MU Legend's Open Beta Now Live with New Trailer
-
WEBZEN today announced the worldwide opening of its acclaimed ARPG MU Legend.
It marks the culmination of a one-year-long journey, punctuated by two closed beta tests and one stress test, since preparations began for the release of one of WEBZEN's most anticipated games.
Dennis Czybulka, COO at Webzen Dublin, acknowledged the occasion with these words: "Launching a game is always a high-stakes moment to live through, where hundreds of emotions collide. Here, in the 'OBT backstage', I am witnessing - let me put it like this - 'an exotic diversity of exhilarated states of mind ': The chills of enthusiasm are making hairs stand on end, adding a frenetic edge to the usual finger-tapping rhythm - still not missing a beat - and hearts are hammering faster than usual. Now, the fun starts for the fans, and our attention is focused entirely on making their game experience the most unforgettable yet. We're excited for players to experience first-hand the passion that we've put into MU Legend and look forward to seeing them all in-game."
The open beta is a "last preparation step", and players will retain all game data (characters, purchases, items, etc.) even after the day of the official release.
Players no longer have to worry about any data wipes and can now take as much time as they need to explore the deep content offered by the game. Stating it clearly, there will be NO WIPE at all during or after the OBT period.
Although all game content has been made available today, further expansions are already in the pipeline.
Developers are planning to deploy updates and extensions on a regular basis, with a 3v3-combat feature to arrive in the first update before the end of the year. This feature will offer a dynamic PvP environment, involving strategy and team coordination. Other new content, including territory wars, is slated to arrive soon after.
Additionally, thousands of players are due to receive their first special titles, awarded for participating in the CBTs and the stress test. The MU Legend team has announced that these marks of recognition will be delivered to those early pioneers on November 14th, 2017.
The team also offered a final comment: "It would have been almost impossible to carry the MU Legend dream this far - more than a decade after the launch of MU Online - without the support of the fans. We'd like to express our warmest thanks to all our players who've continued to have faith in this dream, and we hope that they'll enjoy the game as much as we've enjoyed developing it."
Along with the open beta, a brand-new MU Legend trailer has been released today. Before heading to the official site to get started on their epic journeys, players can check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAB3URfbuu0

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.
