Zero Online: Expanding Horizon Hyper-Energy Research

The pilots are anxious to research their new units and try to develop some of the available hyper-energy skills, so that they can command their fused units to dominate the vast and mystic universe.
 
Now let us enter the Hyper-energy Institute to reveal the secrets of the mysterious and powerful hyper-energy research.
 
Fusion Skill
After you complete the missions to learn the fusion skills, you can use it to fuse your unit with the ARMs. The fused unit not only has an exclusive appearance and stats, but also a distinct battle style and effects. You can also level up your fused unit to enjoy the awesome feeling of accomplishing something some say is impossible. Although it has none of its own equipment, it can use all the equipment that is in use before fusion. This has greatly reduced the cost of arming yourself, thereby making it attractive to higher ranked soldiers.
 
Potency Surge
Once you have completed the research of potency technology, your fused unit’s potency will surge and become much more powerful. You can use the potency field to increase your potency, and make your attacks increase in power and frequency. The hyper-energy research has greatly improved the battle abilities of the Alliance forces, and makes the pilots feel more confident than ever.
 
Quanta Defense
Do not underestimate the role played by the Quanta Defense. It is as important as the cores. If your unit has no Quanta Defense, it will be more vulnerable to the enemies. Once it is fully covered by the Quanta Defense, it can resist the damage from the enemies and protect you from being destroyed while you’re fighting. This can extend the battle duration of your units, and give you enough time to pull off that killing blow.
 
New Skills
Here, we are not talking about the fusion skills, but a new set of skills that are being perfected. So what are they? What other skills can the hyper-energy institute develop? All pilots know that the Overdrive skills are the most powerful skills in the Alliance’s arsenal. According to the reports from the Hyper-energy Institute, the scientists have developed some skills that are even more powerful than the Overdrive skills. Can these skills help the pilots clear the threat of the Othello invasion? Let’s wait and see!
 
Besides the fused unit and hyper-energy research, what else will the Expanding Horizon bring us? New regions to explore and treasures to find? More exciting news is coming! Don’t go away, and keep an eye on the official announcements as they are released!

Flyff to Launch V13 Summer 2009

Gala Net, Inc. has announced the launch of Flyff V13, scheduled to go live this summer through the gPotato game portal. V13 will be Flyff’s most comprehensive version to date.
This new version brings a slew of features that focus on the user experience and interaction in game. V13’s expansive update provides for a brand new territory for players to discover, Coral Island. This island provides an area designed specifically for low to mid level users to explore and offers double the XP and double the drop rates. Players will revel in this opportunity to level up at an expedited rate and stockpile items as they do so.
 
Players will also see an achievement system where they are instantly recognized for their feats and accomplishments. Avid Aibatt conquistadors can now be recognized as Aibatt Hunters across their server. More of a lover and less of a fighter? Users who couple up with over 100 other players will be dubbed as Casanova! Over a 100 couplings? That’s certainly an achievement indeed.
 
V13 will also introduce players to domestic bliss! Players can now form couples and receive special bonuses while playing together. In addition, all players will receive their very own home in game for the first time. Players can decorate their rooms as they wish, and even hold gatherings and get-togethers in their humble abode.
 
The most anticipated new feature in Flyff is guaranteed to be the Rainbow Race. Not only are users tested on their ability to quickly race from one area to the next, they will have to complete and solve a series of tasks and puzzles in order to win the race. The Rainbow Race can essentially be described as Flyff’s very own grand scale scavenger hunt across all continents – with amazing prizes to boot. Sound familiar?
 
“Flyff was one of the first free to play MMO’s in the space and since its launch in the North American market we have seen the community explode and grow exponentially,” says Senior Producer, Keehwan Her. “With this significantly important update, we see Flyff once again realigning itself as the leader of Free to Play MMO games-offering the latest in features and game play. We look forward to presenting V13 to our users!”
 
Look at some nice new Flyff screenshots!

The abundance of these prizes depends on the players’ levels.

GM will wander around all maps in World of Kung Fu. They will choose players randomly which means anytime, anywhere. The host GM will ask the players if they accept to challenge the Emerald Tiger.

May 5th to May 26th – “Knock, Knock!”:
 
This event have some similarity to the previous one, but instead of asking players if they want to challenge the Emerald Tiger, the GM will knock the door and give players a random quest. Players will be asked to collect certain number of loots or to forge a gear in a time period. Of course, players have a right to refuse the quest, but if so they will miss a chance to get a 5 million experience pearl.

Project of Planets

In Project of Planets all military powers have started to make more efforts to develop the application of nuclear combination technique and the hidden research on the mech on the basis of this technique. During that time, unknown cosmos-organism was discovered to approach the earth amid the nations’ escalating conflicts. These continual cosmos-organisms invaded into the atmosphere at last, which totally destroyed the ozonosphere and the earth surface. People could not live on earth any longer, so they had to move to underground base.
Fourteen years later the survivors reconvened United Nation conference and reached the agreement of resources share, so they were determined to return to the earth to fight back and take back the control of our mutual land.

Silkroad Online: Latest Expansion The Legend 4 update – Tomb of Qin-Shi Emperor

Written by Rick Charb (Jammart), Onrpg writer
 

Overview

 
Subject to a wonderful in-game tour with Silkroad’s kind staff, I was able to discover and explore many new additions to Silkroad Online. Axed on the latest update of the game, my tour was held in the Tomb of Qin-Shi Emperor, a large maze-like dungeon located deep in the Chinese portion of the game. To summarize their update, this legend 4 update approached the release of a new dungeon, Tomb of the Qin-Shi Emperor, an increase in the maximum level (from 90 to 100), new skills and items, and a new unique monsters concept. I will run through this large update with you in larger detail in the coming paragraphs.
 
My tour began at the first level of the Qui-Shi dungeon. Equipped with a rather largely proportioned blade, I was most certainly ready to venture onward with my team of fierce combatants (who also seemed to have gigantic weaponry). I was warned early on that this tomb was meant for high level players only (being level 70+), and that it was highly recommended to travel in groups. Most unique monsters (only fightable by activating certain quests) cannot be killed solo, though one may be able to fight regular monsters alone.
 
This first room of the dungeon is said to be the largest one of its entity. The rest of the temple is a set of sixteen rooms that follow in a maze-like fashion. Some portals bring you up a few levels, some bright you down a level or two, and some portals bring you right back to the start. Some portals are locked and require a certain key to activate. That being said, getting to the final room of the tomb can be quite the hassle! 
 
Venturing through the various rooms of the dungeon, we had encountered many different statues. These special statues can be destroyed to provoke the springing of a trap. Sometimes the spawning of very powerful monsters is the result!
 
Soon, after my team and I had been bashing countless amounts of monsters, I was confided in the legend that relates to this infamous tomb. Legend has it that this tomb was that of Beak Yung, a mythic half viper half human. Beak Yung had given up her viper form for the gift of love, but not long after her true form was revealed, and for her crimes against the heavenly mandate, she was banished to live in a tower. However, this tower was desecrated due to war, and now she resides in this tomb. Her only purpose in life is to take the lives of mortals that dare enter her dwelling.
That’s right, you guessed it! Beak Yung is the final boss in the game, and one of the most (if not the most) powerful baddie in the game. Even seeing this beast is an incredible feat, as it is very difficult to reach the final room of the tomb. You even have to battle five unique monsters, that are powerful enough to begin with, before entering her chamber. So far, only a few servers have been able to gather up groups that were successful in the hunt of Beak Yung. This boss must be defeated in groups. It is virtually impossible to fight her alone. The tomb is indeed filled with many fierce enemies, but none compare to the wrath of Beak Yung in the least.
 

Opinion of the update

As an addition to this update, the Magic Pop system is thriving. Players of the game are making use of this interesting item-lottery system to obtain some of the game’s most fabled equipment. However, to be able to take your chances at this gamble, you do have to purchase an item mall item: the magic pop ticket. Each ticket values one turn—simple! I don’t really think this feature brings a lot of good in terms of the game’s economy (which is already suffering quite a bit), but it does help support Joymax in adding more servers to the game and such, so I suppose it’s a win/win situation for both the players and Joymax.
 In regards to the massive tomb, I believe it to be a very large step forward for Silkroad Online. This high-level content is thriving with players (of which are mostly legit, might I add!) and due to this the atmosphere of the game is ever-changing in a positive way. I had enjoyed myself a great deal during my adventures in the tomb, and I thought the new skills and humongous monsters to be very impressive, not to mention those insanely large weapons in my arsenal. It was all in great fun, and I do recommend this new Silkroad if you are willing to contribute to its item mall (which in this case is the only way to access the game without trying to connect 10 or 20 times).
The storyline affecting this tomb is also pretty impressive. I enjoyed reading the legend and finding information about the great beast living deep inside the dungeon. This epic monster has only been defeated a few times, and thus is still quite an amazing feat (in terms of the game, of course) to succeed in her destruction. She also tends to drop very rare and highly priced items.
There couldn’t be a better time to get back into Silkroad Online. As we know, the botting issue is still at large, but Joymax is tackling it day by day in their goal to eliminate all hackers, botters, and unruly players from their game. As previously mentioned, if you can play this free MMORPG whilst still paying for easy access to the game, this is a definite must try on my list. I really liked the simplicity of the game’s functions, and the fact that every character has the chance to be completely unique in terms of skills. Now, if only it wasn’t nearly impossible to connect to the game…..
 
Happy Gaming!
