MU Legend Celebrates Valentine's Day with Beta Key Giveaway
-
WEBZEN has launched a special Valentine's giveaway on MU Legend's official Facebook page.
With the second global closed beta just a week away, the MU Legend team has put together an event to celebrate Valentine's Day, giving players the chance to not just play the second CBT, but to do so along with their significant other. Players can take part on the official Facebook page: http://facebook.com/MuLegendGlobal
MU Legend's second global CBT focuses on localization implementation, meaning this will be the first time the game will be available to play in German, French, Polish, Spanish, and Brazilian-Portuguese, as well as in English. A new teaser video has also been released on the official WEBZEN YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/gNglfr5Vl_A
The second global CBT takes place from February 21st to February 28th. Players can use this time to explore many of the unique features of MU Legend, including the three different levelling systems. MU Legend incorporates three separate levelling systems that enhance play in different ways.
EXP Level: Obtained by completing quests, dungeons, and defeating enemies, this levelling system automatically improves the character's stats.
Soul Level: The Soul Level acts similarly to EXP Level, except the Soul Level has its very own tree to improve stats and passive abilities.
Account Level: This is the sum of the Soul Levels of all the characters on the account. This offers permanent boosts for all characters.
Players that have not yet signed up are still welcome to pre-register at http://mulegend.webzen.com, in order to fully enjoy the second closed beta in their native language.
Richard Moon, Head of Global Business at WEBZEN, commented: "With the second global CBT so close, we want to make sure that German, French, Polish, Spanish and Portuguese-speaking players will get their chance to play MU Legend in their native language." He continued: "It's incredibly exciting to be providing localized versions for our fans to enjoy, as we get closer to full release."
After the week of testing, the developers will work hand-in-hand with the localization department to make sure the highest level of quality is achieved and will continue to work on the content revealed during G-Star 2016 for the open beta release.
Players are also invited to discuss the game and join the official Facebook community at: http://facebook.com/MuLegendGlobal.

Win Access to MU Legend's Multilingual Second Closed Beta with Key Giveaways
-
WEBZEN today launched giveaways for the second closed beta phase of its upcoming action MMORPG MU Legend. The second closed beta will take place for a week, from February 21st to February 28th. Players can either pre-register for a chance to access the beta or secure guaranteed access by obtaining a key in one of the many giveaways.
With this new CBT focusing on localisation implementation, players from Europe, North/South America and all over the world are expected to arrive on the continent of MU. While anyone can pre-register on the MU Legend website, only users who activate a beta key will have guaranteed access.
Richard Moon, Head of Global Business at WEBZEN, commented: "Since the first announcement of MU Legend's global version, the press coverage of the game has been incredible, with many previews, videos and news articles!" He continued: "With more than 200,000 pre-registered users, we are trying to have as many players on board as possible, but of course technical limitations prevent us from allowing access to everyone at once. This is why we've decided to work hand in hand with press partners from around the world to give their dedicated fans guaranteed access to MU Legend's CBT2."
WEBZEN has established many press partnerships, allowing players to secure access to MU Legend's second CBT from their favourite online game portal.
WEBZEN also confirmed a limited number of beta keys will be available on the official company & game social media pages as well as via a selection of world-class streamers.

Shot Online's New Update Brings Shot Online World Championship, Guild Agencies a
-
WEBZEN, an operator of online free-to-play games portal GamesCampus, has released an update for Shot Online on European and American servers.
Shot Online is an MMO golf game that brings the world of competitive sports straight to the player. Shot Online is a highly addictive golf simulation with role-playing elements, making it more than just an online sports game. The competitive mechanics and satisfying golf gameplay are what make Shot Online the addictive game it is, featuring community interaction, competitive tournaments and character progression alongside unique club attributes and enhancements.
With this new update, the Shot Online World Championship (SOWC) gives golfers the opportunity to show their skills to the worldwide Shot Online community. The SOWC allows them to play 1v1 matches against players from other Shot Online servers. The current Shot Online servers are: Korea, Japan, USA/Global, Spain, France and Germany.
The 1v1 matches do not require that both players be online at the same time. Players record a 1v1 round, known as their "Qualification Round" and then players from other servers will play live 1v1 SOWC matches against those Qualification Rounds. When they play their own SOWC matches, they will be playing against a recording of another player's Qualification Round.
To participate in the SOWC, you must be level 120 or higher and have the title of National Pro I or higher. The SOWC is run over an entire week, 3 times per month. After the 3 weeks of match play, rewards will be provided to players according to their monthly ranking.
In addition to this new system, the update includes Guild Missions; weekly quests consisting of 10 stages, which must be completed alternately by either 2, 3, or 4 guild members. For the successful completion of Guild Missions, players receive so-called "contribution points". Each guild member can earn up to 100 contribution points per week for their guild.
Players also can check out Guild Agencies, new "Sections" of a guild, which can be leveled separately through the spending of contribution points by guild members. There are 4 of these agencies: G.H.P. Team, Mode Reinforcement Team, Hard Course Reinforcement Team, and Product Development Team. Each agency contributes to the guild with specific bonuses for different areas.
Full features of the latest update and in-game events for Shot Online are now available on the official Shot Online website.

MU Origin Update Introduces Companion System and Holiday-Themed Events
-
WEBZEN today launched the latest content update for its real-time mobile MMORPG, MU Origin.
The newest update, titled "Companion and Wings", is the second part of the major patch released last November, which brought the long-awaited Magic Knight class. The update features new additions to the game, such as the Companion System, Roch and Griffin Souls, and increased wing tiers.
The brand-new Companion System allows a player to form a companionship with another. Players can then grow and gain strength together in a variety of new activities, receive Companion Buffs and take on the Companion Dungeon. Players can form a companionship with any of the classes currently available, which are Dark Knight, Dark Wizard, Elf, and Magic Knight.
The new Roch and Griffin Souls enable a player with tier 6 wings or above to unlock their wings' potential, enhancing them even further. With wings now being upgradable up to tier 12, players have even more reason to take advantage of the new system and increase their Combat Power. Along with the above additions comes Transmutation, a new feature that will allow players to enhance their tier 10 equipment to even greater heights. Transcending the tiers normally available, tier 11 equipment can now be crafted.
Players who log in and play from December 20th to December 31st will receive the following items as a gift: Epic Pet Ticket x3, Condor's Flame x10, Condor's Feather x20, Rainbow Feather x3, and Gold Spark x1.
Starting from now, players will also be able to experience holiday-themed events, such as daily giveaways and special events. Players can collect many holiday-themed items through various activities in-game and exchange them for rewards. MU Origin is available for free in the App Store and Google Play.
For more information on the game and the new features, 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/.
