New! Greenguard themed dragon travel forms
Gaz, the shady sneevil on the cart in town is now selling Elvenguard and Green Dragon travel forms. Transform at will and hover across the land at 130% speed.

Get your Dricken travel form while you can!
If you want the Dricken travel form, you do not have much time left. They will disappear from Gaz's shop and be replaced when Greenguard goes live! Replaced with what? Well, I retweeted Cysero's leak on my Twitter.

This weekend only! Early collectors save 10%
As per tradition, we are releasing these new travel forms at a discount for a limited time. The price will increase to the full amount at the end of the weekend (actually, due to the hurricane coming through here in Tampa, FL... it will increase after we get power restored.)

Elvenguard Dragon
Armored dragon which matches the Elevenguard armor set found in Greenguard

Green Dragon
A dragon... that is... green. The title of this one really hits the mark.

The hair-pocolypse has begun!
Head to the barber shop for all new ways to customize your hero including....

Beards

Braids

Eye color

Lip color
... yes, we added black

New Skin colors

New Hair Colors

Spin your character around!
Even if the spinning is a wee bit wobbly due to the pivot point on your hero's idle position (fix for another time.)

Random Button!
...which potentially creates wondrous and horrifying results!

Your hero looks better in the light and the dark!
We have adjusted the characters to pop a little more, while still being effected by nearby lights. This will make your character look better in the dark... which, if you already played the new Greenguard release you know is VERY IMPORTANT.

Hair-etic! Freedom to customize regardless of gender
When adding beards, braids, and customizable lip colors, we were asked if only males would be allowed to have beards. But we all have a dwarven friend that likes his womenfolk bearded with a battleaxe. So we decided to give ALL customization options to both genders. This took a little extra work, because the male and female heads are different shape-- but we are sure someone out there will appreciate it.

Female heroes no longer look alien!
Thank you for all of the positive feedback on this! We spent a lot of time on the female hero's geometry, texture, and expressions. Oishii, who designed the characters in DragonFable did the final pass on the face and we were really proud that it finally made it out in this release.

New hair styles coming! "Hairdo's and Don'ts"
A few weeks back I asked for your suggestions on anime-esque hair styles and we have the first batch of the new ones coming soon. It is exciting to see how unique everyone looks now... and the more options we add, the more interesting it will get!

Post a "barber shop selfie!"
I would love to see your character. Post a link to a screenshot in the comment section below of your character. You can post either in the barbershop or just zoomed in on the face--- which reminds me, we increased both the pinch to zoom & wheel zoom so you can get a better shot of your character now.

The grass really is greener on this side
"OMG! I can transform into a Bush!" - a random player who should have been talking about the world plot, cinematics, mini-bosses, surprises, secrets, challenges, puns, and ...yup, you really can find a secret that lets you transform into a bush.

The world plot begins
Who is this strange scythebow wielding guy? What does that gold symbol on his chest mean? Who does his hair? Wait... scythebow? How do you use a bow made out of two scythes!?

"Feels like an Artix Entertainment game now!"
Check out the new Greenguard and you will find we not only listened to your feedback, but also poured in a little of the secret sauce. (R.I.P "The Grind")

Go into the field with the world's foremost Frogzard Expert. He knows them inside and out... literally.

King Sneed got himself a frogzard mount
He also now lives atop an impressively tall Sneevil Tree fort. Perhaps you can claim that box crown for yourself?

Brutalcorn lives!
50% Unicorn, 50% BRUTAL!!!!!! Do you have what it takes to challenge our dude-bro version of Monty Python's Black Knight?

Better crafting!
As you progress through the story you will unlock different things to craft-- starting with the Zardscale armor set. You will find it is much faster and more fun to make items now.

Challenge fights & secrets!
We hid things around Greenguard forest for you... most you can handle yourself with the right gear. But to battle the Clawg, you will need to bring a few tough friends.

This is just a nice picture...
Not sure if you are still reading at this point. Just checking.

Beating around the... bush!
There is a secret hidden in the forest which... if found, will allow any hero to transform themselves into a bush at will. Excels at hiding, sneaking, espionage, and x-treme bush racing. Moves at 0% travel speed.

Play the new Greenguard
Did I mention the Stone in the Sword in the Stone thing? Come play the new Greenguard with us. Simply login and choose Greenguard from the travel menu. Battle on!

P.S. We (Artix Entertainment / The AdventureQuest 3D Team) are located in Tampa, Florida. We have secured the lab and are now bracing for Hurricane Irma which appears to be coming for a visit. It is the biggest hurricane in current history. Do not worry, the game servers will not be effected, they are in Texas. But the staff and I may be unavailable/offline for a few days if the power goes out, or we have to fight sharks or whatever else the hurricane hurls at us. If you see anyone ask why we/player support/Heromart has not responded right away, please let them know we will get them fixed up as soon as we are back online. To everyone in the path of the hurricane, be safe.

P.P.S. If you have any problems be sure to go to options on the login screen and "Clear Cache"
