Gaming News - July 2005
Dedham, MA (July 11, 2005) - Magic Hat Software announced today that
the second Beta test for its MMORPG Irth Online begins today and is expected to
run through August 12, 2005.
“We received over 400 suggestions from many thousands of Beta testers in the
past three weeks since the start of our first Beta,” says Alan Chipura, Lead
Game Designer. “Our tester community’s contributions were outstanding, and we’ve
already incorporated many of them into Irth Online, as well as added lots of new
content.”
From Magic Hat:
During the first two weeks of the first Beta, the Irth Online team added new
animations, male and female characters, and spells. Improvements were made to
ground textures and action activity including the ability to actually cut down
lumberjacking trees. Several new armors were incorporated such as Chains,
Plates, and Scales made from Black Rock, Lava Rock, Copper, Gold, and Irthonium.
During the final week of the first Beta, the Irth team added over 30 new
professions including Alchemist, Banker, Glassblower, Fur Trader, Healer,
Jeweler, and Enchanter, and added more monster spawns, more spells, and new
crafting skills. Also added were improved icons for such things as herbs, pike
weapons, war fork, and many others. Over 20 new Trainer Weaponry items include
Shields (Heater, Bronze, Great Flare Kite, Iron Round, and more) as well as Axes
and Broad Axes.
“We have made literally hundreds of content additions, enhancements, and
modifications, so the items we’ve mentioned so far are only a small indication
of our efforts,” says Chipura.

official Irth Online site, where visitors can keep up to date on the latest
