It may sound clichéd, but wow, time really flies! It’s hard to believe that it has already been a full year since our massive 256-person PlayStation 3-exclusive shooter, MAG, was released all over the globe. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we’re unveiling a handful of promotions as a thank you to our fans throughout the week.
First up, starting Wednesday, January 26 at 12am Pacific Time, we’re changing all in-game queue* and “Happy Hour” bonuses to 256% until Sunday, January 30 at 11:59pm. If you’ve been meaning to level up to grab our various “level 60” trophies, our promotional time period is a great time to go for it!
Speaking of January 26, all day from 10am-5pm Pacific Time, members of the Zipper Interactive QA team (our best players!) will be online and playing MAG throughout the day. If you’ve never participated in our “Play MAG with Zipper” events, they’re great fun and offer you the perfect opportunity to show us your skills.
Our third and final promotion is a special “Faction Neutral” switch for the Domination and Acquisition modes. For the first time ever in MAG “Live,” our two biggest game types will switch from being PMC-specific to being open for defense by any of our three factions. Like our 256% XP bonus, this mode switch will be in operation from January 26 at 12am Pacific to January 30 at 11:59pm.
But this isn’t all we’re doing to wish MAG a happy birthday. We’ll also be posting some additional blogs throughout the week, including a breakdown of MAG statistics and numbers on Thursday and a special “Five Things You Never Knew About MAG” article on Friday morning. It should be fun.
As always, everyone here at Zipper Interactive wants you to know how much we appreciate all the support and feedback you have given us over the last year and we hope you’ve enjoyed playing the game as much as we’ve enjoyed making and improving it. Thank you very much!
*Note: The Multiqueue and Veteran bonuses will not be affected by the promotion

MAG by the Numbers
It’s MAG’s birthday this week, and to help celebrate the game’s one-year anniversary we thought we’d share some of the more interesting numbers that you, the fans, have accumulated over the past 12 months. We hope you like zeros…
On the development side, we’ve released 14 patches over the course of the past 12 months, but we’re not done yet! MAG will see its 15th patch, v2.11, released next month, bringing new optimizations and refinements to the table.
We’re humbled by the sheer amount of time that some of you all have put into the game, and we hope that you’re having just as much fun now as you did 12 months ago. Thanks for playing!
