RaiderZ launch date officially unveiled

It's official! In a short amount of time you'll be back in the monster-ridden world of Rendel, slaying those epic beasts like it's nobody's business.

Senior Producer Mark Hill talks RaiderZ, the closed beta and why you should give the game a try

Massively multiplayer online games are practically everywhere nowadays. With the pollution being so thick, the average gamer is typically apprehensive about jumping into anything in the genre. Why? Blame it on start up costs, monthly fees and that dreaded word - grinding. While it isn't here to be the end all of the MMO, Perfect World and MAIET Entertainment's RaiderZ is attempting something much different. In a rather comprehensive interview, Senior Producer on RaiderZ, Mark Hill, sits down with us and talks about the closed beta, what they're hoping to change and perhaps why there's no good reason to not give RaiderZ a try.

Razing with RaiderZ: Episode 5

Razing with RaiderZ is back for the final episode in the series! Don't get emotional now because we've made this episode extra long with a comprehensive look at Hero's Lane and the Contaminated Garden - the game's first big instance. Masters of the Garden indeed.

Razing with RaiderZ: Episode 4

It's time for another episode of Razing with RaiderZ and this episode focuses on the lush environment of Rengot Village. Beautiful as it may look, the area is filled with the game's first real tough monsters. If you can make it to the end though, you're rewarded with a monstrous boss fight, something you've got to see to believe!

Razing with RaiderZ: Episode 3

Combat is a core element of what makes action MMOs great, but it's nothing without a reason to go and swing that Two-Handed Sword of the Lightning Elders at the angry peasants. In this episode we focus on crafting, classes, skills and we even take you on a tour of Ingen, RaiderZ' first major city.

Razing with RaiderZ: Episode 2

Having vanquished the starting area with minimal effort, episode two of Razing with Raiders focuses on the core combat mechanics and very large monsters. Have you ever fought a three-tailed wolf twice the size of you, alone? How about a giant, armor-plated venomous spider? Real life can be so boring.

RaiderZ interview

We saw a little of RaiderZ back at PAX East and were taken aback by the quality behind the game and even more so by its business model: free-to-play. It's clear Perfect World and MAIET Entertainment want to shake up the typical free-to-play garbage that permeates the bulk of the internet. With something so involving and accessibly different, RaiderZ looks to be something gamers simply have no reason to pass on.
