Love teaching? Love getting bribed? How about you combine your two favorite activities and participate in Dragon Nest's Blackboard Jungle event! In this new event from Nexon, players will compete to become the greatest mentor of all by taking on the most students by February 17, 2012. The top 10 mentors with the most alumni by this time will receive a whopping 50,000 scales, while the next top 89 mentors will receive a still impressive 25,000 scales.

In order for a pupil to qualify as an alumni, the mentorship must be established before the player is level 15, and the mentorship cannot be broken until the pupil reaches level 40. All players who 'acquire' at least two alunmi will win a pile of Item Protection Jellies for their efforts. The maximum reward from this, however, is a 50 jellies for three alumni.

As the winter and snow falls in Dragon Nest, the latest update prepares to launch. Launching in December, Scarlet Snow will bring new features to the game including:

• Raised Level Cap to 40
• New Dungeons
• New Achievements
• 2 Rideable Mounts
• Holiday Event

New PvP modes and PvP updates are coming to Dragon Nest in their latest update, Theater of War: Act Two. For players no longer content with slugging it out in spammy 8v8 contests, Dragon Nest is introducing a new 3v3 ladder mode for you to show off your organized PvP prowess. Also introduced in this patch are two new modes: Free-For-All mode and Protect mode. Free-For-All mode is pretty self-explanatory, with Protect mode being something of a Dragon Nest spin on the "Protect the VIP" concepts from other games.

You can read the about the new PvP modes being introduced on the Dragon Nest Website!

Starting today, Dragon Nest players will get to experience a new end-game nest encounter, a ghoulish new PvP mode and a variety of Halloween-themed in-game events as part of the game’s October content update. Here are the details:

• Cerberus, a monstrous three-headed canine and guardian of Hell, has been released from the Abyss. Fight him in the new Cerberus Nest dungeon for some epic loot.
• The new “Ghoul Mode” is now available in the Arena channel. It can be played on the PvP map “Silent Square.”
• There are new Halloween events! Players can earn Halloween coupons by hunting Pumpkin Ducks in dungeons, and then redeem them for a variety of wearable pumpkin helmets. In the Dragon Vault, players who want to get into the spirit of the Halloween season will have a wide variety of new costumes to choose from.

Beginning this month, Karma Koin cards will begin replacing Nexon Game Cards on store shelves. For every Karma Koin card redeemed, Nexon will donate a percentage of that amount to charity. Aside from that change, Karma Koin cards work exactly the same as the old Nexon Game Cards.

Karma Koin cards can be redeemed for NX and are available in $10, $25, and $50 amounts. If you plan to buy NX to use in Nexon games like Vindictus, Dragon Nest and MapelStory, you may want to head to your local store and pick up a Karma Koin card so part of your purchase wil go to a good cause!

To be clear, Nexon will continue to accept Nexon Game Cards. However, retailers will begin phasing them out during this transition period. It's all about Karma Koin card from here on out!

The latest Dragon Nest patch is now live and it adds a ton of content to the game. Here are the highlights:

• Edge of Darkness: Once you're at least level 15, select this channel to access the Rozin Sanctuary area and the Jealous Atrium dungeon. The Atrium requires you to defeat 24 rounds of successively more difficult enemies and protect a statue of the Goddess Althea.
• Daredevil Faire: Complete dungeons to earn Daredevil Prize Tickets and exchange them for prizes.
• PvP Ladder: This new system will auto-match players with similar levels and abilities to create more balanced 1v1 PvP matches.
• New Dragon Vault Items: You can now purchase some new items, including Item Protection Jelly, a Marketplace Pass and new costumes.
