A surprise for the eighth birthday of evergreen browser game Travian
To mark the anniversary of its eponymous game, Travian Games will be awarding valuable prizes to lucky players
Munich, September 4, in the year of our Lord 2012
– Travian, one of the longest running and most successful
browser games worldwide, is celebrating its eighth birthday
today. Reason enough for Travian Games to honor its eponymous
product by rewarding its players.
It is time to celebrate the anniversary with over 120 million
registered Travian players and to unpack an exciting present.
Rumors have been rife, but it is now time to unveil the latest
addition to Travian – the battle-hardened heroine! From now on,
players can choose whether to play the game in the role of a
male or a female hero!
Until now, players could only choose bearded Teuton leaders,
grizzled Gallic chieftans, or power-hungry Roman senators when
joining the huge world of the browser-based classic. At last,
Travian Games is introducing a little gender equality. Just as
with male heroes, players get to design their heroines – they
can choose hair color, hair style and expression, as well as
many other options. As well as their own clothing options,
female avatars also get their own weapon options, preparing them
for the rough world of Travian. And because equal rights applies
to everybody, Travian Games is also giving its male heroes some
new weapons.
Travian Games will also be celebrating the eighth birthday of
its classic game by organizing prize competitions for its
players. Over the next eight weeks, the browser games specialist
from Bavaria will be awarding eight iPads, 80 fan packages and a
total of 80,000 gold in its Travian-related forums, facebook and
in the game itself. Winners will need not just luck but will
also find their creativity put to the test. You can find further
information on the Travian facebook page (one of the biggest fan
pages on facebook, with over 1.4 million likes), in
country-specific Travian forums and in-game messages.
Over eight years, 120 million players worldwide have experienced
and enjoyed the Travian phenomenon in 42 different languages. An
incredible community has grown up around Travian. Since 2004,
Travian players have been working together in alliances to
defend their villages from wild hordes of computer-controlled
Natars and rival players. In short, Travian main principle –
cooperating to achieve long-term goals – continues to fascinate
millions of players and has lost none of its appeal eight years
on.
