The Player Versus Player (PvP) bloodbath Fury is now running live throughout Europe, North America and Australia. You get to play Fury for free, because developer Auran has made some recent improvements since its Beta testing.

The improvements include:
* Massive performance increases (many players are reporting double frame rates, especially in Low Spec renderer).
* New game maps, with more to come next week.
* New Bloodbath Training Ground with 4 bots and 3 other human players in a FFA (great for perfecting your skills before the challenge of taking on higher level opponents.
* Changes to the Ranking system (Rank is now determined by your skill in battle not trials completed or time played).
* Pre-made groups and pick-up groups are now separated in the Matchmaker queue.
* Lower ranked players (i.e. new players and beginners) receive an Offense and Defense bonus (making it more likely for them to hit their target).
* Major improvements to the Database which improve loading times and mail/vendor response times during peak periods.
* Lots and lots of minor bug fixes, crash fixes and optimizations (with more still to come).

Auran, the Brisbane based developer of Fury, has announced that they are holding a global Fury tournament with a million dollars of prizes up for grabs. That’s a million dollars Australian by the way which works out to around 844,000 US dollars. Although the way the exchange rate has been lately, by the time the tournament is complete it will probably be a lot closer to a million US.

The tourny is scheduled for the 15th, 22nd, and 29th of September. This is prior to the official release of the game, which is due in October. Auran is hoping to get over 600,000 participants, including both teams and individual players.

For those of you who are interested, you can get more information and details on how to download the free pre-launch client from unleashthefury.com.

One other bit of goodness from this announcement is the news that Auran will be providing an Australian based server. That should help keep the ping times down. Especially welcome for a fast paced action game like this. It’s a pity that Blizzard still hasn’t given Aussie players some locally based servers.

Update: The Gamecock Media Group has announced the official release date for Fury as the 9th of October. You can now preorder Fury from Gamestop.
