Angels Online: Totem Battle Debut

The Angels Online (http://ao.igg.com/) team from IGG (www.igg.com) has already announced the league list, and talked about how leagues can benefit from their territory. With the Totem Battle coming soon (Feb 21st), today the Angels Online team is going to further talk about the exciting Totem Battle.

Totem Battle is actually a PVP battle between 2 leagues, with 1 league defending the totem, and the other attacking it. Player’s leagues can occupy certain territories by destroying the totems during an attack. After occupying the territory, players are able to deal with traders, exploit special materials, accept special quests, and challenge special Bosses. In addition, the Mysterious Map will be open to players’ leagues, so the members will have chances to obtain advanced equipment and items in the Lucky Bag, which can be redeemed from an NPC.

Zu Online: New Decomposing Gear Function

IGG has provided an introduction to a new, useful function that is available in Zu Online (http://zu.igg.com).

In the Zu world, trainees are always striving to level up and refine better and better gear. However, with level advances, their gear is constantly being rendered obsolete. It can be frustrating to refine gear many times only to outgrow it soon after. Well, some thoroughly frustrated trainees have found a way to make full use of their old gear by experimenting. First, decompose the gear in the Disenchanting Furnace and obtain whatever corresponding materials they provide. After that, refine more powerful gear with these materials again.

To help players refine new gear successfully, we are releasing more detailed information on decomposing gear here:

Step 1: Players can obtain a Disenchanting Furnace from a Casket and a Disenchanting Furnace interface will pop up when right clicking it.

Step 2: Drag the target gear into the “Gear” slot of the Disenchanting Furnace interface. The six slots on the right side of the Disenchanting Furnace will indicate what materials may be obtained.

Step 3: Left click the “Decompose” button and the whole decomposing process is quickly finished. After that, the materials gained will be put into players’ backpacks and the decomposed gear will disappear.

Tips for decomposing gear:

1. Players must have six empty slots in their backpack when decomposing gear.

2. The variety and quantity of materials will be obtained randomly when decomposing gear. The better the gear, the better the corresponding materials that will be obtained.

3. Players cannot decompose gear while refining, flying, casting or in a spirit state.

4. Decomposing gear will cost players some money. Different gear has different prices.

Wintery fourth region of Runes of Magic

Wintery fourth region of Runes of Magic

– Game Design Doc No. 3 describes Ystra-Highland –

Berlin, 2008/08/18: Just before the start of the Games Convention, publisher Frogster reveals details about the fourth region in Runes of Magic. In opposition to the previously
presented regions of the fantasy online-roleplaying game, the Ystra-Highland impresses with a downright wintery scenario.

It received its name “Ystra” from the Minotaurs who live in this area. Besides the bitter cold climate, it is these furious and belligerent creatures and the Ice Fairies with their cruel
elegance that impress visitors the most. To defend against both races and to safeguard the free and secure passage on Khazor’s Mountain Road, the Order of the Dark Glory positioned a formidable army here. Even though magical teleportation has dampened the importance of this place for transit, the number of people who travel through here has not diminished. In
part this can be explained by the many legends and myths entwined within this region with its enormous skeletons on the Sea of Snow, the ancient texts from the Tower of Wailing
Winds, the secret treasures of the Cyclops and many other arcane mysteries. More details about the Ystra-Highland can be found in the separate game design document No. 3.

At the Games Convention online adventurers can test play the first region of Runes of Magic at stand A10 of Frogster Interactive in hall 5. Further information, a registration form for beta-signup and a new action-trailer are available on the official website:
www.runesofmagic.com.
