Voyage Century Say No to Vicious PKs

The new edition of Voyage Century (http://vc.igg.com) has been updated with the Hunting Roll. When use the Hunting Roll you are switching to the state of hunting after buying it. If you shoot down a Player with a Red Name whose notoriety degree is 10+, he will be thrown into prison at once. The effect of the Hunting Roll will last for on hour.

The creation of the Hunting Roll will deal the highly vicious players a big blow and thus hopefully restrain vicious PKs in VoyageCentury. Furthermore, the Hunting Roll is available to every player so all of you can do your share and be a righteous prize hunter. In addition to the debut of the Hunting Roll, we also will make some adjustments to the rule in Prison Break in the international edition of VoyageCentury in which nobody of notoriety 30+ can break out of Prison, they will only be able to stay at the prison and await the expiration of their punishment. Although notorious Players can resort to the Pardon Roll to remit his guilt, of course, it would cost him a considerable bunch of silver.

After taking the serious considerations of Player’s suggestions, this time around we have decided to release this Hunting Roll which we believe will return an equal, and pure gaming world to our Players. Let’s expect a more polite and fun VCO in the near future.

Zu Online: A Preview of Armor for Sun Warriors

IGG has just introduced the armor for Sun Warriors—one of the clans of Zu Online, seen briefly on http://zu.igg.com/.

Sun Warriors, with their strong will and steel-like body, are one of the strongest clans in Zu Online. They are always at the forefront of a battle, acting as a tank to protect their allies. That’s why they are called the master of hand-to-hand combat. If you engage in a fight against them, you’d better keep your distance from them for no one will be able to survive in a hand-to-hand combat against them.

Below are the level 1-6 armors for the Sun Warriors. There are 2 sets for each level, of which one can be bought from an NPC and the other one can only be dropped by monsters around the game world.

Complete Task System in Age of Armor

With Age of Armor Closed Beta right around the corner, we invite players to experience the task system in Age of Armor and provide their feedback.
There are six kinds of quests in Age of Armor. They are Main Task, Training Task, Chip Task, Race Tasks, Repeatable Task, and Instance Task. Each of them is independent and relatively connected with each other. You can either choose to finish the Main quest to become an excellent soldier or complete some repeatable quests to become a rich guy. We have also designed some repeatable quests in order to help recruits gain more money and essential material to update their armors. These quests only require players to hand in few of normal material looted from the mobs. Special missions for those level 20+ players to get “Special Chip” have also been added into our game. The players who complete the quest would gain a special chip to improve their armors with special skills. For those new recruits, we provide a series of quests to help them get familiar with the game from level 4 to level 25. By completing Race Tasks, players gain not only some wonderful equipment but also a better idea of their own race. As for the Instance Task, epic equipment can be looted from the Boss there. There are still many other surprising quests waiting for the players to complete!
The 2nd Closed Beta of Age of Armor will start on August 15. Now you can get an account by the following link:

Tales of Pirates Feature Light: Vessels System

The most attractive part of Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com) is the sea battle, and Players wanting to test their mettle on the open water have got to have a vessel. After all without a vessel of some kind how can you conduct a proper sea battle? All rhetoric aside, vessels can be bought from an NPC in Argent City, Shaitan City, Icicle City or Thundoria.

Players can answer the call of the sea after reaching level 20! 1 character can own up to 3 vessels at most; during construction of the vessels, there are four main parts you can change, which are the Bow, Mobility, Cannon and Components; you can replace each part, with different combinations you will have different abilities in the sea, and the prices will vary as well. You need to obtain a Vessel Deed which proves your identity after building the vessel; and you may not board your precious vessel without the Vessel Deed.

<img="http://www.onrpg.com/system/data/images/b2a4d3314a098a94efbae8ec202d17f4.jpg”>

Once you have obtained a vessel you can sail out after talking to the Harbor Operator. You can also refuel and repair your vessels at any Harbor operator.

The biggest selling point of Tales of Pirates is our unique vessels system, to adventure the wide open sea in your own pirate vessel, to explore new places and find lost treasure will be a marvelous experience for all Players!
