New Origins Release Date Announcement and Upcoming Game Balances

08/24/2011
It is my great pleasure to announce the newest expansion to come to Dragon Saga SEPTEMBER 1st... New Origins: Into the Darkness!

New Origin
A great darkness has covered the land of Dragon Saga and the world as you knew it has changed. Continents have shifted and a whole new race, Dragonkin, have appeared to help the Dragon Fellowship during their darkest time.

Will you rise to fight this Darkness?

Are you brave enough to challenge Elga, the Dark Dragon Lord?

Elga
With the coming update are several game Balances that will come into effect. These changes have been part of an ongoing discussion with Gravity Games, based on feedback collected from you, the players. If you have any feedback you would like to provide us regarding these changes or other changes please post it here.
