Hello
A new month means a new monthly mail. Last month we had the fourth birthday of Regno.se, the sixth of June. During this day we had a 50% bonus on all tokens sales!
This month we have of course an interview and some nice COTD�s you have missed. Read it all in this monthly mail!

Don�t forget, the birthday of the Gamemaster is coming up! July 22nd is his big day. Don�t forget to log on that day, who knows what special treats he is coming up with.

The council are doing some great work again. They are working on a solution to make the manaboost decks less overpowered.
Do you want to share your thoughts about this? Then rush to the forums and give us your opinion!

Old news for the most of us but we totally forgot in last monthly mail. The never given out Red Star Group was given to SC for getting his second red star in the ranking!
Do you also want a shot at a Red Star Group? The first person who reaches three red stars will gain a group!
Everyone has got a chance since SC has less time to play these days!

A small change this month. Dredknight has made the COTD list. This means a different point of view to the cards!

Hey folks this month we had a monster invasion here on regno!
Wondering how this happened? Then I guess you didn�t follow the COTD�s frequently so here is a quick briefing with the best from the best of this month.

1. Bug, 1-3-0-0 (Regular sides 1-3-0-0), growth 18%, reattack 14%.

- First we got this awesome bug with huge grow and reattack capabilities,18% and 14% respectably. Just imagine what is the potential of this card in long games if you take care of it during the final phases. A shield plus some monster boosting cards will make it work for your behalf.

2. Knight, 5-3-7-7 (Regular sides 5-1-3-3), shielded, +1 attack against humanoids.

- Then we were surprised by this bully warrior on a horse - the brute knight! Usually he comes with 5/1/3/3 but at this particular day he could be hired as 5/3/7/7. Just imagine what a heroism can do with such force and the best of all is that he is protected against magic! You can rely on him as the backbone of your force on the field in any situations.

3. Spirit, 7-2-3-3 (Regular sides 6-2-3-3), 11 Heroism

- Just when we thought the month is over we got 2 amazing cards!

The heroistic spirit that returned from the grave to aid you in battle. Apart from 1 mana bonus it gives, this time it has 11 heroisms that can come in handy anytime. It is easy to be brave when you are dead

4. Centaur, 6-0-2-4 (Regular sides 5-0-1-2), Shielded, 15 Heroism, 16% Growth.

- For the end I left the best of all. The Centaur chieftain!

This 15-heroism, 16-percent-growth monster can be a pain in the back to any player around. It is shielded and the best of all it can grow even after you have used heroism. If you manage to keep it yours till the late part of the game some re-attacking magic (reanimate etc.) will always come in handy as a support!

This is all for this month and don�t worry I will throw an eye or two on the cards for the next month too in case you miss a good one

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno. This month we will have a portrait of Valathorn, member since February 2008


How did you find out about regno?
I found a link on another games page. Clicked, joined and stayed :)

What is/are your goal(s) in regno?
To have better and better cards :) To be able to merge them :)

What is your favorite boosterpack (except the special boosterpacks)?
I think monster pack from theme ones and platinum out of regular ones...

If you were the GameMaster, what would you do?
hmm...maybe Id allow non-premium to trade/purchase cards. To avoid exploits Id mark started-deck-cards as non-tradeable

Any last thing you want to say to our readers?
Keep playing :) Try to recruit new members to make Regno community larger and larger... Id like to see at least 15-20 people online every time :)

Red Star Competition part 2!The competition for the two red stars is over, but the race for three red stars has started. Everyone has chance to win this. I know it is a long way to get 1500 RP! But nothing is impossible! Remember why we are racing for it. Yes the AWESOME Red Star Group!

Hello
You have not visited Regno.se for *days* days and I
figured I should send you an e-mail in case you have forgotten the address or lost track somehow.

Don't forget about the Fourth birthday of Regno! Regno's birthday is the 6th of june! All day we will have more freerolls, you get 50% more tokens for the same money and a lot of other nice stuff, so be there!

It has been a year since the council started to help out with Regnos development. And I must say that the last few months have been great. New ideas have been launched, events have been organized and a lot of other things. There are more to come, that is one thing I'm certain of!

These are Ardashar's thoughts about this month best Cards of the Day:

1. Gigantic Ant, 4-0-0-0 (Regular sides 1-0-0-0), 3 Heroism.

- May 10th showed us that ants are not to be messed with. This card was boosted from 1 in front to a massive 4, and with 3 heroisms you get 8-0-0-0 out of this... Imagine using an ant as a battering ram! Such a joyful thought.

2. Farmer, 2-0-5-5 (Regular sides 2-0-1-1), +1 versus ground units.

- May 15th spawned the angriest farmer I have ever seen in Regno's history! It has been boosted up to have two sides of 5, and ferociously attacks with a bonus towards any ground unit that comes near it. Also, I have sympathy for farmers needing to brawl now and then. Drinks on me!

3. Horseman, 7-4-4-4 (Regular sides 3-1-3-3)

-On May 20th, the riding school finished for some of Regno's finest Horsemen. The card of the day engine boosted this card up to a CS of 19! Considering it has 2 Heroism charges originally, it's a beauty. Regardless of the fact that it lacks shield and reattack. 5 of these are out there, congratulations to those who caught them!

4. Engineer, 5-2-0-0 (Regular sides 1-1-0-0), Shield, 8% Reattack and +1 versus flying cards.

- May 23rd brought 7 engineers into the game through boosters, and these are fun cards to have. 7 CS, but considering the 5 side and some reattack, better than a catapult or a soldier without heroism.

5. Catapult, 9-0-1-0 (Regular sides 5-0-0-0), plus 4 Heroism.

- May 24th, and a new strategy in siege battle was formed. This catapult now has a 9 side, that can be boosted up to 18 in battle! Beware, all houses and buildings around, your walls are about to be broken down with ease!

6. Siege Tower, 6-5-1-1 (Regular sides 4-0-1-1), 11% growth and 14% reattack.

- May 28th gave the buildings a change to fight back. This card also has a natural +1 versus buildings, giving it a good reason to be in a deck that's themed with buildings, for example. Play around with this one, cause it's a fun card to have! Looks like 2 people have grabbed a hold of this card, I must say I dread to face it.

That's it for this month, and I'll keep an eye out for the good ones. So you know what you've been missing by not logging in every day, that is. ;)

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno. This month we will have a portrait of Masa, member since January 2006


How did you find out about Regno?
- I was referred here, along with a few other people, by Shadowhunter from Cardmaster Conflict (another game we both play), around the beginning of 2006.

What is your favourite card? And why?
- In terms of flavour, Burning Wings, just for being the most potentially bizarre (but fitting) of all type-hoser cards.
- In terms of mechanic, Summer Wolf, as I like the idea of cards that are only available during certain months (and of the three of these I own, this is the best).

In your opinion, what kind of event should we hold for the members?
- Maybe some kind of Create-A-Card Competition? Where all the members get to submit a few card designs, and the best ones get used in the game. Maybe even have the prize be free copies of the winning cards?
- Maybe also have, say once a month, a day when free members get treated as if they were premium members - so they can play for cards, earn RP, and so on, to get a better feel of what the game has to offer and get more people to become premium?

What do you do when you are not hanging around your computer?
- I'll either be at work providing IT support, or doing Tae Kwon Do. That, or more likely, eating, sleeping or gaming on a console (Im a big fan of RPGs).

Hello *name*
Regno.se held a special event in April, and the turnout was great! In fact, some of the players decided that this was so much fun, that they want to prolong that feeling.

Therefore a new event has been created: Ard & Kaz Happy Hour !
The first Happy Hour will start thursday May 7 at 20:00 servertime, running to 21:00. Expect quiz questions (about Regno, Warriors2 & any other subject we can think of), little frenzies, lot of games to be played, free strategy tips to new players.
In short, you can expect anything, we will do our best to entertain everybody who risks his sanity by logging in !

We will repeat Ard & Kaz Happy Hour ! on friday the 8th & saturday the 9th of May !

Any other Happy Hour after this will be announced on the startpage of Regno. So after checking the card of the day, you now have even more reason to log in frequently !

The Council is currently discussing the treasure shop and the cards that can be bought there, hopefully soon a few new cards can be selected from the shop.

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno.

This month we will have a portrait of the famous Thiryll, member since the glorious days of Beta Testing began back in 2005.

When did you start to play Regno, and how did you find out about it.
- I started playing Regno in the end of march 2005, during the BETA-period and I found out about it through the "Other Games" page on Warriors2.

Massive respect to you for staying dedicated for so long then. Now, tell me, what do you think about the change in the RP system?
- Most people who have been around for a while probably know that I was never much for playing games before the change. I've always been more interested in collecting, merging and trading, but since I tried the new game mode (cumulative mode) and the new RP system created an increase in activity, I have started to play more games than I used to. I think it's a positive change and it will make the dedicated players keep on playing, which I hope will cause a positive trend in activity. More players = more games = more RP. It's as simple as that.

What is your favorite type of game, regular or cumulative? Why?
- I really like the new cumulative mode, but I'm still very fond of an old fashioned high ds game, so I can shine with the fancy cards I have managed to assemble during the years. And I'm always up for some "multi madness".

Some of the players have mentioned that your original nickname should be put back in use. What do you feel about that?
- For those of you who do not know, I used to go by the nickname Earelis and later Earelis[REG](REG being the abbreviation of my clan), but I changed it to Thiryll for 2 reasons. First of all, Thiryll is the nick that I use almost everywhere on the web. Earelis is sort of a female alter ego, in lack of better words, and also the name of a female character I created in an MMORPG, so it felt more natural to change back to my "male" nickname. And second... well try writing Earelis[REG] after a few alcoholic beverages... it's quite tricky. I do not think I will change it back, as it would only cause more confusion.

These are Ardashar's thoughts about this month best Cards of the Day:

April 8th came the scariest spider in all of Regno!
A regular Gigantic Spider has 2-2-2-2, but this nasty card had its sides upped to 2-4-3-2 AND had 2 Heroisms, 10% reattack, +1 vs good cards and a shield against magic!
Very impressive, considering the card is a very common one in boosters, meaning the card was easy to get on that day as well! If you missed it, make sure you check back every day for a new COD that can beat this one. If possible?

So as you see, great cards come out of the COD-generator at times, and those are jewels in any deck. No other cards could match this one during all of April, but we're hoping May has something sexier than the spider in store for us. Hairy legs and all that... Not my taste!

That's it for this month, and I'll keep an eye out for the good ones. So you know what you've been missing by not logging in every day, that is. ;)

SC (Kyle Beckman, also known as Soul Collector) has started a May Tournament.
Check in on the General forum threads to see if you qualify for participating!

On top of that: - After SC's tournament, another tournament is being planned and will begin registration as soon as the ongoing tournament reaches the last stages.

Red Star Competition
The competition for the two red stars is still ongoing, but the race is nearing an end! Make sure you stop by daily to be updated on the progress. Do remember: It is not too late to compete and be the winner of the ULTRA-RARE Red Star Group!

If you think it is too far away for you to win, you can still play the persons hunting the red stars!
You are guaranteed a challenging game, help out a friend & have fun all at the same time !!

Hello *name*
Regno.se is trying to get some new members again and we ask everyone to help us.
The 17th, 18th and 19th of April we hold the event at 21:00 until 23:00 server time.
In these 2 hours some of us will try to gain referals (on other games, forums, chats, etc). The players that get recruited will have a higher chance to stay around than normally. This is because a lot of us will be online and we are ready to help the new players.

What will you gain of this?
First of all Regno gets some new players. This means more games and fun for all.
Don't forget that if you recruit new players that you get your referal bonus on them. And because there are a lot of players online (which increases the chance they stay), you will gain more tokens for those persons since they are more online.

Of course Regno wants to thank you for your help, if you recruit players or not.
Thats why there will be extra freerolls at those times!
The Gamemaster has even promised a 300 cards high paced frenzy if we can take our record of 56 online.

But that is not all!
All players that really gave some help on this will gain a nice reward. And if you really showed us your best you might even gain a special medal!
During this three days, tokens will also be 50% off to help people becoming premium, and for you other people to get a nice reward for helping us out these days.

There will be some council members online to give support during those nights, so if there are any questions then just ask them.


We hope to see a lot of you online during the events, and we really thank you for helping us to keep Regno alive, and make it grow!

Red Star Competition
As you have read already, the Red Star competition ended in less than one month. Therefore we have started a new competition.
The first one to reach TWO red stars will get a Red Star Group card, never seen in the game before! He/she will also receive a Medal for the achievement.

Tokens JACKPOT
As nobody won the tokens jackpot during the event it was running, the 400 tokens will be given to the one that helped out the most during the referal event. The winner will be decided amongst those who where there to help out, we will have some sort of vote and the GM will have the last say if the players can't decide on their own.

Hello
This is the December issue of the newsletter for Regno.se
The council have had a big meeting over MSN this month and discussed changes for the game, Read more about it in this months' issue! we also have a "Hints and Tips"-column this month!

Please read these things trough, and if you want, make a reply to this mail and tell us what you think about the changes.

The biggest change will be that RP(Regno Points) will finally be degrading, meaning that you will have to fight for your stars!
The stars will now be showing clearer who are the top-players of the game, not just a display of how much everyone has played in the past.

We will totally reset RP, the star-system has been tweaked to new amounts, because with this new degrading function, the old system was set too high.
The first one to get a red star will get the legendary Red Star card that was released to the ten first that got a red star the last time!

In the near future we will do some more changes:
We will have a system where manaboosts don't get as important as they have been before. This will be done by penalty in RP after a match, and we will also put in an add-on to your deckstrength when alot of manaboosters are used.
We will also stop releasing new cards every other week. The council thinks that this is bad for the game, as too much features are added to the game. We will concentrate on making new boosters and new merges of the cards we have today instead. New releases of cards might happen anyway, if we find some really good reason for this. We will try this system during the start of 2009.

Freaky Monster
If you crossbreed a cyclops with a bug, what will you get? A big slimy one eyed monster with terrible coordination! Why wizards breed this race, nobody will ever know.

Gods Arrow
When the devil is called down to aid you in your battle, he will make the earth tremble and crack open from the top to bottom of the field straight trough ALL cards at one selected column. All cards at that row with get 0 on the top and bottom side of the card, no shield or supershield can stop this brute force of the gods.

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno.

This month we will have a portrait of The Shrimp King (also known as: Ragnzor, jultub, julbug, Hirfendunkel, Hubschrtuld and Turkelbepper), member since September 2005

How did you find out about Regno?
I cant remember actually, probably through some MMO site or and ad.

What kind of matches do you prefer?(multi, cumulative, clan etc)
The regular ds 10 standard settings no bans. Probably as generic as it gets, but I like it. Besides that I still kinda like no magic ds 3 without heroism.

When can we see you online?
The real question is, when can you not see me online? And that is during nights and mornings.

Any last thing you want to say to our readers?
If you're inactive, get back into action, the game is awesome. If you're active, be even more active, the game is awesome. Sadly I can't be that active due to not so awesome other stuff that keeps me busy :/

The Spell Puzzle
One of the worst ways a Regno deck can mess up is when the spells you draw can�t be used on the cards on the board. Like, you have a Terror on hand but there�s no humanoid in sight. Or maybe there is one but it�s among your own cards so you won�t gain anything on using it. Not quite as bad, since then you can waste it and hope to draw something better, but it�s still not very good.

Thus, it is important for the success of your deck that you do what you can to prevent that from happening. But how do you do that, exactly?

1. Choosing spells that work on your own cards goes a long way.
In a duel, you have total control over half the cards placed on the board, since those will be from your deck. In Regno, cards gets taken over back and forth quite a lot, so there is nothing saying that cards that were originally yours will be any less good as targets than those of your opponents.

Still, if your spells don�t work on your opponents cards, you will still end up not having targets for your spells from time to time. A potentially devastating tactic exploiting this fact is theming, by for example only having evil cards in a deck, making any spells for neutral or good targets useless on half of the board.

There is one thing you can do to make your deck less vulnerable to theming:

2. Diversify your spells while still having them work on your own cards.

If your deck has a bunch of good aligned monsters, use a little of both Evil Lance (destroy good card) and Devil�s Call (destroy monster card) rather than more of just one of them. That way you have spells to handle both non-good monsters and good non-monsters, increasing the chance of some of them working on your opponents cards.

3. Guess.

Point 1 and 2 are good guidelines that tends to always help, but you don�t have to stop there. Guessing what cards your opponents will play can give you even more of an edge if you get it right. You might choose to use slightly more Devil�s Calls than Evil Lances if you know that a lot of people have monster cards in their decks, for instance.

If you play a themed deck you may even want to risk a stray destroy card that doesn�t work on your own cards, just to purge the board from cards that would relieve your opponent from the no targets problem.

Red star Competition
First to receive a red star after the reset will get the notorious Red Star card!

Tokens JACKPOT
The JACKPOT is now 250 tokens, none has hit the magic number yet!! The jackpot is more or less random, a number is selected to start with, the number stays until one player has that exact RP for the selected month! This means that if you check old scoreboards, you will see numbers that none has had before and maybe try to land on one of those, who knows, you might be the lucky one!

I will give you all a small hint: the RP value is over 70.

Hello

This is the november issue of the newsletter for Regno.se
This was the month when the first real Supershield-Killer card got out. Read more about it in the latest card section. There has also been made a great change in the boosterpack section, read more about that in the news.

As the total amount of cards has reached well over 400 now, it has become really hard to get what you want in boosterpacks. Therefore the council has figured out a way to solve this. We have added 4 special decks that you can buy, with human, monster, buildings or magic cards. Inventions are not added as of today, because there are to few cards in that category and it would only be silly with such a booster.

The council did not find anyone who wanted to be in the letter for this month, if you are interested, please send GM a guestbook message!

This lonely freak of a warrior has no friends, and no one to turn to. The cannibal is hated by everyone, but well used it could demolish the courage of your enemies. He eats(on reattack) all meat he can get hold of, animals, humans, monsters or anything alike, draining everything around him.
Painted by Mattias Snygg.


Gods Arrow
With the force of the gods called down to aid you, you can, with this card punch a hole straight trough ALL cards at one selected row. All cards at that row with get 0 on the left and right side of the card, no shield or supershield can stop this brute force of the gods.

These are Ardashars thoughts about this month best Cards of the Day:

HELL-O! Welcome to my world and blahblahblah =)
This month we had an immense number of unattainable cards, since almost half the CoD's was a Superrare card! But I'll present the finest for you anyways, since I know you LOVE to read my spam every month! :D

1. Farm 2-2-2-2 (sides unchanged), with 3 heroisms and 12% reattack. That should give farmers a way to defend themselves on the playing field from now on!

2. Bat 4-5-7-5 (regular sides 2-0-2-0)
No specials on this one, but a horribly beefed basic card. Easy to get and full frontal assault on every side!

3. Spirit 8-6-3-4 (regular sides 6-2-3-3), with 11 heroisms! WOW! superrare card with 21 CS, AND an insane amount of heroisms. I hope I don't meet someone playing with this card.

This month we ran a "Beginners only" tournament.

It was won by "Big Will". The price was a dwarf hero and 60 tokens. Congratulations!

The 3 other semi-finalists also got a dwarf hero each!
They were: Scottj63, remaths, qwerty


The JACKPOT is now 200 tokens, none has hit the magic number yet!!

Dreamhack has passed, and we have started up a new column with game tactics in this letter, read more about it further down!

Dreamhack2008-Skellefte�
The lan has passed and it was a really fun experience. GM met a lot of new people and some new ideas where born. A 40% bought on tokens where active during the lan to give new people a great bonus for their payments.

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno.
This month we will have a portrait of Master Windu, member since 2007.

How did you find out about Regno?
I played Warriors2 long before I played Regno and I checked the "other games" site several times and one day I thought "Hey, why not try Regno and see if it's fun?" And that's my story.

What was it that got you hooked?
The main reasons I got hooked was 3 things. The first was that I like strategy games so Regno was a game for me because you need to think a lot when you play. Second reason was because of the chat, I met a lot of nice people that helped me and made the game more enjoyable. The last thing is that no game you play is like the other, the games always varies even if you play the same rules, you can dominate one game and get completly crushed in the next one.

Do you play any other games, both on- and offline?
I play many computer games but there are some big ones that I play more then others. Mostly I play Battlefield 1942 or Flyff. Sometimes I play AdventureQuest too but that's not so often as the other ones, and of course I play Warriors2.

Eating Breaker
Well well, you have all seen a breaker do its work on a city gate, but this magical nasty sucker eats through anything! It will wear down its enemy on each re-attack until the enemy is no more.
The picture of the eating breaker is drawn by Mats Molid.





Meat Rock
The meat rock is considered a building, as its hollow inside, it could be filled with all kinds of different enemies, but mostly its used by trolls. It has +1 against humanoids just because of its size and scariness.
Painted by Mattias Snygg.

These are Ardashars thoughts about this month best Cards of the Day:

Many variable cards this month, but a few stood out as superior this time also, first up is this buffed up Horseman:

1. Horseman, 3-3-4-3 (regular sides 3-1-3-3), with 7% reattack and +1 vs ground units.
Seeing as this card already has 2 heroisms from start, this is suddenly a massive rare card.

2. Pegasus, 2-5-1-4 (regular sides 2-3-1-1), with a massive 23% reattack! The highest boost I have seen to this day, and it makes this pegasus a formidable card in no-magic battles and multis. =)

3. Not much else, some semi-cool ones like Ancient Stones with bonus vs monsters and brewers with reattack... Fun cards, but not really useful in matches. Gets your mind going just thinking about how those stones attack though.

That's it for this month, and I'll keep an eye out for the good ones. So you know what you've been missing by not logging in every day, that is. ;)

/Ard.

The referal competition has ended and there was one clear winner and his name is Tom Voll aca Wiivja!
With 153 referals he swept everyone else away and I really want to thank Tom and you all for your hard work!


The JACKPOT is now 150 tokens, none has hit the magic number yet!! The jackpot is more or less random, a number is selected to start with, the number stays until one player has that exact RP for the selected month! This means that if you check old scoreboards, you will see numbers that none has had before and maybe try to land on one of those, who knows, you might be the lucky one!

As the rain starts to fall on our roofs, we hope to see some real regno action the upcoming month!

Dreamhack2008-Skellefte�
The GameMaster is going to attend a mighty LAN and ANY player who comes forward and presents himself to GM at Dreamhack, will get 450 Tokens, that is the entrance fee for Dreamhack. If you agree to support regno during that event, I will be even more happy to give you the tokens!! We will run some sort of tournament during this LAN if some people show up.
More information about the LAN can be found on www.dreamhack.se/dhskII08

Welcome!

The council is looking for someone to write a column about tactics in regno. both single and multiple matches.

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno.
This month we will have a portrait of thijzziej, member since late 2006.

How did you find out about Regno?
I found out about Regno by the link at Warriors2. I thought it looked interesting so I wanted to give it a try. I found out about Warriors2 because some friends played it.

What was it that got you hooked?
At first I played the game because I liked the strategy in the game, and other people from my school played it too. But after a while I lost interest because I could do so little without becoming Premium. Around a year later I was bored and decided to start playing Regno again. At that time Munchkin made me premium (A very big thanks for that!). Now I could get all cards and, without paying, I got a nice amount of good cards. I really enjoyed Regno and that`s why I`m still here. I even paid a little after all to support the game :)

Do you play any other games, both on- and offline?
I played a lot of games online, but at the moment I only play two online games, regno and 9dragons. I also play Magic the Gathering.

Orc Catapult
The orc catapult is not much different from a regular catapult, but it has better side protection and the same front damage.
The picture of the orc catapult is drawn by Mats Molid.





Monster Dog
Deep in the northern forests a monster dog roams the land, so large that none seem to be able to tame the beast. This beasts sleeps during the winter, and wakes up in April, hungry for more...
The monster dog is painted by Niklas Apelqvist, from an original of Mattias Snygg. We have asked if this was okay!
The dog has 3 mergesteps, all with different pictures.
Niklas did also paint the stone monster released last month.

These are Ardashars thoughts about this month best Cards of the Day:

1: Bat 5-4-2-0 (regular sides 2-0-2-0), with +1 against inventions, 9% reattack and shield.
It took two thirds of the month to finally get a good card this month, but it was very good indeed! 14 of these were sold in boosters, and I congratulate all of the buyers with a great card.

2: Here we had a few cards sharing the spot, ravens with heroism, bears with thick fur (shield), but none worthy of display below the bat above.


That's it for this month, and I'll keep an eye out for the good ones. So you know what you've been missing by not logging in every day, that is. ;)

Well well, we did not run any competition during august, but we will have one this month! The one that has the MOST referals at the end of the September, will get a regno-usb memory stick and 500 tokens. We will actually count the referals after we have deleted non-working accounts in Oktober. So don't bother to create fake accounts to win, we have a few ways to check them.

Also, for all those new signups, we will organize a TOURNAMENT. The winner will get 60 tokens to buy a possible 2 platinum boosters. Also, all the semi-finalists will get a Dwarf Hero.
This might help you convince new referals to join !

The JACKPOT is now 125 tokens, none has hit the magic number yet!! The jackpot is more or less random, a number is selected to start with, the number stays until one player has that exact RP for the selected month! This means that if you check old scoreboards, you will see numbers that none has had before and maybe try to land on one of those, who knows, you might be the lucky one!

Hello *name*
This is the august issue of the newsletter for Regno.se
The summer is soon over and I must say that this has been the most active summer ever in regno!

First Cumulative tournament ended
The first cumulative tournament has ended and is widely discussed amongst the players. The winners were:
PRIZES:
#1 Dream 200 tokens
#2 dredknight 130 tokens
#3 Endoform 90 tokens
#4 jultub 50 tokens
#5 Valathorn 30 tokens


Move the office
The office is now secure on a new location, but we still don't have internet on that location and that makes it hard to build new stuff right now, the good thing is that we get time to really check out the features from last month!

The council has used their time to explore some strange bugs that occured with the "eat and grow" that we launched last month. Some say that those cards are immune to traps, and it's off course not something that was intended. This bug was fixed at the end of the month.

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno.
This month we will have a portrait of Dream, member since 2005

How did you find out about Regno?
I played warriors2, another game of Zak�s, and he wrote a bit about Regno in the news. Having already developed a kind of hate-love towards our GM as a gamedesigner, of course I had to try it out.

What was it that got you hooked?
A combination of wanting to truly understand the game, it being fun, it having potential and having already invested money in it to properly try it. In short: Regno was good enough.

Do you play any other games, both on- and offline?
Yea. Currently I focus mostly on Magic the Gathering, minesweeper, Teeworlds and some table roleplaying other than Regno. I play Neopets in periods, though that�s not now.

Congratulations again on the victory in the Cumulative League. What are your thoughs about this month's tournament?
Yay! Thank you. Finally a win.

It was...

uhm

I have some issues with how it was organized.

Last question, will there ever be a picture of the mysterious Dream, or is he a feared Mr. X to the community for life?
You can never truly know with me.

Wings of Icarus
Wings of Icarus, who could ever believe they really existed. This card allows you to permanently change any Humanoid ground unit into a flying unit. This card will disappear after you have used it.

Stone monster
These beasts of old times are not easy to tame, but what a sweet force they are when it's done! It comes from underneath and brings terror to the battlefield, stones flying and terror spreads around this being. This unit re-attacks weaker buildings only, to take them down to strengthen himself.

These are Ardashars thoughts about this month best Cards of the Day:

July started off with a blast, the first day came this beauty:

1: Ent 5-5-2-8 (regular sides 4-4-2-2), shielded and with 11% reattack! Rare card, but if ya got lucky, you would have a massive monster to command!

Little over a week later came the next fun card:

2: Lion 6-3-3-5 (regular sides 3-3-3-2), 7 heroisms! Really cool card, because this card has +1 to humans originally also, making it very effective! Regular card, easy to get =)

Last card this month came near the end, here's the bulletproof thug:

3: Thief 4-2-1-0 (regular sides 3-1-1-0), with supershield and 11% reattack! Also a Regular card, and a strategic humancard to put in any supershield deck.

That's it for this month, and I'll keep an eye out for the good ones. So you know what you've been missing by not logging in every day, that is. ;)

Well well, we did not run any competition this month, as there as alot of special things anyway with gms birthday and all, but the JACKPOT is still here! Its now up to 100 tokens. The jackpot is more or less random, a number is selected to start with, the number stays until one player has that exact RP for the selected month! This means that if you check old scoreboards, you will see numbers that none has had before and maybe try to land on one of those, who knows, you might be the lucky one!

Hello *name*
This is the July issue of the newsletter for Regno.se
Last month went by with both happiness and sadness. The happy thing was regnos third birthday, the 6/6 (june 6). During this day we had a 50% bonus on all tokens sales! That means, if you buy 1000 tokens you actually got 1500! Did you miss this opportunity? Or want another shot? Then you dont have to wait until next year, because the Gamemasters birthday is coming up! That is also one of those days with 50% bonus! The GM has his birthday on the 22nd of July, so if you are going to buy tokens, that would be a great day.

New feature: Eat and Grow
The Gigantic Frog is the first card with a new type of functionality.

This card uses "eat and grow" on cards that are in its reach when the re-attack comes into play. This means, cards around it (that are humans or monsters) will loose points on all sides, until they die. Every time the frog successfully takes a bite from a card around it, it grows a bit stronger.

The "Eat and grow" function works in a way that the card can only eat cards that are smaller than itself, it can never eat a card that is much stronger. But as it grows, it will soon be big enough to eat that big card too!

Older mails from regno
We have made the mails available in the "main" section of the menu within the game now, so you can read old issues if you like. This might feel unnecessary now, but it can be handy in the future when you want to read back the developments, or check old personal profiles and so on.

Japanese hacker bot
We sent out a letter with the sad fact that we had been hacked some days ago, I have worked days and nights to locate what the bot could have done, and found some things. It was a japanese bot that used an SQL injection to get access to the database.
Without being too technical, this could have been a real disaster! As a precaution I asked everyone to change their password here at Regno. I am 99% sure that it was not necessary, but as I can't be absolutely sure, I did send out my request for extra care!
I really hope that I still have your trust, I do my best to keep all information on this website secure!

Move the office again
The first of July we will start to move the office for the company that runs Regno and Warriors2. This means that I will be away from logging in and so on for some days due to lack of internet at the new office. We moved office to the Gamemaster's house less than a year ago to minimize the costs of the company. Now the GM is moving, and the company does so with him. The server is placed on another location though, so hopefully the games will be up all this time!

The council has been around for more than a month now and it has proven a good thing for the game! New ideas are tested before they are launched, and things are developing more quickly.

The new "cumulative" game-mode for example, is one thing that the council has tested and approved. The council has also fixed a lot of minor things like the Mother Nature issue, and invented the new competition with the superjackpot!

Under this headline we will interview one member and ask some questions about what they think about Regno.
The second member is Dyingtokill, member since february 2006.

Lets start easy Dave,
How did you find out about Regno?

I was interested in online games and was looking around for a challenging game that interested me. One day playing another online game I saw an advertisement for Regno saying 'free starter deck' and I was hooked.

Describe what made you hooked on Regno?

When I first started to play I played the bots a couple times and liked the game a lot so I became premium. What actually hooked me was trying to find a way to beat Azrael, his deck builds were incredibly hard to beat and I lost many times to him.
In time I became better and better and started to win against other players, unfortunately Azrael soon became inactive and I was unable to soundly beat him.

What other games do you play?

I play Starcraft and various games on Kongregate when I�m bored. I don�t have time for more games, as I am working full time as a banquet chef and am looking to start my apprenticeship in september.

What do you hope to see in the future for regno?

I hope to see in the future for regno is a series of merges using cards that do not feature in any merge right now.
Another thing i would like to see in the future is the possibility to make super-themed decks which give a sort of compensation for leaving out strong cards of other alignment/class.

Thank you Dyingtokill, and I hope to see more of you within the game/Gamemaster

Frog
As mentioned before, this card has a new type of functionality, The "eat and grow" functionality. It also has a funny and wicked mergeline that involves 'eating' bigger and bigger pieces of food.
Time will tell how people will rate this new function.
Anyhow, it's a funny card, and really useful to take out Super Shielded cards for an example. The frog degrades cards around it with kinetic energy, not magic, so a shield does not help!

Windmill
The windmill is a basic "farmer" card, not much special about it! The fun comes when you start to merge this windmill into other types of mills. There are 6 different types of magic mills out there, and they have all some special powers. In general the magic mills have the power to give nearby cards a shield. So placed right on the board, this could be a devastating card to face.

These are Ardashars thoughts about this month best Cards of the Day:

GRRR baby, GRRR! This month came quite a few nice cards, first up:

Tiger 5-4-3-2 (regular sides 2-2-2-2), with heroism and 13% reattack! Great card in any battle, and best thing about it is; It's a Common card, meaning it's easy to get!

Second up is the hilarious Engineer that came early this month:

Engineer 4-4-2-0 (regular sides 1-1-0-0), with shield, 8% growth and 12% reattack. I laughed good when I saw such a card blown out of proportions with this function, but still. Great card to have, and easy to get also, as Engineers are Regular cards.

Last one this month is less of a laugh, but still very fun to have:

Archer 6-5-5-3 (regular sides 3-1-1-1), with 12(!!!) heroisms and 5% reattack! Again, a Regular card! Yay availability!

That's it for this month, and I'll keep an eye out for the good ones. So you know what you've been missing by not logging in every day, that is. ;)

JACKPOT We also decided to make a jackpot for this months monthly scores. A secret number is selected, the first person who gets the exact number we are looking for will win 75 tokens (it was 50 during june, but unfortunately none won)
The competition starts from the same spot with the same secret number this month! Good luck.
