-
Seoul, Korea – 2nd February, 2015 - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, has announced the release of Battle Core, MU ONLINE’s latest content update.
After the scheduled maintenance on February 3rd (UTC), newly updated features of Battle Core will be available for all players.
This new content update focuses on Battle Core, a new server for the battle field of the heroes of the MU continent. Battle Core is a place where users from different servers can come together and fight each other to find the strongest among them. Players will be able to join several battles and competitions in this server, and characters from each server can apply for the Battle Core through the NPC ‘Ellin’.
Once players enter the Battle Core server, they will be able to participate in the Chaos Castle Survival of the Fittest and Tormented Square Survival of the Fittest Events through the NPC ‘Mite’. Both tournaments will be organised by the MU ONLINE team from the 3rd through to the 9th of February (UTC).
Chaos Castle is a daily event that allows you to enter the Battle Core according to your level. Tormented Square is the Survival of the Fittest tournament of the “Devil Square Event” which is very difficult. Each team of 2 people competes for monster kill points and survival points, testing their character’s limit in the Survival of the Fittest Event.
The winner of the Chaos Castle Survival of the Fittest Event will receive the ‘Conqueror’s badge’ to get the ‘Wings of Conqueror’, and the winner of the Tormented Square Survival of the Fittest Event will receive the ‘Badge of Hardships’ to get the ‘Dark Transformation Ring’ via Noria Chaos Goblin. In addition, all of the winner’s character names will be listed on the Hall of Fame. Full details about the Survival of the Fittest Events Rewards can be found at:

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.

SEVENCORE Reveals Content Update with New Class 'Assassin'
-
Seoul, Korea, 13th January, 2015 - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that free-to-play MMORPG SEVENCORE unleashed the latest content update with the brand-new class ‘Assassin’ today.
After the scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, 13 January, the Assassin is now available for both English and Spanish servers.
Assassins are masters of agility who fight using daggers or claws to eliminate their opponents. Assassins specialise in melee combat, dealing swift and deadly blows using Daggers or Claws. Assassins bring both a high critical chance and dodge rate to the table, allowing them to outmanoeuvre foes before landing the finishing blow.
Claw Assassins are powerful melee fighters with access to numerous abilities to boost their critical chance, as well as skills allowing them to deal quick attacks to numerous foes. Claws specialise in striking quickly, dealing a large number of small blows in a short period of time. Claws pierce their enemy's defence by puncturing their armour, dealing critical damage.
Dagger Assassins rely more heavily on single target damage, with the ability to cloak themselves in order to deal powerful stealth attacks to unsuspecting enemies. Along with a strike from the shadows, exploiting your opponent's weakness and dealing crippling blows, Daggers allow the Assassin to deal small, quick blow, while being more agile than their warrior counterparts.
With this new content update, SEVENCORE offers an increased level cap for characters in English Server, going from level 60 to level 80. In conjunction with this increase, players with level 80 character will be able to explore a new field, Ancile Islands.
From now until 27 January, the Dungeon Runner Event will be organised by the Sevencore Team. Once players accept an event quest from event NPC at Delos and clear the dungeon, they will get a special prize.
In addition, a brand-new item Mechanical Mount will be available to buy on limited offer until the scheduled maintenance on 27 January 2015 (UTC).
More information about the latest update for SEVENCORE can be found on the official SEVENCORE websites: http://en.sevencore.webzen.com and http://es.sevencore.webzen.com.

ARCHLORD 2 Releases Its Latest Expansion and a New Server
-
Seoul, South Korea – 16th December 2014 - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the PvP-focused MMORPG Archlord 2 released its second expansion Eternal Strife and a new server today.
Eternal Strife introduces two new races, joining the ranks of the game’s factions. The Dragonscion join the Humans to support the Azuni’s cause, whereas the Moonelves rally under the banners of the Crunn. Specialized in magic, these new races offer unique starting zones, new archetypes and weapons, thus extending the range of choices for the Archlord 2 players.
Making up for their lack of stamina with clever engineering, Dragonscion are equipped with a long-range magical Pistol, making them a serious threat on any battlefield. Moonelves are not to be taken lightly either, as they are fond of their signature weapon, the Orb, which delivers devastating blows to their enemies. Following the introduction of these newcomers, players can explore the two new starting zones, revealing a side of Chantra drastically different from any of the previous territories. Dragonscion will start their adventure on the Island of Rest, populated with majestic towers and luxuriant forests, whereas the enchanting and mysterious Moonlight Tareh Forest will be the setting for the Moonelves’ first steps in Chantra.
With Eternal Strife, WEBZEN also opens a new European server, allowing newcomers to discover the world of Archlord 2 and existing players to start afresh if they wish to try out one of the new races.
To celebrate the winter season, the capital cities of Chantra will be decorated with a festive look and carols will play in town to spread the Christmas spirit to their inhabitants. Furthermore, a Christmas event is taking place until the 13th January, in which players pick up a quest from the event NPC in town and collect candy canes from defeated monsters in order to win a Christmas Costume for their characters.
For the players wanting to try out the Dragonscion or the Moonelves, a special event is now taking place, offering amazing rewards to whoever manages to become the first Archlord with a character of these races. Better start leveling now!
To add to the events bonanza, multiple server bonus are applied. Starting today, character experience, weapon mastery, item and gold drop rates as well as fame point acquisition will be increased until the 28th December.
Players with a WEBZEN account can download the game on the official website: http://archlord2.webzen.com/Download.
The trailer of the expansion is available on the WEBZEN YouTube channel: http://youtu.be/1xqTHtwpbEc
