Third Class has arrived! Race to Third Class!

The Wizard

The Wizard is the next evolution of the Mage. They use awesome Magic to destroy enemies from far away. With the power of Fire he is given the Volcano, an AOE short range burts of fire, the Fire Ball that can stun monsters, and Magic Flame that drops from the heavens on an unsuspecting target. With the power of Ice, the Ice Ball can be cast from a distance and can slow his enemies attacks.

The Warrior

The tank, the protector, the mighty Warrior. Charge into the middle of armies and Fire Swing with a AOE burst of flame. Slash through monsters with a deadly Force Cut. Sacrifice yourself to save those you have sworn to protect with Power Reinforce which increases your damage at the cost of your life. The Warrior is the ultimate soldier and defender of the continent of Xen.

The Assassin

Hide in shadows, and step lightly. This silent killer is lurking so be on the watch. He now comes equipped with deadly blade skills and claws that surprise any enemy or foe. The Dust Blade and the Breeze Dagger cut with force and precision. Evade attacks with Light Masque. For those that run from the Assassin, beware his Starlight Shot. Keep your eyes open, and alert your senses for the Assassin has come to defeat you all.

The Priest

Be blessed with the Holy Power of Light, and be saved by its follower, the Priest. The Priest will support any party and not only keep you alieve but make you stronger on your missions. Fury against enemies with increased int, critical hit, and movement. Noble is his shield that protects from damage. Use the power of light to vanquish evil. Essential is the Priest, and the light of Jureah will protect those in need.

The time has come for the Soldiers of Xen to move on to the next chapter of the story. Protect the land from the evil that wishes to rule it. This is only the beginning ...

On April 22 all around the world, people celebrate Earth Day. Earth day is a time to relfect about what you are doing to help protect the planet and the environment. Colleges, universities, organizations, and nations gather on this day to remeber what has been done, and to look to the future of our planet for generations to come. One of the most important parts of Earth day is the planting of trees. For the past 10 days, Outspark and Secret of the Solstice has been collecting a percentage of the proceeds from all of you through the purchase of items in our Secret of the Solstice store. We had set out to collect enought to plant 10,000 trees around the world. I happy to announce that as of last night, we have reached our goal of 10,000.

To celebrate Earth Day and to thank all of our players for helping us reach our goals, we will be having an Earth Day Party tomorrow at 5:00 PM PST. Get your Earth Day Emoticons ready, and grab those Earth Day Helmets becuase its going to be a blast. Join and rider and Break in showing the world that gaming helps the environment. We've got min-games, trivia'a, special guests, prizes and more! This is going to be the best party ever!

This just in. The evil princess Mariane has just led an attack on Essense with an evil horde of monsters. She first attacked Eir with desert creatures that resembled camels of some sort. As the warriors of Xen rushed to Eir's aid, she led an even bigger attack on Essene with Houdick's and Cursed Storms. The decoy was not enough to fool our soldiers. Fighters charged into Essene with Mages and Priest's close behind. Archer's lured the creatures away from unsuspecting recruits and Templars sprang into action defending the other xenians. It was a glorious battle full of wonder and excitement. With the death of the last Cursed Storm, the day was saved!

Adeline server has been blessed by the goddess Jureah. She has granted the continent a 40% boost in experience gained from killing monsters. Congratualtions to all of Xen! Job well done.
