Combat Arms Turns Two

Well, this is the first blog of what we all hope to many to the Combat Arms Historeum. Coincidentally, it happens to coincide with the very recent second anniversary of Combat Arms! A lot has happened during those two years, both good and bad, and we will be showcasing these for newbies to envy find out about the history of the game in detail as well as give the older players a trip down memory lane...

Since this is the most recent happening on the battlefield I guess I will be showcasing it first!

For the second anniversary of Combat Arm's birthday, players received permanent items that presumably will never be handed out ever again. They included a backpack, helmet and face mask emblazoned with blue lightning strikes and "2nd Anniversary" marked upon them. In order to reduce the imbalance that never-to-be-obtained-again items might have, statistical boosts were negligible.

This was a change from the first anniversary items, which included a hat, face mask and and backpack emblazoned with red flames, as they were only available for 72 hours. However, possibly due to outcry of popularity over these items on the Nexon forums, an event was held to extend the expiration date of the items to a further 72 days. Obtaining the first batch of anniversary items was a lot harder than obtaining the second, as the first event had you log in through consecutive days to receive the items instead of just logging in once.

Other events were held to commemorate the anniversaries, such as GM events, bonus EXP & GP, a photo contest to win a Nutshot t-shirt.
