The latest patch for the free MMORPG Fiesta is now live! It introduces a multitude of exciting new guild features, including guild storage , a guild ranking system , and the much-anticipated guild academy .

Players can now share their in-game currency and valuable items with other guildmates using a new guild storage feature, making transferring items between characters and friends even easier.

The guild academy has also opened its doors, giving new players an easy and exciting way to get involved in the Fiesta community. Every guild now has its very own guild academy, and players below level 40 can join up and start earning points for their guildmates simply by leveling up. Every Thursday each guild’s point total will be tallied, and the top seven guilds will receive a powerful buff for the entirety of the next week.

October 16th is National Boss Day - the best holiday of the year! To celebrate, Outspark is offering gamers a chance to show their bosses just how much they care. Players around the world are invited to come together in the free-to-play MMORPGs Fiesta and Secret of the Solstice and celebrate the one universal constant: Love for our bosses!

National Boss Day comes but once a year, and Outspark has gone all-out to allow the lowly workers of the world the opportunity to finally reward their boss' hard work and dedication with much-deserved greeting cards, gifts, and magic fireballs to the head.

Log into Fiesta and Secret of the Solstice today and join in the National Boss Day festivities by repaying the bosses for all their help in the last year. The Outspark Game Masters will be spawning progressively more difficult bosses - and handing out progressively better rewards as players slay their way up the corporate ladder.

The celebration continues through the weekend, so there's still plenty of time to express your love for your boss!

Gamers can register and play Fiesta and Secret of the Solstice for free at www.outspark.com.

Christopher Columbus has discovered the magical world of Isya! Now he's stuck in the world of Fiesta with no way to return home, having lost his three famous ships and most of his nautical equipment at sea.

Always willing to lend a helping hand, the people of Isya have rallied behind Columbus and are now working to rebuild the legendary explorer's fleet. New premium items for players ready to join Columbus' new fleet are now available in the Fiesta Store : The Sailor Uniform, Mara Hat, and Eye Patch. Sure, you may not know your clinometer from your sextant, but at least you'll look the part!

Once your costume is in order, check out the new Santa Maria mount and set sail for the new world! Every player that purchases a Santa Maria mount before October 31st and helps Columbus get back on his sea legs will be automatically entered in a raffle to win a real life brass telescope and ship wheel courtesy of Columbus himself.

The new school year is in full swing along and all the "fun" that comes with it - delicious cafeteria food, pop quizzes, and hours of homework. So now's the time to take a break from the books and relax. It's time for homecoming in Fiesta!

To celebrate, the GMs will be throwing a homecoming dance on October 10th and 11th, and have released some stylish new costumes to the Fiesta Store. The Sakura Costume and Royal Fiesta Costume aren't just perfect for making a great first impression or burning up the dance floor - they also boost your critical bonus rate and are ideal for slaying the monsters of Isya too.

Of course, it wouldn't be a homecoming dance without a homecoming king and queen. Players can now nominate potential homecoming royalty in the Fiesta forums, and every winner will receive a special in-game crown on the day of the dance. All nominations must be submitted by October 9th, so vote now!

Who says going back to school has to be boring? Whether you're just starting college, high school, or junior high (or returning for yet another year of teachers, textbooks, and tests), the free MMORPG Fiesta is offering players a chance to take a break from their homework and enjoy new items and fun in-game events.

Head back to school in style with three new items now available in the Fiesta Store . The School Uniform allows players to be the envy of all their friends, while bad boys (and girls!) will feel more comfortable in the Winter Boop Set . Players don't need to be sentenced to pout in the corner to enjoy the Dunce Cap, but they do need to try their luck in the Remi's Rare Finds minigame - it's the only way to get your hands on the new item.

Players can also experience new school-themed events in September and October, including the Get Schooled event , which offers players the chance to get schooled by Fiesta's GMs either on the playground (AKA the Elderine Free Battlezone) or in the classroom (the OX Quiz Field in Elderine). Brush up on your fighting skills (and your reading, writing, and arithmetic) now and prepare to get schooled!
