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

For the details of the tournament, please head over to the Galaxy Online event page at http://go.igg.com/news/view.php?aid=426

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:

In the vast expanses of space, Galaxy Online combines many unique design elements, including a commerce system, planetary colonization, warship design, fleet command, imperial expansion and much, much more. With all the game has to offer, the Galaxy Online team nevertheless has found a way to make it even more exciting. To create a better gaming environment with more intense PvP competition, they will merge Aries, Taurus and Gemini servers into the Libra server.

In addition, the developers are making modifications to some features to further encourage player conflicts and cooperation. First, the default nodes that separate the player factions will be removed. As players are forced to interact more with members of rival factions, they will evolve better combat strategies and teamwork. After the server merger, all characters’ friends and corps data will be deleted. Players will have to look for new friends and corps on the combined server, forming powerful new forces to withstand the challenges of a more densely populated universe.

If these changes aren’t enough to spice up your plans for exploration and conquest, the Galaxy Online team will also add offensive pirates to the vast universe. The extra variable will make battles more complex and their results more difficult to predict. Will pirates be your friends or foes when you engage your enemies? Either way, they will be a force to be reckoned with.

The merger will also have an impact on players’ characters and virtual property on the affected servers. Only one character per account will be transferred over. By default, the character with the highest Composite Strength score will be selected, unless players apply to have a different character transferred. The remaining characters will be deleted. Characters moving to the Libra server will have the planets they occupy outside of their home galaxy moved into their home galaxy. Despite their new locations, players shouldn’t see any changes to those occupied planets. Also, any GO Mall points exchanged by a character marked for deletion will be moved over to the character that is transferring over to the new server. When the merger is complete, every character on Libra that was created with an account registered before 1:00 AM EDT (GMT-4) on July 17, 2009 will receive 500 GO Mall Points. Based on Composite Strength ranking, the top 2,000 characters on each of the affected servers will receive an additional 500 Mall Points.

After the Libra merger, the Galaxy Online team will open a brand new server for new Galaxy Online players.

Make no mistake: the Libra server will be a dangerous, intense place to play, but as characters encounter and overcome these challenges, their accomplishments will be that much more impressive. Get ready to test yourself against new foes and make new allies as you expand your horizons and experience epic journeys to far off places, all in Galaxy Online!
