Create Armor on My Own

Does extraterrestrial exist in the endless universal? If it does, what does it look like? Gundam? Such questions may appear in many fans’ mind for many times. With the game industry’s development, many games come out one by one. Age of Armor, which developed by Snail Game comes with a hope that to provide a in-game robot world for all the fans,
The most important difference between AoA and other such kinds of games is players can assemble their armors on their own! Each armor has four main parts, head, body, arms and legs. These four parts can make up an integrated armor when players go to the assemble robot to finish the process. Players can change the head, body, arms and legs optionally. Assemble not only create difference in the armor’s appearance, but also effect armor’s battle effectiveness, which is a feature of AoA. The in-game fight will happen at anytime, so it is particular important to handle both the weapon and armor operation. Players can set different kinds fight weapons, short range or long-distance weapons and weapon defense in their shoulders and arms, which can shift freely.
Create the armor you want in Age of Armor!
You could know more details about AoA by visiting www.aoaus.com.

Transform and Fight

Do you remember a cartoon named Transformers? Have you seen a hot film named Transformers? If the answer is yes, then you can go to Age of Armor to re-taste your beautiful memory of childhood and make your dreams come true; if the answer is no, then you can go the Age of Armor to experience the wonderful game to transform like the transformers.
You can control a robot in Age of Armor; what’s more, you can transform, and change into a car, a plane, a dragon or other kinds of figures. If your armor transforms to be a car, the speed will be faster; if your armor transforms to be a plane, you can attack monsters or enemies above the sky; different style has different advantages.
All the parts of the armor include head, control cabin, core, arm, leg, shield and weapon, which are invisible from the appearance of armor. However, those parts are the most important parts for you to transform in the Transformed System.
Transformation in Age of Armor needs players to combine two styles of armor changing to launch. After players change the exterior set, the whole armor will be in a state of middle conformation, which looks like normal, but it is ready for transformation and its ability is increased. For example, the armor Tiger will show its teeth and tiger tabby after changing the fittings. It will activate the final transformed style after the player changes proper inner set. Armor Tiger will become a real TIGER with more powerful strength. Final transformation will consume a chip and with time limitation. Players can not always be in the transformed statue which is in order to keep balance and interest of AoA. In a word, if you want to survive in such crude world, the best way is to choose the best time to transform.
Base on such creative transformed system plus the communication during playing this MMORPG provide a great atmosphere for all the players. Transform to fight!

Tales of Pirates: Key to the Demonic World

About the Demonic World
There is a huge underground maze deep in the snowfield of Ascaron in Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com). That maze is what we called the demonic world. Rumor says that in the maze, conceals some chests of the demonic world which contains the supernatural equipment and gems that can unseal the level 65 equipment. Equipped with the equipment, you will be endowed with the power of the king of pirate?

However, the demonic world is not a place easy to be reached. The portal to the demonic world is accessible at EST 9:00 AM 12:00AM 3:00PM 6:00PM and will last for only 40 minutes. Even if you had entered the demonic world, there are lots of danger lies ahead. Ancient monsters are waiting for the unwelcome visitors from the outside world. Thousand of pirates had lost their lives here. Though, their followers still challenge to unveil the mystery of the unknown world.

Coordinates
Everyone will fell into delusion while in the huge maze. To the veterans, intuition is their best guide. However, to these new visitors of the maze, coordinates will offer them great help.

About Monsters
Maze first floor: Level 50 Imaginary Snow Doll
Level 55 Snow Doll Spirit
Level 57 Evil Snow Doll Spirit
Though the level of these monsters is not so high compared with other monsters in the maze, their attack is pretty high. They are a threat to voyager, sharpshooter and crusader. If they are team with champion, they will be much safer.

Maze second floor: Level 61 Demonic Snowman
Level 65 Demonic Yeti
Level 59 Confused Snow Doll
These are elites among the monsters. With high attack and defence, only champions are able to confront them.

Maze first floor boss monster: Snow Lady. Skilled in frozen skills, is a ticklish opponent.

Maze first floor boss monster: Snowman Warlord. It’s formidable monster, skilled in Mighty Strike and Knock out.

These are some basic information of the maze. Hope it will be helpful for the pirates questing for the demonic world.
