The latest version of Angels Online (V1.0.0.7) including Totem Battle and some new Lucky Bags (Item Mall) is open to players now. Please visit the official download page at

Today the Zu Online (http://zu.igg.com/ ) team has been kind enough to give up their precious time to talk to their players about their stunning new game, Zu Online.

When it comes to the world of Zu, all players have been amazed at not only the quality of the graphics but also the way they translate something so foreign into something so familiar. Not only is the game based on Chinese mythology, as well as featuring many aspects of Chinese culture, but the landscape itself immerses all players into and unmistakably Chinese world.

From the dark washed out watercolors in the background that remind one of a classic painting, to the distinctly Chinese mountains that constantly loom over the landscape, players are constantly reminded that this is not their traditional western RPG and they’re definitely not in the Middle Ages anymore.

Angels Online (http://ao.igg.com/) has attracted tons of players’ attention since its Open Beta Test started. This game prides itself on its cute characters and captivating in-game systems. Today Angels Online team is going to give their players a little preview of Credit and Rank.

PVP Battle: Participating in the upcoming Totem Battle or donating various materials to the Totem of your faction (building totem) will also enable you to obtain Credit.
Craft Recipe: Angels who belong to the production system can obtain Credit by making goods according to the craft recipe they collect.
To Obtain Credit in the Fighting System: Finishing quests and killing enemies during the PVP battle.
To Obtain Credit in the Production System: Craft recipes and building the totem for your faction.

WCL Match WYD Global vs WYD Korea
Last February 19, 2008, WYD Global faced off with the WYD powerhouse – Korea. The two servers fought a battle of power as each team rushed to kill their opponents’ king. The Koreans are the first to kill the Global Server’s General but shortly, Global managed to dispatch Korean’s General. An intense rush followed. Both Korea and Global are destroying each other’s barracks and disposing the guards. After a few more minutes, Korea got the upperhand and killed the opponent’s King. The Korea won the match and gave the Global server its first defeat.
The next match for WYD Global will be on February 22, 2008 against Philippines. Will the Global Server stand up now and win? As of the meantime, enjoy the video of our first match between Korea and Global server

As of next Monday (Feb. 25th), Server London in the US will be moved to a server based in Great Britain to better accommodate our European players. We anticipate this change bringing smoother, uninterrupted game play to its users. The new time zone for this server will be GMT.
