| Stratics Exclusive - Interview with Earthrise Art Director Nikolay Stoyanov | |
| Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008, 3:42 AM EDT by *zigzag* (NetworkNews) |
Stratics is proud to present the first in a series of behind-the-scenes interviews with some of the key players behind the sci-fi, post-apocalyptic online RPG Earthrise, Masthead Studios' premiere MMO project. The Bulgarian-based production and development team for Earthrise envision a game where their players will not only be entranced by a richly detailed storyline brimming with drama and adventure but also where these players are plunged into an immersive and visually stunning world rife with dangerous realms teeming with creatures both fantastic and horrific, and vast cityscapes bustling with advanced technology all set in the bleak future of our planet Earth. The first to sit down with us is Nikolay Stoyanov, Art Director for Earthrise and head of the team responsible for ensuring that this vision follows through from the rough, yet beautifully rendered concept artwork to a polished final product that tantalizes eyes and imaginations alike.

| Posted on Tuesday, December 25, 2007, 9:02 PM EST by Watchertoo (NetworkNews) |
We have received this from our Network News Staff at Stratics.com: WoW Stratics Winter Veil Giveaway! Winter Veil is upon us and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a murloc.... Wait, that doesn't rhyme! So what do a murloc, Winter Veil, and WoW Stratics all have in common? Nothing really, WoW Stratics is giving away FIVE cards with redeemable codes on them for a Murloc Suit for Winter Veil this year. That's right, these are the same cards that were given away to Blizzcon 2007 attendees this past year. In addition to the Murloc Suit, each card contains a beta key for a future unannounced Blizzard game. Does it really get any better than that? I don't think so. So how do you win one of these very rare and sought after prizes? Glad you asked. - Step 1: Compose a letter from your World of Warcraft character to Greatfather Winter on what he/she wants for Winter Veil this year.
- Step 2: Login to your forum account (or if you don't have one Register here for your free account)
- Step 3: Make sure on your account that your email address is recent and active - This is important if you win and want your prize!
- Step 4: Reply to my post (Eldorian) on this contest thread with your letter to Greatfather Winter. Note that in order to enter you MUST hit reply ONLY on the first post. If you reply to someone elses post you will not be entered. You will only be allowed to enter once.
We will then randomly select the five users who meet the above criteria. On Friday December 28, 2007 we will then email those 5 winners based on their email accounts they have listed in their profile asking for their mailing address so we can send them their prize. Please add eldorian@stratics.com to your safe sender list so this does not get sorted out by your spam filter. The winners once confirmed will be announced. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the forums or email eldorian@stratics.com . For rules to this contest and all the legal mumbo jumbo click here.
