Two Worlds Content Now Available
The already large game Two Worlds just got a lot bigger SouthPeak Games today announced that the first of their two downloadable content packages for Two Worlds is now available through Xbox Live.
The first content packaged is titled Tainted Blood and significantly expands the game for only 600 Microsoft Points. It features four new multiplayer maps, over 35 new quests, and over 10 hours of additional gameplay.
“This pack of downloadable content is an excellent expansion for players who love playing Two Worlds with friends, and are ready for some new and exhilarating features,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “Tainted Blood not only adds to the game, but enhances it, making the overall experience even better.”
While Two Worlds was highly flawed, it was also fairly fun. Maybe it’s time for me to give the game another chance…
Two Worlds Multiplayer Updates
SouthPeak Games has just announced that they will be releasing two downloadable content expansions for Two Worlds.
Both of these packs will be available through Xbox Live and will expand the world of Antaloor with new multiplayer maps, new cooperative missions and player-versus-player challenges.
“Two Worlds has been a huge success for SouthPeak and much of its appeal has been a huge world to explore,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “Reality Pump has worked tirelessly to improve the multiplayer experience and the downloadable content is geared towards expanding upon it, offering lots of new missions and areas to explore with friends.”
The first of these expansions will be available for download in March, with the second becoming available in April. Both will cost 600 Microsoft points.

Bigger and Better Moradon
There is more area to explore and hunt in the new Moradon. The actual size of the town and the area to hunt monsters has been greatly increased! In order to leave Moradon though, you will have to attain level 35. This will allow players to join clans and learn more about teamwork earlier in the game.
New Quests to Complete
There are new quests to train players how to upgrade weapons and armor! Check with [Blacksmith] Heppa in Moradon to learn more. There are also quests to acquire new ranks of Knighthood and to obtain a pet to fight alongside you!
Pets
By completing a quest from [Familiar Trainer] Kate in Moradon, players can receive a pet egg that will hatch their new companion! Pets can fight alongside their masters, transform into other monsters, use skills to increase their master’s statistics, and even help gather treasure from fallen monsters!
The New Knight System
There are now 3 levels of knighthood in this new expansion. Once a clan has reached rank 3, they will be able to complete a quest in order to attain the rank of Squire. After reaching 252,000 Clan Points and completing the next quest, they will be able to become Knights. Finally, after amassing 1,080,000 Clan Points and defeating a very difficult foe, they can reach Royal Knighthood.
Each Knighthood level has 5 ranks and depending on how many Clan Points the clan has acquired, the clan will rise from rank 5 to rank 1 in each level. Once they have become rank 1, they can complete the quests listed above to advance their Knighthood level.
New Clan Communication Feature
There is a new clan communication feature called “Clan Notice”. Players will be able to post notices that the entire clan can see to organize events or important information that the clan needs to be aware of.
New Items
Through the new Juraid Mountain event, players will be able to attain precious gems of a multitude of colors that can be placed into the Chaotic Generator to exchange for special NEW unique items only available through this process! These new uniques include earrings, rings, belts, armor and weapons such as the String of Skulls and the Hero’s Valor!
Class Skill Changes
Mages and Rogues have had a few skill changes in the new expansion. Mages have had changes to Frozen Blood, Ice Staff, Lightening Staff, and Blink while Rogues have had damage output increased on their Blood Beast, Blinding, and Beast Hiding skills.
The Moradon Battle Arena
Ever wanted to challenge another party or clan to a battle but don’t want to change zones? Well now you can with the new Moradon Battle Arena! This new PvP enabled area inside of Moradon has no level requirement and everyone is an enemy except for people in your party.
New Event Dungeons and Wars
PvP in Knight Online just got even better with the addition of the Border Defense Wars and Juraid Mountain! There are low-level (35-45) and mid-level (60-69) Border Defense Wars which take place during specific times in the day. The objective is to be the first to destroy the other nation’s monument. If the monuments are not destroyed, the winner will be determined by the number of kills.
Juraid Mountain is a high level (70-80) PvP event where the objective is to fight through 3 separate rooms to reach the center room where the Boss must be defeated. The 2 nations will start at opposite ends of the map and work their way to the middle. The winning nation in this event will obtain precious gems which can be turned in to the Chaotic Generator for some very rare unique items!
The New Clan Point Contribution System
This new expansion allows Clan Leaders to have more control over their clan. Clan members also have a chance to contribute more and take more responsibility in the clan. There are two types of Clan Point contribution systems that can be chosen by the Clan Leader. The first is manual contribution where a set contribution amount can be determined by the player. The second is automatic contribution which pulls a percentage of National Point gain from each member of the clan to contribute to their Clan Points. Clan Points are used to determine Clan Rank and Level. Clan Points can also be used to purchase capes for the clan. If a player quits a clan, the clan will lose the total amount that the member has contributed. The member will only get a 30% refund of their total contribution as well.
Training Dummies
There are 3 different levels of training dummies located in Moradon for players to check damage levels and skill use (level 30, 60, and 80). There are also fixed and moving targets for players to practice on.
Clan Symbol Flags in Moradon
The top 5 clans in each nation will have their clan symbol attached to a flag that is flown in Moradon. Now everyone on the server can see which clan ranks supreme!
Fortune Teller
Curious what the future holds for you? If so, for 10,000 Noahs you can get your fortune from Fortune Teller McKin in Moradon!
