! e m o c l e WEaster Bunnies...! Hello everyone, Here we are again, with a followup from the last magazine. Happy easter to everybody, hope that the spring is starting to show its signs arround the world. This month we bring news about mostly the legions and the kingdoms as a followup to the guild theme we had in the last issue.
we will start with the Community Managers and then work our way through the team, the first one in the hotseat is Jacques our beloved master chief. This magazine is meant for both new comers and players who have been here for a while, but to help the new players get into the game we have started with some easier topics which everyone can benefit from rather than talking about something only hardcore players can relate to.
We will talk about both how to build a legion and take you though the steps of becoming a kingdom, to give you a We are please to share another magabetter insight in the goals that needs to zine with all of you! be forfilled for you to become the king Greetings from Muninn, and all the of your own kingdom. great co. editors of this issue!

Other than that we also have easter events ongoing, at this point and to match that up we added some new items to the shop which you already should have been made aware of! And npcs that grants you an extra little buff if your are lucky. We also really would like to thank you all for the positve feedback on the magazine, as we have had a few comments towards what you would like more of. We added two extra pages for tome locations and decided to add interviews to the magazine, so you guys can get to know us a little better,

Those pesky moles seemed to have found their way back to various areas around Tangramia and it’s up to you to keep them from coming back! From now through April 30th (08:59 server time), hunting down and defeating any moles you come up against could score you some serious loot – anywhere from experience cards to treasure map fragments and much more! Unlike last year’s event, all moles are at varying levels (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180) and you must be within 20 levels of the ones you attack in order to receive the loot. So the higher the level you are, the higher the level of moles you can attack and get loot from.

Store All The Things
Golden Deposit Cards are available from the Rarity section of the Travelling Shop from now through April 30th (08:59 server time). Using this card gives players a 30 day lease on a bank deposit box. If a VIP deposit box is already active, it will add another 30 days to it. In either case, with so many items to gather from Easter events and so many more ways to increase your loot drops, having more space to put everything would be a smart strategy, making a Golden Deposit Card an absolute necessity for those who need “all the things.”
Get them now for 15% off the normal price! Use one of the Divine Beads to gain a status in which the player will receive 1.75X monster killing XP for a certain period of time (2 hours – small, 24 hours – large) which could be cumulatively increased to a maximum of one week (168 hours). Considering all the monsters players will need to kill for loot, the XP boost from these Divine Beads can really add up.

Bug Reports, GM Tickets, Forum Moderation and Social Networks are just a small part of it. While all of them and creating a proper GM team are ongoing tasks, most of the things I do are unique problems. Meetings and discussions with related gamigo employees, the developer or even players take place on a weekly basis as well as new events, suggestions, feedback and much more. In general it can be said that a Community Manager fights for his Community in any way to achieve the best solution for them, the company and the game.

//Interview - Jacques
What are you most proud of in king of kings 3?
What I’m most proud of is not really game related. It took more than a year to get to that point but I’m most proud of my GM team. They take a lot of work off of my shoulders so I can focus on things to improve the gaming experience for everyone.
What is your favourite feature in king of kings 3?
My favourite feature is the PvP system and the various events we have. I’m really excited to see great new PvP additions in game which will definetely be implemented in the future.
“
what do you like MOST ABOUT THE COMMUNITY IN king of kings 3?
I totally like the diversity of cultures we combine in King of Kings 3 and how they interact. It’s great to see when a new player has questions and an “old guy” tries to help him, even when they don’t know each other.
My equipment isn’t that good and I die a lot, but team action is still the greatest fun of all.
what do you like to do in king of kings 3?
In my private time I prefer to do quests with my Fighter and have some PvP here and there. My equipment isn’t that good and I die a lot, but team action is still the greatest fun of all.
what do you hate MOST ABOUT THE COMMUNITY IN king what are your expectations of this year? of kings 3?
“Hate” isn’t the best word. It’s difficult to deal with feedback that’s not constructive at all. There are players creating great threads and tickets but still many who simply say everything sucks. We will listen to useful feedback only as that’s the only way to improve the game in a proper way.
Most of all the new addon coming out this year including many features the community requests for a long time now. Any final words?
I would like to thank Musier for his great artworks as the background on this page was made by him as well. Thanks a lot!
What classes do you like? and why do you like them?
I prefer playing my Fighter as I like the fist weapons.

t h g i l t o SpLegion Supplies Wouldn’t it be great if you had acces to more than just two kinds of legion materials? Indeed it would! Other than the legion mine you also have the chance of using the Legion Supplies Trader in Mercenary Camp! Where to go
The Legion Supplies Trader is located in Mercenary Camp(58,13). What does it do?
At the Legion Supplies Trader you can trade legion materials for another kind, at a 5:1 ratio. Improving the ratio
This ratio can be improved by completing a quest from the Legion Supplies Trader. After picking up the quest, talk to the Overseer (58,11) to open the private mine and once again to enter. After entering you will need to buy a mistral ore pick from the Tool Merchant to mine 50 Miste Lode. The mine is a PvP area where even players with inactive PvP licenses are at risk. So be careful!

y l t n e u req Questions FAsked got a question? send us a email: team@kingofkings3.de or use the ticket system within the game!
Q: why are My guards/summon not attACKING THE MOBS? Sometimes the guards and summons cause troubles, the hot fix for that is to close down the game, then reboot your whole pc and start up the game again. This will get rid of that problem!
Q: why am I out of mana? If you do not donate enough mana to the Mana Forge, the mana will slowly empty due to the fact that a lot of the kingdom building uses mana to function, when you run out the buildings will stop working and you won’t be able to get into the kingdom without donating mana to the National Official.
Q: why is my knight mount not leveling any longer? The Knight Horse level is restricted to the level that the skill “Ride” has, so the max level of a Knight Q: How do I move decoraHorse is level 119! tions in the kingdom?
