish hours clocked up on this game and haven't encountered any need or reason to want to pay for anything in it yet. The game playes like Golden Axe or Streets of Rage - both of which are games I loved when they were all the rage in the arcades and so this is something I have a bit of fun with and it's not costing me anything except my lunch times
The starter packs I have here are for Boardsies - Jamie will be able to answer any questions you might have on referral/recruitment.0 -

Hi guys,
Right, in answer to the questions
Jelle1880, yes it does. I play on a SNES pad using JoyToKey and map the buttons to the buttons I want to use. Hit escape in the game and there is an option to set up USB pads, and PS3 and Xbox 360 pads work, but usually only one of the sticks (to move the mouse cursor).
denballs, runescape, evony are browser games, and if you want to sit there all day clicking a screen, feel free. But if you want a button basher that's very fast paced, Dragonica is for you. It's NOT WoW, or does it try to be. Plus it's published from Dublin.
Yes it is free, no subscriptions, you can play the game from start to finish without spending a penny, no areas are unavailable to you. If you want your character or weapon skins, you can buy these, or alternatively people trade some of the shop items in the auction house. You can level fairly quick by doing combos, getting with a group if you can't solo a bit, or yes there are things to help double experience etc. But you get a bunch of these in the starter packs, so you really don't need to use these till after level 20. So it's not like a car, you don't need to buy it, you can play the entire game for as long as you like without spending a penny. Many of our players do.
Finally, yes we support players from outside Europe, we have a sort of IP block, but there is a big button on http://dragonica.gpotato.eu that you click "Register my IP" and it'll let you into the game after about a minute. You can earn gPotato for players you refer to us, details are at http://en.gpotato.eu/Account/Referral/ , you just need to get people to register through a particular link on your facebook, blog, boards sig etc.
Orion, your account name (the account you use to log in) is one thing, and the second thing is a forum name. We keep them seperate, so people can't see your forum name and try and log into your account. You can then have whatever name you like for your character name.
Ropedrink - The game has been completely overhauled since you played it, hope you like the new version And yes, the codes work on any account, whether it's a new player, or someone already with an account. Your character will still be there
If other people have questions, I'll happily answer, cheers!

Thanks for that, some decent info in there.
Just a question though, I got the game from the website and when unzipping it it said the file was corrupt. I tried twice, twice got the same issue.
Then I got a torrent file, patched everything and then when I start the game it says:
'The program can't start because nmcogame.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.'
Re-installed it, same issue
