Mentor System Coming to Age of Wulin

Age of Wulin Mentorship

WEBZEN, a global leader in free-to-play MMORPGs, share information about Senior and Junior Brother system, new feature from the Age of Wulin upcoming expansion – Immortal Legends. The expansion will be available to all European players in May 2014.

The system will allow rookie players to pair up with veterans to enjoy game together, to acquire special benefits but ultimately, to save plenty of time from just playing Age of Wulin.

With the Senior and Junior Brother system, the game progression for the players who just started their adventures in world of Wuxia, will be simple like never before. It will help them understand Internal Skills, or in other words, player’s passive statistics better and will allow experienced players to get special bonuses and gain precious reputation.

AoW Respect

In order to be able to use this feature both players will need to match certain criteria, for example, be in the same martial arts school or have certain level of Internal Skills. The master player, in game called Senior Brother will be allowed to look after two apprentices, called Junior Brothers.

Once the apprenticeship is formed, the Junior Brother will be able to select Internal Skills that they would like to improve. With every 5 levels of the Internal Skills up to level 25 that the Junior Brother gain, both Senior Brother and Junior Brother will receive a reward box with the precious items. They will also be able to participate in special weekly quests. Additionally, as long as the Senior Brother is online, the Junior Brother will also receive health and defense boost.

Age of Wulin Determination

Upon graduation, the Junior Brother will receive special discounts for new Internal Skills and the Senior Brother will receive not only reputation, but also massive amount of Cultiavation points.

With all these benefits and rewards the Senior and Junior Brother system will provide game-changing social experience to new and veteran players alike, and will also allow to build strong Age of Wulin community of players who enjoy spending time together and helping others.

The Senior and Junior Brother system will be introduced with the Immortal Legends expansion in May 2014.

Elite Dangerous – Premium Beta Begins Today

E Dangerous HUD

Frontier Developments plc, the leading independent game developer with studios in Cambridge UK and Halifax, Nova Scotia, today announced the delivery date of the next milestone in the development of its forth-coming Elite: Dangerous game.

The Premium Beta effectively starts today, with Premium Beta players able to download a single player combat build of the game. The full Premium Beta will start on 30th May 2014, and until then, players will be able to practice with the single player combat build.

Upgrades are on sale now for anyone who has already pre-ordered the standard Beta or the final game. Before the first Premium Beta release, Frontier will release one final Elite: Dangerous Alpha phase, Phase 4, which adds Travel and Trading.

Alpha phase 1 covered the vital moment-to-moment combat and ship controls. Alpha phase 2 added internet-based multiplayer capability. Alpha phase 3 expanded on these technology tests to add docking and the first elements of gameplay progression.

Alpha phase 4 expands significantly on this with two modes of faster than light travel – in-system ‘super-cruise’ and between-system ‘hyperspace’.  The full Milky Way galactic map, containing some 400,000,000,000 star systems, will be present. Alpha 4 gameplay is focused on a 200 cubic light year volume of space, far from Earth.

The date and further details of Alpha Phase 4 will be announced shortly.  Alpha contributors get early access to future builds and a lifetime benefit of discounted in-game ship insurance. Elite: Dangerous Alpha access is available for order until 25th April.

David Braben, CEO of Frontier, said:

“The Alpha process has worked well for us. We have gradually built out the key elements of the game, first locally, with single player combat, then with a few thousand players across the internet. On 30th May the Premium Beta extends this to many thousands of players worldwide, with an increasingly rich game.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who have played such an important role in Alpha testing, and I’m very happy that we will continue to benefit from their valuable input as they test Beta builds approximately 2 weeks in advance of release.

On 30th May we move into a new phase of Premium Beta testing, and I’m delighted to be able to welcome a significant numbers of new players to Elite: Dangerous today.”
