Age of Wulin’s New Expansion “Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness” is LIVE
-
Seoul, Korea – March 10th, 2015 – WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, announces the martial arts MMORPG Age of Wulin released its third expansion today.
“Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness”, now available in English, brings exciting new features for players en masse! With the introduction of 6 new playable factions, players’ loyalty to their Sect will be put to the test; they could even choose to become a Vagrant, a warrior with no affiliation to any group of Jianghu. Brand new dynamic events offer rewards and glory, weather effects and a day/night cycle change the feel of the game world; starting today, the Jianghu is rejuvenated!
As the Secret Factions were revealed to the Age of Wulin community, with the Rootless Clan, Shifting Flower Palace and Peach Blossom Island, the remaining 3 factions, known as Jianghu Factions, were yet to be presented.
The first faction, Golden Needle Shen Family, is finding again its former glory after the death of their leader, killed by bandits. Revered by their peers and using a Golden Needle as a weapon, their effective healing and defense skills are valuable assets in combat.
Xu Family Village is a faction with strong beliefs in chivalry, and a profound sense of justice. Vanquishing evil and protecting the innocent, they are famous for their survival competencies, making them always useful for groups. Using a ruler as a weapon, they make devastating use of debuffs to cripple their targets.
Finally, the Beast Villa. Led by five brothers from the Shi family, they promote a life of harmony with the wildlife, which inspired their fighting style. Each of them harness the power of a different animal in their attacks, with their skills channelling the form, power and resilience of tigers and dragons.
“Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness” increases also the immersion in the world of Age of Wulin with the weather system and multiple dynamic events. The Jianghu now has a full night and day cycle, with many new weather effects, allowing new events to pit players against enemies and the elements at the same time. Protecting cities, saving injured civilians and escorting characters will be some of the missions to accomplish in order to receive rewards and glory.
To celebrate the expansion, the Age of Wulin team is offering FREE VIP Time for existing players and a small surprise for new players.
Drama videos focusing on each of the new Factions are ready to watch on the official Age of Wulin YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/AoWFactionsPlaylist.

Age of Wulin Releases New Expansion on 10th March 2015
-
Seoul, Korea – 16th February, 2015 – WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the martial arts MMORPG, Age of Wulin will release its third expansion on 10th March 2015.
Introducing new playable factions, a weather system, dynamic events and many other features, “Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness” will put the adventurers' allegiance to the test as they gain the opportunity to betray their peers for a new Faction, Sect or to become a Vagrant.
From 10th March, players will be able to abandon their Sects to either join one of the 6 playable Factions, one of the 7 remaining Great Sects, or go on their own path, free from rules and teachings to become a true vagabond. Adventurers will be allowed to choose their preferred way of leaving their current Sects in different ways, each with its own advantages and inconveniences: Betrayal, the quickest method to leave a Sect, but inflicting an important punishment to the character; Training Down the Mountain, where the player has to ask permission and survive subsequent attack to join one of the 6 new Factions; or Leaving in Disguise, inflicting the least punishment for leaving the Sect but with a difficult task for the player to fulfil in order to earn freedom.
Furthermore, the Age of Wulin team has already revealed the 3 of the 6 Secret Factions: the Rootless Clan, the Shifting Flower Palace and the Peach Blossom Island. Each of these Factions has its own story, characters and requirements to join its ranks. Should the player fulfil them, a range of unique skills and abilities specific to the Faction will become available.
The first Faction, the Rootless Clan, is a cabal of Eunuchs which has been amassing their wealth as tax collectors of the Empire. Reviled and feared, they use the Sword as weapon and their main skills take focus in leeching the life of their enemies.
The Shifting Flower Palace is a female-only Faction, well-versed in fine arts and surrounded by beauty. Although attracted by alluring settings, these warrior maidens are no less dangerous, as they seek revenge against the men who wronged them. Using a Ring as weapon, their skills are based on dodging attacks and crowd control.
The last Secret Faction revealed is Peach Blossom Island, a retreat for martial arts experts looking for isolation from the worldly matters, until their skills are needed again. Entering this idyllic land unannounced comes at a price, as strangers are killed without ceremony by a resident master. Using Flute and Sword as weapons, these fighters utilise music for their offensive and defensive skills.
Each remaining week in February, a drama video focusing on each of the new Factions will be released on the official Age of Wulin YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/AoWFactionsPlaylist
More information on Factions and new features of “Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness” will be shared in detail on the official Age of Wulin website: http://wulin.webzen.com/

ARCHLORD 2 Releases Its Next Major Update
-
Seoul, Korea, 3rd February 2015 - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the PvP-focused MMORPG Archlord 2 has just released its latest content update following the Eternal Strife expansion in December 2014.
New territories, a new dungeon, increased level cap of 51 and many more features are introduced in this new update.
Starting today, players can delve deeper into the lore of Chantra with the addition of two new areas: the Land of Corruption and the Sunny Garden. Once a rich and fertile, the Land of Corruption was the scene of a bloody battle between ruthless nobles fighting for its possession. Alas, their conflict attracted attention of the Dark Priest Galia, who created his own army of undead from the fallen warriors in order to eliminate the living and further advance his sinister plot. It will be down to the Azuni to liberate the Land of Corruption from the undead invaders and put an end to the suffering of its inhabitants. In the Sunny Garden, the Crunn will have to look after their own territory and rescue it from the clutches of darkness. This derelict sanctuary, once cherished by the Gods and a home to many precious relics, had been infected by Galia’s power which even turned the Dragon Guardian into a formidable enemy slaying anyone daring to enter its realm.
Both factions will have to take down this powerful enemy in the new dungeon, the Underground Garden of Light. Vanquishing the dragon won’t be an easy feat, but will ensure the end of the corruption spreading throughout Chantra and reward players with incredible loot for their characters.
The PvP aspect of the game hasn't been left behind either, as the new update introduces a new Skirmish for players on level 46 and above: the Red Tear Land. On this new battlefield, the goal for each team is to be the first to destroy the enemy’s Sentria in order to rise victorious and claim the rewards.
With the level cap being increased to 51, a whole new tier of equipment has been made available to players both in PvE and PvP.
The Archlord 2 team is also organizing a special event to celebrate the launch of the new update. Read more on the official website: http://archlord2.webzen.com/
Players with a WEBZEN account can update their game client or download the game from the official website: http://archlord2.webzen.com/Download. A video trailer presenting the content update has been also published on the WEBZEN YouTube channel: http://youtu.be/lqqhP4VEwWQ.
