Just a quick reminder to everyone. The Beta Weekend starts again tomorrow.
Incase you were unclear, here are the notes for this Beta Weekend.
For Beta Weekend #2 we will be taking players into the "Outpost," our single lane 3v3 map. In the Outpost you will struggle to destroy your opponents base by not only fighting against each other in the lava dredged valley, but you will face large Siege Tanks sent from the opposing base while attempting to protect your own. Will you be able to defend your base in this fast-paced dynamic fight to the death?
Once again, we please ask you to fill out our Feedback Survey. The results are very important to us, and help us shape the future of Prime World. So please, take a few minutes and let us know what you think.
Ahoy, Primeworldians!
Before we dive into some feedback responses, we wanted to ask you to please fill out our survey. It won't take you long, and its results are very important to us. So please, take a moment and give us your thoughts.
While you wait for more news about Prime World, we have some shiny new media for you!
Soon we will be entering the next Beta Weekend. Until then you can check out our new Dynamic Screenshots and other media.
What kind of sorcery is this?! Dynamic screenshots?! Did we just take gaming screenshots to the next level? Well, we certainly plan on adding more of them in the future, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Head on over to our Media Page and check them out!
Thank you everyone who joined us for the first Prime World Beta Weekend.
First things first we would like to answer some of the most common questions that keep popping up on our forums.

In our last Beta Weekend we took players to the "Borderlands," our 5v5 map, most well known to all players. For this week, we want to show you another mode that is quite different.
For Beta Weekend #2 we will be taking players into the "Outpost," our single lane 3v3 map. In the Outpost you will struggle to destroy your opponents base by not only fighting against each other in the lava dredged valley, but you will face large Siege Tanks sent from the opposing base while attempting to protect your own. Will you be able to defend your base in this fast-paced dynamic fight to the death?
Before we go into any details about what is to come next, we here at Nival wanted to take a moment to thank all of our players for being as patient as possible as we worked to resolve any of your issues that may have come from this Beta Weekend. As this week goes on we will continue to resolve the remaining issues so that for our next Beta Weekend we can create an even smoother experience.
But we still need your help!
We ask that our players please come to our forums and provide with us all of your feedback about the game. We take all of our community feedback very seriously and as time goes on you will see just how much impact you will have on the final release of Prime World.
As Beta Weekends continue to happen, we encourage everyone to keep giving us your feedback, report bugs, and interact with and help your fellow players to learn about all the features Prime World has to offer. We will be monitoring the community and in the coming weeks we will be looking for candidates to become a part of our forum moderation team. If you feel like you are up for the task and have already shown you are an exceptional member of the Prime World community, feel free to message Tsuda on the forums.
We are happy to report that a large majority of players were able to activate their accounts, download the client, and play Prime World without a hitch. And with that we would like to announce that the next Beta Weekend will be this coming weekend May 25-27th. Again here is some important information regarding the upcoming Beta Weekend that we would like our players to review.
Discuss the upcoming Beta Weekend on the forums.
Important Beta Weekend Information.
Tomorrow is a big day, and everyone here at Nival is excited to be able to share the Prime World experience with our new batch of Beta Testers. We look forward to jumping into battles with you, seeing the live streams, and interacting with our new community members. As the Beta event begins we ask for everyone to be patient with other players as everyone is just starting to learn the basics of the game. Additionally we ask for your cooperation in understanding that if any technical difficulties occur during the Beta event that we are working diligently to resolve them as fast as possible. After all, Beta event are meant for testing.
Users who are using non-english language letters in game will be removed from the Beta. While we are excited to have players from all over the world playing Prime World, this is an English Beta.
Please note: The game client will be available for download tomorrow May 18th.
As we lead up to our very first beta weekend we wanted to take a minute to tell you a little bit about what Prime World is.
Prime World is a story of two factions, their struggle, and the neverending battle to control a new mysterious substance called Prime.
The Dokht Imperium: lovers of science, masters of engineering, and the pursuit of ever expanding knowledge. And the Keepers of Adornia: nature's caretakers, keepers of mythology, and the freedom of creativity and emotion.
"As a former Producer of Guild Wars in Russia, I was greatly inspired by idea of cooperative gameplay with a huge level of customization. Only now, I wanted to help take it even further." - Larisa Nuretdinova (Creative Producer)
"Persistent character development is the core of any good RPG, and the feeling of progression is one of the most satisfying emotions any gamer can experience." - Marc Singer (Producer)
"It was important for us to make a Free-To-Play game from the start. Adding an artificial "bar-to-entry" through lack of financials or other means doesn’t make for a robust community. Everyone should get the chance to play." - Ivan Spijarsky (Head of Operating)
Finally, the moment you have all been waiting for, the first Prime World Beta Weekend!
What exactly does this entail? Well, I'm glad you asked.
Saturday May 18th we will be sending out large groups of beta keys to people who have registered for Prime World through the website. If you registered with an email address you will get a key in your email. If you registered through a Facebook account, you will receive the key as a private message (make sure you check your OTHER message folder just in case).
YOU CAN NOT USE THE KEY UNTIL THE 18TH. THE KEY MAY BE USED AT WWW.PLAYPW.COM
THE BETA WEEKEND WILL LAST BOTH SATURDAY THE 18TH AND SUNDAY THE 19TH.
Those of you who have already received keys for the event through our Live Stream or other means, you may receive a second key through your email or Facebook which you are free to give to whoever you like.
Additionally, several other gaming networks will be giving away beta keys in the coming week leading up to the event so keep an eye out for that.
For more discussion of the event, please head to our forums.
We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of Prime World: Defenders on Steam!
Fight off hordes of monstrous mutants created from a strange cataclysmic event in the new tower defense game, Prime World: Defenders. Join a group of exile treasure hunters who have ventured into the capital of an ancient empire, vast with mystery and danger.
Prime World: Defenders merges classic tower defense gameplay with collectible card mechanic. Your towers, your spells, your traps - all are magic cards, that you can collect and upgrade. You'll have to develop your own strategy, because you'll get your random set of cards after each battle.
Freeze, burn, poison, explode and slash countless enemies that will try to stop you from gathering artifacts of old kingdom. Choose your cards carefully, play them strategically and expect some heavy resistance along the way – from small and almost harmless mutated fungi to powerful giant goblins and nagas.
Did we mention? In addition to story-driven single-player campaign Prime World: Defenders has randomly generated missions!
More information about Prime World: Defenders can be found on the official website or on the game's Official Steam page.
Tired of static text on pages? Complex articles that leave you skimming through the page and missing bits of information? Fear not, for gameplay videos are afoot!
As you may have seen, we have started an official live stream of Prime World on Twitch.tv and plan to continue doing them each Wednesday. We have been giving away in game currency codes, useful bits of information, and more importantly answering all the urgent questions everyone has about the game. We may even begin giving away beta access keys in the stream soon, so keep an eye out. Having already said that lengthy articles are sometimes a bore, here are our last two streams on-demand.
Additionally we have some fantastic video walk-throughs from MMOBomb and MMOHuts/OnRPG.
April 17th, 3pm EST marks the first of many live streams of Prime World on Twitch.tv, come by, check it out, ask some questions!
Hello followers of Prime World! The moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived!
Along with announcing our newly opened beta registrations, we also would like to show you a bit of what to expect from Prime World.
Three major publications named Prime World best Russian game and best online game of 2012.
We've just launched clans in Russian OBT of Prime World. So, you don't have to fight alone or with couple of your friends anymore!
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve just launched a first companion game for Prime World outside Russia.
Well, as you might’ve probably noticed by now, world didn’t end. Not it was supposed to end for this matter, but all this fuzz about Mayan prophecies and 12/21/12 gave us an idea for a game mode.
While we always talk about how talents are important in Prime World we never really discussed talents themselves. So, let's fix it.
We're happy to announce that we've just launched a closed beta-test in Turkey. Prime World is fully localized into Turkish, including voice-overs and Turkish version shares the same realm with Russian one.
We've discussed battle modes of Prime World before and we'll talk about PvP and PvE later, but today we wanted to talk about your castle and importance of economy in Prime World.
Today we'd like to talk a bit more about Outpost - our second most popular game mode so far (after classic Borderlands, you've probably seen already).
As we wrote previously, Prime World changed a lot since beta launch in Russia, and before we start beta testing it in Europe and US we'd like to talk a little bit about what's new.
We thought it might be appropriate time to discuss what's going on with Prime World. After launching Russian open beta test we spent a lot of time polishing and perfecting game and meanwhile didn't really talk to our US and European fans.
Nival invites Turkish gamers to be first to test new online action strategy Prime World
We know, that you're waiting for beta test of Prime World and we know that we're taking our time, but we want to ensure our US and EU fans get the best experience possible when we launch Prime World on those territories.

In this bright and challenging puzzle matching game, you will need to help a young Artiste create the magical masterpieces that earned her fame. The game is bursting with content, with 25 levels in the entire adventure.
Creative Producer Larisa Nuretdinova spoke to Penny Arcade Report's Ben Kuchera about Nival's plans for attracting more female players to the online battle arena genre. By adding special perks and talents for newer players, Prime World aims to make welcoming newcomers and having gender balanced teams an in-game asset.
The new English language trailer for Prime World is up at G4TV! Watch the heroes of the Imperium and the Keepers do battle and read what just a few of the very smart people in the games media are saying about one of 2012's most exciting action strategy games!
Over at the Penny Arcade Report, veteran games journalist Ben Kuchera talks to Nival's creative producer Larisa Nuretdinova about how Prime World plans to attract more female gamers to the thrills of action strategy games and the color and magic of Prime World itself. Would these plans get your skeptical female friends to give Prime World a try?

Genre expert Ryan Scott talks to Nival's Pavel Epishin about how Prime World divides its heroes. Learn about Slayers, Protectors, Fighters and a few other different ways you can play the game. Find a hero and role to match your style.
Welcome to Prime World, a land divided by a magical substance with properties that can save a life or destroy a population, depending on how it is handled. In order to join the fight, you will need to choose a side to align with, but that is easier said than done!
The Prime World team is happy to announce the launch of our official website! Here you’ll find everything you need to know about Prime World, from details about the gameplay to interviews with the developers to a history of all of our heroes and what makes them tick.
Greetings Lords and Ladies!
Prime World has many interconnected components, but one of the thrills is the action on the battlefield. At the core of the conflict are the opposing viewpoints of the Imperium and the Keepers on their main resource, Prime. The Imperium are committed to their use of Prime for scientific advancement, and the Keepers are unwavering in their pledge to use Prime for the pursuit of beautiful, creative growth. As we are beginning to see, Prime affects every part of their daily lives, but in drastically different ways.
During the fight, the Imperium and the Keepers are locked in a continuous competition for which nation can win the most Prime. Whoever has control of the Prime wins the war! During the battle, the outcome depends on you, the Lords and Ladies, who control Heroes to support your armies, capture new territory, and attempt to destroy the enemy base.
This means you must choose your most talented, highly evolved Heroes to send into battle, because the fight for Prime is not one to lose. No matter how well your Heroes are performing, there is never time to get comfortable. In Prime World, there is a phenomenon known as Terraforming, which allows heroes fighting on their native terrain to have enhanced talents. This is terrific, until your heroes are fighting on opposing native terrain, when enemy talents are stronger. The enemy army is also led by equally accomplished heroes, so victory is not just a matter of brute strength; it is a combination of communication, courage, teamwork, and mental prowess.
In a fast paced battle that can change on a dime, do you think you have what it takes to lead your hero and your team to victory? Who would you want fighting on your side?
See you soon!
