Angels Online official team is excited to announce that Fiery Cerberus, the Patron Beast of Dark City, has arrived in Eden. It is the first of the terrible creatures of Dark City to make its appearance in the game.

As a beast brought forth from legend, this Patron Beast has abilities that other mounts in Eden can only dream of, and as for its looks, well, it certainly turns heads.

Huge Size

The first thing other Angels seem to notice is its huge size compared with others, it is barrel chested and seems capable of crushing the skulls of any who oppose it. The next thing that attracts attention is its talons. Protruding from each paw are long sharp claws that tear at the ground as it passes. Look up and you’re confronted with 3 fierce heads, each bearing a grim grin that says, “I’m going to eat you, and I’ll smile while I chew.”

Awesome Attributes

Remember, this is no typical mount, as a special mount, it possesses attributes equal to that of Level 90 top mounts, and its 52% speed bonus is certain to give your hair that roguish ‘I drive a convertible Corvette’ look.

No Level Limitation

Last but not least, there are no pesky level limitations! Even a newbie player can travel around Eden on a Fiery Cerberus. Although anyone mounted on one of these sure isn’t going to be treated like a newbie.

Last week, the first 20 Fiery Cerberus’ available in the Angels Online Shell Mall flew off the shelves faster than you could say ‘Snap!’. So if you’re currently drooling on your keyboard, first grab a handiwipe, then head on over to the Angel’s Online official website for information about their new events. The prizes will be some of the last remaining Fiery Cerberus’! Visit http://ao.igg.com/news/news.php?aid=2273 to learn more details about Fiery Cerberus.

After achieving great success with the first war held on the International Battleground server, Galaxy Online team is eager to host another. Beginning late this past April, the first war was an intense conflict that showcased the skills of the best players from both the Chinese and English Galaxy Online servers. In the end, the Chinese side won in large part due to their superior warship deployments and teamwork. This time the team expects to see some of the English commanders who cut their teeth in the first war take the lessons they learned and put up an even better fight the second time around.

The rules for the second war will be the same as those used for the first one. During the second war, players from Chinese servers will be on one side and those from English servers will be on the other. Each participant will be given the same amount of initial resources and Science points, and the time needed to erect a building or build a ship will be shortened by 50%. The second war will also run for a limited period of time, with the side that occupies the most galaxies when the war comes to a conclusion earning the victory.

The application can be now made through http://go.igg.com/event/internationalbattleground/application.php

Finding fame and fortune can be quite the adventure in Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com). Whether sailing the high seas or searching for treasures on dry land, players are forever adding to their legends. Soon the spotlight will shine on the best of the best as they are immortalized in the Celebrity Hall.

The ToP Celebrity Hall will honor a server’s players who have earned all-star status in any of a number of swashbuckling pursuits. The ToP team has revealed that this new system will begin with inductees chosen for achievements that set them apart from the crowd over the past two years. Game officials will select honorees in such categories as Excellent Player (the first to reach level 100), Battlefield MVP, Excellent Reporters, and Excellent Player Cops to be included in the Celebrity Hall list.

Once players become more familiar with the Celebrity Hall, ToP officials will begin holding various events in which players can earn recognition for excellence and a chance to be inducted into the Hall. They will introduce ranking systems and divide the Hall into sections, including the Icicle Hall, Argent Hall, and many more. A server’s Hall can contain 200 players, each of whom will be honored with their own statue. Though it will open with many vacancies, players will be encouraged to visit the Hall and register to be considered for enshrinement. If a player’s desired place in the Hall is held by others, a challenge system will enable them to attempt to unseat their rivals.

Make your mark in the pirate world, either through victory or service, and you may find your place among the world’s most famous few. Many will stare at your likeness in awe and amazement as they marvel at your legendary exploits, if you are bold enough to seize the opportunity.

Since the latest update to Wonderland Online, the Mesopotamian city of Babylon has increasingly piqued players’ curiosity. Though the city is famous for its beautiful scenery, unique culture and even a mysterious love story, the Hanging Gardens are the city’s most stunning attraction.

Considered to be one of the original Seven Wonders of the World, the Hanging Gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar II of the Chaldean Dynasty. The king wanted to please his sick wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland in Persia.

In the center of the lush Hanging Gardens amidst the perfume of countless blossoms stands a palace with five floors. In front of the palace, a statue of a goddess holds a water bottle from which flows a miniature waterfall. The clear waters surround the goddess. To find the mysterious source of the water, players can follow it back to a small river leading to a waterfall on the palace’s next floor. Following the trail farther still they will discover that its true source is a waterfall on yet a higher floor of the palace.

If players have seen enough of such marvels, and wish to search for something still more spectacular, they should pass by a large, engraved stone to enter the first floor of the palace. Eight delicate rooms are arranged inside, but some strange sounds come from one of the rooms. There a giant gorilla guards a treasure box. Players can take the item from it, and then proceed to open the door to the room at the top left corner. Here the Garden Beast protects a huge stone with a powerful magic seal. If players defeat the beast, they will earn the deity stone, which will allow them to fly into the sky.

As they ascend into the sky, players will discover the lush trees and blossoms located in a mysterious field suspended 3,000 meters above the earth. Even more remarkable, an elegant and beautiful lady stands among the blossoms. She is the famous Babylonian queen, somehow alive here in her floating garden. She will share her story with those who approach her, explaining why she still lives.

Whether players delight in the city’s wonders or its mysteries, Babylon is a prime location for adventurers to explore in this incredible virtual world. Visit http://wl.igg.com to learn more about Wonderland Online.

The GodsWar Online team is constantly updating the game to ensure new content meets players’ needs. In the latest patch, players will be able to take advantage of several changes intended to accelerate character growth and boost the overall gameplay experience.

EXP Boost

Silver, EXP and talent points received from quests have been increased while the requirement needed for level building has been reduced (up to 10%). It is designed to ensure players can level up faster to reach the stage where the game gets more exciting with instances that are often level restricted.

Newbie Experience

To offer new players a more involved experience, the First Pet Mission is designed to give them a head start by familiarizing them with their pets and providing them with a helping hand in combat. Players above level 10 can accept the mission. Once complete, they can choose either a magical Flower Pixie or a powerful Minotaur as their first pet. In addition, players level 50 and below will benefit from a reduction to their silver requirement for forging rubies, emeralds and sapphires. This should stretch out new players’ funds, leaving them more to spend for future needs.

Pet System

One of the rules for pet-to-pet merging has been modified. The minimum level for the major pet is now 70, and the minimum level for the deputy pet is now 30.

Zodiac System

Like all the systems mentioned, this one is also designed to accelerate players’ growth. Players can choose a zodiac when they create a character. Players will each receive one chance to reselect their zodiac. Under the protection of a zodiac, players can strengthen their characters by receiving extra EXP and talent points based on their daily routines.

Once the zodiac system is activated, players will each receive one lucky day per week. For more details please visit the below link:
