World's First Mobile Game Flash Mob Draws Thousands

[Samhayne]

AUSTIN, Texas – June 17, 2011 – Thousands of players flooded Pocket Legends, the largest mobile MMO with more than 4 million downloads, to participate in the world’s first in-game, mobile flash mob during E3 to “Find the Droid.” Spacetime Studios gave away more than 11,000 Sony Xperia PLAY themed vanity items during the online event.

During E3 the Droid mascot of the Android brand would appear in game during promoted intervals and race across the world. Players that successfully chased down the Droid were awarded an Xperia PLAY button icon (X, O, Δ and □) to place over their character’s head. Hints to where and when the Droid would appear were provided via Sony Ericcson’s and Spacetime Studios’ social media channels.

"Spacetime Studios is one of the premiere developers on Android right now and their games will bring a completely new online gaming experience to Xperia PLAY consumers," said Dominic Neil-Dwyer, head of market development from Sony Ericsson. "The world's first in-game, mobile flash mob showed the power of community in a game like Pocket Legends, bringing thousands of people together to play virtually."

Spacetime Studios’ fantasy MMO Pocket Legends will be optimized for the Xperia PLAY this month. The addition of Pocket Legends to the Xperia PLAY lineup corresponds closely with the release of two new campaigns, raising of the level cap, and the introduction of player-run guilds.

Completely the opposite lol

[Whirlzap]

I think AEO needs a twink division.
Also, guild feature is exciting, I want to make and join a guild.

[JaytB]

Woot! New level cap :D :banana: :banana: :banana:

Woot! Guilds :D :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Nightarcher]

Two dungeons! So one for the level cap raise, and the other one is probably an Elite dungeon we saw in the FB 50k like preview. I like this :)

Probably the second dungeon is a revamp?

Ask the dev's to revive your old character? :D

[DJMdivine]

I am super stoked for all this to come out! I have been leveling my alts while waiting for this campaign so I have kept myself busy the whole time. Not only that, but it seemed once as everything died down for a bit again STS just built it back up in a matter of minutes/hours. Its funny how this game is so good every big update makes you wonder "what will be next".

[superglut2]

shadow caves II and Sewers II. they made a I on shadiw cave maps in host screen btw.

[Violentsaint]

damb.. i only just started playing again. im only lvl 53! i need some peeps to help me grind to 56 so i can get me one of those crowns of persistance before the cap increases otherwise ill miss out! D:

[Redbridge]

Hey V, when you on next... Ima on the same journey.... and been doing lots of 'Slushie' runs...

PM me...

[Snakespeare]

VS, the grind to 56 is not likely at this point because it takes 10x normal XP from 55 to 56 and that means it will take 10x as long as it will take to get from 54 to 55. The crown of persistence will change, some guesses are that it will become a vanity item or will remain a level 56 item. Nobody knows really. Then there will be a new crown of persistence for level 61 players. We'll get to 60 normally, then have to grind 10x the XP again for 61. So, I think it's too late. But maybe not. Can't hurt to try.

edit: That said, it can't hurt to try. When the new maps come out, any XP you gained between 55 and 56 will be divided by 10. For instance, Jewelthief has 1178 of 83840 presently, but that will change to 118 of 8384 after the release.

I cant wait guys;D
