Rise of Immortals acquires European Servers

Written by Raven Poplar

In a recently press release, Petroglyph unveiled that they are taking Rise of Immortals to a more global scale.

In response to rising player demand in Europe, Petroglyph recently deployed new server hardware in its London data center, thereby significantly reducing server ping times to the UK, Germany, the Russian Federation, Poland, and other European regions.

The statement goes on to say that European players will still be able to access North American servers and vice-versa, as no character is bound to any particular server. Rather, players join via an auto-connect function at the beginning of each game which selects the lowest ping time from a list of available servers. This allows for regional populations to play together, trending the likelihood that people close to their local servers will have the lowest ping time, but players will be automatically redirected when a server experiences downtime.

 

 

Petroglyph calls Rise of Immortals a Free-to-Play Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game with RPG elements, a F2P MOBARPG if you will. Free-to-Play meaning that the basic game is free of cost to everyone, but Petrogyph draws profit from a series of microtransactions that may occur in-game if the player wishes to expand their experience. MOBA is a style of Realtime Strategy gaming which draws heavily on the success of a particular Warcraft 3 map called Defence of the Ancients. The RPG elements involved include persistent experience earned towards levelling up each Immortal individually and a skill tree.

Features of Rise of Immortals:
Free-to-play
14 unique Immortals, with additional Immortals released on a regular basis
Persistent per-Immortal level progression and skill trees 
Persistent artifacts for stat enhancements
Player versus Environment instances with boss encounters
Player versus Player instances with up to 5v5 multiplayer
Player versus Bot instances with up to three-person cooperative play
Persistent experience and leveling in both PvP and PvE instances
Account and Immortal statistics tracking
Player hub instances for socialization

 

Rise of Immortals can be found on PC.
