To mark the 17th birthday of the popular anime MMO NosTale, Gameforge and Entwell have announced an extensive update that will be released shortly. This update will focus on new gameplay features such as in-game events, community competitions and a comprehensive overhaul of the raid and family system.

This year, players have already been surprised with exciting new features such as the second part of the Act 9 update, "The Heroes of Undercity", and various in-game events, including the "Summer Oasis". Now the upcoming update introduces the new hardcore raid system and an expansion of the family system.

Hardcore raid system: relive old challenges

A highlight of the new update is the hardcore raid system, which revives older raids and upgrades them with an increased level of difficulty and improved rewards. Players will have to work closely together and develop new strategies to overcome the new challenges.

Hardcore mode will be available in almost all previous acts of the game and is aimed primarily at experienced players who are ready to take on tough challenges. Changes such as increased entry levels and a reduced number of lives make these raids particularly demanding. Exclusive rewards and a new token system await successful completion.

Expanded family system: stronger together

In addition to the raids, the family system in NosTale has been revised. The maximum level for families will be raised to 30 and the experience curve will be rebalanced. New daily missions and one-time achievements offer families additional goals that can be achieved together.

With these changes, the game places a stronger focus on cooperative play and strengthening social bonds within the community.

Anniversary celebrations

Gameforge has prepared several special events for NosTale's 17th birthday celebrations. Players can look forward to a special birthday login calendar with daily gifts, including a free mount. There will also be community events such as a fan art competition that rewards creative players.

In addition, boost events with double experience, gold and increased drop rates are waiting to offer players an intense and fun experience during the anniversary.
