fusing together two Pupae creates a new pet that will take the strength of both parents.\u00a0 Eggs for these amazing creatures can be found in the field, or purchased on the cash shop, but the best Pupa will be rare boss drops.\u00a0 The number of Pupae has doubled between closed and open beta, meaning there will be more to collect!<\/p>\n<p>The most anticipated feature launching in open beta is the PVP War system.\u00a0 This colossal PVP mode can support up to 1 vs. 100 and will determine who will be the sole owner and wielder of Excalibur!\u00a0 Open beta also brings the launch of the gulid system known as Legions.\u00a0 Legions will be able to take the field against other guilds for the Order of Knights, which pits 50 vs. 50 in mounted combat.\u00a0 To arms, Knights, and prepare for battles both large and small!<\/p>\n<p>This is the best time to join the game with 17 different events in store.\u00a0 There will be prizes and events for everything; from simply registering in the game to battling for the legendary Excalibur!\u00a0 The Open Beta Test will even feature grand off-line prizes including a brand new laptop and iTunes gift cards!\u00a0 Register now through the Knight Age website at <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/GKAPortal_0828\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/GKAPortal_0828<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Players looking for all the juiciest tidbits, such as daily game information, character tips, and plenty of screen shots can check out Knight Age\u2019s Facebook at <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/GKAFB_0828\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/GKAFB_0828<\/a>, or Twitter at @OfficialKnightAge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filled with New Contents and 17 Different Events AUGUST 28, 2012&#8212;
