Global Agenda Celebrates Second Anniversary

It's hard to imagine that it's been two years since Hi-Rez Studios launched Global Agenda.  The shooter MMO Introduces Switchblade Pet, PvP Tournament Reward, and Back Catalog of Flair Items for their second anniversary.

This week, Hi-Rez Studios celebrates the two-year anniversary of the award-winning, free-to-play game Global Agenda.  The  Shooter MMO launched on February 1, 2010 as an action combat and sci-fi alternative to more traditional fantasy MMO titles.  

“Elves still exist in the MMO world”, says Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios Chief Operating Officer.  “Just not within our world.”

In 2011 Global Agenda transitioned to a free-to-play model, was relaunched as the very first free-to-play game on Steam and delivered the Recursive Colony expansion which included new instanced PvP, new instanced PvE, and an entirely new Open Zone.

Since launch Global Agenda has seen:

• Over 1,000,000 registered players
• Over 12,000,000 PvE missions
• Over 1,400,000 PvP missions
• Anniversary Promotions Include:

Free Limited Edition Pet - Hi-Rez Studios is enticing players new and old to join in this week’s celebration of the two-year anniversary.  Any player winning an instanced PvP or PvE mission between January 30th and February 6th will receive a miniature version of the Switchblade Boss as a player Pet.

PvP Tournament Reward - Hi-Rez is sponsoring player managed PvP tournaments including a recent 6v6 competition.  As 2012 is the year of the dragon, all tournament participants receive a free dragon themed helmet in addition to an exclusive item and cash prize for the winning team.

More Flair  - Over 100 back-catalogue appearance and flair items from days past are returning for sale within the Dome City Burning Fashion vendor.
