| Exclusive Look at the
Atriarch Intro Movie 09/03/01 - These four still-frame images are enough to show how well the intro movie does at immediately immersing players into the world of Atriana. |
| Though
only available in black and white during the first phase
of Beta, the Atriarch Intro Movie does manage to convey
the importance of Glurg Worship in the overall Atrianese
theme. For more exclusive in-game screenshots, be sure to check out Herok's post over at Atriarch Watcher. |

Inside the
Offices at World Fusion 08/22/01 - It's not everyday that gaming website operators get to take a look inside the offices of their favorite game developers, and today is no exception ;) |
| (What? You clicked
on the link expecting tour info or something?
Muhahaha.) But, I did receive a nice email from Serafina with details on the huge Atriarch sign that Mo created for possible use in a 'booth invasion' ;) at E3, and this great picture. Note the quote bubbles with comments that they've received in emails about Atriarch that Firemist has used to "Atriarch-i-fy" the World Fusion offices. |

Servers Back Online 07/04/01 - After weathering major technical difficulties and downtime during a planned computer upgrade, the computers which host Zang's Atriarch News are back online and now optimized for the upcoming multiplayer game Zangworld Online. |
"While we feel that the old servers were still perfectly functional", commented ZangWeb's IT Director, "this new upgrade will certainly help to ensure a glitch-free open pre-alpha for ZWO." |
