Grand Chase – Sword Masters – Time For The Big Sword!

(July 23rd, 2008, Irvine California) Ntreev USA, Inc. has added a new playable character and the first ever 3rd Job Advancement for the Action Brawler MMO Grand Chase, developed by KOG.

New Job! New Character! Grand Chase Expands Its Content!

In the most recent series of content updates the 3rd Job Advancement for Elesis the Warrior has been unleashed for Grand Chase. This Job Advancement takes Elesis from her basic Warrior roots to the very pinnacle of her offensive power and potential as the massive blade wielding Sword Master. This is the first 3rd Job Advancement that has been released for Grand Chase! Ntreev USA has also recently released the fifth playable character, and second male character, Lass. Lass brings unparalleled speed, a dual weapon proficiency, and is the second character in the game to have a double jump and projectile attacks.

To both advance Elesis to the 3rd Job of Sword Master, or to unlock the new playable character, Lass, players must acquire special missions from the in-game Shop (purchasable with either Ntreev Cash Points nor in-game currency: GP!) and complete all of the mission requirements!

Level 51-100 accounts will be able to have three ‘mannequin’ characters, while level 100+ accounts will be able to have four. So, you can puppeteer your extra characters to do such things as store more items or send it off to do the tasks that you feel are below the integrity of your main character. Thus, we call it your mannequin character, if you understand the pun…ha.

Keeping these new features in mind, come join us and check out the new features.

Myth War II: Training Route Preview

Myth War II (http://mw2.igg.com/), the new sequel to the classic MMORPG from IGG (www.igg.com), continues the tradition of excellent play and an exciting community of players. Myth War II mainly contains 5 regions consisting of Sky Passage, Woodlingor, Blython, Desert City, and Demon Square. Today the Myth War II team is going to talk about where level 1 to 20 players should level up.

Sky Garden Level 1-4
Sky Garden definitely is a paradise for level 1-4 players; monsters living there are very weak, so low level players can beat them with ease.

Monsters in Sky Garden:
Chinchilla (Level 3)
Teethor (Level 5)
Earth Wolf (Level 7)

Revive Arena Level 4-9
The Revive Arena is located to the south of Woodlingor, and monsters here are not very dangerous, but their movement speed is relatively fast and these monsters are offensive. Level 4-9 players are advised to level up in here.

Monsters in the Revive Arena
Earth Wolf (Level 7)
Lizard Miner (Level 9)
Sword Spider (Level 11)

Snow Ridge Level 9-12
Snow Ridge, a totally white world, which has been long covered with snow and ice. It’s the only pass to Dragon Wove. Monsters in here have high attack and high movement speed, but their overall abilities are limited. Teaming up with other players to level up could be easier. Level 9-12 players are advised to play in here.

Monsters at Snow Ridge
Sword Spider (Level 11)
Nepenthes (Level 13)
Ghost Warrior (Level 15)

Sunset Plains Level 13-18
Sunset Plains, filled with beautiful sceneries, is to the south west of Blython. Monsters here have high attack and area attack. 5 players in a group with a Centaur who can recover HP will level up with ease and obtain more Exp. Level 13-18 players are advised to level up in here.

Monsters on the Sunset Plains
Ant Easter (Level 17)
Flyer (Level 19)
Bandit (Level 21)

“The outcome of our first Township Battle was a great success,” said Nicholas Louie, Director of

closed beta phase. From this battle’s turnout, I’m anxiously waiting for our first Major
Township Battle this Saturday, July 19th.”

Today, dozens of guilds arrived at each of the Township Battle Arenas at 10:00 AM PDT,
including thousands of spectators who were able to watch the battles, not only from the sidelines,
but also in the midst of the mayhem, as an invisible character. Lasting one hour, thousands of
players joined together as guilds to participate in the chance to gain glory and bragging rights –
as well as unique costumes, distributed to the winners.

Minor Township Battles are held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10:00 AM PDT
until 11:00 AM PDT. Major Township Battles are held Saturdays from 1:00 PM PDT until 2:00
PM PDT. In the Saturday Major Township Battles, in addition to Champion’s Armor and status,
the winning guilds gain the right to tax all commercial exchanges within the town for an entire
week, until the next Major Battle.

A leaderboard page for participating guilds’ rank and status is currently on the works and will
