In spite of rumors of its impending demise, Dungeon Runners - a free-to-play MMORPG featured here at DoSu - continues to be supported by the remaining developers of NCSoft Austin. A major update was released today that adds guilds (called “posses”), player blogs (pages that track character progress similar to the service that SOE offers for their games), as well as several engine updates, including a refinement of their shader system and the addition of specular lighting. Full patch notes are available at the game’s official website.

Back again with another cheap game to share. I hope you guys have been enjoying the comic posts that have been happening these last two weeks. I have had fun putting them together. I think they are filling out the content holes on the site nicely. We’re always trying to think of new features to bring to the site, but it’s sometimes difficult to discern what might be interesting to read, watch or play.

With that said, I think this week’s cheap game fits the bill nicely. Not only is it free, but it’s the first MMORPG that we’ve covered here. Both published and developed by NCSoft, Dungeon Runners has been available for free or paid play as a download for just about over a year now, but starting last week retail boxes have been hitting shelves.
