Zu Online: Tips for Training Level 180-210 Characters

Once you reach level 180 in Zu Online, you may be wondering where you can get more training to improve even further. Well, we’re pleased to give an introduction to this today.

Have you ever been to the Frozen Sea? What was your first impression? If you said “dangerous,” then you might be right. The Frozen Sea is indeed a very dangerous zone. However, as the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. At the Frozen Sea, the brave and daring can have great opportunities to gather new experience through their conquests. Here is a brief introduction to the monsters you might find there.

Level 180-190:

When you are between level 180-190, Bear Ride Robbers (Level 183), Icy Robbers (Level 185) or Fiery Winds (Level 187) are suitable opponents for you.

Level 191-200:

When you reach level 190, you can challenge stronger enemies like Venom Birds (Level 192) and Water Ghosts (Level 196).

Level 201-210:

If you are able to defeat the deadly Tundra Bear, you might be ready to step up to a new challenge. Icy Silkworms (Level 207), Seal Guards (Level 210) and Ghouls (Level 211) will match you as your level goes up gradually.

The Frozen Sea is a great place for players at level 180+ but don’t pretend you haven’t been warned!

Shadow of Legend Review: Classic MMO

By Rick Charbs, Onrpg writer

Shadow of Legend is a classic 2D styled MMORPG published by SmartCell Technology LLC. Released in 2008, one would expect something a little more refined. This game doesn’t have anything unique going for it and the features are not very impressionable, it stands out as one of the first ever mobile MMORPGS. Furthermore, this MMO can be played on the PC, making for a pretty interesting experience. This game is also cross-platform, meaning that both PC and smart phone players will interact in the same game world. We must agree that this is a pretty large step for all MMORPGS alike? online multiplayer gaming on your phone!

Gameplay

Not really containing anything uprising, Shadow of Legend offers pretty bland and basic gameplay. Two factions are at war in the setting of the game, and you must pick a faction as well as one of four character classes to participate in this battle. The chaos faction holds the Dwarf and Orc race, and the Agnes faction holds the Elves and the Human race. The four classes each faction can choose from are: Combatant, Mage, Monk, and Archer. Surprisingly, there is a good amount of customization as far as skill builds go, even with only four different character classes. There are many specializations in the skill trees that you can chose to follow or ignore. This MMO also features very large scale PvP combat modes, which seems obvious due to the setting of the game, and the battles are actually very well organized. With such, comes a very extensive guild system with guild bases and smaller scaled wars. There are few other features, but player mounts, a large storyline, auto-move (great for phone players), and your very basic click to fight combat. This game is severely lacking in features for a PC MMORPG, but from the mobile point of view, there is a lot to offer for such a small portable device! SmartCell also hosts many events and activities to grasp player interest, such as writing contests, giveaways, and holiday celebrations. It is truly necessary, as the game does not have much to do. You will also notice a great deal of repetition within the game.

Graphics and Sound

Shadow of Legend does not have much to review in the department of graphics and sound. Once again, on a phone, the graphics are actually quite decent and the sound is below average, whereas on a computer, the game looks way too simple, blocky, unclean, and unfinished. For a game that has released in 2008, one would hope for a little more quality and a more appealing game as far as graphics and sound go. If you like the classics, there is still hope for you! This game looks just like an MMORPG from the 90s! The settings and environments are average, though I did enjoy their integrity with the storyline of the game. In addition, the font size and GUI are obnoxiously small, as they were probably destined for smart phones. If you are looking for something next-gen however, stay far away from this one. I was severely disappointed by the visuals of this game (…and I am a fan of classic-looking games).

Personal Recommendation

Having only played this MMORPG on PC, I have little to say about it. The overall experience I have had in my short-lived time in-game was not what I had expected. It was just too simple for an MMORPG. I admit I was a little disappointed by the core features and depth of this game, but I do realise they have innovated the world of gaming as we know it, and that takes dedication! I suggest you leave this game alone if you only plan on playing it on your computer. This game is extremely casual, new gamer friendly, and well supported by its staff. That is why I believe it is the perfect type of MMORPG for a phone. I suppose this game could keep you occupied while you are travelling or just have nothing to do with your phone lying around. Personally, a phone for me is for use of talk and text only, but we all have our own tastes.

Pros

-Simple, no learning curve

-Auto-move function for easy travel

-Cross platform (smart phone / pc)

-Extensive skill trees

Cons

-Poor graphics and sound quality

-Lacking content and features

-Repetitive

-Small font

Eudemons: servers merge

The Birmingham server will merge into London on January the 21st. All players’ data on the original servers will be completely transferred to the new server after completion. After the server merger, players can login the merged server from the original server entry. All of the players on the new London server will be awarded with 7 days’ double experience from Jan 21st to Jan 27th.
 
Birmingham + London = London
 
The level of the characters, items, gold and Eudemons in the inventories and warehouses, the Eudemon Warehouses and Eudemon Hatchers on the original server will be completely retained.
 
If you have two characters in both merged servers with the same account, you need to delete either one before the servers are merged. Otherwise, the character on the Birmingham server will be automatically deleted by the system (The character can be retrieved via the Mannequin System).
 
You can even retrieve your deleted characters by following the instructions below:
 
How to retrieve your deleted characters via the Mannequin System
You can find your deleted characters by opening your Mannequin window after the current character has reached Level 50 (if you already have more than 5 mannequins currently on London, you can delete mannequins you don’t need to restore mannequins you need.)
 
Click on the "Login" button, the offline character will become online – together with other online characters.
If you want all mannequin characters to be online, just click on the button "Login All". All the lost items will also be found in the deleted characters.
 
After the two servers are merged:
1. After servers merge, players can log in to the merged server from the original server entry. The Eudemon IDs will be kept. Consequently, two different Eudemons may share the same Eudemon ID in the new server.
2. The occupied family maps will be cleared.
3. The occupied legion maps will be cleared.
4. For the two booths of the same position in the original two servers, only the more valuable one will be kept. The income from the less valuable one will be completely given back to its owner.

7. Please do not auction within 24 hours before the servers are merged. Items in the Auction House will be cleared after the servers are merged.
8. Same character names, family names and legion names will be automatically changed by the system. You can find Eric (293,435) in Cronus to change their names.
