Tokyo, Japan – 20 March 2013 – Einherjar – The Viking’s Blood is a F2P turn-based browser game developed by Appirits and released in February 2012. After more than 1 year of development, Appirits has released a recap of major in-game changes to help players easily catch what has been going in Einherjar. Specifically, those changes cover aspects regarding chat box, referral policy, reward system, quest, unit, equipment, and monster square. Details of those recaps in chronological order are as below.

First of all is the updated chat box. At the beginning, Einherjar players only communicate via guild chat section, that limiting the smooth communication to the whole community. That has been changed since the release of new chat box that is helpful for live sharing and discussion.

Second is beneficial Referral policy “More friends, more Power”. Power is an important factor which gives players many in-game benefits, like boosting activity time or summoning heroes. And the game has a referral policy that if players invite their friends to play, they will enjoy some benefits like in-game items and Power.

Third change is reward system for top 10 on ranking table. Being in the top players of Einherjar does not only give players fame but also rewards weekly. Top 10 players of the weekly battle ranking are now rewarded 10000 gold and 1 random gift (weapon, armor, accessory, material, item). And the reward list has been adjusted lately to give more valuable items to long time players.

Other necessary changes include variety of units and skills, higher level cap for units and buildings. There are many unit classes in Einherjar that are ranked from Job 1 (lowest) to 3 (highest). At the beginning, choices given to players were quite limited, but now more and more unique units have been added to help diversify their Viking army, such as Paladin, Succubus, Baphomet, etc. New units and heroes also come with brand new and unique skills (Magic Break, Valkyrie Protection, Lightning Speed, etc.) helping create more tactics suitable to each player. Besides, all stats of units have been increased respectively to give players stronger Viking fighters.

Moreover, there are also big updates in Einherjar database of items, maps and quests. Einherjar is unique for its destiny quest system. Players can choose a path to go on their destiny and there is no way to turn back. Now the number of paths is up to 7 and will be extended more later. Along with it, maps and items are inseparable to give fresh and interesting experience of utilizing different sets of equipment on players' adventure in a variety of maps filled with different strong enemies for them to conquer. New elite sets of weapons and armor (Adaman, Wolfram, etc.) are regularly updated to be useful for mightiest heroes.

And for players who rarely go on expeditionary battles, now they can earn rare materials (Asgard Crystal, God Blood, Hel Stone, etc.) through training in home territory. Though the collecting rate is low but it is worth time and they can make good use of weak units who cannot fight often.

Finally, a recent update called Monster Square has been released to help players summon Monster units to diversity their force and make the game playing more interesting. Some of them own unique useful skills that can help players a lot on the battlefield.

In addition, there is a new in-game event called "Hunt for Shamrocks" announced for players to collect Shamrocks then exchange to valuable in-game gifts. The event will end on 27 March 2013 (GMT+8). Details can be found on Einherjar website.
