New features and System await in MU Origin’s newest update Land of Ordeals
-
WEBZEN has launched another content update for its real-time mobile MMORPG MU Origin.
The content of version 1.8, Land of Ordeal, adds a significant number of new features and events.
MU Origin 1.8 introduces the Land of Ordeal, a new Server Boss Field that will add five new challenging monsters for players to tackle in large-scale battles of up to 100 people. The event is open on Saturdays and Sundays, and they’re given 30 minutes to beat these five bosses and accompanying monsters. Triumphant warriors will win random items from monsters, while the hero who deals the most damage to the boss will acquire rare loot.
With the update, the new Kalutan area is now available in the game. Players who are 10 Rebirth or higher, and who can pay the 15,000 Zen entrance fee, will gain access to a new all-server area, Kalutan, encountering new monsters and providing new opportunities to engage with players from all servers.
The Domain System, meanwhile, is a new feature allowing players to develop and maintain their very own domain. Their domain consists of four buildings: Observatory, Tower of Magic, Gate of Ordeal, and Tower of Battle. Players can develop these buildings by hiring workers. Naturally, they increase your EXP by building, and they can pick up various other items and rewards for completing various building quests. Domain development continues even when players are not playing the game.
What the 1.8 update includes can be seen in the new update trailer on the official Webzen YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ-og2wSuPk
Webzen has also launched a New Warrior Event for newbies who need a leg up. For the first seven days new characters will get login rewards, recharge rewards, and sales, while the game will also identify goals for the first seven days.
Also, as it is summer, there is now a swimsuit costume, leaving you with absolutely no excuse for not downloading MU Origin for free right now. MU Origin is now available for free in the App Store and Google Play.
For more information on new features and events, interested players are invited to check out MU Origin's official website at: http://muorigin.webzen.com, and join the official Facebook community at: https://www.facebook.com/MUOriginWEBZEN/

WEBZEN teases the Closed Beta Test pre-registration for Archlord II and reveals information about the playable races and game lore
-
April 4, 2014, (Dublin, Ireland) - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of online games, teases the pre-registration for the Closed Beta Test of the upcoming dynamic PvP MMO Archlord 2 and shares information about the playable races and the game lore.
With the preparations for the summer 2014 game launch, the Archlord 2 team announces that pre-registration for the Closed Beta Test will start in April 2014. To honour the committed Archlord community, Archlord players will get guaranteed access to the Closed Beta phase.
To introduce players to the Archlord 2 universe, WEBZEN provides information about the playable races and the game lore.
In Archlord 2, players will be able to select between two different Factions with one race supporting each Faction at the beginning, and additional races being introduced at a later stage. Even though they are descended from the same ancestors, they have evolved differently through long-standing conflicts with each other. As a result, they are different when it comes to their gameplay mechanics and in-game skills.
Humans are pioneers with an inquisitive and dexterous nature that serves them well in the rough wilderness of Chantra. While they are physically weaker than the Orcs, their agility and their keen minds than make up for it. Cunning and resourceful, the Humans of Chantra are survival specialists. They often fight with Two-handed Swords, One-handed Swords and Shields and use Crossbows and Wands in ranged combat.
Mutilated and distorted by the power of Chaos, the Orcs embody the brutal and savage side of Chantra. They have retained the ways of their ancestors, honouring tradition and physical prowess above everything else. They possess physical strength that should never be underestimated and they attack their enemies with a wild fury. Their weapons of choice are great Axs, Lances and Shields, Bows and Wands.
Being the spiritual successor to Archlord, Archlord 2 is set in a parallel universe after the fall of the first Archlord and chronicles the never-ending conflict that tears apart the world of Chantra. The Archlord was an immortal champion of the gods, tasked with protecting their creation, but he was corrupted by his own power and immortality. Finally, he rose up against the gods themselves and became the “Lord of Chaos”. In order to restore balance, the gods created a new champion and a new guardian species to oppose the forces of evil. After many battles, the Lord of Chaos was finally defeated and cast into the Abyss. Even though the evil had been defeated and banished, the fight was not over. The gods slumbered in their palace, while the Lord of Chaos plotted and schemed in the depths of his infernal prison. Meanwhile, the Archlord and the new species the gods had created began to settle the world of Chantra and established their own unique civilization.
It is from these first settlers of Chantra that the playable races in Archlord 2 are descended.
Archlord II will be available for download and play in summer 2014, and pre-registration for the Closed Beta Test will be available on the official website, http://archlord2.com, in the very near future.
