Hi YouRiders,
Sorry to start this news on a bad tone but we have decided to postpone the release of THE JOURNEY MODE to Monday November 09, 2009. Yes we know, we suck! And yes we know, you will forgive us this 1 week delay when you will know a bit more what you are going to find in this new game mode and all the work it has meant to us.
In this mode, we have split the world in 9 REGIONS of surfing: Europe, Africa, Indian Ocean, East Asia, Australia, Pacific Islands, North America, Central America & The Caribbean and South America. Each REGION is divided in several ZONES of surfing as, for example, Oahu North Shore in Hawaii, Gold Coast in Australia, Iquique in Chile or Santa Catarina in Brazil, Peniche in Portugal, ...
In each ZONE you will find the 4 best waves of the area, each one being created by ourselves or VIP players. They all are fun to play and as realistic as possible. On those 4 waves, 2 will be special waves: the first with a challenge on it, the second hidden and waiting for you to discover. By winning the challenge, the hidden wave of the ZONE will be revealed to you and you will also unlock a new ZONE of surfing.
You will all start the game in the REGION Europe, on the ZONE Donegal Bay, Ireland. All the other REGIONS and ZONES will be locked. You will have to play and win the challenge of this Donegal Bay, Ireland ZONE to advance in the game mode and be able to surf all the world. At the end of each REGION, a special challenge will await you: Beat the Boss of the REGION, one of the Pro Riders presented each week on our homepage, to unlock a new REGION of surfing. It's 330 great waves you will be able to play on and to compete aginst your friends!
Many more surprises will happen to you in this game mode, especially at the end of the mode... Then during the 2010 we will add regularly in several ZONES of surfing new waves with special challenges to win special boards, fins and gear for your quiver or YR$.
Stay tuned...
