However, the justice must exist where there is depravity. The great rabbi Master Tian Meng, who came from the north, contacted with all the righteous forces to suppress Master Blood and his evil minions who were increasing day by day. This battle had lasted about one hundred days, and the two sides were hurt badly. At last, Master Tian Meng and his four accomplices fought with Master Blood on Blood Mountain. The decisive battle lasted for five days, and Master blood was defeated by Master Tian Meng’s witchcraft called Heaven Ice, and was sealed in a block of one-thousand year ice cube. This ice cube was suppressed at the bottom of the deep pool in Green Scarp.

After Master Blood was sealed, people began to rebuild their homestead. And the whole continent gradually returned to peace and harmony. Due to the experience of this battle with evil, Master Tian Meng and his accompanies in this battle decided to created their own juntas and accepted lots of apprentices in order to increase the force of justice. Thus, Monk, Wizard, Fairy, Tamer and Assassin, those five juntas were created one by one. The force of justice became stronger and stronger.

Nevertheless, after five hundred years, the ice cube which was at the bottom of the deep pool in Green Scarp disappeared suddenly. And then, different kinds of evil ghosts and monsters continually appeared. The evil breath gradually suffused gradually. What had happened? Did Master Blood resurge, or was a new monster born? The five righteous juntas made the appointment to act together to find out the truth.

There is another monk called Buddhist Monk Tian Meng, whose position is even higher than Master with White Eyebrow. But his trace has been lost for a long time.

The place is hard and dangerous, so you and your teammates need to fight and explore together. The monsters in the scenario are usually very strong, so you must find some team members who are in the same camp with you. Of course, the bigger the danger is, the bigger your reward will be.

Blood Palace War

The war is between deferent guilds and persons. The guild which wins the war will be the Master Guild and gain the control right of Stone City and Blood Mountain.

Short review by fmmorpg.com

Our test team played this game for quite a while and feel that this game is a good copy of WOW. But there are also some bugs they need to fix such as lag problem, most serious problem we have encountered in this game; this game can not be supported in Windows Vista; hard to level after you reach level 20; Boss is too strong for a 20-member group to hunt; hard to get better equipment; item box is too small so that you need to do a stupid quest to enlarge your item box etc…

Dragon Throne Online (3D)

Friday, December 15th, 2006

Hey guys, I haven’t updated this site for a long time due to a lot of work. Today let us talk something about Dragon Throne Online. In previous articles, I mistook Phoniex Dancing as Dragon Therone Online as they are produced by the same company, I am sorry for that.

Project Definition

A Massively Multiplayer Online Strategic Role-Playing Game —3D MMOSRPG.
Different from the other games in the market, you can find an extra “S” in the above which is the abbreviation for strategy. It means “strategy, tactics, and military science” in “DT Online”.
Although a mainstream style online game, “DT Online” has some attractive features and innovative design ideas. Players can not only have fun in individual quests, but can also work together with other players as a team for the more dangerous and high priced quests. No matter whether in a battle array, an arena, a city war or a state war there is always an opportunity for players to demonstrate their wisdom and strategies.

Design Brief

Technology—Advanced
“DT Online” is the first complete 3D game that has ever been developed by Object Software. It adopts the OmSDK, which is a kind of game development environment, which is also self-developed by Object Software.
The GFX-3D Graphics Engine is the First Commercialized Game Engine in China. According to the special network and hardware environment in China, it optimizes its functions. As a result, it can perform well even on computers with relatively low configuration.
Server Infrastructure—Magnificent
The multi-server framework in “DT Online” sets up a large and seamless game world that provides reality to the Three Kingdoms World.
Background – Three Kingdoms
The game is set in the famous period of the Three Kingdoms from about AD180 to AD280 and the story is taken from the famous historical novel “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms” Which is one of the four Chinese classics.
The period of the Three Kingdoms has a deep and broad influence in Chinese social life and even on its whole culture. This provides a solid market foundation for the game.
Graphics – Realistic
With a strong realistic style and the luxurious sound and light effects, “DT online” builds a realistic Three Kingdoms world for players. All the numerous equipment, weapons, properties, and picturesque buildings and scenes make the world appear in the same brilliance as it had at the time!

Class

There are totally 6 classes in this MMORPG. They are close fighers: Paladin, Warrior; Distant Fighters: Archer, Thrower; Magic Skill Fighters: Warlock and Adviser.

The paladins in armor are masters of various weapons and defense. Being strong, quick-minded, and brave, they are unequaled in the Three Kingdoms period! Though not so strong as paladins, warriors have cast-iron armor to make up the disadvantage. They have the most excellent assassination skill with two-edged weapons. The enemies are their specialties. From them you will understand what a real heroine is. Archers do not use heavy armor and few weapons are suitable for them. It may make people feel worried for them. Just take it easy! The beauties have mastered archery so well that they can kill enemies easily even without coming near. They do not fight at close-quarters as warriors do, but they can’t be ignored. Throwers come from the Minority People in the West who are skilled at throwing knives, javelins and darts. They also know archery as well as archers do. Throwing needs their whole strength, so they have as strong a body as paladins. In order to look for the unwanted magic arts, warlocks travel a lot and experience life and death. That’s why they are extremely courageous and have a deep insight. Enemies are all fearful to fight with them and even get frightened before fighting. Warlocks make common people consider them as omnipotent god-men. Advisers are weak and seldom go into combat, but they are quick-minded. They can make comrades in arms unequaled with their terrific wisdom and strategy. In addition, they know how to improve their teammates’ attack and defense power in combat. Their advice is invaluable.

Age of Armor, the 4th round beta test in China

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

If you take notice to igg.com (currently Mythwar is launched by them), you will find that they will release a new English MMORPG called Voyage Century soon. But this game is not made by igg.com, it is made by Snail Game. Today we are not going to introduce that voyage game, we are going to say something about the Intron Plan, a 3D robot game made by Snail Game.

As all we know that the only English game operator in North America, TQdigital, will release a 2D robot game called Zero Online soon, and at almost the same time, Snail Game will release its 3D robot game Intron Plan. Its Chinese version had been in close beta test for four times already. At the end of 2006, most of Chinese players are able to play this 3D robot game.

There are two camps in IntroPlan, earth and mars. You can choose your character from three races: Natural person, Strengthen Person and Newhuman. Each of them has a logo, all logos look like those in animation Transformers. At first you can only stay in newbie server. Later when you get to a certain level, you can enter higher level servers.

Of course you will enjoy loads of weapons and equipments here. You can choose long-distance weapons or short distance weapons. You can use a better propeller to move faster… Compared to Zero Online, both weapon and equipment system are a bit complicated, and of course if you are a robot fan, you won’t bother it.

Our testers have already started their journey in this 3D robot game, later we will provide more details about it. If you want to check more screenshots, please visit our bbs.
