Players that log into One Piece Thousand Storm during the one year anniversary period can partake in special in-game events and receive coveted pirate treasures. Until February 11th, a maximum of up to 200 rainbow coins will be awarded to players logging into the game during the one year anniversary period. In addition through February 10th Luffy, Ace, Sabo and Shanks will be available in all-new Pirate coats for players who clear the one year anniversary events

Here are the other events taking place for the one year anniversary celebration:

In celebration of the second anniversary of the popular role-playing game Tales of Link, Bandai Namco Entertainment has just released a brand new PVP system along with a series of in-game events. Starting in a few days on October 5th and running until October 8th, players can access the new PvP system called “Duel Fes”.

Here they an compete against others to level up their factions and earn points for prizes. There are three types of points — “Morale,” “Grade,” and “Rating” — that can be redeemed for various awards and prizes during the time of the PvP event. As of a way to say thanks Bandai Namco is giving players 100 Hero Stones during series of 2nd anniversary events, which is pretty cool all things considered.

Over the course of October anyone who logs in will also have a chance to obtain 50 free Hero Stones. At any given moment Tales of Link characters can randomly pop up in quests and drop “Carnival Balloons” that can be exchanged for items and rare tokens for Awakening. These definitely a lot of details and things happening in this event, so I suggest checking out the Facebook page for more information and updates as the events happen.

Bandai Namco Entertainment, who I regularly report on here at PocketFullOfApps, has announced their upcoming free-to-play RPG title Tales of The Rays. Set to bring the same gameplay that fans love from the console version to mobile platforms, the announcement said that the game will be available sometime Summer 2017.

In the game players travel across landscapes with heroes Ix and Mileena, exploring dungeons and battling enemies in a quest to revive their world. We’ve been given word that past Tales heroes will make appearances in the game as experienced adventurers who provide Ix and Mileena with guidance.

“We created Tales of The Rays with the intent to make it the best all-star character game ever.

Tales of The Rays features console-quality graphics and the all-new Linear Motion Battles system, with controls optimized for mobile devices. Players can also look forward to cut-scenes with the classic soundtrack and music plus special events with bonuses. Right now there’s no set in stone release date, however, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Running through April 21st, fans can participate for a chance to unlock the Princess Serenity (Original Color) character and collect other various items along the way.

Another thing worth nothing is a login bonus featuring Growth Stamps and Growth Crystals, which is a nice little addition to see. Also apart of the celebration is a discount on Gems (in-game currency), with 250 Gems for $14.99 and 100 Gems for $2.99.

The Moon Princess event features five new courses, and items are rewarded upon completion of each course. Upon completing three courses, players will be rewarded with Princess Serenity, who can be upgraded up to level 3. After all of the courses have been completed, players can upgrade the same character up to level 5.

During the special event players can test out all of the characters they’ve earned up until the event closes. Once players reach course 4, they’ll have trial access to use Princess Serenity’s special move, the Legendary Silver Crystal.
