Shot-Online Season 2 includes many significant enhancements over the
original Shot-Online release. Highlights of the new Season 2 game
features include:

Meet the newest golfer on the course: Camilla is a 26-year-old
Brazilian who tees off for the first time in Season 2.

New course, ‘Pearl Green Island’, looks like a resort island in the
tropics and has a difficulty level between that of the Cadeiger and
Rufus Arena.

The addition of a four-player ‘Las Vegas Game Mode’ has been included
where the highest and lowest level team members are paired together
then changed up after every team match according to their score on the
previous hole. The winning team also receives an additional 50% EXP on
each hole and the losing team receives 50% less EXP.

A new ‘Worldwide Arena’ where all Shot-Online players will now be
able to record their scores of the World Championship and check their
ranking for the tournament has now been included. The ‘World Ranking’
records all of the scores from the World Championship and uses a
realistic method of calculating scores that was actually adopted from
the PGA tournament methodology. The world rankings for the World
Championship will be determined according to all World Championship
scores recorded in the Arena for the past one year.

The new ‘My Course Ranking’ will allow players to check their ranking
among all the players around the world. The average score of each
course is calculated and the ranking is determined accordingly. Course
records will also be updated every 6 months.

An updated Messenger will help players manage the friend list, guild
member list and graduate fellows list all in one form. A new note
system will be added and players will also be able to set their status
(online, busy, etc.). In addition, the friend registration process has
been changed, now requiring both sides to register. The limitation of
the friends list has also been set to a maximum of 200.

New upgrades have been made to sound quality and added sound effects,
including high quality BGM’s for the new course.

A new Guild feature with a take-in/take-out Guild Locker function has
been added (Master/Assistant, Master/Regular, Member/Semi-Member).
There will be a guild locker usage log in the game and Assistant Guild
Masters are increased according to the guild level. Benefits for
Master/Assistant Master include additional guild points and guild room
coupons.

An enhanced Chat Window enabling users to choose and set up regular
chats, guild chats, private messages and tips has been added. The
existing chat messages will also remain when moving to the Square,
Auction House and Game List.

Higher graphic quality and lighting effects will be included,
providing more realistic and stereoscope expressions for the
characters. The new multi texture will provide more realistic visuals
on all courses and more delicate and transparent expressions for the
characters. Enhanced face motion and animation are also included.

New Quest features with an NPC will provide quests in which players
need to complete a certain condition in order to gain a particular
item, EXP, NG or other special items. The Quests for lower level users
will help to educate the beginners on how to play Shot-Online and
newly added Quests for mid and high level users will provide new goals
to players who just aim to level up.

A new Caddy System will provide help and record player scores, with
additional functions following soon.

An enhanced user loading on the square will improve the loading time
when players enter the square, allowing for no delays.

The new In-Game Item Mall will allow players to use the Item Mall in
the game. A “Send as Gift” function has also been added, allowing
players to preview what a certain Item Mall item will look like on a
character prior to purchase. Purchasing Campus Cash will still be
available through the website only.

Tales of Pirates: Version 2.0 Preview

Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com/), a 3D MMORPG from IGG (www.igg.com ), is based on cute characters and eye-catching storylines, and quickly created a huge following for itself since its debut more than a year ago.
ToP is now preparing version 2.0 which will bring fresh experience to players including new stories, maps, mobs, quests and systems, especially the massive PVP system. Now we’ll have a brief preview of Tales of Pirates V2.0.
I. New Stories:
On Ascaron calendar 4035, a shining fireball streaked across the sky and dropped into the sea, south of the Deep Blue Region, followed by a terrible tsunami that swept the world.
After the tsunami, the adventurers arrived at the sea region where the fireball dropped, and unexpectedly they found a giant whirlpool, from which out came a chilling air and the continuous roaring of protectors.
What is the secret sealed in these Islands of Winter?
II. New Map, New Mobs
Winter Island
Contains 5 small islands, a total 9 regions, and it is the successive island on sea following the Spring, Summer, and Autumn Island. It is the island of dreams for Players Level 80+ to improve themselves where they will have new monsters to challenge and successive quests to do it.
New maze: The God Redemption
There are 2 types, the Bright Maze which players can only enter in daytime and the Dark Maze, which can only be accessed by night. If seen from above, the 2 mazes seem to have a serious face (Bright Maze) and a sinister-smiling face (Dark Maze). Also they have totally different terrain, vegetables and architecture.
III. New Quests:
In Winter Island many new quests and relevant NPCs are delicately designed, awaiting players’ experience.
IV. Cool items and gear:
New Items: Considerable new drops, including quest items and items which can be redeemed.
New Gear: 4 sets of Level 85 gear and 4 sets of Level 95 Boss equipment, one set per class. All the new gear grants the players experience bonuses and additional chance for drops.
V. New Mobs:
Before going to fight the new monsters in Winter Island, including in the Bright and Dark Mazes, players from different classes need to team up to face the challenge.
VI.PVP Arena:
The master will join the PVP contest along with the apprentice. There is also seating in the arena, and players can come in to watch the PK contest and leave at any time.
VII. Upper Limit of Level Adjustment
Level and Exp System
Decreases the leveling-up difficulties for Level 80+ players and adjusts the upper level limit to level 120, also fixes the balance of classes。
VIII. Guide for Newbies
More considerate newbie guide system, and newbie quests! Will guide the new starters to level up fast in the shortest time during the quests.
