MU Legend: Final Weekend Approaches Before OBT Release
-
WEBZEN today reminds players of the impending launch of MU Legend's OBT on November 7th, 2017.
With the open beta set to begin early next week, the latest version of the MU Legend client is already available for download on the website. Players that took part in the stress test will have a patch available when the servers open on November 7th, 2017 (UTC).
Furthermore, once the OBT starts, there will be no data wipes. This means that players can enjoy the game from day 1, secure in the knowledge that their characters will not be lost when the game reaches official release. Players who have not yet signed up or downloaded the client are still welcome to do so at: http://mulegend.webzen.com/en/
In 2001, MU Online was released to the pure happiness of hordes of fans all around the world. This marked the birth of the MU franchise globally. In 2017, 16 years later, MU Legend pays tribute to those unforgettable days, embodying much of what made its eldest ARPG brother so unique: Atmosphere, lore, game mechanics and much more. While staying true to the essence of the MU franchise, MU Legend comes with its own flavor and richness for players to discover. It's the product of a new vision that emerged from the minds of the MU Legend developers, generated with experience acquired over more than a decade.
MU Legend will open the doors into a fantastic world, long before the events of MU Online. As previously introduced, players will have four classic MU-franchise classes to choose from and embark on their epic journeys.
On the official Facebook page and Discord channel, users who had the chance to join the two closed betas and the stress test are passionately (and kindly) urging the MU Legend team to release the game.
Responding to their fans' enthusiasm, the MU Legend team at WEBZEN Dublin commented: "Our players are the most supportive fans ever! Even when we were facing the pre-production hazards experienced by almost every game, our fans expressed their unbreakable encouragement in thousands of ways! We're truly blown away by the support we've been receiving on our social media pages. Seeing the hundreds of positive emojis really puts smiles on our faces every day."
To welcome all guilds, feedback, roleplay stories and more, the MU Legend team has today re-opened the long-awaited forums. A place for all to post opinions, guides and questions, the forums are ready to host fans from all over the world.
To provide the best game experience for players, MU Legend's team of experts has released a new volley of deeply detailed game guides. The guides provided include topics such as the Rift, the guild system and the Endless Tower, each of which covers invaluable knowledge for any MU Legend pro; the "Guides" section of MU Legend's website is not to be missed.

WEBZEN Wishes Players a Hooky Spooky Halloween
-
WEBZEN has today declared the opening of its Halloween event weeks.
From October 24th to November 7th, WEBZEN will entertain its fans in the spirit and colours of Halloween.
With the imminent arrival of one of the WEBZEN team's most appreciated annual celebrations, the global developer has already welcomed all players to share the good mood online.
Starting ahead of the celebrations on October 31st, WEBZEN has begun its "Hooky Spooky Festival" today, which will last for two weeks.
WEBZEN's official Facebook page will host a Halloween event calendar to display all of the social media events, while all the game websites are detailing every Halloween moment their players can expect during those two weeks of events.
As Halloween nears closer, a good-natured atmosphere has unveiled itself between the walls of the company, and the sentiment most held among WEBZEN's employees has been: "One day for Halloween is too short, let it buzz for a fortnight!"
Indeed, WEBZEN's portfolio is vast, currently 10 games strong for the global market alone, and many games are going with their own event - and sometimes events - to celebrate these crazy, hooky spooky times!
The company, cheering for its well-known game titles, announced: "From the epic and fantastic C9 and Rappelz, from the everlasting and moving Flyff and MU Online, passing by the classy and swinging Shot Online and the phenomenal and captivating MU Origin, the game teams have organized a bunch of Halloween events in-game together with our social media pages. For the occasion, pumpkins and cauldrons are decorating many games, giving a touch and a flavour of the jack-o'-lantern's fantasy world".
Along with the multiple events proposed under the WEBZEN games portfolio, promotional offers are running for the full Halloween period.
Hoping that everyone attending the events will have the very best time during the festivities, WEBZEN's employees have expressed their "Happy Halloween for all!" wishes for it to be one of the most memorable.

Shot Online Celebrates Over 10 Years of Game Updates, an Emerging Pro Golfer
-
WEBZEN, the operator of online free-to-play games portal GamesCampus, today releases an overview of its successful license Shot Online along with the announcement of its newest update.
Not many online games are in the position to proclaim survivability and success for more than 10 years on the MMO market. The MMO golf game Shot Online, however, not only celebrates over 10 years of survival, but 10 years of achievements and successes, including a user who went from playing the game to becoming a competitive, pro golfer in real life.
More than 10 years have passed since golfers sank their first putts on the virtual greens of Shot Online, and the game has fascinated golf enthusiasts ever since, whether they practice it in their everyday lives, only online or both.
The game engine was specially developed to simulate and enhance on real-life golf, allowing for satisfying skill shots (including curve shots). This created a "feel" that was unlike that of any other game, attracting a strong community of players that continues to enjoy and value this unique experience after many years.
The longevity of Shot Online is owed not only to the competitive and technical aspects of the game, but also to the community and social elements. Golf lovers are brought together through guilds in the game, which can be compared to well-known golf clubs in real life.
Shot Online operates on European, Asian and US servers, and receives monthly fixes and content updates to this day. The competition is in full swing between players of each server, who continue to train and improve each year in order to reach the top of the world rankings against golfers from all around the globe. Players from all countries can compete in worldwide tournaments, such as the World Ranking Tour or the recently released Shot Online World Championship.
Competitions like these are what make Shot Online special and are what helped inspire one pro golfer to step away from his mouse and keyboard and pick up a golf club for real. By playing Shot Online, Ali Khazanbeik developed his love for the sport as well as his talent. The half-German/half-Iranian golfer became one of the best players in his golf club in Germany, and he answered the call of the Iranian national team to support them during several tournaments. Right now, Ali studies in the USA at the University of Texas, with a focus on golf.
On October 24th for European servers and October 25th for the US server, Shot Online will introduce another content update, revamping the course-selection UI by adding three new game modes: EXP, Drop and NG Courses. A new course will be regularly selected as an EXP, NG (in-game currency) or Drop Course, in which players will receive enhanced EXP/NG gain or drop rates. This new update allows players to "funnel" into specific game modes and easily find companions to play with.
In addition to these features, new items called "Artefacts" are being introduced to the game. These can be obtained through daily play-time rewards and drop occasionally while playing golf, with increased drop chances when playing on the "Drop Courses". These artefacts can be used to craft EXP items or costumes which were previously only sold via the in-game shop.
Another update to Shot Online revolves around a rework of its subscription packages, including the introduction of two new soft-subscriptions, currently labelled "Deluxe" and "Luxury". These new memberships are cheaper and work independently from (or in combination with) the existing Platinum Subscriptions and therefore open up more options and choice for players. The two new statuses allow players to gain daily NG, catch up with some extra EXP and receive daily item rewards.
After the update launches, everyone above Level 110 will receive 30 days of Deluxe Membership for free to try out.
Shot Online is free to play and can be downloaded and played by anyone, at any time. Visit the website, sign up, and give it a shot!

For players in the US, please visit: http://shotonline.gamescampus.com
Meanwhile, WEBZEN is currently working on the release of a real-time, multiplayer mobile golf game Shot Online Golf: World Championship. After the previous closed beta, the Shot Online Golf team is paying close attention to user feedback and is sharing golf information and tips with the community.
