Tales of Pirates: Servers Optimum Aims at Good Gaming Environment

With the success of the Bounty Hunter and PvP map, the Tale of Pirates (http://top.igg.com) servers have been putting in some extra work and it’s time to head into port for a major overhaul that will restructure the servers for better overall performance and stability.

The first step in the overhaul process is the merger of Penguin Isle and Mist Isle servers. The merger took place at 3:00am on August 10th EDT (GMT-4). Players on those servers don’t need to worry about staying up late because the ToP officials have stated that no player info will be affected by the merger. After the merger, players will be able to enjoy a more stable and active environment for all sorts of pirate fun!

The second step in the process is the launch of a brand new server at 2:00pm on August 19th EDT (GMT-4). This new server will be known by the mysteriously fanciful name, Eclipse Isle. For players having a hard time or not feeling comfortable in their server, remember, a new server always means a new start! Along with the debut of the new server, the ToP officials have said they will be offering 3 fun filled events featuring big prizes to start things off right! In the Leveling Contest, players will be competing to win the powerful Azreal Set, tons of EXP from the Multiple Exp event and enough Sand Bag monsters to hold back a river! So come join the fun with ToP and IGG!!

Tales of Pirates - Maze-Cross-Harbor Tunnel Guide

The folks at Tales of Pirates want to tell you about the Cross-Harbor Tunnel. It is a fun underwater world on Spring Town with various kinds of cute little monsters. But be careful of their attacks! Players above level 65 can make a team and travel that mysterious Cross-Harbor Tunnel!

Guide of the Maze:

• Step 1: look for the underground Watercourse of Spring Town.
  
• Step 2: get through the maze after entering the underground Watercourse to reach the entrance of the Cross-Harbor Tunnel.
  
• Step 3: get into Cross-Harbor Tunnel
  

The maze monsters:

• Level 62 Long Hair Crab has Binding Skill, and drops the items: Long Hair Crab Pincer, Long Hair Shell, Tinder, Pink Crystal, Hurricane Vest, Lucky Bunny Muffs etc. (The Tinder can be used to resist Baby Icy Dragon’s Frost Breath.)
  
• Level 68 Cursed Water Fairy has Cursing Skill, and drops the items: Whirlpool Boots, Rattlesnake, Revival Clover, Arista etc. (The Arista can be used to resist Long Hair Crab’s Binding.)
  
• Level 65 Baby Icy Dragon has Frost Breath Skill, and drops the items: Cursed Bone, Blessed Shield, Protector Robe etc. (The Cursed Bone can be used to resist Cursed Water Fairy’s Curse.)
  
• The Level 75 Icy Dragon is a BOSS, guarded by many Cursed Water Fairies. We suggest players kill the little critters around first before killing the BOSS, because if they are cursed, it will decrease their Defense by about 100 points. After killing the Icy Dragon, players will obtain a Dragon's Tear, a level 75 Bow of Dusk and Faerie Gloves etc. (Dragon's Tear is a prop which grants players an attractive quest after use. But players need to explore it themselves. )
