    Angels Online: New Expansion Backdrop Story

    Friday, September 5th, 2008
    “The Lost Atlantis”, the new expansion of Angels Online (http://ao.igg.com/main.php) is fast approaching. In this brand new expansion, the highest character level will be level 100.

    Meanwhile, a series of systems including the special Cards Collection System will be available. Players can also evolve their pets with an Advanced Blood Certificate. Besides, 15 new scenes which are designed based of the legend of “The Lost Atlantis” will be opened for players to experience.

    Today, the Angels Online team is very happy to introduce the new expansion background stories for all players.

    Long ago, there was a mystical kingdom called Atlantis located to the west of the beautiful city of Eden. Generations of Angels lived and worked there in peace. However, this peace was soon destroyed by the ferocity of war. After the war, Atlantis was torn from the land and sunk beneath the waves.

    New Scene

    Recently, scientists from the Iron Castle Exploration Association have found the exact location of Atlantis. The first cooperation among the Aurora City, the Dark City, the Breeze Woods and the Iron Castle in history was created. They have built a Palm Base in the Puqi Island and created a great exploration ship, Habosen. They sailed to Atlantis.

    Several days ago, Habosen was suddenly attacked and sunk beneath the waves after it finished the quest on its way back to Puqi Island. Mamen, the leader of the Evil Lyceum, stood on board the Habosen and gazed at treasures obtained from the cabin. He murmured, “Everything from Atlantis belongs to me. Why did you ask someone to take them back from me after you destroyed them? I swear I will take every last item back.”

    Because of the incident, people on Puqi Island became anxious. They were unable even to leave Palm Base. The evil shadows under the water have become broader and broader. Are there any survivors of the Habosen disaster? What’s the secret in the ship? What’s the relationship between Mamen and the lost kingdom of Atlantis? A series of riddles await Angels.
