NCsoft Europe has announced Chunk 2 as available for download, for the company's free MMORPG. As its name implies, Chunk 2 is of course the second content update for Ncsoft's Dungeon Runners, which includes in-game advertising in non-member worlds, more bank space for members, item trading, increased access to prime loot, and overall PvE and PvP balance refinements.

"Chunk 2 unlocks an enormous amount of playable content for non-members that they didn't have access to before thanks to the addition of in-game advertising," said Stephen Nichols, NCsoft's producer and lead programmer for Dungeon Runners. "Our non-member players are very happy they can now use what was previously members-only loot, and our members are really excited about receiving additional bank slots to hold their items. These changes, plus our new secure trade system, make this update a win-win for everyone!"

According to the publisher, in-game advertising will be visible to non-members in loading screens and in a banner that sits on top of the game window during play. However, members subscribing to the game (for only $4.99 per month - equivalent to approximately ?2.50) will not see any of the advertising. Not that they'd care much. But should they...? Well, according to this report, they should?

You see, advertising in Dungeon Runners opens up new content and functionality for all players. Even non-member players will have access to new stuff, such as dungeons and valuable items. More than that, they will have access to one page of bank slots, for storing more items. A secure trade system has also been added, allowing all players to trade items with other players. Not Gold though. Increased rare item drops are also available now, with stackable potions for all members added too.

Dungeon Runners is a free to download and play online multiplayer role playing game in a satirical, fast-paced sword-and-shield setting, where defeating monsters and evil enemies results in you getting loot. Need we say more to convince you that this is a must have title for your collection? Here's where you can download the game right now. The member's version of course requires a $4.99 monthly fee. Yes, that's the version you want, in case you were wondering.

Note: PvE - Player Versus Environment PvP - Player Versus Player
