SEVENCORE’s first expansion arrives on the 2nd of December 2014
-
Seoul, Korea, 28th November, 2014 - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, will release the first expansion for free-to-play MMORPG SEVENCORE on the 2nd of December.
Starting Tuesday, 2nd December 2014, all players will be able to explore new battlefield areas with the upcoming Occupation War for the English server ‘Balmung’.
Those who participate in battlefields such as Tillau and Crimson Plateau will earn players Victory Points (VP). Victory Points can be used to purchase powerful weapons, armor, random boxes, and even mounts from the PVP Vendors. While these items are usually tailored toward PvP combat, they’re suitable for PvE combat as well, making Battlefields an excellent source of powerful gear.
The Tillau boasts buffs spawning in various areas of the map and a quest to get a temporary mount to use in battle. The Crimson Plateau puts teams against each other in a head on conflict. With both Staging Points placed directly below their teams spawning location, the Crimson Plateau will be a battlefield which is most likely won by defeating you opponents rather than claiming their Staging Point.
With the introduction of the Occupation War, a guild will compete against other guilds each week on the English server every Saturday 21:00 (UTC) to occupy a certain area in order to collect taxes and manage prices in regional goods. Each winning guilds will be able to access the finals, Presidential election for Inadar, a world that combines science fiction with elements of fantasy.
SEVENCORE is a free-to-play MMORPG with a mounted combat, featuring unique combat abilities of mounts and weapons add another degree of strategy never seen in MMORPGs. SEVENCORE offers also incredible depth when it comes to character customization; from the initial look of your avatar to their armour, weapons, and even mounts.
More information about the game can be found on the official SEVENCORE websites: http://en.sevencore.webzen.com and http://es.sevencore.webzen.com.

Age of Wulin Releases New Expansion on 25th November 2014
-
Seoul, South Korea – 3rd November, 2014 – 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 second expansion on 25th November, officially ending the Open Beta Phase.
"Chapter3: Wisdom is a Journey" will be released in English and delivers a ton of exciting new features to the already expansive game, while also fundamentally revamping existing functions.
As of November, Age of Wulin players will benefit from two fundamental level cap enhancements, which each offer undiscovered heights for new and old players alike:
- Firstly, the character-specific strength cap will be increased by opening up the new, mysterious 4th Internal Skill of each of the 8 existing Sects, while also providing a greater level cap for non-Sect “Jianghu” Internal Skills.
- Secondly, the character-defining Sect skills will receive a critical upgrade; players will soon be able to perfect their martial art skills to the 8th and 9th levels.
On the path to these new heights, players will be able to test their newfound power in tougher, more challenging versions of existing dungeons, particularly the “Sect Forbidden Instances”. They can also bring their skills to the PvP arena, and take the opportunity to demonstrate their dominance in our two new PvP tournaments: The Dragon and Tiger Tournament & the Inter-Sect Tournament.
While the Inter-Sect Tournament focuses on Sect dominance by limiting the usable skills to only those available from your native Sect, the Dragon and Tiger Tournament is a more generic tournament with fewer restrictions. Both new competitions offer near-daily matches, leading up to weekend finals, with opportunities to win skill books and progression items along the way. Accompanying the Mount Hua Competition, our monthly in-game tournament, these two new functions bring Age of Wulin further up in the line of competitive PvP play.
The Age of Wulin team will regularly reveal more features on their website. Stay tuned for more: http://en.wulin.webzen.com/
